One of the best headhunters I ever worked with had been a programmer before he found his way into the world of recruiting. That was back in the 1980s and I have no idea what became of him but I wish that he could be cloned.
Governments are not owned by corporations in any way. Governing bodies have way more budget and powers, such as the use of military and the police when they see it fit. Of course companies try to influence or lobby officials but in the end governments are not owned by anyone, and the more officials you have the more unlikely it is to bribe them all.

No, they can't.

Because on iOS, first, it's only possible with SIP calls. Second, a red tab bar appears while on that, alerting the user that a background call is in place. Third, Apps can't make this on their own, no background execution.

Also, there's no way Apps can access any logs on iOS.
The root of the problem is the idea that you must be productively employed. It's a fallacy, and everything else that follows from it (like this notion that optimizations are bad because they result in fewer skilled jobs) are wrong for the same reasons.

Unfortunately, it's a fallacy with very strong social support. Including, ironically, these very people who are hurt most by it.
This isn't a very good article. The analysis of the issue is very shallow and the author is stating the obvious: 'It would be easier for users if everything can be found on one service that costs $10/month' and 'more publishers are getting into their own streaming business and that is the opposite'. Yes, thank you, we are all quite aware of that.

That being said I am surprised by the comments here. Quite a few people seem to be arguing FOR a situation where lots of content leaves bigger providers so that it can be hosted in separate streaming services like Disney is now doing. Why? Are you all just being recalcitrant or am I to believe that you'd prefer paying (3 * $10)/month for a decent content coverage (assuming 3 different providers) instead of just $10/month? .

Another strange 'opinion' that is being shared here is that it would be better to pay only for the things you want to watch. a. This has been around for quite a while already, so it is unclear to me why this is being brought up as something that Netflix should do suddenly and b. I don't see how this would be an alternative to someone who is happily paying Netflix's ~$10/month. I myself find that a big value that Netflix has for me is the complete library of movies, series and stand-up they have and that I can freely watch anything they offer without having to pay for individual viewing sessions. I, for example, often put on something I have already seen or some stand-up while doing chores around the house. I would never do this if I had to pay for this content on top of what I would already be paying for the things that I actively watch.

Apart from the practical implications of pay-per-view in my example I also think that the quality of the content would suffer. Right now it is very easy for me to watch some experimental content on Netflix. Some Netflix originals are not your typical series or film and I quite enjoy the more different content as an addition to the more popular series. If people will have to start picking the things they want to watch and pay for every view these series will not get watched at all and therefore not be made at all. The advantage that Netflix has is that they try to persuade people to come to them for a variety of content that is interesting and unique to Netflix. This is how they grow and retain their user base. If you get rid of this model and start asking people to pay-per-view there would be no reason for them to keep making their own unique content anymore as you'd choose your provider on a view per view basis.

It would be interesting to know how often the Streisand Effect is invoked intentionally as part of a "viral marketing campaign" or similar. At this it's well-understood enough that I'm sure there are people who are depending on the suppressed outlet to go public and "Streisand" their property for them.

I would've never heard of the single domain on this blocklist if not for this project. We should be careful that we're not accidentally handing a new marketing tool over by "Streisanding".
Arrakis is hardly just a monocosm. It has a living breathing ecological history that explains why its the way it is rather than it just being an arbitrary set piece (like most of the monocosms in say, Star Wars). Originally it was a lush tropical realm until the advent of the sandworms who in turn devastated the environment causing it to become the wasteland it was at the time of the first Dune book. As the series progresses, the environment of Arrakis changes as well and I believe by the end of Frank Herbert's books large swaths of it had returned to a thick, vegetative state. The changing nature of the planet Arrakis is key to understanding the themes of the Dune series.

It gives a consistent layout in memory, meaning you can save/load very simply. Using a struct puts you at the mercy of the compiler's struct packing and alignment settings.

Not once they reach a certain size, no. It turns into a pointless exercise in moral relativism. Joe brings up the Soviets, Jane counters with the East India Company. Bob rants about Trump, Betsy pulls up the Wikipedia article on Union Carbide. Sally complains about police brutality, Sam lectures her on the history of the Pinkerton Agency. Hank sticks up for the UAW, Mary criticizes the Teamsters.

None of these organizations should have been trusted implicitly to do the right thing for society at large. The burden of proof rests decisively with those who want us to believe that Google and Facebook are somehow different.
Ask HN: Coding Card Game Caption Ideas for Bugs
Have been developing Potato Pirates, a card game which uses basic programming concepts (e.g. loops & conditionals) to power its gameplay mechanics.

In the game, there are 7 Potato Kings (bug cards) that you need to collect to win the game. Each bug card is a unique error in programming.

Asking for caption ideas for the bug cards as we are thinking of printing them on shirts! https://www.dropbox.com/s/182x33hg75jlkwp/Potato%20Pirates%20Card%20Game%20Caption.jpg?dl=0

Right now, we are thinking of just hashtagging the error but would love to get more ideas from the community and make it a card game by geeks for geeks!
If Charter is anything like Comcast, by not going through them for my cable I save monthly:

$50 - 5 additional cable box rentals

$10 - "HD Technology Fee"

$5 -- Broadcast access fee

$3 -- Regional Sorts Fee

That's $68 I avoid by using Hulu + Sling + CBS All Access. We have 6 TVs, 3 Roku sticks, a Roku TV, and 3 Apple TV's.
I think that the step from dugout to outrigger canoe is relatively small and comes with massive advantages

But people aren't gonna pay $10 or even $5 every month for a disney-only streaming subscription, if disney doesn't put out new content for it. It's way cheaper to just buy your favorite disney shows & movies. Disney is more established in producing fresh content for their subscribers - cause they're a studio - but that's a different question.
We used it on an Ubuntu machine on Azure. We didn't do any real tuning yet, it was just an initial test to ballpark the benefit.
I built an automated prank call system called Insultron a few years ago. You simply send a text message to 765-444-4442 and it will prank call your chosen friend with some randomly generated ridiculous insults. At one point a few years ago I used it on Steve Wozniak since he was a big fan of prank calling back in the day (pro tip for contacting Woz: his personal phone number is in his autobiography, but in order to get through you have to have a caller ID that’s in the same area code.)

It used to cost me under five dollars a month using Twilio but its usage has taken off dramatically (completely organically) and now it cost me closer to $50 a month but I keep paying it because it’s fun.

I also built and ran an implementation of Cat Facts several years ago until that was shut down by my provider because people are abusing it too much.
Yes, but lots of content cannot be accessed that way. Especially not live sports events.
you never own anything you buy online these days. its only a license to watch stuff that can be taken from you at any time.
In my opinion the important thing to remember is that Youtube could easily do something about this. It seems like there's a trend in a lot tech-centric companies to save money automating away actual content review as well as customer interaction. But humans are entirely capable of reviewing content and giving detailed explanations for why something has been judged a certain way, especially if you have them work alongside an automated system that simplifies the process for them.

I realize that minimizing human labor is a big part of how these sorts of business models achieve their profitability, but problems like this aren't going to go away as long as that's the norm. And I don't just mean poor explanations for policy decisions either. The core issue is bigger than that imo.

The information age has privatized a lot of the modern 'public' social/cultural spaces. For nations that value both the freedom of speech and the preservation of historically/culturally significant speech this is problematic. It reduces the public's ability to express itself but also their ability to look back on old expressions and learn about the history or cultural paradigms behind them.

This isn't really supposed to be a rant at Google in specific. They're just the topic at hand so they're the easy punching bag. In general, customer service aside, I think they do good work and more importantly they exercised the necessary foresight and resources to develop their products into what they are today. I'm by no means implying we should socialize social media... no pun intended. But I do think there needs to be more discourse about how these trends will affect the future of speech and historical censorship. Right now it's just a modern problem in its infancy, but decades from now people who want to see visceral content depicting firsthand experiences from events like those happening in Syria, or the Arab Spring, are going to be getting censored history. What if China started pressuring foreign companies, via benevolent coercion such as financial incentives, to implement systems that made finding information about Tienanmen Square more difficult? The privatized nature of these platforms makes this sort of attack easier as well. And I don't have a good solution, but that's why I think there needs to be more dialogue about the future of online media in general and what direction we want to steer it in.
Jewel vs. NSA
Exactly. I'm not going to go to Disney or Showtime and subscribe on everyone's platform to watch the one or two shows I would watch. But if it's a reasonably priced addition to whatever streaming service I regularly use... I'm more likely to.
> Agenda first journalism is causing more problems than it solves.

That's not journalism. That's activism and advocacy masquerading as journalism. In other words, it's propaganda. Things were better, when pieces that were clearly opinionated were in the Opinions section of the newspaper. Now entire newspapers are opinions.

To be fair, pure objectivity is impossible unless you only present facts and avoid selective omission, but it doesn't mean we can't strive to try and be as objective as possible. Saying that it's impossible to be objective, so we shouldn't even bother trying is at the root of our current problems.
I apologize, I misremembered the statistic from an article I read months ago. They only account for 99%+ of the growth in the last year, according to this article.

Having multiple streaming providers will lead to more original content since streaming infrastructure alone is not defensibility.

Hopefully each streaming provider will share older seasons similar to how Netflix has acquired content currently.

I have Amazon, HBO, Netflix, and YouTube Red. I am happier than when I had a cable package - there is much more content I want to watch.
I'm still going through the link, but I think I can answer your question in the general sense. In creative writing classes you get a lot of rule of thumb advice similar to what's being talked about here. The reason it's a rule isn't because you're not supposed to break it. The reason it's considered a rule is to discourage students from using a particular theme, technique, or idea as their primary tool at the expense ignoring growth in their personal areas of weakness.

It's not assumed that the student will follow the rule once they've finished the course. But during the learning period they're discouraged from breaking the rule because the overarching goal is to have them develop a broad technical skill set that they can then refine back down into their own particular style.

Technically Damore did not do the company wrong. He posted on a private, internal discussion board at Google. Someone else leaked it to Gawker, doing the actual harm to the company.

Also, his memo is concerned with what he believed potentially illegal practices at Google and so he may be protected by whistleblower laws.

Yes employment is at will in the US, however the legal analysis I've seen indicates he has above average chance of winning a suit against Google, if they don't just reach into their very deep pockets to settle out of court. He may walk away from this a millionaire.

I respect your work as a moderator dang, but when it has a healthy amount of upvotes and is just bluntly stating that religion is not going to be around in the future, I find that pretty sad that it's being censored. I did not speak in a respectful manner towards religion, granted, which I don't feel great about, but at the same time I don't really believe religious institutions deserve our respect because of the opportunity costs I listed. Is this view really 'starting a flamewar'? Would someone like Richard Dawkins or really even any of the primary authors of the French Enlightenment be allowed to participate on HN?
I do this regularly - go to the countryside, sleep in a hotel of a very small city, take pictures of abandoned buildings in once-thriving communities that died because the railroad station no longer has passenger service, or because most people migrated to cities.

This attitude of "non-action makes you part of the problem" is counter-productive as it relies on shame to achieve it's goal and shame as a tactic is one that many are adverse to and actively reject.

It's perfectly okay to remain neutral and not get involved. In fact, if more people remained neutral (and were allowed to be neutral), the quality of discourse today would be a lot better because we would be allowed to be individuals instead of being forced to choose sides in an "us versus them" conflict. Furthermore, not allowing people to remain neutral is often a bedfellow of demanding ideological purity.
During the Arab Springs I suspected many police violence video would be deleted from Youtube. I had downloaded them to my server and posted everywhere the links for people to mirror them. Not a single person did yet.

I have been amazed at the little importance people put on this kind of video. You have video evidence of crimes with faces appearing clearly. It can take 5 to 10 years for such events to calm down enough to reach a point where crimes can be prosecuted.

And it is hard to blame youtube for that. They are considered the channel for Lady Gaga and silly cats video. Hell, I know 3 years old toddler who browse youtube unsupervised.

In many places Youtube is criticized to promote violence and extremism by leaving these videos. I feel bad for them, they are between a hammer and a hard place.

I just hope that the censored video are not totally deleted from their servers. They should have someone reviewing criminal videos and keeping them at the disposal of judicial authorities but even that opens a whole can of worms: do you obey only to US authorities (who do not care about war crimes in other countries)? Do you obey all world authorities including Saudi and Chinese?

Anyway, that's youtube's problem, not ours. Simply, helping prosecute war crime is not part of Youtube's mission, so do not trust them for it. To anyone who feels this is important content, use youtube-dl and keep backups. Make torrents of it, share it around, make sure it does not disappear.

And when some NGO finally realize that this content is precious, pump up your upload bandwidth and fill their servers.
Which is itself a rather interesting idea.

You completely and utterly misrepresented what he was saying in this post which makes me question whether you read it in the first place.

Let me roughly refute your points (I don't have time to go more in depth right now, sorry):

1. He never said a hacker ethos is required.

2. He's saying he believes that development of a hacker ethos takes significant time and that may explain why there are few women at the time of his statement who seem to have it. Point being that cultivating it en masse is generational.

3. He never makes this claim, you seem to be extrapolating it heavily.

4. This point is accurate but you stripped the context.

5. He's saying the skewed funnel doesn't allow for YC to have a higher ratio of women. Phrasing matters, and I think yours is inaccurate. You also injected the phrase "main reason" which he never claims.

Unless of course you just want to render private custom tailored stuff and dont care about the rest of the Web.

If they want to be adventurous, why at least not helping a project like Servo?

Now, this would make a lot of sense, if they will use this in a custom infrastructure. If you want to explore Tor or Bitcon in a particular way.. where you know sites will be made to be rendered in this particular browser.

Otherwise, its a multi-multi year project just to catch up where the big guys were 8 years ago. Its great as a learning path, but if you are expecting this to be the next Firefox..

I still don't see how it would be any different than a boycott. If it's big enough to be successful even when the companies he funds are providing value, then that means everyone involved is saying that stopping what he's done is worth enough to give up on the value from those companies. Are people supposed to just lay back and let the wealthy do what they want without a fight anymore? It's not like violence is being advocated, just voting with your dollar
