I'm sure the MPAA would like to disagree, but what is your source on copyright law?

Copyright law prohibits those who have copy of something from making and distributing unauthorized copies. But if you receive one of these copies, I don't see what law that would break or why the receiver would be responsible.
I agree. On Linux, Flatpak actually does the same thing: apps only get permission to access resources when the user chooses to work with those resources by making selections in the UI.

I would argue it's less that they are misleading and more that people are still learning that there is more than one way to initiate a search.

This article reminds me of my coworkers who think San Mateo is sketchy "On the other side of the tracks".

I've lived 90th and International in Oakland and have a pretty good idea of what "red" looks like. Speaking from personal experience, San Leandro and Hayward are nice places to live in, and the crime maps match my experience with the area [1]. I understand the article was talking about poverty and not crime, but poverty and crime are correlated [2], so a crime map is a valid proxy.

I agree that some areas are a bit run down, but overall I think its the opposite, pockets of "red" surrounded by "green".

They aren't attacking any ideology I disagree with as far as I'm aware. It's their computers and they can do what they want with them.
Node has threads in C++ for that sort of thing. Async programming is a big deal for performance. That's essentially the main reason Node is any faster than Python. If you use fully async Python on uvloop, you can get comparable performance.
I hesitate to comment because I don't think this conversation is productive. But I'll stray in. Your request for links is strange because Matt never said there were pro-supremacy posts. He said there were posts defending white supremacists. You have conflated the two concepts.
It's a response to the React patent drama. After "everyone" decided they were going to give up on Macbook Pros last year, there was a swell of posts about switching to Linux. Ditto for whenever there's an AWS or Github outage, etc.
Maybe promises come before async/await, in an evolutionary sense. Same way that for-each loops seem to precede generators / yield. C# added Task before the syntax sugar of async/await. Java currently has Future, and I expect async/await to finally show up in about 10 years time...
Yep I've checked it, but it only supports a few of the applications i want to include. Also, the UI and such leaves a lot to be desired.

I'm decided to just start on it. I'll use it to give myself an intro to HTML and Python. So far just a simple page with a clock. But it's something!
While this is not the best of posts, I do think some of the responses deserve better than to be buried with it.

I gave it an up vote in order to unbury the rest of the discussion.
I've switched 6 months ago and despite the fact that I use !g at least once per day I'm positivity surprised by the quality of results. If they improve by 10% I'd be able to leave Google Search completely.

At least 4 out of 11 parent comments so far cover: the "ludicrous accusation" of the censored victim, "it was probably mistakenly banned and repeatedly denied further attempts at access", "we're not sure why he's banned", and "we're not sure why he's banned, but it's certainly not related to all of the other political censorship and outright subversive manipulation that's been occurring towards anyone who doesn't subscribe to the mainstream media narrative".

That's right, nothing to see here folks. Dismiss this crazy person for speaking the truth. Statistics should be supressed. Deny their ability to speak out against the extreme subversion that is taking place. Deny their ability to organize. Isolate and destroy. Or you're next.
Anyway, where's the CEO blog on "why I make everyone work 9-5." or "never allow anyone to work from home." I know you're out there. Speak your piece!

Here's Marissa Meyer doing exactly that [1]:

To become the absolute best place to work, communication and collaboration will be important, so we need to be working side-by-side. That is why it is critical that we are all present in our offices. Some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and cafeteria discussions, meeting new people, and impromptu team meetings. Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home. We need to be one Yahoo!, and that starts with physically being together.

I have no idea what this article was about. Let's see. Somehow this individual drives from San Francisco to San Mateo and considers everything in between poor? Perhaps he should venture a little bit more ? How about driving around 280, Hillsborough, Burlingame, Milbrae up in the hills ? All of these are beautiful neighborhoods with houses > $2mn. Not sure what he is talking about. Somehow, he thinks the "stuff on water" is in San Mateo. It is actually Foster City.

Then he drives south from San Mateo down south and until he reaches Palo Alto, he thinks everything is working class poor. Interesting, because between San Mateo and Palo Alto you have Belmont, Redwood City, San Carlos, Atherton, and Menlo Park. Anybody who believes only working class poor lives in these cities, not sure how to take them seriously.

Then this person believes whole of San Jose is a slum. Obviously never been to Evergreen or the myriad of other neighborhoods in San Jose. Then he thinks Fremont has "promise". I actually live in Fremont and not sure if there is a working class neighborhood in Fremont. Fremont has beautiful parks and lakes and great schools.

Ok, Hayward and Oakland are bit rundown. But even Hayward Hills and Oakland Hills are amazing places to live.

My guess - this person drove down El Camino real in the Peninsula and concluded everything by driving down one street.

He also makes an incredible claim - only 2-3% have salaries that let them live comfortably. Others are working on 2-3 jobs. I guess people are working on 2-3 jobs and paying millions for their houses.

What a terrible article.
Only downside I've found with this is that Observables feel like more of a pain to test, since your logic gets more tightly coupled to your I/O. Or at least there's more complexity involved in the relationship between I/O and data manipulation. I used them for a Node project via RxJS and ended up just switching back to promises, as it wasn't complex enough of a project to really see much of a benefit from Observables.
Pointer-bump allocations are fast in isolation, but if your code is doing one it means the compiler has gotten itself confused, and every time it gets confused it makes it harder for later code to be optimized. Compilers only really reason reasonably about value types (and even then you should never assume they're smart[1]).

That said, I don't actually know allocation is the problem; it's a suspect, but unlike a native script I can't just run `perf` to get performance counters and assembly listings. All I really know is that the non-allocating order is a lot faster.

Just wanted to write that ;). Despite being C# developer and often smiling at the state of the Java language, I think Java will get async/await faster than in 10 years. I am more optimistic about it.
I think Jamie Dimon said it best, it's almost embarrassing to be an American these days. Homeless people everywhere, mentally insane people screaming on the streets, rude classless people (in the ghetto), failing infrastructure, a narcissistic demagogue trust fund kid as president. Every single major city in America has a ghetto not unlike a third world country - NYC, LA, Chicago, SF, etc. I've never understood why we tolerate this poverty in our own backyards.

There was a period when we were the model nation for the world, and that period is long gone. As long as America is ruled by the mindset of "everyone for themselves" and free market fundamentalism, nothing is going to improve - and in fact things are only going to get worse as the job market tightens due to technological automation.

I'm perfectly fine with people having the right to be crass. It becomes a problem when it's glorified as the point of free speech, and when entertainers believe that people bowlderizing their own, private copies of things is unforgivable.

The point of free speech is to ensure that unpopular political opinions have room to air, everything else is a happy side effect.
From the article:

"Heading north from Fremont is basically sadness. Hayward, Oakland, San Leandro, Richmond, Vallejo. They’re all poverty stricken and broken. The only green zones I see out in that area are maybe in Dublin, Pleasanton, Moraga, etc., but I honestly don’t know much about those areas because I seldom get out there."

Oh no, what happened to Piedmont, Berkeley, Kensington and all the other lovely East Bay towns? Perhaps the author is only seeing poverty because that's what he's looking for.

To me, the suggestion that living in Dublin is preferable to living in Oakland sounds bizarre. A lot of people in these "broken" cities would rather be there than anywhere else, so they must have something going for them.
It might be complicated for you, but it's simple for me. Google can do what it wants with its stuff and you don't get to tell it what to do with its computers. They don't have a monopoly on any essential services.

Isn't those exact companies and the businesses that will end up paying for it anyway through taxes along with others in the state? This certainly isn't a federal problem. I'm not sure how getting government involved fixes it as if their funds are just "free" and "exist".
Thank you. Now, to avoid what would otherwise be a special-pleading argument on behalf of CS, you'd have to explain what innate preference would lead women to avoid CS despite:

* The fact that the other STEM fields are usually more intellectually rigorous than CS.

* The fact that some of those STEM fields are in fact the intellectual foundation for CS (Daniel Bernstein has an old quote about how mathematics is fundamentally the "easiest" of the STEM fields, and has as a result advanced much further into the frontiers of human knowledge than the other field, which creates the impression that it is more forbidding than it actually is).

* The fact that almost all of these fields are dominated by computers; in fact, I know professors in bio fields who do more hardcore programming than the typical CS grad does (to wit: they're sometimes forced to write things in C, even in 2017).

* The fact that many of the STEM fields that feature significant female participation are more "things"-oriented than CS, which, as it is practiced in the industry, is largely abstractions wrapped around human social interactions.

* The fact that the rest of STEM, in which women excel, feature large amounts of long-term solo investigative work, while CS as practiced in the industry is universally a team pursuit which has been recognized at least since Fred Brooks as being overwhelmingly about communications and coordination skills.

If you'd like to broaden the analysis outside of STEM --- for instance, to observe how much other professions impinge on personal lives, make demands of home life, have poorer work-life balance, have utterly inflexible hours and workplace location requirements, and require short-notice travel, and still have nearly 50/50 participation of men and women, we can do that too.

It seems plainly obvious to me that there's not much of an argument for an innate female aversion to computer science that wouldn't contradict these observations. When you have to gerrymander an argument around inconvenient facts like that, we call the result "special pleading". Can you make a clear argument that won't be that thing?
Firefox asks you first "do you want search suggestions", both for the search bar and for the address bar.
One was steel blades for die-cutting. I'd been on/off looking for a LONG time, with not much from Google, my primary search engine. Thought "Why not?" so tried Bing, and 'like a violin', a couple of relevant entries popped up.

Now, full-disclosure - Google had for years offered me options for companies on the continent and across the pond, but given mine was an explanatory investigation, I wanted a local company so that I could pick their brains over the phone and order the bare minimum I needed to get me on my feet.

This was about a year ago, so it may well be now that Google has the sites I found indexed too.

...also, Google could previously find mass-industrial options here in Britain, but they were not the sort of companies I could order at my groping-in-the-dark scale from.
It would be great if the underrepresentation stats also included class distinctions, or at least economic backgrounds.
Statistics Professor Just Banned by Google: Here Is His Story
If your reason to buy is because of the current price, then no.

If you've noticed that the price has gone up for every year but one of its tradable life, and want to dollar-cost average by making regular purchases, then yes.
The point is that if you're searching for "n", "no", "not", "note", "notep", "notepa" and "notepad" because you typed a bit slowly into your start menu, those 7 searches count for nothing by any useful metric, be it either anything a human was interested in, or anything an advertiser is interested it. Google doesn't lose out a search because typing "notepad" into the Start menu never meant a desire to search the internet in the first place. If Bing is counting those as searches they aren't very "real". I say "if" because I don't have any direct knowledge.
Curious about your logic there? My experience has been the opposite - it's the folks who live in run-down conditions and save 50-80% of their income for decades that end up with a $5-10M net worth, while folks who live comfortably all that time leave this world with maybe a couple hundred K.

Biases on the table: co-authored a paper on machine learning, graduated undergrad summa cum laude from an CS honors program with a 4.0 GPA in courses in CS, then dropped out in the first semester in an CS MSc program due to personal issues. You'll find no stronger proponent of a classical CS education.

There is plenty of time for someone to learn about DAGs (really, they're not rocket science) while they're a junior dev, and a bright person, given a series of tasks slightly increasing in complexity and difficulty, will have no trouble learning the fundamentals.

Most of my CS classmates were much more interested in going to school to get their degree to become the next Mark Zuckerberg or maybe work for him. They'd cram for tests between beer pong and bong hits and forget 90% of what they were there to learn. I'd rather hire someone who is bright with any college degree (best programmer where I worked at in my last job had a Masters in dramatic arts) than a random somebody with a CS background. Everything I need in theory from a junior dev can be tested during an interview - it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what quicksort is, or how to write documentation, or how to create a new class in Java without using an IDE.

I guess the major difference is that I don't see a CS degree as a sign of a good programmer. I see it as a sign that someone endured classes for four years, and I am open to the possibility that someone with another degree might be a better fit at a junior level than anybody with a CS degree that bothered to respond to the job posting.
Even without SubstrateVM, Graal is a big step forward IMO in terms of interop and performance for the JVM. And Graal/Truffle are under the GPLv3, and only need JDK9 JVMCI interfaces, so I think it's mostly in the clear at this point... They can change the license, but they can't take away the code that's already open.

That said: I agree it seems extremely likely at this point that Oracle is going to milk Substrate for enterprise money, and that's a shame because it is a really important component of the system, in my opinion. And not having it will be a big drag for people who are considering Truffle/Graal.
It's because Google is better at hiding such results and it's impossible to completely turn off safe search. So Bing by being the major player left is better for such searches.

Who is Will and why should we throw eggs at him?
It's all relative. I'm just saying that someone who's talented enough to get a job at Google could probably land a cushy remote gig and live somewhere dirt cheap, saving more money and enjoying a higher quality of life.
In my case, I'm not a recruiter, so I interview everyone they ask me to interview -- I've never played a role in the original vetting.

I think most large companies have a formalized system of initial screening -- which has been criticized for relying on keywords and such. It's done by HR. After that, there's a phone screen which is much like an in person interview -- the questions should be pre-written based on the resume and generally they are. In my company I've worked to write up large banks of questions w/answers and distributed them to people doing phone screens for this purpose, and I've used that in my own phone screens.

What people should do is formalize the interview process which helps in so many ways -- a repeatable process with repeatable questions lets you compare people across times and gives a lot of insight. It also helps reduce bias.

I do think that small companies tend to do a worse job that big companies with established HR practices. That's not only true for HR, it's true across the board. Young people who are inexperienced are going to make mistakes. Certainly there is going to be "culture" type bias in start ups and other small companies at least during the screening process. I wouldn't say that's too relevant for "Silicon Valley", as you have these issues in small businesses in every industry.
Thanks for the post, great writing...
Have there been some HN articles about good alternatives to Google services?

I seem to remember Mail-in-a-box getting some support for running your own server. I've also seen kolabnow.com looking promising.
Another thing I've been curious about is how many of the founders had student loans when they started the company. I'd bet that student loans hold a lot of people back. I just paid mine off last year.
No one has yet implied that it's irrelevant because it's "old".

However, my view is that we are generally chronological beings at heart, and knowing the year that something was posted (if it wasn't the current year) is a useful to aid in determining whether we may have seen it before or whether it may be particularly relevant to our interests.
> Firefox [...] has a separated search bar and won't send any data over the wires when using the address bar

It can does offer suggestions from the address bar, but only after you click "yes I want this". Same for the search bar.

What you say sounds like the search bar does send keypresses and like the address bar can't (both are incorrect).
> There's no reason that a bright student with a biology background couldn't be a perfect fit

There's no reason that a bright student with Chinese poetry background couldn't be a perfect fit. But I think there's reasons why we still have CS degrees even though there's no reason why any bright person can't teach oneself coding. OTOH, if you go this route and say CS degree doesn't matter at all, just drop any connection to degrees and hire people based on tests or something - why link it to biology?
I'm going!
