Telling companies that they can't terminate user accounts without a redress or data recovery mechanism (which is what my original point was) isn't a restriction on free speech any more than us telling corporations they can't sell you poisonous food is. This sort of American "reductio ad free speachum" is really peculiar, especially when it's stretched to fit corporate actions like this that aren't even remotely related to anything anybody would classify as speech
Speaking of interop - the nice thing about .NET type system, is that it has facilities to do complete mapping to C, with the sole exception of setjmp/longjmp (which is generally a sore point with everything, even C++ doesn't handle it well). You already pointed out unsigned integers and structs; it's also worth pointing out raw (non-GC-aware) pointers, and explicit layout structs; the latter can handle C unions seamlessly, in particular (you just say that all fields have offset 0).
The free states industrialized, and the slave states did not.

I'm not anti-NSA, I'd be pro-NSA if they actually helped improve national security -- like by reporting discovered flaws to software makers instead of sitting on them and keeping them quiet in the believe that no one else will discover them.... or worse, supposedly getting (or coercing) companies to install flaws that the NSA can exploit.
It's not like there's no precedent for this sort of thing. The Alaska Permanent Fund[0] is a fine example of a portfolio managed by a state-owned corporation that pays out to residents.

Definitely, a networking system today should expect that. Cheat detections can look for speed changes, origin changes, patterns of previous matches and more for helping this.

The system running on the client or p2p or later verified part (physics/local client) might be better here as it can correct without too much degradation via smart interpolation and extrapolation.

Well designed systems also are compact and could run even on older tech making slowing/spamming (sometimes causing verification or error overloading to slow everything down as well) techniques less impactful.

In terms of large player bases, game design and level design can also help this, making sure everything is in smaller areas. Large scale games like Planetside 1/2 probably did the best at this early on, even big maps are designed in a way that you interact with less people depending on where you are. PvP cheating is still a big issue but there are lots of protections including social i.e. disconnect counts high, people don't play you.
Having to wait and sometimes pray for your vendor to ship an update is why I chose to stick to the Nexus line of phones until it ended.

My next device may or may not be a Pixel, but the above coupled with the shitty "value adds" like custom file managers and stuff that Samsung et al tend to cram into their already bloated Android implementations pretty much guarantees I'll never by a Samsung or similar.

My wife's Galaxy S3 was slow the day she got it, and it only went downhill from there, to the point that a spare BB Priv felt like an upgrade to her. At that point the Priv was already 2 years old.

edit: can someone explain the down votes? for real, I thought this was a pretty level headed comment. is it just that I dumped on Samsung?

The arm on the previous version was detachable so I think it’s fair to assume you can attach one to this new version too. Also I presume it’ll have all the same use cases as other bi-/quadpeds such as rescue mission reconnaissance and other situations where wheels and propellers don’t cut it.

I don't like the government literally making the choice for everyone. It's an incentive structure. It's like taxing a promise note to me that I'll be paid $x dollars in $y years. Options is an incentive which says I can't pay you as well as I'd like but instead I'll share the upside with you. Investors who put in cash are not taxed for the shares they receive. Options should be viewed similarly. It's like sweat-equity in a sense.
I can't speak about Oppenheimer, but I can speak to how we understand that scientific practice in antiquity worked as they themselves described it. Have you studied the Pythagoreans through Plato? Or read Vitruvius? This is not oh, those capricious gods! stuff, this is "what can we think about?", "how do we know what we know?", and "how does it apply?" stuff. And, when you spend time reading them, it is pretty obvious that there is no need to backfit a just-so-story of a narrative.

> Did they have the science to build aqueducts (and bridges, and buildings) that survived, or did they have some experience and some rules of thumb, and some of it was done well enough to survive 2 millenia?

What do you think the iterative process of developing those rules of thumb is, if it isn't science? If it isn't literally how science has progressed since...well...antiquity?

And if Aristotle being wrong about the observation rankles you, then Epicurus's canonics are right there, too.
There are some terrible people out there that will lie to get what they want (c.f. borderline personality disorder, sociopaths, etc.). They exist in large quantities in the business world.

I've been on the receiving end of false (non-harassment) accusations and it sucks. I now take precautions to prevent that from happening again and I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that BPD or sociopath women would use false harassment accusations to achieve their means.
The poster above was claiming to not have trouble "finding a good competitor" to Google's services. I simply asked if they found one to Google's most synonymous service: search.
Didn't they respond to this already? Spying is what they do, and as far as I recall, the consensus is that they do need, per their mission, to hoard some degree of zero days, but that they should not hoard so tightly. If this understanding is wrong, I apologize.

Don't be so negative. They do the same things in Boy Scouts now for the same reasons. The net result is a safer environment for leadership and children alike.
What's ironic about it? The only real sources of income most sites now have are either ads, donations or subscriptions. Ads are often intrusive and usually make the site much heavier to load, donations don't usually work very well, and people are loath to pay for subscriptions either

Speaking of latency and Lord of The Rings Online, I loved their support for players to play as a band with different instruments, with player supplied scores. By collecting the scores from everyone first the music is merged server-side and is played in sync.
A lot of feminists think this denies networking opportunities for women.
Brave is crazy; go with Flattr instead. They both want to distribute monthly subscriptions from users to content creators. Flattr pays in real money and is easier for users because they can use credit cards instead of virtual tokens and hard-to-fill-up crypto wallets. Flattr works with creators on YouTube, GitHub, Vimeo, etc, etc. but Brave only works on the domain-level; meaning only Google can benefit from YouTube with Brave whereas individual creators get the money with Flattr.

Do you extend the same principles to homosexual men? Are homosexual women exempted?

I find it easier to not have to consider the sexual preferences of my coworkers when I'm interacting with them.

Edit: I should add, if someone is going to attack my character, they're going to do it regardless of what I do. I'm not going to go out of my way to prevent that.

Similar to using encryption everywhere you can: it makes the use of it non-suspicious. The last thing I want is for being alone with a coworker to be implicitly suspicious because the new norm is this sillyness.
Ask HN: How to hire if you don't believe in working for someone
I have this cognitive dissonance. We're running a self-funded startup (not profitable, burning money, I'm paying) with 3-4 fulltime remote engineers and are looking to hire more.

I feel like most people working for us are just there for the money - which is absolutely understandable, because I would be exactly the same. With most people I interview I feel like they're either unqualified, total scammers who are unable to write code, but can speak well, or good engineers whose approach is "Fuck you, pay me". And I get it. I do. I wouldn't want to work for anyone and I remember how I hated it. Now I'm doing the same to other people and it depresses me.

I would quit this whole thing and would just retire writing code myself and working on small projects - if not for my co-founder who pushes me to deliver. He means well and he's doing a good job himself, but as he's not technical, he doesn't realize the level of stress and complications I'm dealing with. Most days it's just stress and I'm not happy.

Advice?

I understand the benefits of Immutable pattern, but it'll be nice if datasettle could provide interface with single non-frequent writer(for example, most FRED data is updated seasonally, some of them updates daily) so the pipeline pulling data from some source could be automated
Who is it that 'must' be having this 'legitimate' concern? Even in the poll and wikipedia page you cited, the primary driver for the concern is sexist beliefs of a religious nature, not some response to recent high-profile accusations of misconduct.
It's sad Nexus got replaced by Pixel, which is extremely expensive in comparison.

I liked running LineageOS or CopperheadOS on an inexpensive device with good updates.

That said, some cheap devices which are well supported on LineageOS have decent updates.

I'm assuming that 'diet' refers to implementing a calorie restriction into their diet. In which case it obviously does work, but people not doing it is the issue.

I actually believe education in nutrition and specifically weight manipulation would help a lot. From my experience in talking with others, the average person's views on these topics is almost in the realm of magic due to being bombarded with false information from media and product companies.

With a solid understanding in these topics, one can implement changes into their diet and very easily assess why they are or aren't making progress towards their goals.
As it stands the average weight loss attempt with the understanding of weight loss as some form of black magic tends to result in temporary success or outright failure, with no way of being able to assess why or what to do about it. It is then usually concluded that one's 'genetics' are at fault.
What do you mean "believe?" At Uber, HR covered up bad behavior. At my last company the HR rep quit due to discrimination.
well that brought on a surge of nostalgia.
I've seen OpenMP-based, non-BLAS implementations beat out MKL, on Intel hardware nonetheless. We emailed the MKL folks and they just shrugged. :) Don't presume that MKL is the lower limit on performance.
many others will make a fear-driven overreaction.

This. The actual risk involved here (job loss due to fraudulent accusations) must be so tiny as to be negligible.
Is OnePlus good at updates?

With CopperheadOS going non-free, but still open, and Pixel getting an order of magnitude more expensive than Nexus I'm looking for alternatives to run LineageOS.

The writing has been on the wall for a long time in Australia but vested interests and the status quo means no meaningful change is actually going to happen.

Take Australia National Broadband Network (NBN) strategy as an example. Connecting every house and business to a fibre optic line would have "future-proofed" the nation for generations. Instead it was destroyed by the conservative government, along with investments in renewable energy, a resources super tax and a range of other progressive ideas.

This country is run by dinosaurs. While there are intellectuals, theres also a proud culture of ignorance and weird working class arrogance. Instead of having pride in working class jobs and pride in working class people who put food on their families tables and support their community it seems theres been a concerted effort to warp it into and "us vs them" attitude of "true blue" working class Australians against white collar "know it alls". This is plain to see when the current Prime Minister and former investment banker goes into rural towns wearing his untarnished Akubra and adopts his fake working class accent to stoke tension between rural and city people.

Australia often has bushfires every 7 years or so that have historically cleared out a lot of dead wood and given the bushland an opportunity to breath and grow again. New policies to prevent bushfires meant woodlands accumulated fuel which led to cataclysmic-ally large bushfires like black saturday, ash wednesday etc.

Its hard not to think that Australias approach towards governance is similiar and that the only way for us to re-set the agenda is through a huge depression.
It depends on the exec. Most that I know like rough, raw feedback.
As a long time Nexus user (back to Nexus S), the clean OS and updates were always the selling points for me.

With Pixel now dropping the headphone jack, I'm starting to look elsewhere. Here's hoping I get some more life yet out of my 5X.
The support library helps a lot, but will never be a complete fix either. Support for KitKat, for example, is beginning to wither, while appcompat had kept it alive for years.
Yeah imo I could be wrong but this was the intent of America's forefathers.

"I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical." TJ

1. our country was created and formed by dissidents and rebels. Rebellion is really ingrained into our culture. If you look at our history in business, arts, and even technology; you can see that it is really pervassive and our non-obvious main competitive advantage

2. Democratic republics allow our society to have bloodless revolutions by voting out leaders we don't like. It happens so often that these bloodless revolutions become the norm and its effects go beyond just politicians

3. Obvious to some but not to everyone, since not everyone on HN lives in a democracy, but freedom of speech allows us to say and write whatever is on our minds - also giving us a Free Press, which makes bloodless rebellions more likely (and violent overthrows much less likely)

Combine the above ingredients and you get constant, non-destructive revolutions. Add a ubiquitous and currently open & free platform called the Internet and you get the current state of things.

When you think about it, it's a win / win for everyone, because even if you are one of the people getting overthrown; you're not going to get killed unlike in other countries

Wow, lots of impressive thinking ahead of time. I’m heading up our incident management team at work and this is definitely going in my presentations.

A few things that jumped out:

- Thinking ahead to how he was going to handle an MCA probably saved dozens if not hundreds, even if he made some choices that he shouldn’t have if you’re sitting in our present armchairs.

- This is great demonstration of why the incident commander needs good oversight of the whole situation, and why not everyone makes a good incident commander. The three doctors in Station 1 should have felt empowered to solve the bottlenecks, but they did not... they just kept working within established procedure. That’s ok. You need good operators. But the good leaders in incidents are the people who know how and when to establish and communicate new standard procedures.

- Getting ahead of and staying ahead of a cascade failure is a difficult thing to manage, one that we don’t often accomplish in operations/sre incidents. I know I’ve had one or two incidents like that, mostly DDoS or other attack types. This story shows the value again of staying frosty and planning to handle your next problem before it snowballs and hits you from behind.
The flipside of this is that developers are forced to support versions of their apps that are compatible with previous operating systems. That's bad for developers, but good for consumers.

iPhones shove updates down your throat as a user. They're so persistent that inevitably most people will accept the new update - and even if you're stubborn like me, eventually your apps will no longer be supported under the newer OS's, and you are forced to update to keep using them. The problem is that the OS upgrades invariably slow down older phones, so even if you're perfectly happy with your iPhone to begin with, it starts to act slow as it gets the newer OS's. It's good that Android users can at least avoid this particular kind of planned obsolescence
Oh, give me a break, the decision to fire someone is not decided by a court of law and never was in the history of the universe. These stories broken by journalists in the last couple months are have investigations that are 10x more thorough than any HR department would ever conduct.

Conducting an investigation and reporting on factual information is not "lynching." Suggesting it is is a gross assult on freedom itself.

I still remember a recent interview I had with a team at Amazon.

That team had accomplished NOTHING (and I mean NOTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE) in past 3 years, went through re-orgs and new managers, high attrition, nothing to show for.

Here I am with successful products, published code and a track record of delivering. I have the skills to help them out.

What happens? I get rejected because I didn't remember how to use a comparator in merging k sorted arrays and write that perfect code on a whiteboard.

WTF??!! Did hiring rote memorizers really help that team in Amazon? Why do they not have something productive in 3 years despite having hired experts at tree traversals?
Serfdom was completely ended in England 200 years before the Industrial Revolution, and while slaves were still present in England, they were never a significant part of the labor pool. What other conditions had to be met, or is it simply a matter of waiting two centuries after eliminating slaves/serfs from the labor pool?
>At Uber, HR covered up bad behavior.

If that's true, which it may well be in that case, I'd say that Uber is an exception to the rule and the HR department was simply run in a (frankly) idiotic and irrational manner.

HR departments are intended to protect the company from liability. Generally speaking, they do that by taking standardized actions regarding harassment claims because otherwise they open the company up to lawsuits and negative PR. (see Uber)

Most company HR departments take harassment VERY seriously for this reason, especially if the harassment was written in black and white, such as Susan Fowler claims her harassment was.
