Is this the "what about white history month" argument? I don't see inclusion programs as discrimination against the majority. Neither does the majority of corporations or the US government.

>Blind interviews have nothing to do with this

Seems like hiring is decided by merit. Any diversity recruiting program seems like it's about outreach to identify underrepresented candidates but the bar is the same once those candidates are interviewed.
> One thing you'll never really get, in my experience, is good spam handling.

Not quite the same calibre, but really, SpamAssassin+RBLs tuned a smidge too high plus a user whitelist is pretty darn good. Scripting something that auto-adds to whitelist based on sent mail would do even better (but is exactly the kind of 'fun' that people don't have to deal with using 3rd party service). I've heard you can do better with dspam.
Why didn't they say "Bigots should be fired?". By inserting race or gender into the statement, you're singling out a group as being the only offenders.
There should be some sort of public phone that people can use, perhaps in booth format. Or maybe some sort of minimal electronic device where text messages can be passed, where you could, in essence, 'page' someone. Hmmm.
Have you spent time in NYC? I get scammed regularly here, it's not a Chinese or American thing. It's possible the rates are higher there in general, but I wouldn't say you "don't get scammed in the streets" in the USA.
Yes, I meant "My assumption is that Google is doing so," not "I would have expected Google to do this thing and they're not," sorry.
That's not always the case, there may be a short term gain, but long term it may hurt sales as people go to different bars with more imports on tap. Here in Nashville there has been an influx of beer halls that serve German and Belgian beers, imo as a backlash to the localization of beers.
I come to HN to avoid pop culture, including celebrities and their obituaries.

If a person is a notable technologist I think it's of interest, but I would ask the community (who is obviously upvoting these celebrity death posts: I'm in the minority here) whether they really think this is important content for HN.

You can’t really insure a scientific career.

Let’s say you work on the design and implementation of a novel scientific instrument for a satellite for over ten years. That’s a job that, relatively, isn’t paid well, but if launched, the instrument will get you papers and recognition.

If the rocket launching your toy blows up, all you can get from an insurance is money, and that’s not something you value that much in life.

Some satellites also have fairly tight launch windows, for example if you want to intercept a comet.
I think the argument is that AMD's implementation is similar in complexity and any sufficiently complex implementation will likely have vulnerabilities, sloppy or not.
Anyone can. You and your preconceived notions are the only barriers.

2. You can enter copy/paste mode in tmux.

I wish Shared Workers had more browser support (currently just Chrome and Firefox). Service Workers are great, but not for long-running processes.

With a Shared Worker, you can have one instance of your app that will actually keep running continually as long as you have a tab open. Then you can treat multiple open tabs as multiple different clients of the Shared Worker. All state and communication with the server can be handled by the Shared Worker, reducing a lot of duplicated effort and cross-tab coordination. It's pretty great... but only in Chrome and Firefox.
I grew up watching Warren Miller movies, but wasn't aware of some of the recent drama the article brings up. It's nice to hear that in that copyright issue he stepped in. I sort of imagined him as the kind of person who would take responsibility like that, and I'm glad that's apparently not too far from reality.
I've done this, more than once, both for ISPs and personally.

I even put together a self-contained single-DVD installer that would install and set everything up securely and solidly. (I don't think I have a copy any longer and if I did it's very out of date)

I still don't recommend doing it. Even for the security-concious. It's just not worth it.
Awesome Guide. Definitely liking the move to tmux!
Why would he alert the public? Why not just deal with it internally? But i can see that this discussion is already getting toxic with the amount of downvotes so whatevs.
Combined with the loss of Bruce Brown recently (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15911673), it feels like a generation's going.

To be frank, though, I thought both had died years ago.
It took close to 70 years after the wright brothers before people en-mass felt safe to fly in an iron cage at 36,000ft. So yes, AI cars "work" but you have to ask yourself if you'd let it pickup your kids. I think the answer is still 'no' for most people.

> Suggested highway following distance is two seconds.

Suggested by tailgaters?

1) A two-second rule is insufficient.

2) You need more time if you can't see around or through the vehicle ahead of you (and various other reasons, like weather, road conditions, being followed by a tailgater, etc.)

California driver handbook:
"""
Most rear end collisions are caused by tailgating. To avoid tailgating, use the “3 second rule”: ...

You should allow for 4 or more seconds or when:...

Following large vehicles that block your view ahead. The extra space allows you to see around the vehicle.
"""
Slightly off topic, but I don't have a lot of sympathy. If you want health care, vote for it or move to a country that has it. If you want a job that provides insurance, acquire the skills you need to get the job.

People need to stop blaming externalities for what is entirely the realm of their own personal sphere of influence.
I assume you also believe leaking the memo was also a disgusting, spiteful act?
Ask HN: Can I ask for more severance pay?
Throwaway, long time HN participant.

Yesterday, without warning, my whole team was laid off. We didn't even get to finish the day or tidy up loose ends, document anything, etc.

After 9 years at a financial company, currently as a Quant, I am being offered only 3 weeks severance pay. When I started we were passing spreadsheets back and forth!

I want to ask for more. How does one go about this?

I received an overnight delivery with standard paperwork and I must sign to get the severance pay.

The timing could not be worse. I am a remote employee and I need to remain a remote employee. I can't relocate. I live in such a remote area that there are no jobs here. My wife and I are undergoing IVF, mortgage payments, my wife is back in school getting an RN degree with 18 months left to go. Starting to feel the stress today.

Any advice?

I'm surprised by how many people think mail is an impossibly hard problem. There some things about mail that are stupid; the core protocols are old and it shows. But, once things are working, you can leave it alone for years (aside from regular software updates) without trouble. I have. I've never not run my own mail servers (and often for several other people/companies/projects, as well) in the past 20 years. I used to consider myself an expert on the topic, but it's required so little of my time/thought in the past several years that I've forgotten most of that expertise.

I think what I'm trying to say is that it's not harder than it used to be (though some problems, like spam and security requirements for safety, have gotten worse in absolute terms). With modern tools and packaging on modern Linux distributions, you can be up and running pretty quickly. My company ships a turn-key solution as part of Virtualmin, but you can build something similar without that in an afternoon or two if you're reasonably Linux-savvy and have some notion of how all the pieces fit together (maybe a couple extra afternoons if you don't know the basics; DKIM and SPF can be tricky, since you also have to know or learn you some DNS).

It's harder than a web server or DNS server, but not something you should flee in terror from. Admittedly, it's gotten cheaper in recent years to outsource it...and with microservice-based architectures, maybe it makes more sense to have some other API than SMTP (though SMTP is very easy to use from every language I've ever worked in). But, there are problems and complexities with outsourcing, as well.

>Most customers vastly overestimate the solution they need. Your goal as a product manager is to build incrementally and constantly challenge the problem definition.

I agree, hence the term "minimum viable product", I have found this term sums up the entire argument we are all having. And I think almost everyone here is saying the same thing with different phrasing.

We all know that if you want a vehicle to move you from point A to Point B, wheels are a good start, no matter the size of the vehicle or the speed required. Making the wheels bigger later to go faster just makes sense from a software perspective.

And after a month on a scooter, the client may realize they don't need anything more than a scooter, and may be grateful we didn't build them a car like they originally asked for.
I've heard that at the MS role that most closely matches the Product Manager role at Amazon/Google/FB is called 'Program Manager'.

Which is strange, because for anyone not working at Microsoft, a Program Manager is someone who manages a programme of (multiple) projects. Which is like an uber-project-manager, rather than a product manager.
Craig from Citus here. From our cursory looks it does look like they could work together, though personally we've not tried it and I'm not aware of users that have (though it's entirely plausible some have already). What you'd have to do is setup timescale on each of your distributed nodes and tables. You'd still talk to Citus as the primary point and it would re-write and push the queries down to the nodes which could then leverage timescale.
After all, there doesn't appear to be much of an anomaly. Satellites are in nominal or near nominal orbit.
I'm missing something here.

Why does Google have an internal list for political discussions and stuff?

Are Google employees allowed to post their stuff on their publicly viewable personal blogs, HN, etc., while at Google?

What happens if someone posts a link on the Google internal lists to their publicly viewable blog entry and requests publicly viewable comments on it? Would they get in trouble?

I would put the above statement at about the same level as

I assume you would agree that the 2nd statement is not appropriate. If so, can you explain why the 1st is acceptable and the 2nd is not?
Warren Miller inspired a lot of skiers. Every time I went to one of the movies while I was growing up, I learned to have a better time on the slopes. In my mind, the thing that made the movies so compelling wasn't pushing the edges of skiing in a badass way, it was pushing the edges of skiing in a fun/silly way.

For example: https://youtu.be/zD5RhNBmc_U

My brother and I used to have spinning competitions down hills. We also used to do slope breakdancing, which is way less cool than it sounds. Anyways, I'm grateful to Warren Miller for inspiring me to be silly on the slopes. I had a better time because of the films that he made.
The problem is (at least in part) the two party system. It really helps fuel the us vs them mentality. It allows people to write off people's opinions with a broad stroke. For example, "Oh, that person is Republican. They must be racist and hate poor people," or "That person is a Democrat, they want everything handed to them and an authoritarian state." Both of these statements clearly do not represent the average person on either side.

Opinions are a spectrum, but we are constantly blasted with the extremist opinions on both sides. Social media has only amplified these issues. Extremists generate many responses from both sides and thus a lot of eyes end up on these opinions. Talk to your neighbor. Regardless of their political affiliation, they're probably a pretty decent human being (obviously there are outliers). Just try to remember the person you're talking to is a human being and their opinion is probably more nuanced than you give them credit for.

Something tells me it wasn't a conservative that originally leaked Damore's memo; I think it was likely a left-wing idealogue who're unable to tolerate alternative perspectives on the subject of diversity.

And let's be completely honest, Damore's memo was mischaracterized in the wider media; at no point did he say that women made worse engineers than men, and at no point were his suggestions regarding improving Google's diversity efforts (which is something he spent time and thought on) even glanced at by his detractors. I'd challenge anyone who thinks I'm misinterpreting the memo to prove me wrong; I would welcome being corrected as right now the coverage of Damore makes me feel like the only sane person in the crazy house.

Well, I don't think everything will be useless. Think it was John Maynard Keynes who said "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." While that quote concerned shorting a bubble, I'd say the principle holds for determining when a bull market will turn, as well.

While I'm 'beating' the S&P by 10% over my puny 3.2 year life, I gained more value from feeling the urge to trade during downturns, but resisting, seeing bad investments fade away (thanks, SolarCity), and effects of global events, such as Brexit and Trump USA. I would recommend trying stocks to people who can afford to do so as a way to really learn what books mean when they say there is an irrational 'fight or flight' instinct that individual investors have, not to mention the herd mentality of institutional investors.

Hope that clarifies things.

I thought it's not possible to paste the same link twice in HN, yet this appears for the 3rd time, as far as my memory permits.
I believe the original text was "If you want to increase diversity at Google fire all the bigoted white men" — this can be read as either all the white men at Google are bigots, or that Google should only fire bigots if they are a white male.

Highlighting race and gender when making such a statement is completely unnecessary, e.g. imagine the outcry if someone had said "If you want to increase diversity at Google fire all the bigoted black women".
Prose is very little indication of success, sadly. Some of it is marketing, but some of it is just hitting a moment in time. Look at Fifty Shades of Grey, the prose is terrible, but a lot of women needed what it was offering them on an emotional level and so it sold a TON of copies. And then once a book hits a certain critical mass people will start to pick it up who aren't the target audience just to see what the hell the buzz is about.
I run an E-mail server with over 250,000 users. I started by following some generic "dovecot+postfix+mysql" tutorial on howtoforge and I'm still using mostly the same setup over 4 years later.

>Then your email doesn't work and you could be missing out on important communications

Pretty much every E-mail server will retry sending your E-mail for a long time (like 2 days is default on postfix). Once your mail server comes back up all of your E-mail you missed during the downtime will come in slowly as messages are retried

>you're scrambling to figure out how the spammers managed to exploit your setup this time

Any tutorial should point you in the right direction restricting open relay on your mail server, just basically requiring authentication to send E-mail outside of your server.

>I started writing an SMTP protocol handler in Haskell

Do you have any link to your progress? Postfix's configuration definitely shows age, but all of the options do important things that you could actually want to change. It seems other MTAs either have just as complicated configuration (to do the same things), or have stunted functionality.

>being secure and resistant to attacks by default

I agree about sensible and more secure defaults in configuration. But the application security of postfix and dovecot are both pretty robust[0][1]. Considering they are 19 and 15 years old, both applications have seen several developer-lifetimes of effort.

>we need more guides like this for us poor souls who do go down this route

I agree, though mediocre howtoforge tutorials seem to have worked fine for this poor soul.

Not quite, they are a ways off from a nominal orbit, and there is still question if Yah-3 will be able to make it to it's correct orbit with fuel to spare. (SES-14 has electric propulsion so it's not much of a worry for them except for lost time).

At best, the Ariane 5 is causing these 2 sats a month of delays, and at worst it could render one of them useless. Just because there weren't any explosions or spectacular looking failures doesn't mean this isn't a big deal.

Edit: my apologies, it seems the article has been updated and Orbital ATK has stated that they are confident that the sat will be able to reach the right orbit. (it previously stated that Orbital ATK had not been able to say either way yet).

Still, loss of comms and an incorrect orbit insertion could prove to be disastrous for many payloads. With ArianeSpace's track record, I have no doubt in my mind that many steps will be taken to prevent this exact failure from ever happening again.
