I can confirm that the option is there. I'm at a big 4 tech company and recently transitioned to remote.

If it is a deal-breaker and you are senior or otherwise considered a key team member they can't let leave, going remote can sometimes work out.
Anecdote. I can't drive for medical reasons. I lived in an area where the walk to a grocery store was difficult. No public transit either. Seven miles round trip. It was doable, but the store didn't have the best selection.

This was several years ago, and grocery deliveries to my area. Carried a 50 to 60$ delivery surcharge. There are a growing number of food deserts. Delivery of take-out meals isn't that big to me. But delivery of good quality food, that's a bigger deal.

Vitamin D2 is always vegan. Vegan D3 extracted from lichens ( https://www.gardenoflife.com/content/hot-ingredient-first-ve... ) is available now on Amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Formulated-Vitamin-Supplement-... )
There are a lot of use cases (for example security) where it is not the case.
> What happens if the person doesn't show and you are late to work?

Likely the same thing that happens today when public transit is delayed or your car breaks down. I.e. It's your personal responsibility. Reliability of the specific mode of transit should be taken into consideration.
Think about this really carefully. Smart contracts can pay out coins but not money.

If every year your coin splits so now you have 2 coins then 4 etc no money was added. I can have 10^1000 in a database, but that's not new value.
CNN is in its MTV transition phase. Remember when MTV played videos? We'll be saying: Remember when CNN did news? I don't blame CNN; the issue is their funding doesn't allow for complete independence. They need to shift programming to keep ad dollars coming in and they're looking for their "The Real World".

I've followed Bourdain through his many network changes, but his latest shows on CNN aren't the same. CNN is still relatively dry. Not for want of trying though... witness the number of times their newscasters shouted "shithole" with glee recently. :)

Personally, Neistat is not appealing to me, but he had an existing audience that I guess CNN execs were willing to give it a shot. That to me is desperation, not execution.
Waze and Wazer? As in rhymes with laze and laser. It reads a bit like wazzer as in 'one who is known for urinating', I suppose?

To my British eyes I can't help but read 'wazzock', as in a 1980's schoolboy insult par excellence[0]. To rescue this comment with a semblance of an arguement, what I'm trying to say is that maybe it's best to try the name in a few languages/dialects before you go with it.

If you lost the 6k coins that they distributed for free back in 2014, you lost way more than $1.
QupZilla (to be renamed Falkon in the next major version) is an option I like. Overall it is very Firefox-like, but it is a Qt app using Qt WebEngine, which is Chromium integrated into Qt. (I've only used it on Linux and briefly on Mac, but there is a Windows build too.)
Which means that Analemma_ overstated the point slightly.

But the actual point wasn't whether anybody had that right. The actual point was, Assange does not have that right. He is in self-imposed exile to avoid arrest. The consequences of that are the consequences of his own choices.

How you feel about the situation is kind of a litmus test. Either you see Assange as running from a rape charge (and running from it so determinedly that it indicates a high likelihood of guilt), or you see him as running from a determined effort to persecute him by stooges of the evil US government. Whichever one you believe determines how you feel about his inability to leave and get health care. Either you see it as "you made your bed, now lie in it", or you see it as one more aspect of The Man hounding him.
It's the Ben Franklin Poor Richard's Almanac thing: "Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."

He was also the buttmunch that gave us daylight savings time.

Passive protesting is not enough. I know it will never happen, but hypothetically, I would love to see a DDOS app that lets consumers pick their most hated companies and contribute their bandwidth toward an application-layer DDOS attack tailored specifically against the chosen company target. Like LOIC but mainstream, with the DDOS marketed as falling under free speech.
Isn’t there one in America also ? Is the market significantly smaller in America ?
They really should have just named it `queueStateChangeRequest` instead of `setState`, since it does the former and not the latter.
Thanks, yea I've realized that there is little incentive to share this out, upvote, etc. I think Smart Contracts are a great way to test out some of these game theory scenarios though :)
So, we're back to what, the mid 1990s? Before anyone had a phone that stored any information at all? They should be grateful for the few decades of easy work. Now it's back to being real detectives.
Perhaps "morning person" is the default because many people have families and children and whether or not they operate best in the morning or evening, they are forced to operate in the morning because that's when school time is scheduled (the children are at school) and the children are home in the evening (default family time). I'm wishing that someday we can get to more flexible schooling hours. I think if we want to change the "morning default position" then we need to address schooling defaults.
This is great, but I'd love to see a post on selling a side business (no outside investment) and less than $10,000 a month in MRR.
>If you write sync code and later you need it to be async, then you're in for a full rewrite

If you just want it not to block using the page then you can just chain the sync code into a bunch of async callbacks. For actually parallelizing tasks that weren't before, it can be harder, but in my experience still not a full rewrite. It is much harder for larger applications in other contexts like the migration of Firefox to Quantum, though, yes.
Waze carpool launched ~2Y ago in Israel. I've been a registered driver/passenger for about a year now. Here's my summary:

- I don't like the fact it's a separate app rather than part of waze.
- Apparently matching rides is technically non-trivial. I was hit with so many false positives I could not cope and had to deregister (as a driver).
- Car sharing is culturally challenging, even in Israel. I guess more so in the US.
- This will no work.
What makes you think his lack of interest has anything to do with Google? He might have more interesting opportunities to pursue.

I don't want to work at Google simply because I don't want to work that hard.
One doesn't need to speculate about who is leaving.

It is very easy to tell exactly who leaves google. It has a list available to any employee which is auto-updated and often includes any farewell message the leaving person sent.
>Google is absolutely not responsible for the rapes and muggings perpetrated by users of Adwords or Waze.

If you or a family member used Waze Carpool, and got raped or murdered, are you going to sit there quietly and say "oh well, not Google's fault"?

As a engineer providing a software solution, it's great to sit in an office desk and say "there are precise legal limits", it's exact, precise, formal, and correct. Like a math problem almost. This is the exact line.

But imagine if you used somebody else's service, and you got raped. Or your family member got raped. Are you really going to not sue and let the newspapers know what happened? It's not just 1's and 0s anymore, it becomes a moral/emotional issue.
Don't forget to put in a sign "I didn't kill these companies." ;)
We are not. I consistently choose phone support because it is nearly always superior.
...What do IPOs have to do with parent argument?

Yes, Apple is not receiving any money if there is a share transaction between two investors (duh?). However, providing capital to public companies or does not only occur in IPOs (edit: even if we restrict that with the clause: in an "equities market").

You're right, I could have provided a counter argument. However, at the same time, you should not make such an absurd, unqualified assertion that other people who lack knowledge and are reading these forums may read and assume to be true.
Your personal pages don't need millions of dollars just to survive like Mozilla does
Well said. I credit that you've elevated this discussion out of the reductionism it has been started with.

That said, I think if we are to approach the question of the FBI analytically/intellectually we might want to start by asking a few questions.

1. How should we measure the efficacy of the FBI? - Net lives saved / dollar spent? Is it a conflict of interest if we let the FBI self-report lives saved?

2. How do we account for the risks of the agency "going rogue" and not following the rule of law? For example, how can we quantify the risk to civil rights caused by the FBI-King suicide letter [1]?

3. When the FBI presents an argument that encryption is a problem, how can we measure whether it's a trade-off we [the people] want to make [safety vs privacy] unless we're presented with a proposal that articulates what credible threats may be prevented (how many lives saved, program cost)?

4. If the majority of citizens do not consider want to forgo their privacy for additional safety, should the FBI be beholden to respect the will of The People who hire it (via taxes)?

So is bitcoin. Except that it doesn't have storage costs. Buy 1 bitcoin today, and you will retain it in perpetuity, in its exact same quantity.
Some cryptocurrencies generate the equivalent of "dividends", especially those based on Proof of Stake systems. For example, holding Neo generates Gas equivalent to a 3-6% annual return[0], and Stellar (given free to HN readers a few years back[1]) has "inflation" equivalent to around 1% annual return[2], to name two that Robinhood will be listing.

> Yeah I've been at Google a decade and I strongly don't agree with the notion that it's hyper evangelized as the best place to work

This is my experience too. I've only been here for a year but what surprised me was how negative non-official internal communications about the company seem to be..

Note I don't necessarily disagree with their points but the lack of civility.
If silicon valley can just nerd a little harder and make it happen, then surely the FBI can just try a little harder and eliminate all crime, and then the problem goes away.
Ah, I didn't know they made money off that part of it. I suppose you give up some privacy/data when they resell your order, similar to using Facebook or Google. It's a slick business model, I didn't even realize it.
I understand what you're saying but I have a hard time believing you eat the same thing every day without getting bored.
This article makes a huge assumption that the "social media bosses" don't have fake or anonymous accounts. I can't imagine that they don't.
I'm going off of the tickets linked in the footer of the article, which seem to show they're being resolved.
But it's 14 degrees out there.
So, they are not part of the web or are they? A lot of pages on the web work by providing porn. Is porn the business model of the web? This is just ridiculous.

There are many projects that need money to survive and don't sell their users.

Mozillas need for money does not excuse in the slightest their choices, or is machiavellianism all the sudden accepted?

I mean, your comment says that if you need millions to sustain your sites you are free to act shadey. Sorry, but no, that wouldn't make it okay. In the case of Mozilla it would just show their hypocritical inconsistency.
Cultural homogeneity and qualities of values. People will not like hearing it until the day that someone could say "I told you so" once it is way too late, but here it is.

You will be able to trace the decline in Germany in particular as a kind of longitudinal study of what has long and thoroughly been established by science as the inherent conflict that comes from "diversity". You will be able to clearly track as the German culture and characteristics that made it "better than the rest of developed nations" decline as it is polluted with values and people that aren't just individually of objectively less advantageous quality, but the pollution aspect itself compounds those effects.

Essentially all research into the matter clearly shows that increased "diversity", combination of components of various incompatible and contradictory characteristics, means a fracturing and decline of social cohesion and focused interests in terms of human relations. It will be no exception with Germany, just the same way that you can trace how Poland and other eastern European countries that have not committed to cultural self-genocide and ethnic self-harm will not develop all the very problems that are already emerging and will only increase. This is not even a matter of just a European thing, it's a universal reality of human nature, when you combine substances, especially certain ones that trigger certain reactions, you will get those very predictable reactions; regardless of whether it's "diversification" of different people anywhere on the whole planet, just like if I force you to take in and support the livelihood of a drug addict, you will have some violent reaction to that. It's not really rocket science, yet for some reason the idiom, can't see the forest for all the trees, aptly and thoroughly applies.

Just like oil and water in and of themselves have certain desirable characteristics and are useful in and of themselves for different purposes, when you combine them you don't just pollute the water with oil and therefore make it useless, most, if not all people totally miss that in such a case you have thereby also polluted the oil with water and have made both substances unusable for their respective purposes. Additionally, the pollution aspect as also thereby accrued massive costs ... through a simple act of foolishness ... of separating and making the substances again valuable and of desirable and advantageous quality again that can be used for any number of relevant applications.
You think stocks are not speculative?
Yup, and think of the caliber of car and driver that would appeal to.

> ... while before all this, he at least had a fairly believable aura of indiscriminating antiauthoritarianism.

He had a claim of indiscriminate antiauthoritarianism. I never really believed it, though - he always seemed to be releasing information that was targeted at specific axes he wanted to grind. (It's possible that he was just releasing what he got, indiscriminately, but I never got that impression.)
I'll never understand the anti-remote-work stubbornness, especially in obvious cases like that. The VP really expects talent to commute from Pleasanton, daily, when they could just work for any other of the Bay Area tech firms remotely, at an equal salary and similar benefits?
We no longer have access to RECAP data due to FLP's actions. Neither do other public access sites. One just sold itself. Another is about to shut down.
You delete it. It's still a database. What's being done here is just smart partition management as an extension to Postgres, similar to CitusDB.

You can also use any column-oriented relational database with a time-based partition key and do the same thing.
After you enter your location, click the hamburger menu button in the top right corner of the map. It gives the ETA time to the second, the duration, and the angle from north.

Now if only there was an app that let you set a weather dependent alarm so I don't wake up at 3 am to a cloudy sky.
Yeah, 8PM to 2AM is tricky for the same reason as international teams since you might have zero face-to-face overlap with someone doing 10AM-6PM, but I've worked at three different places that were all fine with a less extreme version of that (noon-to-8, for instance, seems pretty common, or even 3-11PM for the occasional outlier).

Ask around, look around, and discuss stuff like this before signing the offer if it's important to you. It's definitely not impossible. :) Barring a union or such, things like this will only change one job at a time.
How to protect your company from a cyberattack
> Recent developments, like Facebook's decision to let its users determine what is and isn't factual (what is essentially Beme's advertised product), will lead to sanctioned groupthink.

It doesn't really matter. Groupthink is already "sanctioned" by the group. If something gets flagged as "non-factual" it will just embolden all the supporters of that thing.
Unsure for netflix, but when I was on the job hunt, Stack Overflow Jobboard (or whatever it's called now) was a great place to find remote / contract work.
Yeah but driving traffic to a blog teaches the basics and core ideas. What is seo, what is ppc, what is good copywriting, how to find a niche, pick an audience, learn analytics etc. Won't teach you everything, but its how I got started.
It seems like the discussion would need to be... what information that law enforcement wants to have classified as "limited" which the public finds acceptable to definitely be hackable by third parties who will inevitably figure out how to bypass the encryption. Even if it's just a corrupt FBI agent selling the key on the black market, all it takes is one time.

There might be some subset of things that fit this. Maybe a call record? But would the public be cool with the Russian Mafia definitely being able to get their GPS location and text message contents? Saved passwords? All your emails from the last decade? That's how I see the tradeoff and risk. There is little that the FBI would be interested in that criminals wouldn't be able to make a buck off of.
>Your electronic documents have to be in your home or in your direct control to be protected.

Which is funny, because paper correspondance does not have to be in your home or in your direct control to be protected.

I'm guessing OP doesn't mean 'presumed valid' but 'preferred in decisions' despite previous practice and ostensibly minority position..
Violent crime, gun crime, murder rates.

What other kinds of crime are there, and how would you measure how much of it there is?

no. real world use explains why it has value not why this value should increase in expectation relative to general level of inflation.
The reason people aren't reacting is because they don't believe the bluster, not because they're resigned to a slow death in an inevitable nuclear winter.

If the US military seriously thought the North Koreans were about to nuke an ally, it'd pre-empt that with conventional and/or nuclear means. And if POTUS were serious about nuking another country, I don't think he'd last long in office, let alone manage to carry out the act.

I'd be happy to bet as much money as I can muster as an indication of my confidence in our continued existence. Any takers? :P

That's a bad line of thinking. Privacy doesn't work this way: there are a lot of things that you do every day and keep private even though they cannot easily be exploited. It's human nature.

Get a free yoursite.wordpress.com blog, write about something you enjoy, start posting links and content in forums/social media/etc. Install analytics and poke around. All the articles/etc are good starting grounds, but you just have to build something, mess around, and break it a couple times.
I think Robinhood does a great job of giving young traders the experience and knowledge of what actual trading is like before they're managing really meaningful amounts of money. College kids trading $500 on Robinhood are going to become 30 year olds who have a much better sense of how markets work and how emotion affects their own trading than college kids who are just instructed to give all their savings to mutual funds. I think RH has a niche and potential to really change things provided they don't do too much to incentivize dangerous behavior (like the deleted tweet).
FT-8 is the current "state of the art" in long range QRP[1].

Sadly it's pretty much only for exchanging a signal report + callsign for contesting. You get 75 bits per 15 seconds.

The other tricky part is solar conditions change so different bands don't work during the day/night and local RF pollution can make it really difficult to receive anything in a dense metro area.

If there's that much internal criticism of mistakes, how are the mistakes made? I.e. multiple chat apps, terrible hardware design decisions (wtf Pixel buds?), etc?
A widespread public backdoor that affects all devices so law enforcement and anyone with the backdoor key can get in? Yeah, they are all over the place. I suspect a lot of stuff the NSA pumps out already has excellent backdoors. I think the only real way a government could encourage its citizenry to use CLEARNET (unencrypted comms) for everything would be to offer some sort of benefits if everything you did was easily observable by law enforcement. Again, the backdoor idea is flaunting arrogance in the face of the Right to Privacy and Unreasonable Search and Seizure, and I think the Senators have a lot of emotional issues to work through before they start commanding the tech sector to do anything. Nobody supports a backdoor, backdoors in software are not good, end up falling into the wrong hands, and have historically never prevented a single catastrophe -- I'd be happy if law enforcement revealed a time when they cracked encryption to find some sort of juicy plot, but alas, I have yet to read a single instance of the sort. If you add a backdoor to our software systems, you're effectively adding a spy camera into every device that uses that chip, and you are not in control of who has the key, despite your best efforts. "Don't worry, only I know the combination to my suitcase, it's quite alright if it exchanges 70000 hands" ... said nobody ever. Law Enforcement and Legislation need to target this realm with a completely different approach, otherwise we leave the back door to the castle completely unguarded and defenseless.
