> The EU commission just took it all for themselves

I've seen the EU in a club in Brussels blowing all the money that they took from Google and the British couple on booze and women.

Joking aside, I'm fascinated by the narrative by HN user on the EU.
I legitimately do not understand why people expose themselves on social media like this! I was 12 or so when i got my first social media, and even back THEN i knew that posting the wrong thing would get be in trouble with my friends, parents, or even school. It blows my mind that full grown adults use such devisive language in a public setting. You have to KNOW that what you are doing is dumb and risky. Not to mention she works in writing, which is a job that's at least partially about YOUR PUBLIC IMAGE, i mean really this is first grade "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all...[ESPECIALLY IF YOUR LIVELYHOOD DEPEND ON YOUR IMAGE]"

Reading the comment by @meri_dian I initially thought "ok she had a non-pc racist friend and supported them. Then by association she was deemed to risky for NYTimes". That by itself is a not "character damning" to her, but you can see how a company would want to distance themselves.

Then i read her actual tweets, where she actually called people slurs. That is not defend-able, and I think she deserves it.
We can discuss what they are doing and also vote with our money.

I'd hate to be kicked out of a shop because I'm reading a book. Or not talking. As you said: maybe it's their right to require socializing, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

Lawn Chair: building a chair from scratch, in stop-motion
My university's amateur radio club had a large collection of QSL cards to go through. Really cool how widespread its use was; but it also shows how far reaching an ubiquitous the internet has become. Most of these were from pre-1970 and came from all over the world.

I got my technician's level license by using the 'Ham Radio Study' android app which does a good job reinforcing the concepts taught in the ARRL manual. The test banks for each level are all publicly posted and have a rotation of about 3 years for each level.

Edit: Meant to type QSL, not QST.
Too late by now I think.
Before you get too excited: This is nothing more than a vague idea at the moment. No specific plans and particularly no budget for it.

I'd be extremely surprised if this becomes a real project.
This is a symptom of managers not understanding the jobs of the people they're managing. I don't know if that kind of management works under any circumstances, but it definitely can't work if people who don't understand programming (and I specifically mean programming, no matter how well they understand the rest of a developer's job) are managing junior developers.
I had the same sensation. Felt like a ponzi tbh. But surprisingly it had two effects (totally unforeseen):

- to avoid obsessing over something shallow I ended up focusing 2x times more on learning and coding, so vanity made me more active in a very significant way

- if it turns into a passive income and I can leverage a bit more, I plan to give regular food money to homeless people. I find the idea of grabbing a few bucks from the cryptowealthy to the poorest fun and worthy. (robinhoodcoin)

- also, when I do PE when reading charts so it's never totally wasted
Depends if the leaders even care what 3 junior devs think.
That is easy to answer: when and if Google puts a big ADVERTISMENT label on top of all of their search results, then they can do whatever they like.

The smart thing to do here is build a Twitter background check app and sell a subscription to the NYTimes.
Christopher Columbus was trying to prove the world was round. Martin Luther wrote Away in a Manger. Constantine invented the doctrine of the Trinity. Mithras was born of a virgin. Paul Revere single-handedly warned the colonies that the British were coming. And now, Pope Gregory inadvertently domesticated rabbits.

It's amazing how many widely-believed modern myths can trace their origin to the assertions of (often) a single author that nobody bothered to fact check. It seems to be more common when there is a religious element, but that's just my anecdotal observation.
In what case does it make sense to benchmark these databases but leave MySQL/MariaDB/Percona out?
Wasn't that was a retweet (the good ole-fashioned retweet, starting with "RT")? It looks like it was a retweet from John Barlow, the founder of the EFF.

And it was definitely sarcastic, in nature. If you remove the loaded language, it's a bit easier to parse, I think: "If a black man was meant to talk to our schoolchildren, God would've made one President. Oh, wait, he did."

Ergo, a black man was, indeed, meant to talk to our schoolchildren.
Flat earther versus actively advocating for the murder of Jewish children is not even in the same ballpark.
The city-to-city variations in Germany are far larger than the city-to-city variations in NL because of the German history and the presence of Poland. So when you are comparing countries you need to go a bit deeper than that.

I know very well paid developers in NL and very poorly paid ones, it is mostly a matter of knowing what you are worth and refusing to charge less than that. You might find 'your spot' taken by a skilled immigrant but that's a relatively small chance.

I'd hate to have to find a developer job in Spain or Portugal judging by the number of people from there that have moved to either NL or DE. Anything East of the German-Polish border is going to pay a lot worse unless you are willing to move to Finland where there are pockets of start-ups with reasonable compensation.

Dutch developers moving abroad to increase their salary is not a trend as far as I can see.
I find it really strange too, for a similar reason. But at least one developer I have a lot of respect for constantly bemoans the lack of a really good development laptop because they like to work at coffee shops. One of the most productive developers I know of, so it's hard to say it can't work.
3Blue1Brown has been recommended on HN before (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw)

But it's so great I think it bears bringing up in case anyone reading this comment has missed it. This channel animates math proofs, shows you the intuition behind fields of math, and constructs subjects in such a way as to make you feel like you could have invented them yourself. You'll still need a good textbook or something to go with the videos, but they cement the understanding in your mind very well and even open the door to more formal proofs.

My favorite video is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaL_Cb42WyY . You'll have to take an additional step to get a complete proof (hint: read and work through the One Sentence Proof), but this is a beautiful piece of mathematics, shown in an understandable manner.
Finally, the moment I've been waiting for, amateur radio on the top of hackernews. :)

It's also worth mentioning we've got a lot of amateur radio satellites in orbit[0], and more coming, including a geosynchronous satellite launching sometime in March (Es'hail 2)[1].

HFT is only one type of algo trading.

You can make money with simple trend following algos that execute perhaps only a few times a week.

To the OP, if you aren't sure about market execution, it makes me think you haven't modeled for slippage. Make sure you do, as that nudges many profitable algos into the red.
> Also, I guess all clicks in those experiences will go through Google’s servers.

That's the main thing I mind.

Really, the UI of webmail clients suck. The point of computing is automatization; there's shit ton of things that could be better integrated with each other in search, e-mail, calendaring, etc. But for that to be good, you'd have to own that integration. When a third party owns it, you become slave to that third party.
What I get from your post is that in less than 10 years, people that get such a short training will be good regardless. Maybe then good programmers will become a commodity: this will surely change a thing or two.

I am philosophically similar, although I generally hire at a 2 to 1 ratio, senior to junior.

I've found that I'm (as in, the boss guy) the most common blockade to ensuring that mentorship is productive and not disruptive. A 2 to 1 hiring ratio is playing the same game you are but on "Easy" instead of "Normal". So :thumbsup: on maintaining a 1 to 1 ratio.

Regarding how this relates to hiring women -- it's not just women. It has been a general diversity boon to teams where I've employed this practice, increasing diversity not just in the "affirmative action" groups (not to diminish the importance of that) but also in programmer background. I've had junior engineers bring insights far outside my sphere simply because they were previously (e.g.) a copywriter.
4 and 2 are in direct opposition. If making it free would not make a dramatic difference then they would not need to dramatically increase capacity.

As to cost, 5bn/yr for significant increases in air quality and lower personal costs as people drive less is necessarily a bad deal. Much like how public healthcare is nominally expensive, but if tax is less than insurance costs that's a net savings not a cost.

PS: Some of that 5bn/yr also goes to collecting fairs. Avoid that effort and you would see significant reductions in operating expenses.
A friend of mine did this and had the algorithm output the trades and then he made them manually. If it trades too quickly for that to work, trading costs will likely be an issue for you anyway.

Remember hindsight bias, and as others have said, don't invest more than you can lose.
HFT is a subset of algorithmic trading, but algorithmic trading isn't all HFT.

For an example, a value based investment strategy can be implemented as an algorithm.
Right, if we force ourselves to be declared enemies of anyone who does not share our world view, then nobody will grow, and people will just get more entrenched in their bubbles.

This reminds me of a podcast, incidentally "The Daily" produced by NYTimes, where a former white nationalist tells a quite fascinating story about how he completely changed his mind about the white nationalist movement after being regularly invited to dinners by his Jewish friend whom he met in college.

I believe it's important to put racism and hate in their contexts. Often times people are racist or discriminatory because they fear, either for their own way of life being eroded or because they don't understand the "other".

This does not mean those attitudes are good. Far from it. But we must try to empathize with all people. Which is much easier to do when, as MLK advocated, we love all people.
Shadow banned by fingerprint?
My old account "get" is shadow banned. I have no idea why. So I tried to make a new one "GetMeAway". I used a new IP and deleted cookies. Yet the new one was immediately shadowbanned too. Does HN use fingerprinting for this? Writing this via a proxy and a VM.
One pragmatic response is to avoid roles that feed into the stereotype.

You make a good point, and I agree with the pragmatism of the choice, but I also believe mentorship can be a means of advancement.

The point of my original comment was to advocate for another choice - one that will both advance the mentor and their proteges. Hopefully, this will give us that better world we're looking for.
A friend once wrote on Reddit:

> High standards for workmanship and worker safety are luxuries, but even some people who have the benefit of access to good training and safe workplaces don't take advantage of them. You shouldn't be ashamed of striving for the highest quality work you can do — instead, be thankful that you know what to strive for, and pass on your craftsmanship to anyone who is willing to learn.

Aren't there lots of interactions that people can have with each other besides discussing topics such as race, or nation, (or gender, or sexuality)? Why are people so willing to define themselves by their stance on any of these particular topics, to the point of being openly hostile to people with other positions on any of those subjects?
They were never the good guys. Apple is not the bad guys. They are both huge corporations with tons of people with varying motivations and goals. You were and are creating a narrative about intentions that probably does not exist.
What a load of b.s. Since she engages with communities known for hateful actions she must also be a hateful person and agree with all their thoughts? If you have to dig all the way back to 2013 to find someone using the word "fag" then that's not too bad. Nobody's perfect. Do we not allow for people's attitudes to change over time, or is using the word "fag" once enough to brand you a homophobe for life? Most gay men have used the word before. Or maybe, just maybe, we need to examine the context in which a word is used.

There's an old story about a dude named Jesus that hung out with the deplorables of his time, and it got him killed. Whether or not you believe it actually happened it's got a good moral, and that is: The people in power don't like the people who actually engage with the enemy, you might find that they are people too, or you might actually persuade them to fix their evil ways and then you can't hate them any more. They would rather sit in their ivory towers and do nothing. When someone actually talks with people to try and understand their mindset it makes those ivory tower dwellers look bad for not actually doing anything.
Half of that seems like poor planning on your part. Can you refill your metrocard online? I can do this for public transport in Atlanta and I have done it a couple times when I visited Europe. In both cases I was able to set it up well in advance.
The leaders will care a great deal if the three devs are well trained and capable.
> The moat is the one between communications and applications. Communications say things, and applications interact with things. There are crossover areas, but something like email is designed and overwhelmingly used to say things, while websites and apps are overwhelmingly designed and used to interact with things.

I agree with the distinction, but I believe that websites & email belong on the same side of the moat. Websites are meant to say things and applications are meant to interact with things.

Friendship can’t be an unqualified endorsement of another person.

I have an anarchist friend. Do I call for the end of government?

I have a Muslim friend. Does that mean I abide by Sharia?

Of course not. If I must agree with every view a person holds in order to be friends with them, I shall sooner or later find I have but one friend - myself.
Indeed. There are also right ways to setup anycasting and wrong ways.

Right way: 1-2 major Tier1 carriers across all of your PoPs with local peering for regional eyeball networks.

Wrong way: Using a different set of transit carriers at each location.

You really don't want that many AS paths to reach your content from a given location (3-4 is more than enough). What you're really going for with BGP anycasting is that your local ISP has a direct route to the closest PoP via exchange peering, or that the Tier1 path drop you off to the "closest" route. Transit carriers do this for a living, and they're usually quite good at figuring out route weighting inside their own network.

Yes, I know Netflix does it differently but they use a lot more smart geo DNS routing than anycasting.

Edit: IMHO it's also better to choose a Tier1 with a moderate sized network that values stability and performance over size. So someone like NTT over say Level3.
> It will have an enormous cost. […] it will still probably cost €500mn/yr for Berlin alone.

That it's costly doesn't mean it ain't worth the price. Universal healthcare is costly.

Also as other commenters note, if it succeeds and lowers air pollution significantly it might save more than it costs in fines and respiratory disease treatment & lost productivity costs.

> Most people driving are not doing it because they cannot afford public transit fares. They are either wanting a more 'luxurious' environment, can't get where they are going easily on public transit, etc. I'm not convinced it would actually induce much demand on the system from car drivers.

Affordance is one thing, convenience is another. I can well afford to buy a ticket, but not having to? Not needing to plan for queuing at the vending machine for an individual ticket, or seeing my bus/train leave because I was a bit short and had to make a stop? Not suffering the hassle of finding my passcard and seeing NFC fail because it's too hot, too cold or Tuesday? Not being caged in/out of the public transport system?

That's invaluable.

Hell, just the latest is my fondest memories of Lyon's metro, not sure about now but 20 years back there were no porticos anywhere, you could walk/run from the station's entrance to the train without having to stop anywhere. Paris's gates were both less friendly and less convenient.

> 3) It may induce a load of demand from non-car drivers, who can now do a load more trips, longer commutes, etc.

Oh no, people without cars being allowed to move around, what horror.

> Most public transit systems are at peak capacity in rush hour.

People who have to take public transports during rush hours won't take it even more, and people who don't have to avoid it regardless of price. Off-peak though…

> In London

The article is about Germany, not London.

> Much better to actually tax the diesel cars properly for the externality cost rather than do some other policy which doesn't directly address the issue.

Car tax doesn't just affect cities with good public transport infrastructure. In fact it mostly affects people not in that situation.
If you want to have no idea what your enemy is doing, then by all means cut all types of communication with them. If you want to be caught unexpected by the actions of your enemy, then by all means pay no attention to them. If you want to be destroyed by your enemy, then by all means ignore and belittle them as there is no faster way to your own destruction.

The most efficient way to understand and predict the actions of your enemy then by befriending and walking among them.

Because for people who define themselves in a certain way and literally watch Fox News from sun-up to sun-down its so core to their identity that you cannot discuss ANYTHING without it being about this stuff. I was told last time (Thanksgiving) that it wasn't fair that there wasn't a White Friday too the day after Thanksgiving. And god forbid we discuss sports, or the news, or the weather (climate change is a lie you see), how to raise kids, etc. There's literally nothing to talk about because of how core to their identity being a "down-trodden" put-upon middle-class white person is.

It's like MLK said in another of his famous oratories, love your enemies and pepper your speech with ironic slurs.
That's exactly how I interpreted it as well. It is unwise to use slurs regardless of intent, because people are sensitive to them and rightly so. But her intent in using them was not to hurt or belittle.
