Classic example: IBM vs. Apple

The pre-90s IBM was the epitome of a non-diverse and uniform work-environment. The latter is to be taken quite literally, these were people wearing uniform suits and ties and singing company songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyQEbLx6AEY

Apple on the other hand was the prototypical scrappy startup made up of a ragtag bunch of hippies.
Well, what about adding a new signal (SIGXMEM) with a default action of ignore? If the system is running low on memory it can send this to some or all processes and wait for a little bit to see if things get better.

This is how iOS has handled things since version 2.0:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiapplicatio...
> It is strongly recommended that you implement this method. If your app does not release enough memory during low-memory conditions, the system may terminate it outright.

>I wonder how they would find out if some details are omitted. It is not an easy task to link/resolve people's current online identities let alone past (deleted ones). There is a ton of research centered around this but they are not so effective in practice! I know this because we tried to implement this for a research project on entity resolution.

I suspect - I may well be wrong of course - that they won't actually check anything on most people/visa requests, BUT they will have a signed legal document where you declare something, and when/if for any reason you will become a target and they will actually look at that, if they can find the omission they will treat it as a false statement and use that to negate the Visa or to prevent future entries to the country or worse.
But Google would tell me if they were successful,right?

Also: should I tell my coworkers what happened?
You have not linked to a support page, you have linked to a PDF titled 'Legal Process Guidelines'. (That is definitely NOT a privacy policy.)

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303 would probably be the right support page, however, Apple mentions what is done – and not what is NOT done, in particular end-to-end-encryption of iCloud backups.

I still agree that Apple plays in a different league than Facebook with regard to privacy. At the same time, there is still a lot to do for Apple, especially regarding data security. Just a current example:

For this you would need to store the CO2. For each ton of coal burned you generate about 3 tons of CO2. At atmospheric pressure thats 1500 cubic meters.
A small 200 MW power plant could burn 80 tonnes per hour. Thats 120 000 cubic meters. That is a building 12 m high and 100 m square.

I guess everything is possible given the right subsidies...
It might be a bit controversial here, but language faults aside, I think PHP's model of package management through Composer is better in many ways than NPM, at least in terms of namespacing, and not prefering to define every function as a separate package within its own universe.
That argument works in reverse too. People who avoid Facebook aren't necessarily motivated by privacy.
I’m surely wrong, but I thought I read a thing that iCloud blobs were actually not encrypted so that Apple could deduplicate common files/blocks/whatever.
Tesla likes to market their version of automatic braking as part of Autopilot because it makes the safety of Autopilot look better, but it's a fairly common feature that is available on many models of cars, that the entire industry plans to make standard on all new cars in a few years, and that operates even when Autopilot mode - the controversial feature that drives Teslas into concrete barriers and trucks - is not engaged.

You reminded me of an interview with a woman from India, in the film "Before the Flood". She mentions:

India has 300 million people without electricity, and they're doing exactly what the US and other nations did years ago: focus on improving their quality of life, using inexpensive coal and fuels.

Some people claim to care. There is a difference between words and actions. Privacy isn't something that can be gifted. It is only something that can be given away. If people really did care they wouldn't give it away so freely. The decisions people make determines their actual level of care.
Ask HN: Are you on top of your tech stack?
I have this nagging fear about the tools and technology stack I use in my business.

For example, something that could have been built with just WordPress and a few plugins for a couple $100, your tech partner convinces you to use the flashy new tech stack and a couple months of development time and the expenses related to it. The sad part about software decisions is that once you go down a path, it's hair pulling to change track.

With technology advancing so rapidly and so many options to choose from, How do you guys ensure you are up to speed on if the tech stack you use in your company is relevant and also that you are not overspending in your tech department?

How do you deal with such situations? How do you make decisions? I am curious to know.

Is it a real problem that you all face or am I exaggerating?
>That's not a mistake a healthy human will make.

This statement is meaningless circular logic. You can handwave away any incident with a human driver by saying he wasn't "healthy".

A human pilot has intentionally driven an airplane full of passengers into the ground with full control because he wanted to kill himself. The airline believed he was "healthy".
In what language would you make firstname and lastname or x and y different types?

As someone who is a heavy Firebase user and a huge fan, it reassures me that Google has so much confidence in the Firebase platform. When you think about it, Firebase is just a friendly wrapper around Google Cloud, pretty much every Firebase feature is just UI sugar over Google Cloud Functions, Google Cloud Hosting and so on.

While Google pushes its mobile functionality and features first and foremost, Firebase is an invaluable web platform for both native and web, sans a couple of features like Remote Config.

I think Firebase is one of the best things to happen to my development workflow in a long time, invaluable for things like MVP's, etc.

The man page for fork indicates that it can fail and return ENOMEM just fine. Technically, it's only supposed to be returned in special conditions where the kernel doesn't have enough memory, but this seems like much less of a breakage than going around killing random processes.
I agree with your intention, though isn't it inevitable self driving cars will kill people even if they are 1000x safer than humans?

If a CEO has many millions of cars running his software, their will always be a death.

In that case, nobody would want to take on that responsibility so nobody would build self driving cars.

Therefore humans will still drive cars and there will be 1000x more deaths, most preventable with self driving cars.

This is pretty much exactly the Trolley problem in ethics and philosophy. Read up on it :)
Latency is not the issue, as Thunderbolt 3 is a direct PCIe connection. Only bottleneck might be bandwidth, usually you get 10-20% performance loss with an eGPU but with a 1080Ti that's still plenty of performance.

Always felt Descartes kind of cheated himself with his very categorical denounciation of the body and the animals as mere thoughtless automatons.

Leibniz and Spinoza (the other 2 of the 3 great 16th century rationalists) have more nuanced views, esp Spinoza who in his Ethica said something like: Descartes was a very bright man who non the less fooled himself with the idea of the pineal gland as seat of the soul. Etc
I did try living by my own biological clock and it was a complete disaster. Ruined my life for several years. My natural clock is non-24, but not by much, no more than 25 hours. So if left to my own devices I naturally drift "West" every single day. The only way I can cope is to take strict control of my wake up times and force myself into a 24 hour cycle.

The phase is irrelevant to me. So if I'm going to take control I get up earlier because I find that is more productive for me. I hate every single morning of my life, but if I let my clock do what it wants I hate my entire life.
It has to be an alternative to Facebook, first.

Go 101 – a book focusing on Go syntaxes and semantics
I feel in general people who have this thought process of "it would be cool to start my own company/site" are generally the ones that don't succeed. A business or startup should always come from a thriving problem that you, or someone else has. Or a passion for something you truly care about [if its in a competitive space]. Not having a business model from the get-go is destined for failure

Business needs should always drive the demand for new software innovation, not the other way around. Unless the "WHY" (the core issue) is specified the "HOW" (comp sci knowledge) and "WHAT" (fullstack you will be using) is pretty much pointless.
This is cool I remember trying to build a chrome extension for something like this a while ago for detecting and blocking images of animals people had phobia's for (e.g snake, spider and e.t.c) and I tried using pythons dlib object detector and shape landmarks predictor and it was a very stressful exercise in futility.

And that target's a lot less than $10B; most of the BFR engineering is not about Mars but about a fully-reusable launcher, which is useful for launching anything, not just going to Mars.

Sorry, I read your comment to read that you thought the cost would be much less (as little as their target of $10B), since they had already developed the launch vehicle.

If your point was just that if they can't do it for $10B, they won't, that may be valid but it's not the issue under discussion. We're talking about how likely it is that SpaceX will go to Mars, not whether SpaceX continues as a going concern.
I'm a bit surprised they are planning to continue to support existing short urls indefinitely.

Presumably that will go away at some point. Ain't nothing free.
What is so idiotic is the concept of a natural circadian rhythm that is being claimed out of correlation studies of social cohorts, when there is no fundamental hypothesis to support the idea that young/old people have innately different rhythms.

I agree with you that people do not perform when their rhythms are not in sync with their lives’ demands. However commenters and the article writers are inferring there is some inherent trait that prevents their body clock from adapting.

1) seems to plague NPM a lot more than others.

There's a point beyond which the desire for simplicity creates dangerous abstractions. A developer should expect to put more effort into installing deps than just remembering a package name.

> I don’t understand why it is so impossible for these companies to act humbly and with a sense of dignity around all this.

I would venture a guess this is an outcome of the "sue for everything" legal environment in the US. Any statement that could be construed as anything other than "we did nothing wrong" could be seized on by shareholders suing the company for securities fraud and demanding class action status.
Multiple cookie cutter options + "call us if you want" works pretty well for Salesforce. Pay-for-what-you-use-until-you're-huge is sufficiently profitable for AWS/google cloud/Azure. The frustration expressed here is against the companies that force prospective users to call them, no matter what.
Thanks,at least it is something.

I have nothing of interest. I do nothing interesting ( except they get really excited about people working in IT consulting) which probably would be millions by now...

Overcoming Bad Evidence: Lessons from Waymo V. Uber Trial [pdf]
Well, distribution is fairly centralized [ADDED: in practice through iTunes/Google Play/etc.] and the hosting of the actual podcasts is cheap enough that throwing them on S3 or wherever isn't really a burden for most people. And advertising, when it exists at all, tends to be native advertising.

> The space is endearing - maybe that's why it is so vibrant?

That's true but arguably YouTube at least started out that way as well. I suspect that there are a number of factors; no single one I can think of (except maybe the hosting costs and that seems an unsatisfactory explanation by itself) really captures it.

The problem is that you can't always require people to use the latest bleeding edge version to build your code. Especially the Linux kernel has quite some requirements for backwards compat.

And yes, the fact that abi stability isn't really a thing in c++ land is a huge problem too. It has been tried before with beos and it sucked.
I think at least 50% of the blame should be placed on the maintainer of the road.

I describe myself as the last "old" using RSS because after Google Reader went away, I found Inoreader. It's a clone, with tons more filtering features and (importantly) the ability to follow Twitter feeds and searches as well.

Tesla's huge success in people's mindspace of self-driving vehicles is baffling to me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are the self-driving features in Teslas:

- Cruise control maintains speed, will automatically decelerate if a car in front slows down, speed back up if they speed or go away, etc.

- Collision avoidance: the car will automatically emergency brake if it believes a collision is imminent.

- Lanekeeping: the car will stay in the lane without driver attention, although if it doesn't detect your hands on the wheel with enough frequency, the system will disengage.

- The car can park itself.

A quick look at Wikipedia tells me it can also change lanes and be "summoned."

Most of these features, especially considering cruise control, collision avoidance, and lane-keeping as the core featureset, since at least in 2017, have been in wide deployment among most car manufacturers, down to even cheap economy cars, that people are buying right now without getting on waiting lists or anything of the kind. You can buy a car right now with this core featureset for around ~18k.

Not only that, people seem to dramatically overestimate what kind of auto-pilot Teslas have. Speaking with my doctor about it, he assured me that "you just tell the car where to go, and it goes there." How did Teslas get so hyped up in the common man's imagination?

If you apply this idea, fossil fuels are no longer a source of energy, they are now a way of storing and transporting energy. You could have a bunch of solar panels in Arizona where there is a lot of sun and cheap land and then ship the fuel somewhere else where solar is less efficient.

Actually it doesn't even say that, it says his hands "were not detected." Which means nothing to me.
Interesting. I should probably try one of these typed languages. When I was thinking of types I was thinking about "physical" types like in C, not abstract types.
Simulations are only useful up to a point.

In production you would probably want to minify and micro-optimize anyways, so why pick one of the standard build pipeline tools and get async/await also?

Your last option is spotinst. If you use their serverless service, you get native access to node 8. They load balance across AWS EC2s, GCE, and Azure.

There's lots of different kinds of crime, each very unique in its circumstances. Just try comparing the stats for securities fraud vs. drug possession, for example.

DUI is a tough one, people of all socioeconomic backgrounds like to get drunk, and people of all socioeconomic backgrounds like to drive. Off the cuff, I might guess that the numbers would show DUI to be the most egalitarian crime, actually.
While Windows keeps crashing and is glitchy, laggy, likes to crash and is generally disgusting and mac OS (Hackintosh) is unreliable and with a not very customizable UI, Elementary OS works very well on the Xiaomi Mi Notekook Air 13 (what a name).
