Because if the Universities truly leave, the publishers are screwed. This is cycle of feudalisation or corporatization, unchecked power created an imbalance, but that imbalance threatens the power holder because their power is only symbiotic, not absolute.

Publishers need Universities to both consume the product and create the product. If they cut them off, it will only force the inevitable.
That is the definition of craft, not of art.

Managed by Q | http://managedbyq.com | NYC | Onsite | Full-time | Engineering Managers, Software Engineers

Managed by Q is the platform for office management. We make it easy to run an office by connecting offices to services, including cleaning, maintenance, office administration, IT, and security. We're looking for engineers and engineering managers who are interested in joining our ~20-person team of curious, empathetic, humble, and driven engineers.

Though we're mostly using Django, Node, and React on top of AWS, we take a generalist approach to hiring. We’re looking for smart people who are problem solvers and passionate about their craft; you don't already have to be an expert in our stack.

I'm an engineer at MBQ, feel free to email me directly at eseidohl@<our domain> if you have any questions!

This is a more insidious problem than any one media property because the very structure of the local news organization -being small and distributed - gives them a unique credibility for most viewers because they assume that their local news team is more closely align with their local beliefs, values, and interests. People do not assume every word from a local news anchor is the exact script for the entire country.

Further, it is one thing for them to use the same script. It is entirely another thing for the script to be "you can't trust any other news outlet because they all report fake news with no research or verification. YOU CAN ONLY TRUST US". I have never seen that message on CNN. You may not like CNN's coverage of Trump, but they do not undermine every other media outlet.

I'm a full stack developer if you understand that as a developer that does Server provision, Backend, Devops, Testing, up to Frontend. I have been working with early startups almost all my work history, doing products for Data Scientist, eCommerce, Finance Analytics, Documentation Management, Human Resource Tools, Social Networks, Gaming Social Platforms, Scrapping, Broad and Niche customized ERP and CRM apps.
It doesn't surprise me too much.

I develop for an organization that serves people of mid-to-lower economic strata. 10% of our users are still on Windows XP.

We get caught up in the tech sector echo chamber and don't realize that upgrade cycles for millions of people is a lot slower than we are used to.

I think that it's not surprising to see what Firefox is reporting. A lot of people go to Firefox seeking something that runs faster or better than what came with their Windows box years ago. Most of the people we serve on low-end computers are Chrome, not IE/Edge.
PathAI | Engineering | Boston, MA | Full-time | VISA, ONSITE | https://pathai.com

PathAI is looking for back-end, front-end, and platform engineers to help lead and expand a platform that is already helping detect cancer faster and more accurately while paving the way toward personalized medicine.

We have a modern stack with a mix of Java and Python, alongside a Vue-powered front-end. Services are containerized, and we do our best to have a great engineering environment alongside our regulatory and compliance efforts. We're a technology company working within healthcare, not a healthcare company trying to leverage technology.

We're making some major decisions around the direction of the platform, so we're especially excited to bring on tech leads, but early- and mid-career developers who have great software engineering chops can find a great home here as well.

Work alongside a diverse set of expert technologists, computational biologists, and computer vision scientists – if you're intellectually curious, it's an amazing environment to be in.

Check out our open positions at https://www.pathai.com/careers/. Or feel free to reach out to me directly – jackson (dot) wilkinson [at] pathai [dot] com.
As a government/defense researcher, there is definitely more money available from industry sponsors. When I go to internal conferences with my bretheren, their salary is paid for, they have interesting problems, and no money or political will to organize basic processes, like a common infrastructure.

Meanwhile, my project, a collaboration with industry, has literally anything we need and more.
Why would you possibly think you'll hear about times governments forced companies to turn these into wiretaps? You won't until you do - but then you'll know it was going on for years.

Yep. If this was a car, they’d have said: “clearly the brake pedal is needed but let’s get rid of the door handle, people only touch that occasionally”.
It would be a measure of ping + cache latency. That's still different than just ping.

And is your point that the tested sites aren't popular in Russia?

>for different popular domains (google, facebook, twitter, gmail, etc)

google.com facebook.com and twitter.com are all in the top 50 sites in Russia[1]. And gmail.com is number 6000 globally[2], so it's unpopular everywhere, not just Russia. Popular sites in Russia tend to be popular elsewhere, and vice versa.

It is also very easy to do this with dnsmasq or powerdns, djbdns, etc.

I'm increasingly beginning to think that every node should be it's own dns so it's cache blacklist can be verified (checksums?) per node instead of per request to the dns provider.
> (or a laptop more than, say, new or used for $750).

To me, the hardware report shows technology is quite stagnant on display resolution and memory. 1366x768 is a resolution from 2002 or thereabouts. 4GB was common in desktop computers in 2005. ~15 years have passed and consumers in the $750 price range are still hamstrung with 1366x768 and 4GB of memory? I would expect better from a $750 phone, let alone a computer.

I think we're actually talking about computers that are very old and have never been upgraded or new computers in the $200 to $400 range.

Overlay journals and the reputation graph as the result of citations. The more reproducible your work is, the higher the reputation should be. Part of getting an undergraduate or masters degree should be in reproducing research.
The majors are really in the business of mass-market utilitarian rental. And they mostly do a competent job of that. To the degree they offer anything outside that framework, they do tend to charge a huge premium if they offer the option at all. (For example, good luck renting a 4WD Jeep.)

I would question the wisdom of someone renting their Tesla out like this but that's their decision.

That is not an accurate summary of what happened. Trump killed any possibility of compromise, insisting on extreme proposals once Congress started to act. Here are the details of what happened back in February on this because it is too long and complicated to summarize here: https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/15/immigration-daca-s...

Who knows what Trump really wants? One day he says generous things about DACA, the next he wants to kill it. I think it depends whether he watched Fox news in the interim. Or spoke to Stephen Miller.

He did the same thing with gun legislation. Says promising things in front of the camera, but then kills anything meaningful after checking in with the NRA and/or Fox news.
The problem is your excuse is used to justify any action all the way down to killing Jews in a gas chamber. "I was just doing as I was told" Sure no one is being gassed here, bit this seems pretty subversive. I have a family to feed too, we all do, but I also chose my line of work so that I'm comfortable saying "No" to the boss (and have had to quit because of this in the past).
Ask HN: Any US banks who are friendly to international founders?

I won't support OSes such as Windows and MacOS until they give me the same core user freedoms that you get with GNU/Linux.
I kind of expect that the "let consumers be the beta testers and fire all our QA" approach is going to majorly bite them in the ass at some point and lose a lot of goodwill.

1bios | Senior Software Engineer | Truckee/Lake Tahoe, CA | FULL-TIME, ONSITE or REMOTE | hello+hn@1bios.co

About 1bios:

We provide a health management platform for healthcare providers and health insurers. Our company is relatively young, and this position would get you in on the ground floor, positioning you to have real impact on our engineering decisions and company culture.

Our stack:

ruby, rails, javascript, typescript, react, mongo, postgres, thrift

What we are looking for:

Do you not only want to see a problem done, but see it done cleanly in a way that makes you proud? Do you appreciate elegance, but despise implicitness and magic? Is code and system design something you like to really think about before tackling a problem? Do you like to discuss architecture with other engineers who care deeply about the quality of their code? Do you wish you were writing in a statically typed functional programming language a la Haskell, but are also satisfied applying those same concepts to more wild west contexts like Ruby and JS? If this resonates with you, please get in touch!

Email us at hello+hn@1bios.co
Here's some context around the provisions of the contracts these anchors frequently work under:

Essentially, if they were to chose to leave, they'd owe 40% of their base pay prorated by the remainder of their contract, as-well as the potential requirement to return some bonuses received. Vacation days are lost, and there are typically non-competes within the same region.
You're right. They publicly resisted. But I have no qualms that they can also just quietly hand over a DVD to a prosecuted and say " here ya go".

In the end, this is their platform of which we are sharecroppers.

From what I've noticed here in Los Angeles, Turo is exploiting the greymarket of wildcat car dealers. There are lots of people here that own 10+ late model economy cars at any one time and there are areas where you'll see 5-6 cars on the street with For Sale signs.

A friend of mine who's car was totaled used Turo for a month or so until she bought the car from the guy.

Semi-related, maybe there are some nicotine experts here that can help me:

I smoked ~4 years light/social post high school. Dipped Copenhagen Pouches for ~10 years. I've tried to quite with some success with the longest streak being 2 years. It is incredibly hard and all in the mind.

I found ZYN pouches last year and they have replaced my needs. It "... is a tobacco leaf-free nicotine product. The nicotine salt used in ZYN is derived from tobacco leaves, but once the salt is extracted, no part of the leaf remains." The rest of it is says its food-grade.

Obviously the best would be not to use anything. But would anyone happen to know if this is still leaving a lot of risk exposure? My thought is its probably about as safe as I'll ever find, and really just giving me the nicotine I've become used to without the bad stuff, as nicotine itself is not what causes problems. But if anyone has more informed opinions that would be helpful.

> There's no really universally applicable way of just going "show me all the code that processes annotation X" to your IDE

Isn't "Find References" literally that? All code that makes use of an annotation at runtime (which is the case for all Spring annotations) needs to refer to the annotation's type at some point.
Is there any metric that doesn't show the Windows Store to be an abysmal failure? Have any Windows Store apps gone viral? Despite the enormous installed user base, there seems to be a definite lack of excitement around Windows apps (other than games) compared to the Android and iOS app stores. And for games, Steam feels like it's more dominant.
Mark Zuckerberg: Tim Cook is “extremely glib”
Google monetized links. They were the ones who showed you could make serious money from tracking and marketing to people on the internet.

Your argument is "Google is more technically competent at doing all these crappy things than Google's imitators", but Google was the trailblazer who proved there was big money in ads and scripts that do more than blink a banner.
I think GLIBC 2.26 added a per-thread cache, so it might no longer be that slow when compared to jemalloc.
Have you been staring ahead mindlessly for the past hour, blocked while waiting for an answer, or did you do something else?

I’m not the one making the “the world is asynchronous” claim, but I think this is what (s)he ment: in the real world, there is no “make a request and wait for an answer, doing nothing at all until you get an answer, even if one never comes”.

That need not be true, though. One could model the human brain as a blackboard with N cores, each running a single process (one for breathing, one for your heart rate, etc), and one of those cores blocking forever on such a question, with a “OOT killer” killing a low priority thread when needed. I wonder how one would go about falsifying such a model…
Inspiration vs. Getting Things Done
Are you kidding? I'd be ecstatic to go purchase a new boxed copy of Windows 11 Pro 2018, so long as it was basically Windows 7 shell with Windows 10 kernel and security updates, no UWP/Cortana/store/telemetry addons, and settings that stay set.

I'd even buy the Windows 12 Pro 2021 version when the time came for fundamental internals shifting like wider WSL access.
Then why does Tesla, on their order page offer this?

>> This doubles the number of active cameras from four to eight, enabling full self-driving in almost all circumstances, at what we believe will be a probability of safety at least twice as good as the average human driver.

They also seemingly purposely make it very vague as to what is actually available when you pay for it today (nothing), what might be available during your lifetime (it will try to kill you) and when it might be actually ready (never)...

"Give someone a ride, let them borrow your car, let them stay over at your house while they're on vacatin, have a one night stand with them. Nobody thinks we need government regulations for this stuff. What is it about commerce that scares us so much?"

The things you described are usually just one off things, that a friend will occasionally do for another friend. Once you commercialize it, then it starts getting abused. Take AirBnB: You now have a lot of buildings becoming unofficial hotels. Not only are they driving out regular, long term tenants, but the people who are there did not sign up to live near a hotel.

If all news is biased, then what Sinclair is doing should be no big deal. They have a message they're pushing, just like everybody else.
