have ZERO problem criticizing anyone. But if we look at all the tech companies there has never been any tech company that give away more IP than Google. Nobody even close.

Google only "gives away" IP that isn't part of their core business - just like Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft. Where is the code for Google crawler and search algorithm? Gmail? Google Play Services? The back end for Google Docs?

They seem much closer to omniwheels, and largely inferior for the mecanum's actual purpose: if you check out youtube videos, mecanum-equipped heavy lifters (e.g. KUKAs on the A380's assembly line) are way more reactive, fast and flexible despite being humongous.
GDPR does a beautiful thing bu limiting your ability to profile people without telling them exactly how you algorythm them and ability to opt out. Perhaps enough people on Facebook will be creeped out when they find out whats under their Faceook hood.
Yes, it is unreasonable. I am a visible minority, and am very offended when that factors in to hiring practices. It matters to me that my acceptance is legitimate and based on merit, and it tarnishes my reputation every day that others who do not meet the same standard are accepted (i.e. meet the threshold) merely due to their skin color.

Aside from that, whoever this "we" is that you're discussing, it does not include myself. You may have unconscious biases to people who are of the same race, etc., that's on you, and people on average may have such inclinations. However, you have cited no references indicating the universality of this phenomenon, nor do you possess any pertinent data on me. It would be more fair and correct to use "I" or "in general, people...".

The fact that you're a racist person is not in dispute here, we both agree. The question is whether you want to apply your prejudices in an affirmative or negative sense. My contention is that I prefer and believe it is ethically superior for hiring and acceptance practices to consciously remove, as much as possible, the influence of prejudice for each candidate.

It's been a long time, but I'm fairly sure it was 110 baud RS232, 7 bit ASCII, all upper case.

I think it was an ASR 33, or at least I recall it looking like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletype_Model_33
Unfortunately I don't have it any more - my parents threw it out a few years after I left home.

Wikipedia certainly implies the ASR 33 used current loop. If I recall correctly, mine had a DB25 connector, which likely indicates RS232, and is probably how I figured out it was RS232 in the first place, as information was hard to come by back then. I do know I used a 24V power supply from a cash machine, using a potential divider to create a +/- 12V signal, which is consistent with the model I had having an RS232 interface. Getting the timing right in software was a lot of trial and error.

Edit: this page indicates that RS232 was available as an option on the ASR-33 teletype: http://bytecollector.com/asr_33.htm
There is unfortunately a small but non-trivial fraction of HN readers who think it’s important to say “I know what other people should not be allowed to read and I will use my privileges to enforce my opinion.” In other contexts those same people would loudly decry others engaging in that practice as evil censors, but they’ve wrapped themselves in a belief that because they are the ones seeking to deny others the right to read something that they are virtuous in their actions.

I'd never call Krav Maga an "art" though .. it's solely about brutal pragmatics.
I know it will sound really anty-semitic but when majority of Nobel prizes is awarded to people with Jewish inheritage or estate supporters it all just looks like a political tool of Israel - and a pretty badly disguised one.
Like its predecessor, the Digital Economy Act 2017 has a huge amount of text that's basically predicated on the relevant Minister pushing the button. And of course this text is a huge mess (which is why it doesn't take effect immediately, the intent is you can come back and fix it before pushing the button) and so in reality nobody pushes the button. Section 23 is one of those parts. The hypothetical regulator doesn't exist, the infrastructure for all this doesn't exist. None of this is actually law.

Go read the "commencement" section - it's actually eye-opening to do this for other laws you've heard are supposed to have drastic effects.
That's naive, there will always be people looking to subvert the system because they want to see the world burn.
Telecommuting as a long-term solution to the housing problem is similar to the vision of autonomous cars solving transportation issues. Those approaches could work in some cases, but overly relies on technology and ignores working examples in big cities, like commuter rail and cheaper/smaller housing in Tokyo.

I have worked remotely for a number of years, and it's not for everyone. I didn't like it until after I got used to the loneliness and would look forward to going to the office. To repeat an observation from another reply, not all jobs can be performed from a remote location.

I used to be a pro-telecommuting as a long term solution. But having experienced telecommuting and also car-optional cities, I've since changed my stance. There is a big difference between online buzz and the buzz of being in the middle of a busy, safe mixed-use neighborhood.
From the article:

>"We should hit pause and be very cautious about introducing this as a way of improving diversity, as it can have the opposite effect," Professor Hiscox said.

To me, this quote succinctly expresses the whole problem behind the push for "diversity" (a term which I have never seen rigorously defined by its exponents) in technology fields. By trying to fix the results with artificial means, they place the cart before the horse. They attempt to fix a painting they perceive to be damaged by doodling over top of it. There appears to be no self-reflection when unintended consequences occur.

They did a study where they attempt to remove all bias, but they got results they didn't like, and so we should "hit pause"? Why should we ever hit pause on removing bias and discrimination from our society?
I have also noticed a particular venom toward aikido in particular from people who train modern martial arts. I think this comes from the high level of arrogance associated with aikidoka (true or not, it is associated). It's frustrating when you encounter someone who does not spar or test themselves in any meaningful way yet is still completely convinced that they can defend themselves against trained or untrained opponents and is willing to share that belief in an arrogant way.
I did use antennapod and compared it to pocketcasts. Antennapod provided chapter support much earlier and for more file formats. But the main feature of PocketCasts is that the server syncs the feeds for you. The app instantly knows if something new arrives, but you download from the normal servers like in antennapod. Overall what antennapod lacked is the dedicated focus on quality which PocketCasts provides. It just always worked. Always. Antennapod crashed for me. Often times. And I am on the PocketCasts beta and nothing is amiss. On antennapod beta should be called an alpha, and even the normal client has its problems. The UI ux is also much worse. U intuitive. A few sprinkles of color would also be great and make it easier to navigate and set everything up. So yeah. Definitely PocketCasts. I would also love to use the desktop/browser version but the paid subscription for it wasn't even worth it for me. My smartphone is enough for that. And also it is a paid app. Support all the devs. Best 5 bucks spend on a podcatcher yet.
He truly loved big brother.

Yeah, I hadn't the bravery to include that, as I didn't want my response to seem so reactionary, but that really is what it is. Really the only difference is that in the book, he is coerced to perform the mental gymnastics through suffering, but if we could just restrain someone and zap them.... That's awful.

I'm glad others agree that this is at least controversial. The political landscape (at least here in America, my own perspective) the idea of offensive is seemingly headed down a path where people will want to bar themselves from experiencing anything offensive.

When you get on the subway and the guy next to you has odor, doesn't it make you appreciate your apartment even more?

Healthy dealings with unhealthy thoughts generally leads to healthy thoughts. Carl Rogers pioneered Humanist Psychology like fifty years ago, and he talked about that. Idk if he used the term self-talk, but that's what we call it now.

I think most neurodivergent people, particularly the criminally oriented ones, they have a dialogue imbalance, not a chemical imbalance. They are having the wrong conversations with themselves.

Anyways, the world is crazy.
The weight of scientific evidence is on the other side. The WHO had to ignore a lot of evidence and cherry pick which studies to use to get that result. In short I would call it scientific fraud that they make this claim.

There is no fast approaching cliff or any such nonsense. Tesla's market cap is $50B. They can release stock and dilute current shareholders if they need to. Talking about whether it is a $4.4B capital outlay or $4.0B capital outlay doesn't matter.

What matters for Tesla is making sure that their core offering doesn't get overshadowed by an established automotive manufacturer before they can scale. What matters for Tesla is that petrol prices don't plummet due to some new unforeseen technology of economic downturn. What matters for Tesla is that their cars wear reliably so they don't tarnish their reputation.
An ad blocker + reader view could very well take care of most slow loading web pages. What are the chances that Google will build an infrastructure that allows third party ad blockers to work with Chrome on Android? Yes I know that you can download other browsers,but embedded web views still use Chrome.
Until the day the general population actually pays for online services(this will never happen), Facebook like enterprises will exist. I know you'll respond and tell me that you'd pay, but the vast majority of people will not, and that's why any type of paid social network will fail. They require mass adoption to be successful.
Convince Google it's better as a community-led project. Maybe they will have some convincing counter-points about why it's better the way that it is that we're not considering. They've likely already been through this debate.

Consider if Tensorflow were half as useful as it is today if it was community-led and it was led by a shitty community.

It makes 100% sense, that's why I did it.
"(...) when it comes to Facebook, the rot is deep. It can’t be excised. It can only be replaced by something else, by a form of connectivity that treats people not as laborers or commodities, but as human beings."

Almost on point. Facebook has ingrained itself into socio-individual behaviour schemas. Social medias are likely here to stay for a long time and I don't see a company treating it's users as 'human beings' not 'commodities' being a front-runner to win a hypothethical future social media companies race; there are just no areas left that any rival company could simultaneously 1) exploit to stay profitable 2) make people use it.

There will likely be some decentralized services but that's all.
As a remote Java developer of 5 years (10 years experience total) the remote market seems hottest for exactly your skillset,as others have suggested you'd be best levelling up your current skills.

If I wanted to get a remote job now the best combination of skills/techs in my opinion would be any combination of the following:

- React/Vue.js/Angular

- Node.js/PHP/Ruby

To stand out in the crowd I would do two things:

1. Blog about the techs you use, it's a great way to get noticed when you apply for jobs. Posts can be as simple as you want around new things you are learning and is a positive chance to show off your writing and communication skills.

2. Whatever tech stack you choose or are comfortable with you should have a demo application in Github/Bitbucket be it a React widget that pulls in data about the weather/stocks etc or if you are fully backend then a rest API or library to solve a particular tech problem. Focus on good commit messages, clean code and concise,descriptive and useful tests.

If you do get the chance to interview for a remote position then over communicate, remote work can be spread across countries and timezones and it's crucial to make sure information is available for everyone and understood to avoid blockers.

So if someone reaches out and suggests a time then I'd recommend messaging back with 'Great, I'm looking forward to meeting you. Just to confirm I'll be online at 4pm EST and my skype is XXX. Any problems feel free to reach out to me on email X or phone Y.'

Last but not least, you're not going to become an AI/network specialist in a year, you'd a competent developer (let's drop 'fairly'). Look at what you can improve in your current sphere:

- Is your code clean and understandable?

- Can you effectively explain technical concepts to folks that are not programmers?

- Are your tests useful and effective?

Best of luck!

Might be talking to the wrong startups but also might be dealing with leaders who lack vision.

Spend time to figure out what your strengths and weaknesses are with those "fresh graduates". As a startup founder, I would take a 10x engineer any day. Fresh grads bring great energy and enthusiasm but experienced heads make sure my business is going to make the simple mistakes.

Don't sell yourself short. You're definitely valuable to any organization (startup or otherwise) as you've seen the best and worst of both worlds. You're an incredible asset.
Ditto. I have an uncle with a helicopter junk yard, so lots of military scrap electronics to tinker with, growing up in 70/80’s. Nice RF lab today in the basement.

Would argue nothing is more core than Borg. So would disagree.

I do think they are holding back some stuff and a big one is SDC stuff.

Plus we do not get the info until next release. So we got gen 1 TPUs after Gen 2. We will probably get gen 2 details with gen 3 release.

But Google shares so much more than any other tech company. I think possibly ever?
It's not about being "better". It's about trusting Google to have the same focus as Amazon and Microsoft. Besides, no one ever got fired for choosing AWS....

You'd be amazed at how much an enterprising person can collect for nothing but some blood, sweat and ingenuity. I ended up with a room looking somewhat like that by finding and repairing stuff here and there, often dumped at the street for the garbage truck to collect. Amplifiers with blown channels? dump ' m. Television with a fried tripler (HT ladder) or HT diode? On the street! Speaker boxes with one blown driver? Get rid of it. Reel to reel deck with some bad rubber here and there? Tube radio which just sits and hums? Begone, who wants a boat anchor like that?

Well, I did. It launched me on a career of 'rescuing' left-over hardware which still keeps me from buying new stuff unless absolutely necessary. While I might not be a good consumer (my father's oft-heard reaction when I spoke of my latest conquest: 'if everyone were like you the economy would crumble, just toss the rubbish and buy something new') but I don't feel this to be a prime responsibility: we're not here to support the economy, the economy exists by virtue of all our interactions. If the economy can only survive by virtue of people being wasteful the solution is not to produce more waste but to fix the economy. This will lead to some articles becoming more expensive - like they used to be - but it will also lead to less waste being produced, fixing another problem.

The rapid pace of technical developments between the 50's - the era from which some of the stuff our teenage bedrooms were filled with - and now has been part of the reason for the development of modern throw-away equipment. Now that this pace has slowed down and in some cases halted or reversed (want a good compact cassette player? Buy a second-hand older model and restore it) there is often no direct incitement for replacement of 'obsolete' hardware: an amplifier from the 90's sounds just as good as one from two decades later. It would make sense to repair that older model instead of buying something new, were it not for the fact that somewhere along the line manufacturers 'forgot' to think about repairability when designing hardware, 'forgot' about providing schematic diagrams or only provided them to 'authorised' repair centres, started using hard to source components, etc. Fortunately those latter 'omissions' have been reversed for a good deal by the existence of active repair communities on the 'net ([1], [2], etc) so the curious and enterprising can still continue on their mission of learning and discovery.

No.

Can you be a Christian if you’re an atheist? No.

“Muslim” is strictly related to adherence to the Islamic faith. If you don’t believe in Allah and follow the Koran, then you aren’t a Muslim.
“Systema” is Russian aikido dressed up in a bunch of mysticism about how it’s ~so deadly~; there’s no meaningful distinction between the two. Krav is some useful principles crippled by the lack of sparring in most (but by no means all) schools. I’ve trained both Krav and BJJ (and traditional karate), and the only one of the three that I think would be actually useful in a fight is BJJ because I actually DO use it in combat situations as part of regular training. Fighting someone is a physical task just like any other, and like any other physical task the more practice you have doing it the better at it you’ll be, no matter how good the theoretical aspects of a different art that doesn’t get that practice are.

Fluid dynamicist here.

"Convective" heat transfer includes heat transfer by both advection (the bulk fluid movement) and conduction. You might think convection is just advection, and I will admit the terminology is used inconsistently.
Replace the audio gear with ham radio and CB gear, his room doesn't look too different from mine during that same period. I had a combination of donor gear, graciously offered by some older hams, a couple pieces of home brew, and wires. Lots and lots of wires. CB was hot at the time so I had to have that as well. Fortunately, radios weren't terribly expensive. Dad wasn't really happy about another antenna on the roof, though. In any case, all that served me really well when getting my EE degree.

I highly recommend also reading the "stick" part of the CoC - the reporting guide.

A person who broke the CoC by snickering at the repeated use of the word dongle; unless a permanent ban is the result, the accused can not appeal any remedial actions taken against them. They are not even guaranteed to offer their side of the story in the investigation.

This CoC, like most, puts the power entirely in the hands of the accuser; it is very much the open source equivalent of a "binding arbitration" clause.
Context is king in archaeology. The precise location of an artifact in relation to other artifacts and features around it tells us far more than just examining the artifacts on their own. ISIL is not conducting rigorous digs, recording context, and publishing data. They're just digging stuff up and selling it.

Every dollar paid to ISIL for what they dig up directly funds the destruction of history. It would actually be a lesser crime to pay them to leave stuff in the ground.

Studying these artifacts now is damage control. We could have learned more from them if we knew their context, but we never will. However, there's no reason not to confiscate and study them. I sincerely hope Lobby Hobby is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. People need to understand that what they did destroys history rather than preserves it.
