> The problem I find with remote work usually is that people pay you less than if you work onsite.

Is this actually a problem, or even particularly surprising? Remote positions provide massive non-monetary benefits to employees (flexibility in general, but particularly: you can live wherever you want, including on the road, with no commute, in low cost-of-living areas, closer to other things you value, etc). These benefits attract more applicants, which alters the supply/demand balance, with predictable effect on market salary. Remote work should be understood as a win-win, where the employee gets significant quality-of-life and maybe reduced cost of living in exchange for somewhat reduced salary, and the employer gets significantly reduced costs (directly in terms of salary and office space, indirectly in terms of easier recruitment) in exchange for (maybe) somewhat harder management. If you don't like the employee-side trade-off, tough to be you, because you're competing against a lot of people who do.

> when it's remote you compete with people in India, China

It's not clear that this is really true. It's relatively easy to run a distributed organization that has a common native language, legal system, and continent. Language barriers, massive timezone discrepancies, and ..challenging international legal systems make successful management much harder. In practice, it seems that many companies are unwilling to take on those costs and risks.
How about this?

From this comment, I'll make an inference that you aren't comfortable in writing complex JS apps. Am I right?

Seems to be how Twitter is accommodating for twitter clients not showing ads. That's like $11 a month for the 250 users but I imagine that the enterprise could get as low as $5/user/month.

It's almost like the ad-free experience people want on social networks would be possible with this. I'm hoping they work with Tweetbot and this isn't a passive aggressive way to shut it down.
It looks like this is going to hit clients like Twitterific/Tweetbot pretty hard https://twitter.com/BigZaphod/status/996784838349910016

It's sad to see how Twitter is treating 3rd party devs, and "engaged" users — the kind of users willing to buy a 3rd party app to use their services. Furthermore, these engaged users bring their value to the platform by bringing in eyeballs from less engaged audiences rather than clicking on ads themselves.
Except that, MUST becomes SHOULD because I am not required to have a time source. The exception negates the requirement.
I wasn't baiting and switching I was just stating your statement wasn't factually correct though your empirical evidence might state differently. Sorry if I came across with any attitude it wasn't directed at you or anyone on HN.

> Or are you, a theology student, solely commenting on a philosophy thread to police generalities?

No, I just was trying to be diplomatic. I also wasn't really reacting to your statement as much as I hate when Christians throw on the doom and gloom when it is based on emotions and lazy Theology. It drives me crazy how people put so much energy into their beliefs when they don't put any energy into learning about their own beliefs. That is why so many people become so

> Can we agree that the doctrine of heaven and hell is less conducive to good stewardship of the earth

I have also read hundreds of Hindu books and I can say that Christian Scriptures also has clear statements about stewardship of the Earth. People also love ignorance and are lazy. They just believe what a person says and don't investigate it themselves. BUT I still don't see where Heaven and Hell as anything to do with stewardship. The Christian Scriptures don't have a Good / Evil balance scale for who goes to heaven and hell.
> Both the UN and the EU consider privacy a fundamental human right

Privacy and free speech exist in natural conflict. Between the two, I prefer our society which enshrines the latter over the former to the European model which does the reverse.
”For example, valid utf-8 must always use the shortest possible sequence or it's invalid.”

nabla9 likely knows this, but for those wondering: utf8 can’t contain overlong encodings (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8#Overlong_encodings), but need not use precomposed characters (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precomposed_character) whenever possible (another way in which a shorter sequence is possible)
Frankly, I’m still sifting through the arguments here and don’t think I agree with the OP off the bat, but that’s a false analogy. Google’s work is directly advertised for military use— Telegram isn’t. I don’t think anyone is arguing against object detection research, more its military application.
> I use Rake (or Gulp, or whatever) because then I can use Ruby (or JavaScript, or whatever).

You can use Ruby in Make. I don't know Ruby but here's some Python:

SHELL = python
.SHELLFLAGS = -c
.ONESHELL:
.DELETE_ON_ERROR:

foo.txt: bar.json
import json
with open('$<') as input, open('$@', 'w') as output:
output.write(json.load(input)['the_text'])

(Caveat: I've never actually tried this at scale.)

You can even use different languages for different recipes with per-recipe variable settings.
The linked implementation assumes mostly ASCII. It doesn't use SIMD. SIMD in Rust is a work in progress - the next version (1.27) will stabilize x86-64-specific SIMD intrinsics. There's an rfc (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2366) for portable SIMD types.
So Skynet, but it lets you rent parts of itself? I'm sure someone is writing an ICO whitepaper for this right now, if they haven't already...
Yup, being known to have left a company because it wasn't liberal enough for you isn't exactly going to get you blacklisted in SV.
WASM is just an intermediate representation / compilation target. It's not meant to be human readable or human writeable.

You're right that today it could be difficult to debug things that are compiled down to WASM as initially it was difficult to debug C code compiled to traditional assembly. The next step, though, was debuggers. These will come, and the issue will become moot.

tl;dr: The tooling will follow.
I understand what you are saying, but I am not required to have a time source, which makes the entire requirement optional.

> But your core team can't tolerate being segmented out by component/implementation detail.

And yet tolerate it will, because it is somewhat impossible to hire a team composed entirely of people who are each experienced and competent in writing and designing frontends, writing and architecting backends, deploying and maintaining whatever backing services you've using, build and release engineering, Linux, networking, etc. And what are junior developers supposed to do?

On the one hand, slavery was banned by 13th amendment.

On the middle handle, alcohol was banned (18th) and then unbanned (21st) by amendment.

On the other hand, nearly everything else in the Constitution is about the function of government and the rights of individuals with respect to government, not the rights of individuals with respect to other individuals.
I wonder how it works in practice. I've worked with git.js (old and ugly, but works) and js-git (looks nice but is quite complex).

git.js even has a repository browsing demo (think gitk) that works in a browser.

Did anyone use isomorphic git? Does it support smart http protocol?
In eBay v Newmark, the full quote you're looking for:

"[Newmark and Buckmaster] did prove that they personally believe craigslist should not be about the business of stockholder wealth maximization, now or in the future. As an abstract matter, there is nothing inappropriate about an organization seeking to aid local, national, and global communities by providing a website for online classifieds that is largely devoid of monetized elements. Indeed, I personally appreciate and admire [Newmark's and Buckmaster's] desire to be of service to communities. The corporate form in which craigslist operates, however, is not an appropriate vehicle for purely philanthropic ends, at least not when there are other stockholders interested in realizing a return on their investment. Jim and Craig opted to form craigslist, Inc. as a for-profit Delaware corporation and voluntarily accepted millions of dollars from eBay as part of a transaction whereby eBay became a stockholder. Having chosen a for-profit corporate form, the craigslist directors are bound by the fiduciary duties and standards that accompany that form. Those standards include acting to promote the value of the corporation for the benefit of its stockholders."
"Can you give me an exam of something that is trivial in another lang, but requires "sailing to Africa and back" in JS?"

Packages and imports. First-class entities, built in to every other modern language. A mishmash of different "standards" and proprietary implementations in Javascript. Even K&R-era C had a better solution than Javascript (until ES6, anyway).

And do not tell me that ECMAScript 6 fixes this -- as long as there are multiple implementations in use in legacy code (there are) JS will have to live with a rat's nest of horrors at this incredibly fundamental level (not to mention the fact that ES6 imports aren't yet universally supported!)
Don't use *.io anyway. The domains are being sold under a very morally dubious arrangement, given the UK kicked all the people off the island of Chagos and gave the domain registration to a private entity.

This is Benioff shutting the door behind him. It lets him seize the moral high ground, while making it more expensive for startups to try to imitate them. A few million bucks on navigating complex multi-jurisdictional compliance issues is nothing for them. It's a non-starter for a small team of innovators.

Few things terrify incumbents more than a fast moving nimble and smart team of innovators. e.g. FB paying $19bn for WhatsApp.
That reads like "we are going to do this somehow, we refuse to give up and we don't give a rat's ass how shitty we have to be to accomplish our goals"

That makes it an absolute priority to cut "you" off at the knees and make your goal impossible, as you have just told us you are scum and need to be cleansed from the world.

Prove otherwise and we can consider allowing you back in the pool with the people who know how to respect others.
I did something similar a few years ago. https://github.com/ryanackley/git-html5.js. A lot of the links don't work in the README anymore. It was more of a "this would be cool!" project rather than a library I wanted everyone to use for the next 20 years.

One of things that scared me is the responsibility that bugs in something like this could be catastrophic to someone's work. As I built my git library I realized a lot of the network protocol validation exists in the git client. For example, one bug I introduced caused a force push of a shallow copy of the tip of master intermittently. The server would happily accept it without any kind of "are you sure?" or -f flag. That spooked me.

PoW isn't "Proof of Work", it's "proof of money spent". The "work" is only here to make crypto look sophisticated. We could replace "work" with videos of miners burning stacks of cash, & crypto would work just the same, without killing polar bears. Downside: it would look stupid.

You're right, there are clunkier, more opaque, and harder to work with constructs in programming. Like `sh` arguments. And like `sh` quotebarf.

And Busybox is commonplace. Systems that include Busybox usually do not include `bash`. And so, for my purposes, if I can specify `bash`, I can also specify, say, Ruby, which--while by no means perfect--makes life much, much easier.

While you're technically right NUL is a part of ASCII set in practise it's rarely wanted in the data.
I'd argue that the tragedy of the commons points to a way through that. When it becomes clear that a group optimum (via regulation) can (over a period of time) be better for an individual's self-interest than a Nash equilibrium, anyone reasonable would probably have more tolerance for some forms of regulation than they would before realizing this.
That's fairly easily detectable through analysis, though.
What would be most effective would be a pair of rules in tandem:

1. Allow the location data to be utilized by the cellular carrier only for legitimate engineering purposes relevant to the delivery of the cellular services. (The network needs to know your location in real time in order to route calls to you.) Also, allow the use of real time location data for emergency services in response to an emergency call. Potentially also allow the use of emergency services initiated real time locations, with a non-suppressible UI required to be presented to the user if this is performed.

2. Require that the cellular service providers purge / NOT retain this location data for any longer than is literally required to provide proper service.

The data retention policy #2 item here is essential in preventing temptation to come up with end-runs for the first rule. It's important that historic data that has no legitimate use under rule #1 not be preserved so that there isn't a mound of accumulating data of theoretically increasing value if only we could change / get rid of rule #1. That sort of thing will create ever mounting incentive to repeal / replace rule #1.
They very nearly did until Trump came into power. Remember all the articles talking about the troubles twitter was having and everyone predicting the end. And then the campaign happened. Now everyone has twitter just to see what he'll say next.

Not part of Ghost, but as a general answer, it's always feasible to invest in anything that serves the mission.

Besides actually just reducing prices for services to not get profit, Ghost could create a foundation and give grants to any deserving work that serves the Ghost mission, such as supporting the FSF or EFF or funding other upstream or aligned stuff such as working to get more of their tools to be 100% free/libre/open…

The article is pay-walled, that's not very "populist" ;-)

But what is "populism" anyhow? I cannot get any clear definition. My best guess so far: rebellion against the established political parties and players by experimenting with "outsider" or non-traditional politicians. (Donald is a hell of an experiment.)
This is built on UTF-8 described as a state machine. The state machine already rejects overlong sequences.

why is it that in all advancement of machine learning and AI prophecies, the developer becomes obsolete.

Remember, we are automating systems and technology to advance our species when facing tougher problems. The rise of AI and machine learning came out of the necessity of faster computers and a bigger connected community of humans and devices. Turnaround time for features and business value also is driving this innovation.

As systems get more complicated, the roles of developers will change, not be obsolete. For a developer to cease to exist, humanity itself would have to change. When you imply technology being created and managed its own, the implications to society are huge. I might even argue that the species survival would even be at risk here.

I think in the foreseeable future, developers would interface with ever more smart and complete features.

The particular example this user complains about is piping binary data to file. It makes use of the Out-File cmdlet which is making (by default) Windows based assumptions as to how to encode this content. They would have been better served by using cURL's native -O parameter.

Spinoza clearly makes definition statements of love. The love for neighbor was different than an emotionally based love.

I have studied Ancient Hebrew, classical Greek, Aramaic, German, and Danish (WOWZ) and there isn't a time when the word love couldn't be translated. Sometimes with more then one word but love has always been a varied meaning word.

Just as fear, sad and angry are translated love also is pretty clearly different categories within that emotion.

The panopticlick site is hyperbole (or in other words poorly implemented). Since no one visits it it will tell you an iPhoneX in Los Angeles is 1 in a million. Their site doesn't take IP into account it's only the taking what it can get from the phone. Timezone for example and then all the normal fingerprints. And yet every iPhoneX is exactly the same. Calculate the penetration of iPhoneX and it should be more like 1 in 100 or 1 in 33 or even one in 20 not 1 in a million. It expires data which make sense but any site wanting to actually track you would need to be on popular sites. As such it would need a unique fingerprint. It won't get one for an iPhoneX which I'm just using as an example. you can choose any popular device.
It might help traffic because cars could move in tandem and follow closer behind. I think exiting the highway and going from "rail mode" to "driving mode" would be the trickiest part. I'd imagine you'd need some manual signal from the driver to the rail system to confirm that the driver is sort and ready to take back over.

This might not be an area people want to discuss, but at this price does it make a grey market API competitor viable? Meaning first party API access is seen as preferable because HTML scraping is unreliable and therefore necessitates a full time staff of individuals to respond to site changes.

But if the price is high enough, couldn't a third party operating out of another part of the world undercut them using scraping, a dedicated team, and a clean API? Twitter may have technical remedies but it is unlikely they'd have legal ones outside of the US and a few Western countries.

Official APIs Vs. "pirate" APIs haven't really been a major issue until now because companies simply weren't charging enough to make the alternative cost effective. Is that going to change with pricing strategies like this one?
That's fair, but it still reinforces the point: Makefiles are great from a compiled language perspective. Other build tools are better from other perspectives. It isn't wrong to choose a tool depending on your needs!

I modified the simulation as follows:

I allowed it to evolve for a single generation, enough
time for the top 20% of the population to have 80% of the wealth. I now choose a random sample from the top 20% of the population to follow, lets call them T20.

I now repeatedly

1) pass the wealth of all actors to actors with new, random abilities

2) let the new actors compete for a generation (the same number of competitions we used above)

Result: After 3 generations of steps 1 and 2 above, 80% of T20 has lost almost all their wealth, 10% has lost 75% of their wealth, 10% has done really well, growing it by a factor of 8, due to capable ancestors for three generations.

Amazing, it matches the statistics in
