> Yes, Apple's graphic engineer and John probably knew what they were talking about, but I suspect that Jobs did.

I'm going to assume you meant "didn't". My point is that he didn't have to. Decision makers rarely have an expert understanding of what they're deciding on, but that's ok, because their value in the process is making a decision. For the most part I'd go so far as to argue that it doesn't even matter that they make the right decision, just that they make a decision.

Look at the Linux Desktop, my favorite whipping boy. How many different implementations are there of pretty much every layer of that monstrously fragmented beast? Is this because everyone who made these things is stupid? Probably not, they just all have (sometimes vastly) different opinions on how things should be. If, in the early days of the Linux Desktop, someone had been able to say "this is the way it will be done, end of discussion"* and have people listen we might have a stable and consistent free desktop os today. What if all the effort that was spent endlessly reinventing the wheel had instead been spent on a singular vision? It would still have its warts and quirks sure, because sometimes bad decisions would get made, but I'm pretty confident it'd be a damn sight better than what we have now.

*Some will argue that the value in the Linux Desktop is precisely because no one can do this. They're not wrong, they just shouldn't be surprised that most other people want something different from their desktop os.
This particular law is 88 pages full of duplicated terms, vague definitions and sometimes contradicting points. A very quick proof of that is the number of misunderstandings on so many points of it just in the comments of this topic - e.g. "do you need a DPO?", "do you need two separate people to avoid CoI?", "does the DPO need to be EU resident?". There are hardly two people with the same interpretation. And if people on HN have a horrible grasp of GDPR, how would an Average Joe be able to understand it idependently?

The only thing certain are the insane crippling fines.

It is extremely naive to believe you don't need a lawyer for that. You do - the same way as in some of EU's less market-oriented countries, after a VAT reg you need a registered accountant.
Essentially it translates that:

* Accounts that publicly disclose as being related to group A

And

* Accounts that don't publicly mention any relationship with group A, but are frequently accused as being part of group A

Show similar behavior (always supporting the government's side).

> Git LFS is not part of core-git

I know, that's what I am suggesting should change in version 2.0. It is a widely supported popular extension that solves a major pain point for Git, most vendors have adopted it.

New things can absolutely be required as part of a new protocol version, in fact this blog post lists several new things that will be new in 2.0 and beyond.

The analogy I'd use is HTTP/2 and SPDY. SPDY started out as a Google produced extension to HTTP, gained popularity, and was then standardized/merged into the HTTP/2 standard. All I am suggesting is Git LFS receive the same treatment.
As someone who's not really familiar with Peterson's work this piece feels really slanted.

> The left, he believes, refuses to admit that men might be in charge because they are better at it. “The people who hold that our culture is an oppressive patriarchy, they don’t want to admit that the current hierarchy might be predicated on competence,” he said.

His quote does not back up the assertion that Peterson believes the left "refuses to admit that men might be in charge because they are better at it". The whole article is littered with inserted supposition like that.

Also, why is this in the Style section?
Whether you are correct or not about the re-education camps post, accusing the government of sending groups of real (let's define real as regular HN contributors with at least 10 karma pts) people to deflect/defend on a HN post is a technically a conspiracy theory.

>Almost no one talked about the heartbreaking story or what it might mean, as most of the comments were tired derails into "the US is bad, too" territory and responses to them.

I saw that thread and I agree with your take, but unfortunately that's just a normal product of online discourse, not special to China-related topics. My guess is that people who live in the US saw an opportunity to call attention to prison reform rather than Chinese who wanted to deflect attention from the original article.
It's because a Google employee implemented protocol v2, and wrote a post about it.
The latter is the stuff they used in The Abyss, right?
This (redirect) still sends referrer to www.dereferer.org. The user also has to lookup and visit two sites instead of one.

Do browsers today not allow users to set the referrer?

Google and countless web businesses prefix urls and act as "dereferers" so they can collect referers instead of the target websites. There is no shortage of "derefered" links on the www.

A "dereferer" may be useful for a website owner, but is it useful to a user? The "defererer" can track the external sites its users visit, creating a log of users' www browsing, but how does that benefit the user?

For the user, this is sharing far more information with the "dereferer" than with any individual target site.

Is the "Referer" header truly necessary for the user? It is not even spelled correctly.

I have been using the www with target url set as referer instead of referring url for decades with almost zero problems.

The times when a site demands a certain referer are so few and far between that I cannot remember the last time it happened.
Alternative reading: they did you a favor by showing you early on that they could kill your startup at a moments notice. That's a lot better than to have 25 people on the payroll and see your advertising contract go up in smoke (which happened to me).
Yeah, could do a second imap if you really want to be cruel.
Maybe your “shop talk” is different from mine, but I can suss out fakes from the first sentence usually. You’re correct in that they go straight for the broad architecture strokes, and they speak in vague terms. Trying to get a solid grounded answer is like trying to nail jelly to a tree. That’s when you know they just read some wikipedia articles and don’t know the practical applications of the words they’re using.

I wonder if this will be somehow exposed by git daemon. It could be used for easy per ref access controls.

For example Git Switch [0] that uses Macaroons had to clone the repository to implement per ref ACL.

It is possible that code itself is not that complex, but the interaction between all modules certainly has a high level of complexity.

"In the International Space Station’s U.S. segment alone, more than 1.5 million lines of flight software code run on 44 computers communicating via 100 data networks transferring 400,000 signals (e.g. pressure or temperature measurements, valve positions, etc.)."
You're onto it: what you say would still need to be proven is actually not even true, see anderskaseorg's comments, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17104624.

So their picture is nice, and the gcd!=1 cells are all red, but the gcd=1 cells need not be black. For odd N this fails loads of times (always?), and for even N you quickly find failing cells when you start looking for it (see linked comment).

...ever written...that we, the general public, are aware of.

If Stuxnet's discovery was a "bug" and that hole has since been plugged, then there's likely plenty we aren't aware of.

I think this one will stay, but mainly because the content is an inoculation against the kind of trolling that usually leads to China threads getting buried.

I do have an irrational hope that the inoculation will last for more than a single thread though.
This is a rounding error to Google, they could not care less.
Didn't the United States government remove flossing from their official health recommendations because there isn't actually any scientific evidence in favor of it, and the law required the government only make recommendations backed by science? From what I understand much of dentistry isn't actually backed by science but is rather just the opinions of dentists. So I think it's justified to ask where you are getting the evidence for the empirical claims you are making.

>You are not special because you have a PhD and I don’t.

>I can do everything you can do.

To demonstrate that to an employer wanting PhD workers, go get a PhD like the other PhDs did. Claiming you can do what they do when you haven't done what they have done is not going to cut it.

>you won’t even call me to talk to me that means you are missing out, and you are gatekeeping

Gatekeeping = not spending unnecessary money and wasting unnecessary time.

An employer saves significant money and time by not having to interview everyone claiming they can do what PhD can do but didn't bother to get one. Your skilled workers don't have to stop producing and do interviews, your HR people don't need to spend time and money booking flights, hotels, and such for candidates. You don't have to work through 500 resumes with 30 PhDs in the pool - you sift through 30 resumes.
As mentioned in another comment, protocol v2 was implemented by a Google employee, and they decided to write a blog post about it. This is not an official git announcement.
Most do actually because it’s useful to know what the risk to your own country is.

Specifically if we don’t think the effected country actually has the resources to do so. The alternative is wide spread contagion - take swine flu and bird flu, both started in China, and yet the lack of any monitoring allowed them to spread around the world before being contained. In that case the outbreak was deliberately not disclosed, but choosing not to disclose and not having resources to disclose have the same effect for /other/ countries, including your own.

Things like where a disease has spread is important to work out the risk of it reaching your own country.

You do know that most of what the cdc does is monitor right? It’s not actively going out to spend Your Tax Dollars treating patients - that’s something that the US doesn’t even do in America.

Alternatively we could choose to not track outbreaks and just hope that Ebola knows we’ll deport it if it comes here. (That works right?)
at a certain company in San Francisco, they had Data Science meetups very publicly, for a year or more.. very well attended.. The company made an announcement they were 'hiring' at many of them ..

It appears to me that about two or three people were hired that way over more than a year.. at the same time, the company was being sold to a larger company in Seattle.. the founders made at least seven figures in the sale, I would guess... draw your own conclusions..
Agreed, but there is a slight twist to that I have seen be even more effective.

1) Consult in the industry as a contract developer at X/hour rate.

2) When you find a problem that they're facing that you might be able to turn into a business, offer them 0.75X/hour while you work on it in exchange for the right to commercialize it.

Obviously this doesn't work for everything, but it's a non-obvious way to get paid while fixing a real problem and build a business.
I'm assuming from your comment that you're already aware of --reference but it doesn't completely meet your needs? The only other thing I can think of would be to use the 'insteadOf' configuration to tell Git to use your local clone instead of the remote one. Search 'git help config' for 'url.<base>.insteadOf'.
Right. That's pretty much why I'm asking. From the engineering standpoint it just doesn't make sense to have all these organization, they're just adding a huge overhead to the system. However, I agree that it is how it is for a reason, just trying to understand the driving forces that form the current taxation system.

yeah, sorta. essentially you partition the 100 floors into some number of groups (i forget what partition length is optimal) and drop the first egg at each segment until it breaks, then go linearly from the previous one

It Worked For Me
You assume that everyone can teach themselves with the same efficiency and effectiveness as quality guided instruction from real teachers they can directly interact with. Some can, but most cannot. Education is not a waste.
I agree. Rude bicyclists are the problem. It doesn't matter if it is going 5mph or 20mph, getting hit is going to hurt.

And honestly I've never been almost hit by an e-bike, but I have definitely almost been hit by a bike going the wrong way or not obeying traffic sign(al)s.

Let's just admit it: commuting in NYC, regardless of your mode, is absurdly dangerous and none of us obey traffic sign(al)s anyway so watch out.
To give an alternative approach - I found that in general, I could get a pretty good idea about a candidate using either the verbal interaction or written test.

The idea was to give questions which are almost a polar opposite of the strange trivia style questions you see in certification exams. Instead of the candidate having to remember which overload of an API returns a byte[], we'd instead talk about things like how they prefer to structure a project, and how this feeds into maintainability, etc. If the person was into object orientation, we'd talk about that, if they were into a more functional style, same angle, but I want them to have thought about it from a software engineering side. It sounds wishy-washy, but with just a few pointed questions, you can detect both BS answers, as well as someone who hasn't really thought about it. I tend to find that this quality in an individual is a very important predictor of performance, as it indicates deep care and interest about their craft. With good candidates, you can get really deep into a discussion and know within 5 minutes that they are quality.

Along the way, you'd also get a pretty good picture of the persons strengths and stylistic preferences, which you can use to determine how and where they would fit in with the team(s) you had in mind.

The only downsides are that I wasn't always available for these interviews, and the written equivalent intimidating and could take long. Also, various people swore that they either can't perform well in written or verbal conditions, so perhaps letting the candidate choose between the two might be beneficial.
Cloudflare Stream for Node.js – making video streaming and uploading much easier
The marginal return on this is probably a lot lower than you would think. Very few people ever know the names of the laws that are passed, and when the names are publicized, it is to mock them at least as often as it is to somehow fool people.

The vast majority of people in the U.S. do not follow what Congress is doing. They follow what media sources say Congress is doing. And media sources tend to focus on what bills will do.

I would argue that legislation names just do not matter. Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare are among well-known government progams whose names were not even in the titles of their enacting legislation.

I'd be super surprised if they did. Google interviewers usually encourage you to spit out an easily-verifiable O(n^2) (or even worse!) solution as fast as possible. That way, if you get stuck and honestly can't finesse a faster solution, you can code that up and provide a code sample. People still try to fake their way through the process so being able to code up something close to a compilable function is a useful metric.

Whiteboarding is fine when done well, horrible when done poorly. The variance is on the side of the interviewers.

I've done a lot of interviews over the years, and I've encountered a couple stereotypes:

1. The gotcha interviewers. He pulled out his old algorithm text book and found the hardest problem.

2. The no bullshit interviewer. Asks you to code a somewhat challenging, but solvable problem. No tricks. Basically non-trival fizz buzz problems. The problem with these is there are only so many practical problems you can give before it gets put up on leetcode, and every interviewee has memorized the code.

3. The clueless interviewer. They try to give you a weird mix of an IQ test and a personality test, and maybe throw in a little bit of API trivia while they are at it.

Here are some questions I thought of while reading your short description.

-Is selling to repair shops a big part of your business? If not, why are you doing it? Seems like it might be a time suck. You might be better off just putting all parts online and letting those small repair shops buy through that.

-Can you hire someone to do the grunt work (pulling parts etc)? I was always worried about hiring someone and then I realized that 1. you don't have to hire them full time, many people want part time work and 2. if you are profitable enough, they should be paying for themselves and then some. So don't be afraid just to hire some local labour.

-Why do you need an investor? Run the profits back through the business or put in some personal capital. $5000 will get you a part time employee working 25 hours a week for a few months.
