It's something to keep in mind when designing our own personal meta-strategies for how to deal with the [dis]information glut.

As a global society we are starting to come to self-awareness, and confronting the need to distinguish between hallucinations and real sensory inputs. [1] We're in the situation of a person who has suddenly woken up after falling asleep while driving on the freeway. We have to clear away the cobwebs and dreamstuff, but quick, and get back in our lane and out of the way of that oncoming semi-truck.

The global AI is already here, and it has people for neurons. Katsuhiro Yoneshige's service functions like a close-to-primary-perception locus of attention, compared to most news services which are more like idle daydreams.

In this memetic evolutionary system, there's about to be a strong selective pressure towards fidelity in communications. (Cf. Musk's Pravda thrust.)

As a 28 year coding veteran, I sometimes dream about the life of a truck driver. Hours on the road, seeing the country go by, seems like a nice change.

But an article like this one brings me back to reality. I guess I'll stick to coding for a while longer.
That's a remarkable author profile on that article.
It was bound to happen as more and more of our personal lives are turning into personal brand-building moments... and as the mechanics of capitalism have permeated ever increasing swaths of people's time.

There is a building backlash and this is just seems like a stop gap, therapeutic measure.

I'm Mexican and I've lived in USA & Quebec, speaking English and French and it's different because it's a constant combat, it's everyday with your friends and it's so tiring to be careful about that.

Even if double entendre is global, the Mexican variant is omnipresent and very homophobic.
nodes meaning compute nodes; not containers

I'm not seeing anything specially Mexican about this, before or after reading the article. I'm also amused with "The Mexican Art of [French phrase]".
I am actually not wrong. You have to understand the context. State laws only apply to businesses operating within the state. States in the US cannot regulate the activities of entities that are not within their jurisdiction.

If a state in the US starts saying it has the power to regulate businesses in other states and countries, that would be news.

Also, please read the article we are commenting on:

Data brokers in Vermont will now have to register as such with the state; they must take standard security measures and notify authorities of security breaches (no, they weren’t before); and using their data for criminal purposes like fraud is now its own actionable offense.

That is what this law does. Nothing more, nothing less.
I would not consider myself an extrovert. I am much more inclined to introversion. But as @mattnewport said in response to me...

> Similar to what some others mentioned, I'm more of an introvert so I find remote work makes me more social if anything as I don't "use up" my social energy being in an office and can instead use it more selectively on interactions that I get more value from.

I think this is key. Offices used to make me feel exhausted. I recall coming home from work and plummeting into a "crash nap" for an hour so that I could salvage my evenings. I worked hard to build my life so that I can move at a much slower pace and take things in a flow that works well for me.

But to your question: is what you are describing par for the course for an introvert working remotely, or are you taking social reclusion too far...

There seems to be two things afoot:

* You have been interviewing for a long while without success.

* You feel lonely and, in a way, depreciating, because of your confined way of being.

As for interviewing... I would agree that actual interviews _are_ practice - the best kind! But I am curious as to the other type of practice that you are doing. Are you working with other people to help you or are you studying textbooks like 'Cracking the Coding Interview'? We all feel a bit weird about recruiters, but there are services that will help you polish your people skills.

As for reclusiveness... It sounds like you might be taking it to an extreme. There are studies that pop-up on HN often about the benefits of social contact towards well-being and longevity. There is also intuitive proof; we feel much better when we have social validation. The inverse is depressing. I empathize. It sounds like you are having a tough time.

I would challenge a limiting belief like introversion. That is not a good reason for making yourself suffer alone. It might be time to write a narrative for yourself where you _are_ into athletic activities, meeting up with strangers, and being open to healthy and fruitful relationships. When you take care of yourself it will shine through in all that you do.
> Employers have no option here.

Considering employers hold the vast majority of the power in the relationship, that's a rather extreme conclusion.

As other commenters have pointed out, it's easily within the employers' abilities just to pay more money (and/or offer better terms to increase job stability, like meaningful severance packages or usable retirement plans). This actually used to happen routinely, but employers stopped valuing employment longevity, so job-hopping is what they got.

Additionally, as another commenter alluded to by mentioning job growth, working environment matters, too. Although not every employer can offer every employee (enough) growth, other forms of respect and opportunities (not just lip service) make a difference.

Companies like Southwest Airlines make it something of a point of pride that they keep their turnover low by keeping their employees happy, so it's not as if the principle has somehow aged out of applicbility.

The far likelier explanation, to my mind, is that everyone else is concerned with short-term incentives over long-term value.
Read guidelines and FAQ but really not sure why I can't find this question in the regular list :) .
Your reading that they define 'data broker' as a business in Vermont is not substantiated by the text of the bill [1].

Some excerpts that define some key terms:

"(2) "Business" means a commercial entity, including a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, association, limited liability company, or other group, however organized and whether or not organized to
operate at a profit, including a financial institution organized, charterd, or holding a license or authorization certificate under the laws of this State, any other state, the United States, or any other country, or the parent, affiliate, or subsidiary of a financial institution, but does not include the State, a State agency, any political subdivision of the State, or a vendor acting solely on behalf of, and at the direction of, the State.

(3) "Consumer" means an individual residing in this State.

(4)(A) "Data broker" means a business, or unit or units of a business, separately or together, that knowingly collects and sells or licenses to third parties the brokered personal information of a consumer with whom the business does not have a direct relationship."

Aside from documenting to what 'Skippy' refers, you don't seem actually to have suggested anything in particular—at least, not clearly enough that I can tell what it is. (It's quite possible that I would be defensive if I understood what you were suggesting, but I can't now because I have no idea against what I'm trying to defend.)

Very insightful.

As an introvert, I agree completely.

The extroverts that I meet seem to have little insight into the feelings of the people they are energetically talking in the direction of, and desire little truthfulness in their conversations. It's all surface-level small talk. I can do it for a short time but every one of those conversations kills me a little inside.

The problem with saying "kubectl is the new ssh" is that it is simply not true in my opinion. Something more akin to "kubectl is to controlling a cluster as ssh is to controlling a server" would be more accurate I think. The point the OP makes about "Most Developers Don’t Have Google-Scale Problems" is true, I don't think you should use Kubernetes if your app consists of just a website and a database. But do people working on such (relatively simple) apps really consider using Kubernetes?
Selfish/stubborn mining isn't applicable here, since the double spender has to fork and withhold all blocks from the point where their honest transaction is included in a block until the victim sends them the goods/exchange withdrawal/whatever, at which point they need to eventually mine a longer chain and reveal.

At ~50% hash power and with a victim who waits <10 confirmations you still only have a ~1/2+o(1) probability of mining a longer private chain. The point is if you can maintain the 50% long enough, you can expect to eventually have the longer chain.

You can also have <50% hash power and double spend, it is just progressively less likely to succeed. The calculations in the Bitcoin whitepaper (p.7) for choosing a transaction confirmations threshold assume the attacker can maintain their attack indefinitely [1].

To clarify, the whole point of selfish/stubborn mining is to increase your mining profit by wasting the honest miners' time when you withhold new blocks (so they unknowingly mine on a shorter chain) and then trying to propagate your withheld block faster when you see an honest miner release a new block. Therefore you get a greater effective proportion of the network's hash power. Of course if you're more than one block ahead of the honest chain, you can just propagate the next block in your withheld chain. But, when you're attempting a double spend, your withheld chain has to remain private the entire time otherwise the victim would see the honest transaction invalidated and cancel the e.g. exchange withdrawal.

There's a cool paper on some extended selfish mining strategies combining eclipse attacks [2].

Also interesting to note is that selfish mining is only profitable if only a few miners are using it, like a kind of prisoner's dilemma [3].

With that new interface, could you see yourself jotting down a "sentence" of APL that maybe you think of in a meeting or something?

I mainly am interested in apl as a notation, there's a certain lispy zen to a language that unifies notation and code into the same thing.

Maybe there are better handwriting notations to explore for what I'm thinking.

This reminds me of working with C++ and the Pebble SDK. The Pebble builds ELF binaries but doesn't have an ELF loader. It also uses position independent code. The SDK uses objtools to strip the code out of the ELF and the Pebble OS just copies the code into memory and jumps to it.

In C, this works fine. But in C++, gcc generates the GOT for virtual method calls but there is no ELF loader to fill it.

I accidentally found out if my code contains a destructor that makes an assignment to a static variable then no GOT is generated and virtual method calls work for the entire project! I'm not sure the logic behind that but this is the code that is needed:

class SampleObject
{
public:
//! Destroys the underlying Pebble window
virtual ~SampleObject()
{
// The assignment to a static variable makes the virtual methods work for subclasses
// I have no idea why!
dummy() = 0;
}

private:
// Dummy static variable needed for virutal method pointers to work (see destructor)
inline static int& dummy() { static int dummy = 0; return dummy; }
}
This quote only works when you're using other neutral, but unrelated-to-you parties.

Data brokers are scum. They do not produce any value, they do not improve the society, they have no positive effect on anyone. No reasonable person should stand up to protect them from liability.
I believe the point is that IF the problem with nil is that when it shows up you can't be sure whether it was on purpose (to indicate an "empty" value) or on accident (because an error in the code caused a variable to not get bound). By introducing a separate identifier (e.g. :id-unknown) to explicitly handle the empty-value case, it frees up nil to solely signify improperly bound variables.

A Saas company that does nothing fishy with users data, may still be concerned with the harsh, company destroying penalties associated with GDPR. Indeed there have been dozens of discussions on HN about this. It may be FUD, but it’s real.

Actually I think TD just launched a SMS based two factor, I set it up on the weekend (I got prompted when I logged into EasyWeb, and it's also in my security settings). It's SMS based, and can be configured on how aggressive it is (when you change IP/computer, or every time you log in).

I would much prefer to see a second factor like TOTP, U2F, etc as the problems with SMS based second factor are well documented, but I'll take what I can get.

What you’re not understanding is that this is a state law. They can only regulate the activities of businesses that operate within their own state.

They use the broad definition of a “business” because in the US you can be incorporated in Delaware and actually operate in Vermont. This is actually a common thing - most US corporations are incorporated under the laws of either Delaware or Nevada but operate within their home state. But the state only has the ability to regulate the actual operations of businesses operating within Vermont.
> I don’t know why those principals are so hard for people to swallow.

The top comment from a post yesterday explains it very well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17165707

> Because Facebook and Google have been guided by the principal: if it's not illegal, it's ethical.

The problem with that philosophy is that if you've normalized any questionable behavior on the basis that it is legal, the natural response will be stronger legislation. The "unstated rules" around privacy and people's personal information have been broken.

Any ire at forthcoming regulation should be directed at the bad actors, like Facebook and Google.

I mean, it's undeniable that the rich create luxury goods that are often aesthetically pleasing, but they are items that are enjoyed almost exclusively by the rich. At most, the average person might observe one of these on the street. Publicly funded art would create accessible beautiful things, not merely inaccessible toys you can dream about but never have.

Honestly, is fake news there to derail societies (funded by anarchist ideologues?) or is it to make advertising revenue for the publishers? As far as I've worked out, it's the latter. What's the evidence that it's done with a political aim of derailing a society?

Some portion would, certainly, 10, 20, 30% would. I think most people would at least have a neutral source in addition to their narrative feeding news source.

Some of their reporters are at least fair (@nrpgreene) although their ombudsman gets complaints from the left that NPR _leans_ _right!_ while most neutral people would tell you they are left _leaning_.

> Things like this are the reason I stopped contributing to Wikipedia. People with no knowledge or expertise are able to change facts at will, maliciously or otherwise.

Have you stopped reading Wikipedia though? That seems like the real test. Who cares if you "contribute"? Is it your go-to source for random research or is it not? It is for me. If it's not for you, then what is?

"Things like this" are just evidence that encyclopedias are not reliable sources for items[1] involving controversy or interpretation. They never have been and they never will be. That's what analysis is for. The job of the encyclopedia, if it's done right, is just to document the existence of an argument and the lack of consensus (and in the modern world link to the relevant conflicting sources). And... it seems like Wikipedia did its job here?

[1] Like the apparrently apocryphal inspiration for The Human Stain -- honestly this seems like a genuine item of controversy here. Artists are not, in general, considered authoritative sources for their own works and for good reason. History is filled with great works where the author lied about them a little.
For ages there used to be dedicated publications for ads -- why is it not possible to push all ads to only be displayed at a dedicated website, journal, newspaper, etc. where the customer(!) (not consumer) can choose to visit if he/she wants to discover something.

All we need is a push towards criminalization of ads in public spaces where they are forced on people not based on their need, but based on their ability to be manipulated into buying shit they don't need.
Gregory Clark candidly prefaces his "Farewell to Alms" with the admission that the arguments he presents in the book will most likely be proven "oversimplified, or merely false" but excuses his fallibility quoting Darwin:

"false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes
a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness: and when this is done, one path
towards error is closed and the road to truth is often at the same time
opened.”
Industry races itself to the bottom with cheap labour and terrible conditions, surprises itself that no one is interested anymore.

Unfortunately it's the good companies and drivers that find out their industry was swiped from underneath them first. It happens in farm labour markets too.

Bigger companies start undercutting with cheaper labour and worse conditions, the smart people leave the industry all together because the writing is on the wall, and those companies willing to pay for good people with reasonable work conditions have no one to hire anymore.
