The new design is bad enough that I have significantly reduced the time I spend on Reddit. Now if they retire the old site, I can kick one social media addiction.
The standard shouldnt be "This guys personal idea of a living situation". Wed have to come to an agreement as a society as to what is part of that standard.

I think shelter, clothes, internet, and food would be a reasonable modern standard but that shelter doesn't have to mean a 3000 sq ft house, and internet doesn't mean they have the fastest connection speed possible in the area, and food doesn't mean steak and lobster every night.

That standard should increase as technology improves, for instance if we did this in the 90s having internet access would have been a luxury and not a requirement for being part of society, but it doesn't have to be something luxurious compared to the time period its paid out in
Hi, man! I saw your forum had experienced spam-bots attack. I have a suggestion...

Do you know any messenger app based on replicating database in which users' messages are acknowledged by their transfer history through a social graph? So, a new user must ask several registered ones to broadcast the creation of a new node in that social graph, and then he will be able to post his messages by relaying them to the rest of the system through those users who registered him. Spam-bots could be then filtered out by black-lists...

Simple idea, I'm sure someone had to make it already. Do you know any? Thanks for the effort!
> both of which might be a net more productive use for the city overall.

And who is to decide what is more productive? If you happen to think that I'm the less productive, because I guess "reasons", them I'm to be kicked out from a city?

Also, the issue is with cities limiting supply of housing.
I learned Unix in the mid 80s but it wasn't until sometime later I learned or had the epiphany that grep was shorthand for g/re/p. As in global search for regular expression and print the results. Talk about a forehead slapping moment. Not everything in Unix is immediately obvious.
> They tend to remove the original barcode if they sell at a discount because otherwise the wholesaler/manufacturer will not sell to them again.

Why would the wholesaler care?

You’ve got a valid point.

The only thing I cannot give Amazon a benefit of doubt for is when an item is sold under prime shipping but is commingled with the same items from different sellers and making it pure luck whether you receive a genuine item or a counterfeit.

I’ve received counterfeit flash drives, headphones, batteries and chargers, toiletries and some skincare items - all sold by Amazon and shipped/fulfilled by Amazon.

That’s pretty much textbook fraud.
All else being equal:

Depends on the office environment. I'd probably take the remote if the local job was at an open plan office.

Otherwise, if you have leadership ambitions, the local is probably a better bet. If not, personally I prefer the freedom of remote, but you might not. Also depends on how good the company's culture is at supporting remote (what percentage of their workforce is remote, for instance.)

Short answer: you've given insufficient information to answer the question in a useful manner.
In the age of companies wanting to expand on an exponential pace and globalization. I get the feeling that there is no longer any compassion for things that are normal. It is normal for women to have children and have parental leave. It is good for a countries GDP that women have equal opportunity to take part of the work force. If women would not participate working the economy GDP of the country would be half of what it could be. Is is also good for dads to take equal long parental leave as women.

Thus it is short sighted by companies and the economy as general only to see the very short term.
Do you have the employers names and any documents or court records to show that this is what was uncovered? Why were your friends not able to determine the quality of employees during the interview and on-boarding process? Have you actually read the FMLA? They would have had to work their for quite a bit of time before requesting leave, and even then there are additional requirements:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_and_Medical_Leave_Act_o...

I was denied FMLA when I got full-time custody of my kids. Not saying that you are, but you come across as a biased person trying to stereotype and generalize women. FMLA does not only apply to women either.
Is that yam/africa thing actually true?

A friend of mine linked me your comment, expressing disapproval. He said it "reads like some fever dream", and that hacker news is "supposed to be all software engineery". I don't see what the fuss is, but my experience with sites like this is mostly confined to reddit where 97% of comments are twaddle.

edit: apparently sweet potatoes are from the new world: https://piedmontmastergardeners.org/article/sweet-potatoes/

I'm guessing maybe the issue is that yam can refer to sweet potatoes as well as tubers from unrelated species. Did she have a sweet potato or some other tuber in Gone With the Wind?

You think people want facebook and linkedin of all things over a new tool? Those are the two social networks with the lowest brand value to end users (not advetisers and recruiters). This seems like it would lead to the demise of public social networks feeding into the AR than killing AR itself. Just gtfo social media with your real name: problem solved.

Obviously this would be a corporate wet dream if both movements continue.
Steam's  Policy Proof That Valve Still Hasn't Learned Its Lesson
At least on Half Dome it is hard to miss the fact that you are approaching the edge, and that this entails risk. Amazon is deliberately obscuring the risks by making it appear that products are vetted and/or endorsed, either by them or by customers, when in fact they are not. Even the review system, which you praised in your OP, is easily gamed.

> 1. We don't know that. We know that Asian Americans outperform whites, but Asian American can refer to 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc... generation immigrants.

A quick glance at the first graph on this page will tell you that almost all Asian Americans are either first or second generation:

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/09/08/key-facts-ab...

Key stats: Asian American population in 2015 is slightly more than 20 million. In 1960 it is about 1 million and only about 2.5 million in 1980.

> 2. Asian immigrants tend to learn the prestige dialect (the dialect the SAT is written in), so if their children are native English speakers, they tend to learn that dialect natively.

Is it somehow easier for Asian immigrants to learn the prestige dialect than Hispanic immigrants?
I've been an Amazon customer since 1998, and this problem has shifted my buying away from Amazon, for categories where counterfeiting seems likely.

If they offered an option to simply never see any items with that (idiotic) co-mingled counterfeit-prone inventory management scheme, I'd happily pay a bit more to get things which I am confident went directly from the real manufacture, to Amazon, to me. Which of course is exactly what I do... by not shopping for such items at Amazon.

Truly the whole thing makes me wonder what kind of thinking could be going on. They have an amazing juggernaut of success going, all they have to do is not screw it up by doing anything especially stupid. Like this.
Using race as a proxy for "access to resources" or socio-economic background is almost certainly a suboptimal idea in the 21st century. Geographic proxies are probably better (think rural Appalachia or poor areas of Detroit), but looking at parents' income tax returns is better still.
This post is literary the story of my life...

After 20 years in the Marine Corps, I don't have the "polish" to work in corporate world and need the intensity of a start up or my own business.

My frustrations, probably started here:

In that time, I have had numerous run ins with trying to find job in the FinTech and Tech.

With all that said... I think that I have finally come to terms with the fact I'm not corporate guy and ageism seems to be running rampant in the tech field. If I'm going survive over the long term, I'm going to have to carve out a space for myself. About a month ago, recommitted myself to a strategy of carving out a space for myself in the FinTech space or working in some form of start up that I have a stake in, immediately I feel a "H E double hockey sticks" better about my career future. Soon after I wrote this educational / semi self promotional piece, I picked up some side work in the next week. Side work in this case, is step in the right direction and eases the pain of my minding numbing, over paid programming job. (but I'm grateful to have a job, cause there are times I haven't and being unemployed is a horrible burden.)

Often these are gray market items.

If I sell Product X in America for $50 and in China for $5, I would not want retailers selling the Chinese product in America.
> Type in "wireless headphones" and the top results look like what you'd find on a corner in Chinatown than a legitimate electronics store.

This is the most apt, insightful description I've seen so far of what is evidently a growing problem for Amazon: more and more retail consumers no longer trust the merchandise being sold by Amazon.

I write this as a longtime Amazon Prime member who, recently, for the first time ever, decided to buy a relatively inexpensive product (filters for a fairly expensive espresso machine) from a bricks-and-mortar retailer instead of Amazon, because I could not trust that the products listed for sale on Amazon were genuine (as opposed to knock-offs) or even the right kind (made with the right kind of silicon).
With a few exceptions, the problem with MS has never been their technical chops.

True, they've moved from a malignant stance to a more benign one recently, but their disregard for privacy and partnership with government should still make folks pause to consider. And pause we do.
troff -m specifies which macro package to use and the system docs are written with the "an" macro set. So you can runoff (pun intended) the manpages using troff -man.
I know it's how things are in US. Some stupid thing someone came up with in 1920 stuck there. Not sure if any other country on the planet has such a silly rule.

If evidence is false or tampered with then by all means ignore it, but if it's solid it doesn't matter if it came out just because someone committed some additional crime.
I also think falling for this is implicit in the notion of the MBA. Previously, management was mainly company founders, founder families, and people who had come up through the ranks. That is, all people who spent years learning the specifics of the business. But the theory of the MBA is there's some universal set of "business skills" that makes actually understanding the business domain irrelevant.

In practice, I think this means falling back on a limited sort of finance understanding and some generic notions of top-down business process. There's not much there, so they make up for it by leaning hard into their human instincts and skills.

Unfortunately, that leads to many problems, including over-trusting people who present well and seem confident.
Buries the lede. If you click through to the press release https://thecounterfeitreport.com/press_release_details.php?d...

> In repeated emails from Amazon opening with "Jeff Bezos received your email and I am responding on his behalf," The Counterfeit Report, a consumer advocate and industry watchdog, has been informed that inarguable counterfeit items will not be removed from many of Amazon's various 13 global websites. Amazon uses a crafty excuse: "Trademarks must be validly registered for European countries to take action on European nations" or "Your trademark must be in registered status in [each country the item is sold in]."

So they will actually let known counterfeits be sold freely in countries where the brand isn't trademarked.

Further, and worse IMHO, is this:

> For example, the counterfeit items below were repeatedly purchased from the same Amazon sellers and shipped to the USA.

> ... Replica current issue U.S. Secret Service, FBI and police badges are available on Amazon...

> Notices to Amazon management for of [sic] the alarming practice have been ignored. The items remain.
Don't forget the FMLA requirements that also protect employers in these types of situations:

The 'likability' factor is the strongest evidence of racial animus by Harvard. From the NYT: "Alumni interviewers give Asian-Americans personal ratings comparable to those of whites. But the admissions office gives them the worst scores of any racial group, often without even meeting them, according to Professor Arcidiacono."

This makes no fucking sense. They could have just covered the old barcode with the sticker but someone had taken care to carefully cut it out.

As I wrote, the whole reason I got suspicious in the first place is the scent itself was wrong. The bottle, too. I had an old one I'd bought from a department store to compare against.
No mention of the excellent LINQPad[1] or ilspy[2]? Both do decompilation, I use LINQPad a lot for quick sanity checks, although it's intended for database work I rarely actually use it for that. It'll also spit out IL code and expression trees.

ILSpy is a lightweight decompiler that you can just drop DLL files into to see their code. It has some nice analysis tools that allow you to find references and implementations. I associated .dll files with it so they open in ILSpy by default.

I know someone who first bid in county contracts, then on state, and now on federal. She says it was easier and quicker to talk to people at county levels so she could improve their bidding practices. With federal the process is less personal and as a new company it's hard to get access.

Also: For a small company it helps to be part women or minority owned because a certain percent of contracts has to go to these.
As a note...almost every state has an economic development office that can help with these questions for young or small businesses. Often they are associated with universities.

Frankly, they are hugely underutilized resources and are effectively free labor for dealing with government grants, contracting, etc.
Couldn’t anyone delete your entire database of URL’s trivially? Seems like this would be pretty unsafe to use for anything.
You took this as an assumption but I think it's more simply an interesting note. There's no value judgment being assigned by the language of the writing, they are simply noting that their method of personal liberation was an unusual/unexpected approach for the time compared to the rest of the gay community.
Oh yay, someone posted this! I’ve been a subscriber to the primitive technology channel for quite some time. The things this guy makes are truly awesome. I put his videos sometime for my kids because they’re actual worthwhile to talk to them about what he’s doing.

I often think of perception of time when I watch him work. Tens of thousands of years ago, when humans worked like this, their concept of time was completely different than ours. I’ve read comments by the guy that says some of these projects have taken many weeks. With our instant gratification culture, it’s good to reflect on his achievements and timescales.

I’ve also practiced making fire with hand drill and it’s hard. But when it works, it’s awesome. A primal connection to the past.

I recommend watching the video on how he makes lime. Really good stuff.
In this case, though, they did identify as gay: "But Syrett writes that the 50 letter-writers he studied identified as gay, at least privately, and did not marry women. "
Actually, when I was hiking in Zion a while back, the rangers said that putting up guide wires can lead to more bad outcomes, because people stop paying attention and assume that they're in a setting as safe as the sidewalks in a sleepy suburb.

So the original analogies that got this thread going may be on target after all. It's a turbulent world out there, and we've all got to watch ourselves.

I will say that Amazon's clothing offerings, especially in the "fulfilled by Amazon" sector, are turning out to be too dodgy for my tastes. Belts in particular are mis-sized in ways that even the reviews can't keep up with. Sometimes they're too long; sometimes they're too short; seldom do they fit.

Amazon does have an emerging quality problem, especially in low-ticket electronics. If they're watching pure P&L metrics, the return rate and associated costs may look tolerable in a period of rapid sales growth.

Not sure how much Amazon is tracking the fall-off in business from customers who had a bad experience. If we sputter a lot but keep buying, then the metrics won't really show a problem that needs correcting, will they?
Oh, it does have server-side processing, just not your own.
Not sure what you're trying to hint at, but I'd say this should be part of the discourse and part of research as well, obviously. True to the principles of the scientific method.

Privilege is always a matter of context and a consequence of the power you can or could exert over those around you.

Becoming aware of the privilege you hold gives you all sorts of insight into how the world around you really functions.

That insight does not unfortunately; have a moral valence. There are plenty of people who use their insight into the exercise of social power purely for self-interested gain. They can do enormous damage to the organizations that allow such people to accrue power if their self-interest differs from the organizations intended goals.
I think one need to view everything that happens with a time lens.

Locally at the time the content is produced it be seen as evil by corporations to copy it and distribute the titles for free. For one thing income from selling the software funds the next releases from the software company. So if there is no funding due to piracy there will not be a next release.

From a long term perspective and that of preservation. Pirates and crackers have done a very good deed. If no one could copy the content from an old disk system to a new system how would it be preserved? How will DRM protected content be copied and preserved for the future?
How will content from online platforms like Netflix, HBO, Steam be preserved?
Maybe it will be preserved by crackers and pirates? Is that a bad thing?

How will the content of online software as a service companies be preserved for the future?
It's a fair bit easier to switch away from Google, as most of their services have much weaker network effects. For example searching, I can only resort to Google if everything else fails, and easily switch back and forth. (This is not to say that there aren't still tracking issues.)

With Facebook, there is no alternative. If you want the value that the network provides you are trapped.
That's true in grocery stores too though
That's better than 1-2 years, so like I said, very very soon
Admittedly I’m a little shocked and disappointed that the field of social science wouldn’t already be leaning heavily on the concepts of evolution to understand and explain human behavior. Personally, it’s one of the primary ways I’m able to make sense of the world and the human experience. For those interested, Sapiens is IMO the best, most accessible book on this topic. Puts human evolution and behavior in great context.
