TL;DR. I just have two things to say:

R worshippers: "To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail." Interactively manipulating tables and producing visualizations is not what software engineers/programmers on HN would call "programming". Try learning a compiled programing language like C and creating a tool or three.

R haters: "It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice." Remember, R was designed by statisticians for statisticians -- nothing more, nothing less. Try manipulating a tabular dataset and producing visualizations in R, and see how easy and painless it is. There's a good reason behind all the hype.
I'm not saying it is different than other evils we manage. Caution isn't a new thing for managing evils. Prudence was recommended even farther back than Proverbs, I'm sure.

And, as an example of a technology with less inherent danger, we exercise an abundance of caution in the field of nuclear weapons/chemical weapons, to the point of military attacks to prevent their development.
I 100% agree that it is a reasonable sentiment. What I find funny is that I have seen lots of supporters here obout GDPRs right to content without supporting a websites business model of targeted advertising and now I am seeing a comment about how countries should follow a softwares copyleft laws or not be able to use it (the all or nothing approach that GDPR advocates seem to always complain about).

I guess another way to think about it is with a sports analogy haha: he's like a coach of a professional team. Not all professional coaches were the best players, but many of them played professionally and were just good students of the game. That's maybe a better characterization of Sam: he played in the "big leagues", wasn't a huge success, but did well as a coach / angel afterwards
Regardless of the motivations behind doing this (cynics could easily suggest it is a direct attack on Google Maps) this is great news for both OSM and the broader mapping ecosystem.

The data OSM provides is immensely valuable and enables some really empowering applications.
most of the time the issues are also not fixed (a cross multiple releases)
some of the issues are really basic ones, one can wonder why they made a release with them in the first place.
Just wanted to say that I'm very sorry that this is happening to you. I hope that you and your wife find a way out of this.
Theft of trade secrets is a specific criminal offense: 18 U.S. Code § 1832 - Theft of trade secrets (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1832)
A minor nit: There is a major difference between Rust references and C++ references - while both are guaranteed to point at something, only a Rust reference is guaranteed to point at something valid. A C++ reference can point at an already freed object if you aren't careful which can be worse than a NULL pointer dereference since this can cause silent corruption.
If they're forcing you to do something that you know is criminal (e.g., stealing from a customer, tax fraud, etc.) it's much better to quit your job immediately than to risk going to prison.

If they're not asking you to do something criminal (merely something that you find unethical), start looking for a new job and quit when you have a firm offer lined up.
JavaScript is the most secure we have. The fact that it is subject to Pwn2Own is part of why. Other sandboxes have not received anywhere near the scrutiny, and surely have many more bugs that simply haven't been found.

Process, container, and VM isolation all have lots of bugs too.
Seems plausible to me that after the society and its people had adapted to living in deep space, they might end up simply never landing anywhere. Or finding a rogue planet and burrowing in because stars are too volatile and dangerous.
The worst part here is definitely the timeline. NPM is often criticized about security, perhaps rightfully so, but at least the issues are handled promptly after raised publicly.

I believe he made a good amount of money investing independent of YC before he joined. He was a scout for sequoia and invested from his proceeds from the sale of loopt. That doesn't necessarily qualify him to lead YC but I do think he has an angel investing track record independent of YC that is quite good compared to peers. But you're right, his relationship with PG probably had more to do with him getting his current job
I counter that perhaps it feels like people are switching all the because there are more people and projects in web development than games or scientific development. Most all games have websites, whereas, few websites have games.
Simply because there are federal laws criminalising industrial espionage itself beyond the component crimes of burglary, trespassing, etc. See the EEA, passed in the mid 90s, and some recent expansions of its powers.

I don't like either political party, but that doesn't mean they are equal in how terrible they are, too many people try to equivocate.

We absolutely should do more to castigate people by party line, especially when their beliefs are based on propaganda. The Republican party is destroying the future of this country. The Republican media and formal political party have convinced the majority of its members that people who need help are lazy welfare queens, and that government can't do anything efficiently. It is a great narrative, and it is not factually true.

Charity is ineffective, have you looked at how they spend their money and how much goes to fund-raising and operations? Very few charities actually do anything meaningful. Government is what does the hard work that keeps states and the country running. Not to mention the number of funds given to charities with dubious missions, such as convincing women not to have abortions, or megachurches trying to buy a jet so that Christ comes back and the world ends...

Charities are badly run band-aids that are trying to hold the country together. It isn't a good thing, it is another sign of how far we have sunk in taking care of our people. That is money that should have been collected via taxes and actually deployed to help educate people, help them afford health care, etc etc.

I would urge everyone to start castigating people by party line before it is too late.

This title seems inaccurate. The article makes it sound like the data is just retrieved, from Microsoft, when using a specific editor. OSM doesn’t actually have the data nor are they are distributing it.

they also mention async rendering. cool.
but they also did in ways that breaks the Detox e2e testing framework ,if i am not mistaken, in a way that is difficult to fix without proper support from RN code itself.

this kind of stuff is awkward. do something new cool, but break major functionality for some users of RN.
This is a goldmine. I held a few of the misconceptions myself.
I really meant the economically depressed people I knew when I was a kid in my urban high school in the south. My parents went to college and knew about preparing for those tests (like taking the psat and prep books, that's as far as I went). But plenty of my fellow students at my high school never really escaped the urban environment and didn't get a chance to go to college and beyond. If their parents were more prepared for this world, or they were lucky and able to navigate it on their own they might have had very different lives. I was not particularly savvy about the college world but my parents knew what to do. There are no doubt plenty of asian immigrants who also didn't have those parents who helped them get started in colleges, just like non-immigrant americans had parents who didn't help them get out to college.
Curious why Google hasn't persued a criminal case against Levandowski for the Otto/Uber IP theft?
Yeah and the interesting thing is it uses a lot of Symfony components. The Symfony components are really high quality themselves but I strongly dislike the framework.
Depends on what you mean by minorities but prepared minorities do use test prep. Poor black kids at disadvantaged high schools in my experience never did.
Most places already have cable laid, change the equipment at the end is much easier than laying new lines
Yes, I don't believe they are licensing the data.

(edit: my mistake, there is a license of sorts, see the comment below)
It actually wouldn’t be as bad as you might imagine: pick whichever of the SVG-in-font specifications wins, and then all you need to do is apply that subset of SVG to the text, effectively allowing inline definition of the font. Roughly no new attack surface exposed in the text layout and rendering engine, given the existing ability to load untrusted fonts.

On further reflection, you would probably want some way to efficiently signal the dimensions of the SVG-mode glyph, so that the text layout engine doesn’t need the SVG parser, and only the renderer does. That would probably add at least one more code point reservation, depending on how you chose to do it.

But I’m only saying that it’s actually not that hard to do; I firmly believe it’s a bad idea, and I’m fairly confident it will never happen.
Not necessarily. Static analysis means a specific thing in structural engineering. Pin jointed frames with diagonal members (eg trusses) are easy to analyse with just geometry (statically determinate). But moment resisting frames without diagonals are not statically determinate and require more iterative calculations (usually computer modelled these days). Doesn't mean you shouldn't build them though.
i also wonder about the 64 bit support on android ?
if they are really supporting it, i would expect more movement in that area...
If you're seriously interested in building this and would be open to employment for that purpose – please drop me a line (contact info in my profile). This absolutely deserves to exist and it would be a natural extension of what we're building at Scalyr. I'd love to talk.
That's true as long as they're not talking about their work at the conference. I assume they would be?
It's both. Microsoft is all in on cloud services and infrastructure. They want full ecosystem for Azure customers, and GeoAPIs are important for many users.
Next, with upcoming HoloLens they want devs to create some amazing real-time lens apps.
Unfortunately I did this seat-of-the-pants calculation years ago, so I no longer have the numbers around. I do remember that using the simplistic 1:1 ratio the net result was considerably smaller than I had originally expected, although still measurable. But when I tried to figure out a more realistic ratio to use I kind of ran into a brick wall. See, for example, the typical molecular complexity of coal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal#/media/File:Struktura_che... (It's been a long time now, but if I remember my organic chemistry correctly each of those unmarked corners is a carbon atom, and each of those may have a hydrogen atom attached to it, and possibly more than one.)

A transition away from coal and towards natural gas (which consists primarily of fully-combustible methane at a ratio of 1:2) should lead to both an increase in H2O output and a decrease in CO2 output as compared to coal. (A recent local power plant transition from coal to natural gas claims a carbon emissions reduction of 60%.) Using your 2.5% number, water vapor is already about 60x more common in the atmosphere than CO2 is at 0.041%, and I've seen estimates that it is probably about 15% higher now than it was in the past. (Presumably any H2O output above that has ended up in the oceans.)

Given that as a greenhouse gas water vapor is at least 2x (IIRC) as powerful as CO2 and apparently also increasing at a steady clip, you'd think that folks would be paying more attention to this, but instead they just tend to ignore it. In fact they just like to ignore water vapor completely, except maybe when it leads to clouds and such.

Well, it is summer, so there's that. Your compute situation is unfortunate but your rental situation is surprising. Three days, court, eviction? I was always under the impression that there were some number of weeks involved with a legal eviction having some process before the sheriff can come knocking. Clearly I'm mistaken and/or there's a longer story there.

You have to keep the faith and cannot allow yourself to spiral out. Find grit. It is frustrating but you're going to have to temper that. You seem to be doing the right things so do keep on keeping on. If homelessness is truly a risk then you and your spouse will need to dig deep, reach out to friends and family if possible, identify any root that you have and cling to it. Maybe that's just each other but hold onto it regardless. You're already taking inventory so you're already planning and adapting. Camping seems like a good suggestion. Reach out to some agencies if you haven't already. The more people working your case the better your chances will be. RH got my foot in the door after a (not so) nice five month shutout that started early in Sep. 2001 when myriad opportunities locked down tight literally overnight. I was at the end of a nice, well earned six week vacation from tech after our startup shut down. Just lying around. I regretted that little timeout for the next few months, to say the least. The money was about done and stress was running pretty high for a small family. You'll pull out, man, keep your chin up, your eyes peeled and don't balk if an offer comes up short. Find a comfort zone and shore up. You'll need a way to keep your comms open, for sure. I think that's all I've got. Good luck and god speed.
Static force analysis is independent of the materials (well except for the weight of those materials). It is working out what the loads will be on each member.

Designing how those members resist/react to those loads is dependent on the material though.
I don't know why you are being downvoted. That is a very legitimate question. I would think that since trade secret theft is really simply a violation of a private contract, that it should therefore simply be a civil offense. However, it seems that the people who made the U.S. Economic Espionage Act of 1996 [1] (which is what made theft of a trade secret a federal crime) and of The Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 [2] (which strengthened that) believe otherwise. From the title of those acts, I'd guess they argued it should be a federal crime because of the risk of foreign entities gaining US company knowledge and/or harm to US economy in general.

It would only be helpful if you would want to start your own publication, not join an existing one!

Have you considered starting your own?
Potentially because it could be considered a conspiracy? I can't say for sure but it would make sense. There is probably more information that will be released. I probably still have trade secrets from my previous employer stashed away on a hard drive that I forgot about. But I am not going to a competitor either so I am not concerned.
I fix things for a living and spending time “hacking” my OS to make the trackpad tolerable would steal time from that.

I kind of agree with you though, I wish some people would do it. The MacBook trackpad being damn near magic compared to anything else that isn’t a surface is the main thing keeping me from Linux. That being said, I also work with efficiency, and the thought of millions of users “hacking” at their OS in exactly the same way, over and over and over, is just so much wasted potential.

I guess it’s hard to write decent trackpad software for hardware you aren’t building yourself though, but it makes you wonder why companies like dell don’t bother making their hardware worth purchasing by having decent software support for it.
What is the actual crime??? Changing jobs?

On so many levels, your statements speaks my personal truths and experiences. Thank you.
I think you're spot on about Angular 1. I really like Angular myself despite that transition issue but I also like React and Vue. I currently use Angular for larger web projects (it's more complete out of the box), Vue for smaller web apps and widgets and React Native for mobile.
If I were making six figures for the last 15 years, I don’t think I’d deserve (or want) charity unless there are some very unusual circumstances.

The OP wasn’t asking for charity either.

>What do you want him to do?

Probably what I’d do. Go get ANY job. Landscaper, McDonald’s, whatever pays the bills.
Comparing those two years is a little misleading, but I do agree with the concept we haven't done that well as a society in growing wealth for average people. You have to look at longer term trends than comparing one year with the post-stagnation a few years after the worst crash in 80 years. Indeed the chart in that story comparing 1989 through 2013 shows that in most of those years it was better than 1989. I'd like to see the moving 3 or 4 year average comparing the 1980s to the last few years.
Nice, I’ve been looking for sone new party tricks!
Sure, but that was civil not criminal.
I know the feeling, in fact a little over two years ago I posted something similar on HN and got 0 responses. It’s always empowering to finally acknowledge that there is no safety net.

Forget computers and engineering interviews, start looking for any and all work that pays. If all else fails, go to McDonald’s and work there until you save up a little. Once you have an income restart your job search.

If you go homeless that becomes a social stigma that’s hard to come back from, so do EVERYTHING in your power to avoid that.

Oh, and find an apartment you can afford.

If you want someone to talk to, you can give me a call (send message first to morgan@wilde.work).
I think you should just hire a few smart people who can be dedicated to supporting these issues which are high priority outside Facebook.

These issues are extremely costly to teams using React and they absolutely need much faster resolution.

Provide some facts to back up this claim.

It sounds like you are saying that fathers that leave marriages don't love their children? Is that what you are saying?
I mean... It's a fast moving ecosystem and a coalition of the willing. You have to submit PRs too.

I'm not unsympathetic to your claim but context matters. This is an enthusiasm problem. Not a community one
That Wikipedia entry is a list of things that many people believe are true, but are definitely false.

We also need a list of things that many people believe are true, but have no scientific basis. I.e., things that may be true or false, but no study has shown conclusive evidence either way. The medical and personal health fields are overflowing with things that people believe for which there is no evidence.
> it’s strange

it's not. They've lost their dominant position (mind-share wise at least) and is clamouring to get it back. Google, on the other hand, has gained a dominant position, and got complacent lately; and people are starting to lose faith in them.

But in the end, the goal is to ensure they have good PR.

$20 per year seems steep enough to count as outrageous. Especially when compared to other hosted blog options like WordPress, Blogger, Livejournal, Tumblr, etc. Heck, if I get a free ".tk" website, with maybe free 5GB web hosting with WP.org installed and a free 5GB CDN from Cloudinary, I can "self-host" WordPress for free.

So am I missing a major value-add over any of the above options that makes the $20 a reasonable cost?
Imho odds are your manager is right. Are you working for a 3 letter agency, its contractor or subcontractor; are you revealing trade secrets or company priorities, or implying them by revealing your knowledge on a subject; are you using your role as employee of company X to land paid speaking roles; have you signed employment agreements that state any intellectual property you create on or off the job is property of the company; are you speaking at event which could bring suspicion or disrepute to your employer eg blackhat, scammy, or events sponsored by foreign powers; do you work in finance and are being paid an amount in cash or in perks (transport, meals) which invites scrutiny for ethical violations; do you work in a sensitive or "access" position which has required you to sign a code of conduct? What's the reason for denial? Context is necessary.
