> just throwing money at people

That's an overly emotive phrase that misrepresents what anyone has suggested.

> Maybe a small amount of direct money, but just to cover gaps in essentials. You also have to pay a significant amount for auditors and social workers to make sure the system is working sanely.

In other words, do exactly what the research shows does not work as well. Attach strings, maintain tight control, etc. Never grant agency to poor people. Pretend that they can't make wise decisions, unlike people who might inherit millions and of course we can trust them to act wisely because meritocracy.
When I say that, I mean 'well-being and autonomy' implies listening to people, giving them space and time to find their own self, offering guidance if they request it, affirming they have choice, offering help if they are confused, and sometimes even being confused with them. It's no different from being a parent, a teacher, or a therapist.

It doesn't have to be seen as nefarious if it isn't.
Jeez, and I thought our immigration policies were harsh.
Unary is just tallies. Without the cross every fifth digit, of course.
I'll get needlessly pedantic here, but I think it's more of re-iteration (with different words).

It would be circular reasoning only if the parent attempted to pin "being a genius" to having an > 160 IQ.

Instead, he said that he's only seen someone he'd classify as a genius when they had IQ >= 160 -- which is not circular. It's just using that observation as a supporting argument, without having established what a genius is first.

And here I was thinking that pledge(2) was the sandbox. Did I miss something?
And I repeat that you continue to miss the point of philosophy and are confusing means of expression with means of claiming. It has nothing to do with whether language is the limit of anyone's world we are talking about philosophy here that's the context that's what I was responding to before you started this useless diatribe. Have a great Saturday.
> Since at least half of US seems to want to abolish immigration control

There's a large difference between "want people to be treated humanely" and "abolish immigration control". I'd hope the first would be a majority opinion, the latter seems unlikely to be one.

Is Michael Marshall Smith well known in the US?

Intruders was made into a BBC America series, but his earlier works are much more interesting.

Only Forward, One of Us, What You Make It, or Spares from the nineties are all well written, and all beat any of the suspense he's written as Michael Marshall. He simply seems much better writing near future dystopian sci-fi.

'...candidates — scarred from years of applying for jobs, spending hours preparing for interviews, only to get form rejections back — may not be to blame for going cold, said Peter Cappelli, a management professor and director of Wharton's Center for Human Resources. “I think they have learned it from the employers,” he said. “Employers were notorious for never getting back to people, and only letting them know what was going on if it turned out they wanted them to go to the next step.
He added: “The employers have been far worse about this than any of the job seekers.”

I wonder if that is the root cause? It seems possible this is another example of internet era behavioral changes, where people are far more casual about applying for jobs and have less respect for formal perceptions of job application than in the past...

As a people manager this only happened to me once, when an engineer was a no show. It was quite a shocker after all the effort that went into bringing them into the big corp I was at back then...
That game is common in credit scoring classes for fresh analysts. The class is split into small teams. Each team is given ten anonymized, but real, credit applications and corresponding credit bureau pulls. Five from customers who subsequently defaulted, and other five from customers who paid the loan back. Each team tries to guess which are which. The team that makes the most correct guesses wins.

Then the results are compared with FICO score, and usually FICO is clearly better. Even with people with banking experience on the teams it's very rare to see humans beat the model, partly because humans tend to base their decisions on irrelevant details and their own biases.
It should be noted that you can still mutate in these.
Like it's not at all recommended, but you have access to the original array in many of the functional "non-mutating" Array methods, for example: https://codepen.io/konsumer/pen/bKKYJO?editors=0010

This can make things very hard to troubleshoot.
0.5% for employee #1 is very low. Sounds like the company is doing well, and also that you're in-demand in the industry, so if I were you I'd use these facts to try and negotiate a higher salary (I wouldn't value equity too highly).

If they don't go for it then I'd be ready to take another job — you can definitely get a better package elsewhere (FB etc), and it sounds like you're not super satisfied where you are right now.

Compared to founders, early employees get a bit of a shitty deal in general, but your equity is definitely below market rate for a first employee.

All the best!

Could you explain more what "nothing to do with Crédit Agricole" means?

I assume a company is interested in the physical and mental health of its employees. Every large company I have visited has internal employee groups for all matter of topics; sports, movies, gardening, art, jogging, and more.

An expat organization can help people get over the culture shock of working in a French company.

Surely "there's a near 100% chance that there would be some kind of HR related issue that comes about because of the existence of" any of these groups, yes?

Yet we see that most companies have such groups.

Could it be that there are benefits which outweigh the possible negatives? Because that's my impression of why companies allow these groups to use company resources.
My response was the VC was shocking disconnected from the actual world if they thought an actual problem was that cryptocurrencies might make normal currencies obsolete any time soon. Maybe in 30 years? Let's get one in actual use to buy things like groceries. A couple of stores or pizza places that instantly convert your bitcoin to fiat currency hardly matters, as you could have used gold. Also I'm not cool enough to know what those "magical 3 letters" mean, HKS? Hong Kong S? Harvard Kennedy School? HKS Japan, HKS architects? Probably the school.

Please clarify what this means. Standards are open access and browser engines and JS engines are for the most part (Edge, Safari, Chromium, Firefox) open source, so "closed platform" seems, to me, inaccurate.

>HN readers are capable of not using FileZilla, because its admin is actively trying to mislead its users into running malware.

Then your prior comment makes no sense to me.

>Of course there is trustworthy freeware. You can get it using Apt, Yum, Ninite, Chocolatey, Homebrew, or just by going to the actual site of a trustworthy software product.

If you don't use the crapware downloader, then the vendor doesn't get any money. I noted that pretty much all freeware is bundled like so, including your "trustworthy" software, on various other download sites.

Then the only way the vendor can stay in business is if enough people download the crapware version.

>Are you associated with FileZilla?

Huh? Why are you asking, and why would it matter?

>Why are you here bringing out the "everyone is doing it" defense?

I am not. Its your interpretation that's flawed.
The admin's replies are clever smokescreens: they stay neatly of the periphery of the matter and avoid giving actual answers to the questions being posed.

Whoever wrote these replies would probably do well in politics.
I know a guy that was the CTO of one of the world's biggest porn providers. Before that he worked in AI for the Department of Homeland Security. He didn't look at it as moral/immoral nor did he judge the other people in the business. It was about money, and the job paid very very well.

Interesting timing soon after a review of a recent book about Cortés: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/05/24/mexico-curse-of-c...

The review says that "most estimates of the frequency of human sacrifices in Tenochtitlan come from an unfounded assertion by the Franciscan friar Diego Valadés, who was born twenty-two years after the city fell. Valadés claimed that between 15,000 and 20,000 people were sacrificed in Tenochtitlan per year." Later, "Cortés’s confessor and the first formal historian of the Conquest of Mexico, raised the figure to 50,000."

"The number is remarkable for how preposterous it is: more than 137 sacrifices a day, five an hour, one every twelve minutes, twenty-four hours a day. Aztec sacrifice was a nonmechanized process that demanded extensive ritual preparation and an individually selected victim, and archaeologists have never found evidence to support the Spaniards’ figures. As [the book's author] points out, although human skulls have been retrieved from ritual burial grounds close to Tenochtitlan’s Templo Mayor (the city’s main temple), most of the sacrificial remains that have been found belong to animals—wolves mostly—and these remains don’t add up even to hundreds of victims, let alone thousands."

Also, regarding cannibalism, "owing to a [Spanish] royal law from 1503, an enemy fighter who practiced cannibalism could be enslaved for life, and shortly before Cortés left Cuba for Mexico a smallpox epidemic caused a drastic reduction in native manual labor in the Caribbean. The later narratives that were so insistent on the subject of cannibalism are always, in [the author's] view, related to the conquistador generation’s claim to cost-free indigenous servitude. This argument became especially important after the Crown abolished native slavery and gave indigenous subjects rights identical to those of Spaniards in the New Laws of 1542."
Sounds like a case of "writing C in Rust" compared with "writing Rust". You're not really writing in a language until you're thinking in its idioms.
Urban vs suburbs vs rural have differing land use requirements and viable transport options and resource requirements. So the moral and ethical standards are really proxies for resource use. Compare that to white and black tennis shoes, if one dye used 4x the resources of the other you'd have a point bit otherwise they are not quite the same. Though some of that can be achieved through long and narrow yards (still the same size) and allows higher density

That's what was unclear about the article for me. The recommendation is 8 hours, but under 6 hours is considered sleep deprivation. So... there seems to be a wide amount of flexibility between 6 and 8 hours, and it's likely person-dependent. Perhaps there's deleterious effects below 8 hours for everyone, but once you're at ~6 hours or below, the negative impact increases significantly.

Don't they? The only rich person that I know that lives in a penthouse is the dropbox CEO. Bill gates, Jeff Bezos, Andy Jassy, Mark Zuckerburg, Larry and Sergey all live in suburbs as far as I know.

Hey sytse. This is the issue number [0]. There's a few people at the company I'm working at who have been pushing really hard to move away from GitLab to GitHub. One of their main issues, from what I can tell, stem from this issue and getting some integrated support for monorepos. I'm very glad you're working on the features monorepos require.

Aside from monorepos there is one other small issue I have with GitLab. GitLab is perfectly well situated to completely take over the software development planning, warehousing, deployment, and testing. Documentation is really the last front. If GitLab wikis were as powerful as Confluence I would be very happy because I'd never need to use that terrible bloated site ever again. I've been pushing for us to switch to GitLab wikis for a while but 2 coworkers keep saying that "it is not good for long-lived out-of-project documentation, it's not as searchable, you can't drag and drop for graphs, it's not as integrate, and it doesn't have as many features as Confluence".

I hope one day GitLab can be my one-stop-shop for everything.

Thank you very much for making such an amazing product.

Well, that's not flawless. I never use the TODOs view, because it's full of items like this:

In other words, there's a number of issues assigned to me listed there, even though they're closed. There's also a few mentions that I don't otherwise interact with (I've seen them in my email and that's that), so I'd have to manually mark those as Done in the GitLab interface after reading them in my email.

There was a market for tulips and a lot of attention and money went there. Tulips have an intrinsic value, but it turned out to be small.

It's not hard, it's people skipping on doing it.
In all the scenarios I've been involved in implementing a new version control solution, there are already existing project management and issue tracking solutions in place, and appearing to want to replace them is a hurdle to be overcome rather than selling point. We use Gitlab, and the CI and Issue tracking features all sit idle, but better integration with Jira would be valuable, cause ain't no way we're switching issue trackers.

You have choices, many.

How is using FileZilla a technical debt? What are you requiring from FileZilla that you need a few million of dollars to refactor code? What kind of code depends on an external FTP client to work? If you give more details about why your company has such a weird technical debt, maybe I or other can give you more options to switch.

I did, you asked for alternatives, I gave you Rsync and SCP.

Apple and Apple service providers can get replacement keycaps from Apple and replace keycaps, even for the butterfly keyboards. The linked article even says, "The type of service [...] may involve the replacement of one or more keys". The butterfly ones are more complicated to replace.

But this only helps with some kinds of key issues where the keycap or scissor mechanism is the problem, like sticking or rubbing keys (and dirty keys). It usually doesn't help with issues like no key response or wrong letter being typed. In this case the keyboard, and therefore the top case, would need to be replaced.
And whether it mutates is kind of a surprise. Like reduce doesn't, even though it works similar to forEach, map, and every.

Under "instances" there is a list of mutators, accessors, and iterators that I find more useful since it is grouped and alphabetized.

Because nobody really wants to give the AppStore 30% of their revenue. Having it be a percentage of the revenue instead of just a flat fee means its just a money-grab IMHO. Ironically Apple is arguing in court that Qualcomm is doing the same thing to them (charging a percentage based on retail pricing) and that the price is unfair.
Okey, here's my observation:

Frontend work is a hugely lower barrier than backend. You can take a dummy new guy and ask him to do same work in JS and he will do it with using google, etc. Backend languages is whole other deal. There margin of "oh damn, i fucked up" is a lot wider.

The inert complexity of JS compared to any other backend programming language is huge. JS is pretty easy to learn(not master) and the experience is very interactive. With backend languages it is not the same. You can't really make a quality code with GO without knowing a bunch of complex conventions.
Blimey, humans are really odd.

Magnificent philosophy.
Ideally we can support good software by donating to it but this is challenging to. Perhaps a software store for various platforms that defaults to charging money for open source software you haven't already paid for. Let the user set a multiplier that effects the price so it is reasonable for that user and let the user also change the price if they desire. They CAN pay zero for insert filezilla competitor here but the default is 3.99. This is probably already more than for example filezilla makes for selling out their users.

It’s not easy going into medicine but it is more reliable than many other paths.

In finance you can be very dependent on the market conditions, same in law (without a lot of business activity businesses don’t need to consult lawyers), in research you are also very dependent on the hype around your field to get grants, starting your own successful business is brutal if you don’t find the right opportunities or network of people, engineering is no cake walk of study either (especially adding in the work to stay relevant in the field) and joining a startup for good money is absolutely not a secure employment.

There will always be a need of medical personel however and since it requires a license given out by a few institutions you can be sure that your field will not be oversaturated, especially as it’s hard to obtain said license through study. Again, not saying it is easy becoming an MD, but if you are a competent person the path to a secure, good paying job is clearer if you choose med school than engineering, law, graduate or finance.
