Why should you have to use a "reader mode" in the first place?

For sure, but the starter of this thread suggested he called his employees lazy. He didn't. He said it killed his work ethic, and that he now worked a 65 hour week.

It might be that for his median employee, it increased hourly productivity -- but by less than 12%. Or that it didn't affect hourly productivity. Or, as a peer suggested, that it just felt shitty to lay some people off while others worked less than a conventional "full" work week for full salary.
Well spotted! Fixed. Thank you :)
I cut the cord to Reddit a bit over a year ago. I promise, the feeling of missing something subsides quickly.
It's especially amusing that they call the "ad blocker" a "software blocker" on their fail screen -- even though you can clearly see from the adblocker logs that the only software being blocked is ads.

You're right, though. This might finally be enough to break me free of that particular Skinner box.

It seems unlikely that a drug that affects neurotransmitters wouldn't result in tolerance, and the scientific evidence and anecdotal reports seem to confirm this. Anything that gives you a 'high' will ultimately have the opposite effect when you're sober. So in the end you'll just wind up wasting money smoking to feel normal, and you'll feel like shit when you've been sober for a while.
Note that this study specifically showed that fructose alone did not increase liver fat content unless BPA was present in the solution. See figure 3, but yes, I agree that it would have been nice if they tried BPA without the fructose.

This really does make sense. When that pathway is suppressed, the adipogenic program is activated, which turns on the SREBP-1 pathway and stores lipid droplets. Without this pathway activated, fructose is processed and exported out of the liver, preventing harm to the liver.

I would argue that we should really test every new manmade chemical against a library of our proteins before we synthesize anything new and introduce millions of tons of it to the world. Not doing so can have disasterous consequences.

Samuel Epstein, before he died, documented a great many examples of horror stories we just barely averted.

Not obvious to me at all. Weed is already legal in several states in the US; weed use is far from taboo on HN; you have FU money. So why the throwaway? (Of course you have right to your privacy, I just wonder what are the "obvious" reasons ...)
Did someone say coughserverlesscough?
Based on your previous comments you seem to be pro china and seem to carry long list of bad things about US, which is fine. But you will find very little support for any country which doesn't tolerate free speech. It's surprising that you don't want to see world news on HN, but your HN comments about US human rights issues are straight straight out of mainstream liberal news network.
So I am confused. I got accepted in advisor track and then now its saying I am accepted for auditor track. So am I in? or am I not?
Hey, that's fascinating. Would love to chat more.

I'd love to see H1B completely done away with. Transferrable visas for non-immigrant status freely available in exchange for a fairly massive bond and annual fee ($50-100k/yr), and immigrant visas on a much less expensive basis based on merit.
Sorry for the late response: email (K-9 Mail) uses IMAP idle, Signal uses a persistent websocket, and XMPP (Conversations) also uses long-lived TCP connections. I don't use any proprietary messaging apps that rely on Google's push notifications.
In school, I used to wonder how people survived this voyage if they were shackled below the whole trip (3 weeks). Wouldn’t the stores they were in, which were only a few feet high (couldn’t stand up), fill up with feces?

Apparently they were let up on deck for 2 hours a day.

If anyone has any clarification to add to this / that wasn’t in the article, please add.
Java hate is strong out there and clearly blinding.
Why does astroturfing need to come from a large organization? A bunch of like-minded users could be enough depending on the volume of commenting or voting. They also don't need to be paid and even have centralized management.

I've seen a couple of userames popping on these threads all the time. And China related threads have an odd number of new accounts posting comments in them.

It can be people that have to live anonymously lest they have to deal with dictatorships or it can also be the same group of people posting the same opinions all over again.

As for names, there is two users in this thread that are posting in almost every China-related thread for at least a month or so. I won't particularly point to them, since I'm not sure it goes well with the guidelines

Though it didn't happen on HN, the unidan case on reddit is a good example. The guy basically manipulated voting in a large subreddit on his own by using a number of alternative accounts to upvote his own comments.

Anyway, if that is the direction HN is headed and this is regarded as acceptable, then I'm leaving.

I don't tolerate propaganda or people spreading it. This is on the guidelines: "Please don't use Hacker News primarily for political or ideological battle." A bunch of users forget about that and I won't be around a website that goes into it.
It's true that accepting immigrants into the tribe is historically unusual, but that's why it's a distinctive and important feature of American national identity.
IMHO Free software done right: http://onehouronelife.com/ (except the call to action is below the fold :-P)

Warning: past the home page, there is some possibly NSFW content. The game defaults to having some cartoon nudity (although there is a non-nudity mod) when the players haven't made clothes, so you might see some pictures of that if you dig around.

It's a game. He puts all the code (and assets) in the public domain. You can go to github and download it and build it for free if you want. But on the website: $20 please. He tells you exactly what you get: lifetime server account, all future updates, full source code, tech support.

Although the forum is not exactly a haven of mature discussion (in fact, it's downright awful at times), I've not even seen one complaint that "I could have got it for free". In fact, there have been several discussions where people say, "$20 is too high. Is there any way to get a discount?" and the reply is "You can download the code for free and play on these free servers". Inevitably the person says, "But I want the official version. I guess I'll pay the $20".

No idea how much money he's made so far, but for a 1 person indy game, he's done astonishingly well: https://onehouronelife.com/newsPage.php?postID=377 (description of sales in the first 2 weeks last March). According to other posts he's made in the forum (which I can't find), sales have continued to be brisk.

If you want to charge for downloading the official build of free software, then do it. Even the FSF will cheer you on (as long as you include source code ;-) ).
I use a Synology personal server, but an older one. I have been considering upgrading to a more modern version. Do you remember about when this nagging began? Was it related to a firmware upgrade or was it "right out of the box"?
The redesign is terrible. Saddens me.

Why not?

>It results in stuff like the Iranian revolution.

Also resulted in the greatest era in human history in terms of peace and prosperity.

I think it's hard being at the top and maintaining global order. You get blamed for everything and you get credit for nothing.
That's only a partial solution. It may be a user agent or a queuing system (or anything else sitting between a person clicking the button and where the final transaction is recorded) that attempts a retry.
I don't mean to rag on reddit specifically, but it seems like another example of traffic light statuses being useless. Github had similar examples. I don't get why anyone uses them.
I've seen this done previously. It gets arduous to maintain a large list of cron jobs, teach everyone how to add new ones, rebuild the cron box and redeploy on updates to config management.

Just use Jenkins, until you outgrow Jenkins. Then use a distributed scheduler.
I like your design.
The difference between the US and China is the US makes the bases to cement alliances (well mostly), which is why the US is wanted in those countries. China is doing it to cement their hegemony, which the populous of host countries are not too impressed with.
Then you just have job reclassification. It doesn’t work. Only money talks.
They lost me at Hackers. Badly acted unwatchable garbage.
As technology advances, it seems there will be a need for less work hours.
Not yet, though it seems.
Interesting, isn't Jenkins mostly used for internal builds? I have a hard time imagining using it for things like marketing email cron jobs.
Ask HN: Bait and switch after long, arduous job search for SWE, any advice?
hey HN, I was bait and switched into product support after thinking I had finally scored my first software engineer job. Happy to go into the details but that about sums it up. I was hired in a batch of about 10 in this particular location, and I have another coworker (fresh ivy league grad) in the exact same situation.

What are my options? I'm a career shifter and this search has been difficult to say the least. I'd like to think I'm a good candidate (math/cs graduate from a target school, made it to the hiring committee at G (didn't pass due to one meh round), ~15 years in a technical role), but the bay area job market for junior SWEs is brutal.

I don't think this is going to resolve well, our boss has said there is no reassignment; and while we are scheduled to talk to an exec, I'm certain she's going to toe the company line. Any advice?
I'd like to add that part of the factor that's driving down wages is the fact that workers from countries with cheap/subsidized higher-level education can get a bachelor's degree for under $5000 (total), meaning that a student from a foreign country getting a master's degree from an American university graduates with around 1/3 the total debt that an American student would. That advantage makes it more feasible to take lower paying jobs in the first place, thus broadening the talent pool, which inherently drives wages down.
...if the batch is the thing that doesn't fit in RAM, as opposed to the model.
What is your definition of "locked", then?
There is a specific part of the hypothalamus called the arcuate nucleus. It lacks a blood brain barrier, because the neurons there have a special function to sense blood-born hormones like insulin and leptin. When sensed, the brain interprets this as a "full tank of gas" and suppresses appetite while increasing metabolism.

Since theres no blood brain barrier here, these neurons get damaged easily due to things in the blood. When that happens, they don't see leptin anymore, and obesity develops. Fructose and high fat diets have both been shown to cause inflammation here. (hypothalamic gliosis)

heres a random selection of many papers
http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/content/65/3/551.figure...

We also know that certain viruses show up in obese people (adenovirus36). As the field develops, I would not be surprised if labs demonstrate both viral infection of the hypothalamic ARC and damage by endocrine disruptors there.
It was a gigantic mistake on our part. We sent out emails that accepted everyone that was rejected and rejected everyone that was accepted. It was a big boolean fuckup and we're deeply sorry.

As for whether you're in or not - stay tuned. People have been working feverishly on this for several hours and an announcement is almost ready.
> These are actually considered equivalent in modern political discourse

Not true. Especially not in Europe.

> hit that Merriam-Webster link in the parent

Unfortunately, Merriam-Webster has it wrong in this case. Social democracy is not a synonym for democratic socialism. The two are very different ideologies with very different goals. As stated in the Wikipedia article for social democracy (with accompanying references):

"Social democracy is a political, social and economic ideology that supports economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a liberal democratic polity and capitalist economy... Social democracy became associated with Keynesian economics, state interventionism and the welfare state, while abandoning the prior goal of replacing the capitalist system (factor markets, private property and wage labor) with a qualitatively different socialist economic system... By the post-World War II period, most social democrats in Europe had abandoned their ideological connection to Marxism and shifted their emphasis toward social policy reform in place of transition from capitalism to socialism." [emphasis added]

Contrast this with the article for democratic socialism:

"Democratic socialism is further distinguished from social democracy on the basis that democratic socialists are committed to systemic transformation of the economy from capitalism to socialism, whereas social democracy is supportive of reforms to capitalism... As socialists, democratic socialists believe that the systemic issues of capitalism can only be solved by replacing the capitalist system with a socialist system—i.e. by replacing private ownership with social ownership of the means of production."

In summary, social democracy grew out of a movement that advocated transitioning from capitalism to socialism, but ultimately rejected such a transition in favor of working within a capitalist economy. Democratic socialism, on the other hand, advocates for the abolition of capitalism and private property. It does not reflect the present policies of Denmark and Germany, given that neither intends to abolish private property and transition to a socialist economy.
As thisacctforreal mentioned, both the PIN and the device UID are used to generate the actual encryption key. Even if someone were to get access to the UID, the amount of processing to generate an encryption key for each PIN possibility would be costly, so it may be the case that simply bruteforcing would take prohibitively long.

I know that on an iOS device itself, if passcode attempt limits didn't exist, it takes a whole 90 milliseconds to check each passcode. That's only 10 passcode attempts a second, and if the passcode is sufficiently long, it could take years.
I don't think renewable energy will solve all our upcoming issues, trying to keep our current global population fed and living nicely. (Plastic contamination of the biosphere, food production capabilities, deforestation for farmland & renewable crops, climate migration, etc.)
True as it is, the limited data is mostly due to criminalization in the US preventing comprehensive analysis. This is especially true for the less severe conditions (of which you mentioned several) where well studied alternative remedies are effective and plentiful. The severity of suffering assosiated with epilepsy, the limited effectiveness and heavy side effects of previously available treatments and the peculiar effectiveness of cannibus eventually resulted in conscientious objection and civil disobedience which resulted in much more of that data becoming available.

I'm not disagreeing, just noting that opium made lots of people feel good long before the why was well understood (and well capitalized...). I look forward to reading more about it years from now, once we get past the Rumspringa phase of gummy bear concentrates at the gas station and drizzled over you're starbucks latte :-<

Yeah, but it looks crappy because you can't extract information behind the edges of foreground objects.

From the sec complaint

> Defendants at all relevant times were investment advisers within the meaning of Section 202(a)(11) of the Advisers Act [15 U.S.C. § 80b-2(a)(11)].

My personal guess: that law makes various actions (self-dealing, lying about what investment funds are being used for, non-arms-length transactions, etc) crimes instead of civil torts.

Plus, you know, just plain fraud.
Please stay tuned. People at YC are determined to make this right.
Reddit's nagging has been very user-hostile for a while now, especially on mobile.

Dark patterns like the big red button saying "CONTINUE" that opens the App Store, instead of letting you continue on the website.

The "redesign" is a buggy waste of screen space which loads noticeably slower and also, I think, prevents subreddits from having rich sidebars or custom themes, hindering the original promise of serving unique sub-communities.

I always use "old.reddit.com" to force the "classic" site but it still keeps jumping back to the redesign in some places like certain user profiles.

This frontend assault combined with the deplorable meatspace behavior like the Reddit admin(s) secretly editing user comments [0], threatening better apps for "stealing" their icon [1], among other scumminess [2], I think it's nigh approaching its Digg Moment.

The problem with this whinging narrative is that it ignores the humbling reality that someone must first attest 'rightness' for the bulk of uninterested/uneducated society. That chore is inherently political and therefore unrealistic to expect impartially executed.

This would be awesome. I’m sure all founders would love just a little insight on why they were rejected so that they can try to address the shortcomings.

What are they using instead? cri-o? rkt?
Hackernews is worse as even if you email them they won't delete your account unless there is some issue actually causing you a problem.
Is this a viable alternative to Docker? I’m about to launch a fairly large new project and had planned on going with Docker but this definitely causes me concern.
Things that may or may not be true:

1) Google and other bigtech are essentially private sector branches of the U.S. intelligence community.

2) Google,Facebook and other not-so-famous companies are interested in not just behavioral analytics but also in behavior control and modification.

3) Google and Facebook can do a lot worse and get away with it,so long as they do it slowly. It's not thay they want world domination or just making more money,they're more concerned abour control. Making things more predictable,not leaving important decisions and situations to chance and free will. Of course some individuals have political ambitions (Eric Schmidt's new america initiative for example).

4) Whoever controls them,controls the country and western civilization. Even the greatest men will find that kind of power too difficult to wield without selfish and malicious intent.

It's history stuck in a for loop,rulers vs the ruled.
It's trivially parallelized if you've got the data and the device uid extracted. Combined with more powerful cpus, it could easy end up 10k pins per second if you can try to decrypt it (or verify it) externally. Combine that with most people's lackluster pin selection and length you've probably got the ability to unlock a phone in a few minutes to hours.

>In school, I used to wonder how people survived this voyage if they were shackled below the whole trip

They didn't. You have to understand that African slaves were seen as cargo, not human beings. A good percentage would die every single time, and be thrown overboard. This was just accepted as part of the cost of doing business, the same way chicken breeders ship baby chickens in the mail today with the expectation that some will die in transit. The few that die off are more than made up for in profits by your ability to jam as many as possible into one shipment.

It's one of those facts that really makes the transatlantic slave trade stand out as perhaps the worst genocide in human history. It wasn't just killing. It was the industrial scale treatment of millions of human beings as cattle for over 300 years.
Maybe I don't necessarily understand what you mean by "traffic light statuses" but I feel like the red=down; yellow=issues; green=all-good; indicators are pretty effective at quickly and concisely communicating the status of a service to the general public.

I don't see that as useless? Unless you are talking about such a system for the internal infra team. I doubt that they are looking at this public-facing "traffic light status" page, however.
I don't have a phone capable of RAW images, but it's not a focus of the camera's design for those that have it, unlike professional cameras, so the bit depth will be low and it will expose the high ISO noise before "smart" denoising is applied when taking JPEG.
I think there are differences.

However over the last 20 years, most immigration, of both kinds, have been about one thing: reduced labor costs.

At the risk of downvotes, I’m going to include something Steve Bannon said on MSNBC last night about legal immigration. He made this point that it makes no sense for America to keep letting the best and brightest of the world in / draining them from everywhere else. Why aren’t we refusing the really good immigrants if anything? Those are the people we want in their home countries setting up fair and stable systems. Having them here is, after a certain point, kind of greedy.

Also free trade was supposed to fix this by also requiring companies to adhere to strict safety and labor laws, which would make labor prices more even. It never happened.
You're right. It was very far from cool.
It just lets you abstract the container. You can use it to build docker or LXC, etc. if a new container comes out you will be able to build that too.
