Regarding your private sector point:

I looked into contracting in the UK for a national agency a couple of years back. The day-rates they proffering were almost double a London day-rate (before negotiation; I can only imagine what could have been secured). There's a deeply invasive interview process but they would cheerfully pay outrageous amounts to secure talent (and I wasn't even particularly good!). I assume not many people have the skill-set they're after and even fewer pass the checks. Perhaps it's different in the US but that was very much the state of affairs in the UK circa 2015

My policy - you can do whatever you want, incl. working 30 minutes per day, as long as your boss is happy with your performance. If at any time the boss points out that you're not as efficient as he'd like, you can choose to either work harder or find another job.

This approach makes the job contract fair - the boss pays you the minimum amount (or close to it) that you find acceptable, and in exchange you work the minimum amount (or close to it) that he considers acceptable. No reasonable businessman expects you to be killing yourself while working for him - they certainly can _hope_ that you will, but they know that it requires a sucker.
I am expanding the idea that I posited above, to use the USPTO, for one canonical answer for every query concerning the identity of business services on the Internet...

This involves providing both clear identity confirmation and the Favicon, to the browser, from USPTO managed servers, to visually green light to the user, the correct online correspondent.

Schools are a excellent arbiter of the quality and integrity of known correspondents online.

Nota bene, I say known correspondents, I am limiting this idea to whitelist sites and services only.

Color borders surrounding each Favicon, can briefly flash.

I want as a parent, to need only glance at the top left corner of the browser that my son is using. Kids don't want my criticism of what they find a engaging experience. My colleagues don't want my analytical views of their Economist newspaper reading, for that matter...But I think it would be great to see really one look response to a parent's concern. This animation can be enlivened by a cursor across the toolbar or similar gesture. "No worries, dad" is a great positive action to encourage. Because it's not about censorship, it's about learning what authenticity is.

I imagine a nice modern pulsating heartbeat that's restful, for a positive identification of a trusted correspondent, and a fluttering and increasingly flashy, insistent nagging for a warning.

I will add to my wishlist, the ability to sign a local whitelist sites database, complete with ticketing system, to which the kids are able to submit the arguments for, for example, sites and blogs that are not within the penumbral enclave of this identity umbrella.

TLDR: You don't need to manage state in the client now; manage state in the server by making more API requests. And GraphQL makes that a bit easier. Oh and you still need to manage state in the client.

> If anyone believes individual cashiers asking for maternity leave is a good way to get it, I've got a bridge you might also be interested in buying.

Sequoia is referring implicitly to the significant difference in power and efficacy of individual vs collective bargaining in the United States. Collective bargaining (e.g. unionization -> union negotiations) has long been a way for workers to effect more change in workplace conditions and compensation than they would otherwise be able to, alone.

Paid maternity leave is a luxury in the United States.

The bridge comment implies gullibility.
I hate it for web apps. Material design is designed primarily for simpler interfaces with a small screen and imprecise inputs, yet I use most web apps from my desktop or laptop where I have a large screen and very precise input methods. You cannot consolidate the two.

I'm not a fan of material design for mobile applications either. I find the animations obnoxious and annoying. It has also been my experience that mobile applications tend to have incredibly low information density and they require jumping through tons of hoops to perform even simple tasks. If I have the choice of installing a mobile app or using its website I always use the website.
Absolutely brilliant!
I love hackernews for these kind of gems.
Because there's no exception for parody and fair use.

Because there's no penalties for falsely taking down content (like Sony taking down an amateur recording of Beethoven/Bach)

It targets content sharing networks, it's not simply about "what you publish in your own website" and it makes the platforms liable, not who uploaded it.
You're right. It's not very different and I think this is perfectly legal if you register as an ATS and comply with Reg ATS. Reg ATS is not even all that onerous if you are already a broker dealer, but at a minimum it includes reporting trades correctly and telling your customers you may take the other side of their trades.

It is a "technical" crime. There are good reasons to regulate ATSs, and the brokers didn't follow those regulations. Instead of prosecuting the brokers here for an obscure crime like "operating an unregistered ATS", the SEC decided to prosecute them for fraud. Judges know what fraud is and as Matt Levine puts it in other articles, "every financial crime is also securities fraud".
Oh please, piss off. Some of the best commentary I've personally seen about the very real dystopian nightmare slowly being built in China is right here at Hacker News, so if someone wants to take a discussion thread about technology helping tyranny into China territory, i'd call that an excellent fit. If the comments are informative and descriptive of ideas that are relevant to factual events (yes China really is authoritarian and using high technology to become ever more so in many ways) then it's hardly just nationalistic flamewar or insult.
Still, videos on youtube get routinely taken down for using smaller snippets of works.
I sometimes do something similar, I try to do hard sums in my head, multiplication and division of big numbers. I think it has the same effect distracting me from the issues in reality and my mind can get bored / tired.
GraphQL is actually pushing all the complexity to the server; to make a joke using the words in the article, it reduces the frontend coding time to 4 hours while making backend to take 32 hours.

Actually, I also tried to move to GraphQL and still haven't a good fit yet. GraphQL queries are hard to translate to efficient SQL, and there are additional problems to tackle like authorization which is much complicated than the REST model.
I have to say I am surprised and disappointed. Keybase has up until now been a shining example of doing crypto right but still accessible and easy to use. This decision falls strictly on the wrong side of the line of acceptable compromises.

> there were technical reasons why iframes didn’t work, though I forget the details

It could be that there is one or a couple of engineers at Keybase who made this decision and are also the same entity that replied to the bug bounty. It feels like they haven't thought it through properly or brought it up for proper discussion inside the organization. Let's hope that they remedy this and adjust their general approach to this if this gets enough attention.

On the other hand, even if this is addresses, unfortunately it's an indicator that other compromises in this category are done in other parts of Keybase.

> However, with the live coding languages, you can literally redefine the function that is causing grief. More, you can, on the fly, define a new helper function that it should call to handle the current input causing trouble and redefine the method to call over to that.

You can solve the brachistochrone problem using Fermat's principle, as shown in the 3blue1brown video GP is referring to. Since you're looking for the shortest time, if you can construct a lens where the speed of light is proportional to the speed of the bead on a wire, then the shortest-time wire is the path that light would take by Fermat's principle, and then you can use (an infinitesimal version of) Snell's law to find the direction of the wire at each height.
If an employee is pregnant, no one is forcing the employee to show up for work. When people talk about maternity leave, they usually don't mean the ability to not show up for work (which is a given in a free society), but rather the obligation of the employer to pay the employee whether or not she shows up for work. This meaning of 'maternity leave' is not a legal requirement of employment in the US, though some employers include it. Employers are not and should not be required to pay you for work you are not doing. If maternity leave is important to an employee, it's important to negotiate it when arranging employment, or failing that, negotiate a high enough salary that you can afford to save for a couple months without income.

As of 1993, companies with 50 employees or more must offer unpaid maternity leave.

Google does not need to track anyone. Google needs to sell ads, and Google needs to be perceived as the best place to spend your advertising budged.

What business case is there for Google to work hard at tracking people, defeating anti-tracking measures? There is a cost to doing that, and I don't see a financial incentive for doing it.

There are certainly business cases for Google to not defeat anti-tracking measures, as collecting that sort of data is a liability. However, per previous lawsuits like the mapping cars sniffing WIFI data, perhaps they are still just trying to collect everything they can without thought to if it is a benefit, waste, or liability.

Sourcegraph CEO here. @slimsag is the Sourcegrapher who wrote https://github.com/sourcegraph/syntect_server in Rust, based on @trishume's awesome https://github.com/trishume/syntect lib.

He chose to use Rust for many of the same reasons that other people mention in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15324787. I'll ping him in case there are any more details.
Think it’s just inertia. I remember meeting one of the founders at Gophercon a few years ago, and Sourcegraph was either Go only or it was one of the few languages supported / used. Live-blogging gophercons was a great way to get mindshare and do content marketing, and I think they’ve been doing it ever since.
Wow this is gold, thanks :)
I immediately thought of Shavasana from yoga.
Yes, but a lot more working-age adults today make it to 65 than 100 years ago, which is a relevant statistic. Previously you could count on a bigger portion of workers dying before reaching retirement, so you had a smaller pool of retirees to take care of. Today practically every worker makes it to retirement age.
> If Groq chip delivers what its promising then you can bet that it would be integrated within few months in most frameworks and people will soon forget about CUDA.

Groq seems careful not to promise any price point. Even if Groq delivers every promise, if it's expensive its adoption will be chancy.
As someone mentioned above, you absolutely need to sort out your CV. Here's a couple of points that differ from the other commenters:

- make it a one page CV
- remove any work experience that's not relevant
- write in active voice about each experience. Quantifying your contributions
- remove hobbies, particularly anything related to religion. It's not relevant, and is recommended not to include such personal info in your CV.
- only show your undergraduate degree. No one cares about GDE (unless applying to grad school) or your high school grades.
- remove personal interests; no one cares. It's distracting from selling your work experience.
- remove references and write "available on request". Background check happen after interviews.
- remove languages unless relevant to the job.
- remove volunteering experience; why on earth have you included CouchSurfng there?
- remove your address. Too personal.
- add link to your LinkedIn.
- remove objective. This should come through in your experience what you're interested in.
- remove those images. They offer no value to the ready and take up 20% of both pages.

You find jobs by applying. That simple. Your CV must sell your work experience as valuable to the employee and current yours does not.

Assume employers will spend 30 seconds skimming it before deciding if you will get a chance. Your current CV does not cut it.
Now I wonder why some folk would not approve of that. Interesting!
I think it was Weierstrass who first gave a proper definition in terms of epsilon / delta (e,d). To say it more precisely:

We say that the limit

lim x -> c f(x) = L,

if for all e > 0, there exists a d, such that for all x, if

| x - c | < d,

then

| f(x) - L | < e.
It’s also a great product. It’s like Github with code exploration / jump to source / find usages.
Finding my Identity Thief?
Someone stole $2000 out of my bank account back in March of this year. The detective on the case never cared to follow up on anything we gave her. I had a phone number on my credit report from a credit card they tried to get. I sent messages to the the phone which is a voip number on the GoTextMe app. I received messages back from the person for a few weeks, I acted like I knew them.

Finally I sent a link to obtain an ip address. They clicked it and I never heard back from them after I sent that.

How can I find out more information on the people who stole from me. I do understand a law enforcement request would be needed for Gotextme to provide more info and also the isp Spectrum would need one. Currently, law enforcement doesn't care and the case is inactive now. How can I go about it and without a lawyer.

+++++++++++++++++++

Things we know.

- Video Footage we saw for a split second at the police station. We believe its a Honda Accord, dark colored.

- 3 people in the car. 2 guys and 1 girl who did the transaction through the drive through at the bank. Bad video quality.

- Voip phone number from GoTextMe found on a credit card application days after the bank money was stolen.

- Spectrum ip address. Was obtained by me sending a link...they clicked on it.

- I used geo ip location services and they are all over the place in locations.

- Was locked out of my bank account before it happened, someone may have known my password.

- On the bank account the phone number was changed to an old employer I once worked at years ago. I have a strong suspicion it could be someone I know.

- Prior year someone stole my wallet out of my car, 2 of those suspects were found, I did not know them.

Any ideas? Any help?
Secrets for Finding New Customers from Top CEOs
No idea who made it, though funny enough a group I participate in is making a map to try to show people how much nicer their commutes would be if our city built the bike network they've supposedly planned. Maybe this is a start for something similar? Would be curious what people find useful (bart and muni stops would be handy, for one)

> If an employee is pregnant, no one is forcing the employee to show up for work. When people talk about maternity leave, they usually don't mean the ability to not show up for work (which is a given in a free society), but rather the obligation of the employer to pay the employee whether or not she shows up for work.

Well, there's two kinds of mandatory maternity leave:

Job protected leave, in which the employee is entitled to be returned to work after their leave, which may or may not be paid, and

Paid leave, in which the employee is entitled to pay while on leave, whether or not they are entitled to return to work (in principle; in practice, mandated paid leave is usually also job protected.).

The US (for some employees of some employers) has federally-guaranteed job protected maternity (and paternity) leave, but no federal mandate for paid leave for either. Some states have additional job protected leave mandates and/or paid leave mandates.
