Doesn't look like they have Zero-access encryption. My guess is that they can save money on storage though mass marketing emails that share the same contents, attachements, etc.

IBM has been dead since the 90's. Back when Lou Gerstner supposedly "saved" IBM from death he actually didn't, back then Real IBM the thing we think of as IBM actually died, and instead Zombie IBM took it's place (zIBM). zIBM is run as you say, like a hedge fund. Making products is incidental to zIBM and it doesn't care what it makes as long as somebody will pay (so it doesn't care if it's products are good or even usable). zIBM also implemented this infamous stack ranking system, the executives are terrible, and there are so many layers between management and action on the ground that the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing.

Management is so insulated from whats actually happening by all these layers nobody can effectively steer the organization, there are so many divisions and people that nobody can really track what is happening. The only thing that zIBM is actually really good at is managing its share price, and crafting it's artisinal financial statements so that nobody actually has any idea how bad it's doing. But we all know that zIBM revenue is declining for almost 10 years, so it's going to be a long slow crawl to zIBMs true final fiscal death.
You can change the time zone or simultaneously change all schedules for all public transport, all schools, all kindergartens, all universities, all hospitals, all work places, all industries, all radio & TV channels, and so forth and so on.

I hope you get the point.
I vaguely remember my computer arch course in college describing how everything we have today essentially suffers from the von neumann bottleneck, that even if we implemented a lambda calculus machine, it would still suffer from this bottleneck. Has this been revisited in academia lately? I am a bit out of touch, but this always interested me.

I don't believe the parent is not saying that, they are saying these employers are using age as a metric but calling it 'skills'. In which case they better be able to explain what these supposed skills are.

Or the fact that the older people at my job still barely know how to type or use the printer or heaven forbid, scan to email! Even though they've had decades to learn it?

Im not a young dev anymore, but I can see why the older crowd has the rap they do. It doesn't make ageism right, at all.. but I can understand how it has happened.

An entire generation of people like me who have heard our older loved ones say they need their "foxfire" fixed or whatever.

10 years ago this was more palatable. Now a days it is dissolving as more older people learn the technology and more older people want to learn the technology. I personally never want to stop learning. My colleague is well into his 50's and still takes college course in math and CS. It has challenged my own personal prejudices and pushes me to be better as well.
Do you have a source for farmers liking it?

Every reference that I have seen agrees with https://agamerica.com/myth-vs-fact-daylight-saving-time-farm... that farmers don't like DST. In fact the original reason to introduce it was to save energy, and it doesn't do that either.

I know that I will vote for the repeal.
I don't think the suggestion is to not hire based on skill but rather to ignore age as any kind of requirement for the position.

Mr. President, we must not allow... a mine shaft gap!
No, it's not weird - that's exactly where the fallacy is. Getting millions of people slowly poisoned by pollution gets less weight than a dozen of people directly hurt by radiation. For example, Three Mile Island incidents had essentially zero casualties (yes, including study of cancer incidence increase, which did not find any significant increase) but everybody has heard about it (and it essentially killed new nuclear development in the US). Try to find out how much morbidity random coal plant is causing, and pretty much nobody knows or cares.
If you do intermittent fasting (16-24h), you can eat it during the non-fasting periods and it should help with muscle loss. Also, you can do HIIT during longer fasts to keep muscles "in demand" so that proteins aren't recycled by your body to usual extent. There was some study about it somewhere...
The EU does a lot to improve peoples lives. You can see the 2018 state of the union here[1].

I particularly like the fact they got rid of all roaming charges, the digital market changes, the digital skills coalition, 30% renewable energy target (especially) and the EU labour authority. Sure, they do some seemingly silly things, but at their scale anyone would.

It might not be a good metric, but it's still overly generous to coal, because we're already rushing headlong towards huge areas of coastline being uninhabitable because they'll be underwater.
Because EU members, when they joined, signed away some rights for the privilege of being part of the EU, since you know, EU membership comes with a ton of benefits.

Some of these rights that have been delegated to the EU are economical, and time zone management probably falls in the EU jurisdiction.

And, as the other poster mentioned, standardization is good.

At no point since the invention of timezones has Europe (the continent) been in a single timezone. Even if you only look at the EU, only time all of the EU was in the same timezone, was back in 1957 when "Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and West Germany signed the Treaty of Rome, which created the European Economic Community (EEC)", and it wasn't even called EU. I would wonder which library makes that assumption.

The 35 hour work week is mostly implemented by getting additional vacation (on top of the base 25 days off) and (at least for engineers) some contractually agreed overtime (that is already included in the yearly salary you negociate).

For example, I have a legal 35 hour per week contract with 38h30 of work per week, the difference being compensated by about 15 additional days off and the rest paid in overtime.

Where I work (large private company) working from 9 to 18/19 with a good hour of lunch break is quite standard (with administrative people tending to work more form 8 to 17).
Well it's certainly not as fast as a real quantum computer would be. The advantage it has over similar-scale real quantum computers is that it exists.

It's tool to help find resources related to subject of your interest.

If you read some interesting article and would love to explore this subject (to write article about it or because you're just curious) you paste it to ScanSpider and it will scan Reddit and HackerNews, find discussions about it and extract webpages mentioned in these discussions to read more.

What do you think about this idea? I thought it could be great tool for journalists to collect information about given subject and context in which people are talking about it.

Do you see any other groups that could use something like this?
A more subtle problem, besides employers not willing to pay with money, is that, more often than not, they can't actually "pay" with interesting work (or experience or growth or something similar).

Complaining about companies thinking (or just saying) they have "big data" when all they have is moderately-sized data is more common on HN now. What's more, even the very low bar of "fits in main memory" increases rapidly enough that "big" from a couple years ago might not be any more.

Yes you're right, but it feels like its just a matter of time. Lots of companies rely on old IBM platforms now, but every year there are fewer. It isn't sustainable.

I think dentists often keep short hours because they like them.

Plenty of other businesses do hire lots of part time people and manage their hours in order to avoid obligations. If you don't think that is true, well, I don't even know where to start.
> but the federal government doesn't allow a state to permanently be in PDT.

I mean this sincerely: I don't understand how the federal government gets away with stuff like this. I don't see where DST is in the constitution. And according to the 10th Amendment[0], that means that decision belongs to the States or the People, right? So the federal government, I suppose, could make the law, but the states should have the ability to say no to anything the Feds say without an Amendment being passed. What am I missing here?

I don't buy this. Sunset/sunrise times change year round. If you shift the time by one hour you are still going to have a few weeks where the sun is in your eyes in the morning or evening, it'll just shift when that happens by some number of days

Have you LOOKED at how much civil time moves around? Heck, the discrepancy changes as you physically move around.

In a few thousand years they can change timezones ONCE to deal with leap seconds adding up. It won't even count as noise next to how much happens for random political reasons.
The states alone cannot, because the time zones are set by Federal regulation. See https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=6a1a124065df269aff....
They could offer to retrain these people in new technology instead of just laying them off and hiring new people. I learn at least one or two new technologies with every job change I make, and I'm not even usually given formal training. With formal training policies I'm sure they could shift employees to other projects and then keep their domain knowledge, but because they're old and more expensive than the young'ns, we'll just claim they don't have the skills for the new jobs and lay them off instead, and save that money!

Domain knowledge and experience is criminally underrated nowadays. A company I've worked for is currently going through one fire after another constantly because the executives haven't valued domain knowledge and has forced or outsourced just about everyone who knows anything about the projects that they still have paying clients for and need to support to keep making revenue, and things are just barely not falling completely apart (looks like things are going to get worse here pretty soon though).

And this isn't even ageism, really, even the young devs that have only been there a couple of years are being forced out.
"Farmers, contrary to the strange and completely false belief that DST was created for them, actually despise it: Their schedules are entirely run by sunlight rather than the clock..."

Seriously, arguments for DST are absolutely ridiculous. In the summer when the days are longest it kicks in, which is pointless. In the winter when days are shorter it's not active.

Throw DST into the trash where it belongs.
Let me clarify some things a bit. GNUstep is a libraries and set of tools for development: Makefile environment (gnustep-make), Gorm (Interface Builder) and ProjectCenter (Project Builder). NEXTSPACE's Workspace was written from scratch and has no any connection to GWorkspace. Workspace and WindowMaker is one application (binary) - it is not "repackaged GNUstep and WindowMaker". Patches for WindowMaker was a quite challenging part of Workspace development process. WindowMaker injected into Workspace minimally uses WINGs.
Probably some interstate commerce clause justification.
A lot of technology sometimes break. We still use it. We routinely travel in steel boxes whizzing around at breakneck speeds where any serious mechanical malfunction or error leads to a quick death or very painful long term injury - and millions get hurt this way every year - but we take this risk because the rewards are higher. But with radiation somehow no reward is worth the risk - its radiation, how could you dare to rationally calculate risk/rewards if people can die!!!!11one1oen That's what I call "irrational".
Delete is not (or only very poorly) supported in git as well. For almost all use cases this is correct way.
To be more complete and precise, they use GPS to condition a rubidium clock. For several reasons it isn't a good idea to take timing directly from GPS without a highly stable local oscillator if you are using the output over long or continuous periods.
No, they don't. The only reason they make money is that they have connections and in's at large organizations and access to lucrative government contracts. Many governments only deal with IBM scale organizations because for some reason they think that they can sue IBM if something goes wrong! (lololol) That idea is so ridiculous, IBM has some of the best lawyers around (and a literal army of them), there's NO WAY to sue IBM, it's not possible, and even doing so would be so costly and time consuming it would be a Pyrrhic victory at best.
But we should do whatever makes things better, not just consider whatever we could do.
I quoted a number of those stories in my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15876947#15893800
Hmm, there's plenty I don't like about my current workplace but whenever there are layoffs, they seem to disproportionately axe middle management, especially senior managers to the VP level. It got so bad that in 3 years I had 6 managers.
It isn't irrational to fear radiation, but what is irrational is the level of fear, and also the fear in context with other dangers that we face that nuclear helps to solve.

I don't think that I'm out of line in suggesting that Global Climate Change is a much larger threat than even several Chernobyl incidents. The constant coverage, even to this day, about the Chernobyl incident has caused an availability heuristic in the collective psyche of man, and exacerbates the largest issues that we actually face.
There are negative stereotypes about inexperienced (young) workers also. Stupidity happens at all levels, and I could tell stories for months.
YC Startup School Diary – Week 3
You might have edited the comment after I read it. Or maybe I just read too quickly. In my view, the field of economics is more defined by journal articles and discussions among economists than by textbooks. For many economists, a theory is more compelling if it is accompanied by a formal model, an illustration of the implied dynamics, and a discussion of how observed history is (in)consistent with those dynamics.
"Series 1" is not the original Apple Watch model. Confusingly, that's officially named "Apple Watch First Generation" and colloquially called "Series 0".

When they released the Series 2 with better processor, GPS, brighter screen and better waterproofing, they simultaneously killed the "Series 0" and launched the Series 1 as the low price model. It got the new processor but not the other improvements.

That leaves the Series 0 as the only one with the original crappy processor, and support for that has been dropped in watchOS 5.

"On devices without 3D Touch, touch and hold the keyboard Space bar to turn your keyboard into a trackpad"

This is subtle but huge. One of the main reasons to get a phone with 3D touch is/was the ability to easily move your cursor when typing. This makes the XR model (which lacks 3D touch) a lot more enticing.
Obviously, things would confusing to the point where it might not make sense to make the switch. However, after all the chaos, everyone's intuition would adjust to match their local longitude.

It would be a little awkward to decide what "time" to start the day though, but it's not like midnight is the greatest time to start a day either.

I know this is against the bandwagon but still: it was just fine the way it was. Changing the clocks (that is, society's timetable) to match the suntime is a good idea. And countries should absolutely have the freedom to choose what suits them best.

Now we're going to have to pick either summer time or winter time, to be on all year. Pick the latter? Bye-bye awesome summer afternoons with the sun setting down at 8:30. Pick the former? Say hello to waking up in darkness with the sun rising at 9 during winter.

I find it difficult to believe that IBM didn't see that one coming. I mean, what were they thinking? "They won't notice the pattern anyway!" IBM HR, probably. Were they really that careless? Or is it that somebody detected a wee disproportionality in numbers and thought "let's sue them!" There are no numbers nor details in that article beside 20,000 and "thousands" indicating how bad the discrimination really is.

Some FUD here, both Android and iOS (and Windows Phone, when it was a thing) have these advertising identifiers.

Both platforms allow you to disable tracking and/or reset the identifier to something new.

However, if you disable tracking on Android, it just changes the value of another variable called (to the effect of) "Ad tracking enabled" and you are politely asked to not "target ads" towards that ID. It's important to note here, that nothing ever stops you, you're just asked to. You can still harvest data, you can still analyse and sell it, but you just can't advertise back to them.

In comparison, disabling Ad tracking on iOS gives you the zeroed out advertising ID (which is shared with everyone else who opts out, which means you blend into the crowd (which makes that data more difficult to usefully separate and analyse).

Pretty sure Apple doesn't let you bundle dozens of Advertising SDK's that harvest everything by default either.
