This is probably true if it's a Google subsidiary doing it. But there are a lot of caveats here. Presumably US based Google employees are included in this Chinese search engine project, so there should be some legal way for the US government to involve itself if it wanted to.

Not saying they should, just that a law could be written, if I've doesn't already exist, that would make it problematic.

wow. i am blown away, this is what i've been looking for for the past few months. thank you so much. i was trying to figure out how to build and deploy and app ant he "Build a Full Stack Twitter Clone with Coding Garden" was extremely helpful. If you have similar suggestions for tutorials on how to build and deploy apps (ideally to AWS) please send them my way!
It also needs to survive a couple of years at the bottom of the ocean or a similarly extreme environment and still be readable afterwards.
I was super excited by this because I do most of my writing in Google docs. But then I realized how much other information is in my Google docs! What are the privacy implications of signing up? If this project happened to be taken over by an evil villian, could they snoop my docs?
You would also need to have better public transportation, so all those people don’t have to drive to work. As it is, it can take an hour to get to work from the Sunset to SOMA. And, if the commute is going to be that long anyway, why not just live in the East Bay and pay less in rent?

You can whitelist but it isn't easy for non-technical users and becomes a huge chore.

And this story is 100% accurate. I'll try and find it.
Long ago someone stuffed a Scheme(-ish?) interpreter into Linux, but I don't think it went anywhere. I forget the details, but it may have used the SIOD implementation. I'd prefer it in a microkernel's userspace, though...
And this is bad for the future of citizens and corporations of the US, especially if it continues, because Chinese firms will use this to compete vigorously with the US firms that spent the time and money developed the tech. Much of the WSJ's readership has a vested interest in that not coming to pass. That's "so what".
I’m curious what the state of their affairs is today. 2012-2018 is a huge amount of time in tech world and I’m curious what improvements they’ve made.
I'd assume like cameras used at sporting events the lens would be covered by a clear plastic film on a roll, which can be moved to get a clean section. A bit like those toilet seat covers in airports, ironically.
In the MBP case you just waited for ~7 days for the fix to be delivered to you automatically. In this case you figure out how to update your BIOS under linux which is often non-trivial and then figure out how to install this which has a bunch of caveats: https://github.com/erpalma/lenovo-throttling-fix . There doesn't seem to be any indication what a 'real' fix is and whom is going to provide it.

Which one is 'MUCH easier' is up to you.
Duh, he owns the company. You sold it.

FB needs to show xx% growth or else it's toast. So they start looking under couch cushions for pennies...
Why does it mean that?

It certainly means that it's possible, but of course it was potentially possible before, and the code is, afaik, open source, so you're free to look and see if they really are.

As for non-tracking reasons why this change: it improves the us for users who use multiple accounts or share accounts on a single system.

Sometimes things are just because they want a more useful product.
Common tactic here on HN is to call politics you disagree with "political." I was even banned for this reason: for leaving "political" comments in political threads. Why not just be honest about it being different from your politics? One way to prevent all "flamewars" is to prevent all opinions that can be deemed offensive - and doesn't a quick appraisal of history reveal the issues with this oppressive strategy?

Even in tech companies, you silence opposing opinions about how a technology should work and you potentially ruin the company. I've seen this in startups many times - the problems that we read about after a startup has failed were raised early on by certain members, often who were ignored, fired, and ridiculed for having such opinions.
If it comes to something like that, I try to abstract it as much as possible (1. For my own soul, 2. Practicality) so it can be fixed with a drop in.

Still end up writing a slightly nihilistc/suicidal commit message for the addition...
You are lucky! Argentina is over 3 months (!)

Blogging more is a great idea! Especially technical blogging. You might think there's a lot of content out there, but the percentage of developers that also write for people is small.

I've had recruiters mention my blog [1] and Stack Overflow [2] when reaching out. I don't even post much, but I have a handful of technical posts and talks collected there, and I think being able to hand someone a compact "portfolio" of career capital like that is a nice touch.

I feel the same way about answering questions on Stack Overflow by the way. To me every answer to a sufficiently complex question has the potential to be a mini blog post.

Another benefit to you is that it shows that you know what you're talking about. There are a lot of topics that you know well, that your close friends know that you know well, but that strangers on the interwebs don't know you know well.

I have been doing that since may last year, but at beginning I was working much less, maybe max 55h per week.

I have been doing 70h+ per week for 4 weeks now, and I don't think I can do much more, you really feel that working ask a lot of energy.

But to be honest, 55-60h is possible to maintain a very long period of time, since the 26 of september last year, I worked 2682 hours, which is in average 7,34 hours per day, 51,4 hours per week, and I'm not dead (yet)
> not believing in gravity

That metaphor holds if he doesn't believe that the US government has ever obliged a business to do anything; it's objectively true that the USG exists and asserts power over many businesses. But "believe in" there is pretty obviously a claim about desirability, and I think a lot of people don't believe gravity has intrinsic moral value.

Actually, I like this metaphor. Gravity isn't intrinsically moral, but from a human perspective there are certainly right and wrong values. Deimos, where you can accidentally jump into orbit, has too little. Jupiter, where hydrogen is crushed into a metal, has too much. So now we're back to quibbling over the desirable amount of an amoral force, and comparisons to physics haven't changed the situation.

It's true, beefy CPUs and laptops have some conflicting design goals.
This is defeatist. Corporations can be sued in courts, just like people. Their obligations are binding, just like peoples'. There is a little more complexity to signing a deal with a corporation than a natural person because there are multiple sapient interests involved, but that's what lawyers are for.

I never said that companies go around breaking legally binding contracts or there is no recourse if they do. I said you shouldn’t trust a handshake deal when doing any business that amounts to real money. Get it in writing.
This comment should not be flagged. It's just a very unpopular opinion in this forum. Study the difference between popularity and merit. Study the history of popular opinion and how new or different ideas are received versus their merit.

Flagging often amounts to a very harmful type of self-censorship that just constrains conversation to certain worldviews.
Sounds interesting, the big thing for me is GPG support though - U2F is actually my secondary use case. Working on plugins is good, but I'd want to know it was equivalently useful for me.
I completely agree with that when I'm using the laptop unplugged, especially if it's on my lap and I want to get maximum battery life.

However, if I'm sitting at a desk where it's plugged in I would like to get as much performance out of it as I can.

Or save more and put it in a Pi. If you have no idea what your doing it’s a great intro into the world of networking, ssh, Linux and docker, Ansible etc. But yes, this loses the cloud features.

Just like any other country, Russia has several distinct information silos. The older population (like the vast majority of my family) are largely still stuck to the TV and old media for their news, which is tightly controlled by the state. The younger population is on the internet and until recently, the government had been largely hands off with online censorship.

We see the loud online group that grew up after the 90s shitshow but not the rest of the population, which has far more influence and institutional power (for what it's worth). They are far more likely to support Putin for getting the country through that ordeal.
> SF is space constrained

Paris has a population density 3 times that of SF. Manhattan has 4 times.
The environmental impact, sure, but there's also a "keeping up with the Joneses" factor. If people don't flaunt their status, other people won't feel as pressured to either.

I once heard a very wealthy guy complain that "everyone these days wears a Rolex", so he needs to buy something fancier. Well, once every super wealthy person goes out and buys something fancier, then the less wealthy people will want that and the effect trickles down. The fact is that conspicuous consumption is a problem for our society in that it leads people to buy things that they can't afford. By driving a minivan, Brian Acton isn't contributing to that problem as much and I commend him for it.
Fully agree with this, as I pointed out down the thread.

It would be foolish to think you can run a business without legal protection.

That shouldn't prevent one from chasing their dreams though.
I think OP's message paint a darker than necessary paint regarding this.

(Source Currently doing this with a lawyer as a cofounder)
The only sane reason that AirBnb or Uber are worth as much is that they promise to be more efficient than traditional companies. SO the 'market' pays for efficiently and a lot of digital revolution has been all about making existing processes slightly more efficient (Amazon online shopping experience vs physically going to the different shops etc)
So the market definitely value the efficiency where the cost of developing that efficiency does not outweigh the benefits.
Typing speed and cursor refresh are not limiting factors for programmers so there's diminishing return in making text editors refresh >120hz. Simple business logic and OP can lament as much as he wants to but we have limited resources, mostly time and that time is usually better spent writing business logic than optimising text editor for the 100th time.
Right, my comment is more directed at people who are somewhat tech savy and a response to the parent's comment about static site generators. I'm echoing and advocating how easy they are.

And the comment is directed at people reading hacker news, so a majority are probably tech savy enough to glue together some CSS, small html templates, and markdown.
No, it's not a symbol of white power, it's just a symbol employed by many white supremacists.

>Nobody would invest millions into figuring out the right arrangement of atoms that cures some disease

Sure they would. It's called public research, most of which is promptly handed to private companies to profit from. Pharmaceutical research is hugely taxpayer subsidized.[1]

Let me be clear: I think the funding is a good thing, but the privatization (read: theft) of subsequent profits is bad.

From what I understand, some features on the USG aren't available unless you manipulate some JSON files, whereas they're exposed in the UI in the Edge Routers.
Negotiating that clause in there in the first place is extremely customer/user friendly and I can't believe they were able to do it. I have never heard of this before, especially for such a high profile acquisition...to a known ad company.
It is said that Louis XIV preferred pepper, and this preference is what lead to pepper's eventual dominance in the West.

So did I, the first Scala experience was shockingly pleasant (I indeed "couldn't believe my eyes" and literally thought "that's so weird, it probably works just so wrong that it results in an illusion of working right", it felt like magic and this way frightening): it either fails at compile time (throwing very informative error messages some of which can be unintuitive and seem weird as long as you don't know what do they mean but let you identify a problem easily as soon as you learn to read them) or just does what you meant it to do. But the programs I've written can indeed be considered trivial - I didn't make any serious use of actors or weird types, I mostly used it as "a better C#" + humble amount of FP but it seems to me that this makes my point make even more sense - write almost the same program in a very similar style in 2 languages and one of them requires a way less debugging.
That'd be more convincing if they had any really dynamic, powerful product lines within Mac. Given how many Mac skus are in danger of disappearing, it looks a lot more like neglect for a company that makes like 95% of its revenue through iOS and basically keeps Macs alive as a dev tool for iOS.

The thing is, you can always dig up some hypocrisy if you go back far enough. Our ancestors doing something bad doesn't forever nullify arguments against other people doing that thing to us. You don't deserve karmic retribution because of what someone else did, even if you benefit from it.

How to deal with hyper growth?
Hello,

I would like to understand some of the strategies how to deal with hyper growth? For example we need to add around 10 engineers a month, it is taking a toll in how one could hire them and onboard them. Did you encounter a situation where you said NO to new clients due to hyper growth?

Thanks

Thanks
It's not illegal for you to invest in Stripe. It's simply illegal for Stripe to try and sell you their stock. If you happen to have personal connections to Stripe leadership, and they haven't hit the regulatory shareholder limit (after which they must start filing disclosures with the SEC), you could legally buy all the Stripe stock you could afford.
It's a Red Queen effect, I guess.
True, but if that's the case then why doesn't the article bring up all of the adverse weather events that have had the same impact?

Even for non-aviation-or-tech-knowledgeable people, I think most still care who is at fault for such disruptions. The article frames the ATL fire as Delta/Southwest's fault. It puts the ATL fire in the same category as other, airline-specific issues that were caused by Delta's IT systems. But that just isn't the case. The ATL fire affected every airline at ATL (but for some reason the article only calls out SW and DL), and was the fault of the airport, not the airlines. It's more similar to bad weather shutting down an airport than it is to the IT issues that Delta faced last night.

It just feels like bad reporting to include that comparison.
I hated WordPerfect for this reason at the time. I was a fan of Word for DOS long before Microsoft had the dominance it would come to have. And I say this as someone who did quite a bit of coding at the time (and used lots of different word processors).
And when we have a formula that can express developing a user base and market trust, particularly in the face of a company that already has it, may be we will.

Until then, it's not terribly accurate to say "A team of 5 can write it in 6 months, so call it $2 mill valuation after hardware and support" because spending some money to have the exact product DOESN'T mean you have nor can get their customers.
I've been seeing the same thing...not just in HN, but across tech.

My theory is there's a lot of resentment of the successful. We're seeing a new generation of engineers enter the workforce that never got to participate in the previous booms, and it's not as easy to make it big as it used to be.
Generally pretty solid advice. I say that as someone who is known for solving tough wireless problems. :-)

On the cable termination part: I've (mostly) stopped crimping cables because I've had too many go flaky and don't have 4-5 figure testing equipment. One thing I'll add is that there are ends for solid conductor and stranded, make SURE you have the right ones for the cable you are using.

These days I always just put on keystone ends and then use commercial patch cables from there. I've had very good luck. I'd recommend against the advice to use a screw driver to punch them down, the Leviton ones I prefer you just put the cap on and they punch down themselves. The random ones I get from Ace Hardware have a little punch tool included.

One additional recommendation I have is to put 5GHz radios in each space. 5GHz has more spectrum, and less interference, but it penetrates drywall significantly worse. But that's a good thing, because it cuts down on interference from your neighbors.

Beware of microwave ovens, baby monitors, cordless phones (last 2 more in residential areas). They can be intermittent interference, and won't show up on the non-commercial spectrum analyzers. Our 2.4GHz used to go out when we'd run our brand new microwave. But it would also go out at other times, possibly when a neighbor ran theirs? 2.4GHz penetrates buildings quite well, which kind of sucks.

And then what incentivizes a company to invest heavily in R&D if they will derive no disproportionate advantage from their discoveries? Wouldn't there be a bit of a tragedy of the commons situation where everyone tries to wait for everyone else to invest so that they can reap the reward while others bear the cost? If that comes to pass, everyone will be poorer as R&D spending slows down.
Sounds a bit like netkernel to me. http://www.1060research.com/products/
Yes, because all that matters is an idea and execution doesn't matter one bit.
I understand this, but can't an object be considered immutable when all its fields are immutable and all its member functions (but the constructor perhaps) are pure? And isn't this what C# structs (and Scala case classes although both can be equipped with mutable fields and impure methods if the developer wants but this isn't a recommended pattern) are meant to be? If this doesn't solve the problem then what is the solution proposed?

PS: Whatever, it pleases me that somebody has finally come to the idea of a heavily-memoized language that would still support mutable imperative parts and tried implementing it. I've been thinking "why the eck there is no language that would memoize pure functions automatically" for so many years already (but I've always been dismising the idea of building it myself as I lack sufficient background in computer science to build a compiler that would produce reasonably fast programs so it would be impractical to invest time). The only language I've found easy to add automatic memoization to is Python.

PPS: That's a pity Todd Nowacki has been flagged, HN should really learn to distinguish between garbage fast commenters and qualified resourceful writers.
And it's easy to look at the poor founders and forget that if you're going to talk about their humanity, then it's pretty crazy to then ignore the fact that they signed a deal to sell all of their employees to Mark Zuckerberg, and not only that but they did it on Valentine's Day weekend.

He walked away from $850M. How many of his employees walked away from money and a job they previously liked to get out of that situation?
