I’m somewhat familiar with Finnish culture, and to be honest I sort of wish the world worked that way. The Finnish version of the example conversation could have just been:

Merge my code! It’s great!

No.

Aaaand scene.

Hell, that “no” could even have been a silent stare, or a grunt and it would have worked. Sadly much of the World finds that crosses the line fopekm taciturn and direct, into either rudeness or lack of communication. Dressing things up with layers of words, while tedious, is also the basic way many cultures keep arguments from turning into murders. North America (and the UK and some other parts) probably do take it a bit far. Not as far as Japan, but still, too far.

All of which is to say, yes it’s probably cultural, but it’s also a matter of people who are invested in something missing the obvious. Sometimes you really have to drive a point home, and my general recommendation was that it’s better to do so directly and civilly, rather than rudely.
No; it's just being shitty, and to be frank I think you know that.

"This code has more warnings than we accept under our process; please remedy." You aren't telling onlookers that they will be lit on fire for the temerity to contribute, you aren't causing anyone to lose face and you aren't hurting anyone. No aspersions, no chilling effects, and a positive path forward. Done and done. Everyone wins. To do otherwise is inhumane.
Well it won't matter once you change your number, but nobody should have to consciously think about doing that because the company you gave it to is using it for non-user account security purposes.

Your conflating two unrelated issues:

(1) Liking or disliking democracy

(2) Liking or disliking certain policies that may be taken under democracy, or under an authoritarian regime.

A country could democratically ban the use of cars, that doesn't mean that everyone who is against democracy loves using cars.
China's government isn't involved in business in anything like the way the USSR's was. China probably has some room before it hits those particular problems.
You can use a component. I personally design first using only tailwind utility classes. Once I reach a near-ready state I factor out the repeated code into custom components that will be easy to change in the future. That way I also don't have to wait for css to compile while I'm still making a lot of changes (I know, like 150ms right?).

Just the fact that you read blogs and post in technical discussions shows that you care to improve your craft and don't just wait for somebody to tell you what to. There are no hard criteria to define "caring" but I like people to do something. Read stuff, know at least a little about the latest trends, think about ways to do things differently, try out things and so on.
Oh, I don't know about these particular ideas you're chasing. There are quite a number of independent, redundant resources that would be very difficult to align forgeries across and present as fraudulent data, worldwide, for weeks, months, and even years after the incident.

It just sounds like a fishing expedition for some kind of cover up that exploits an incredibly narrow gap, covered by a myriad of alternative information sources that are more than capable of sealing up an air tight sequence of events by other means.

Open, consumer information sources like flightaware.com alone had the answer to the questions you're asking, long ago.

The radar history for this event was paywalled here for days after the event:

https://flightaware.com/live/flight/ACA759/history

The open, freebie log only gives like two weeks of charts, but the data you mention was lying around, available for like 8 months, to anyone with premium access to that particular service. And anyway, I'm sure it's just a convenience wrapper to public data that's still floating around to anyone willing to dig.

Here's another service, if you've got $500 bucks, and really would like to know right now:

https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/ac759/

And to reiterate, this is only costing money today on account of being late to the party.

Multiple systems surfaced this data to the world in real time, and openly back-logged for months after. I'd bet good money a wide audience fact checked exactly what you've suggested a long time ago (even here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14741605). But my opinion isn't very important when the information is available in a general sense, to anyone who really wants it, even now, more than a year later. Feel free to be suspicious about these resources being far downstream and non-official consumer products, but if that doesn't suffice, then other (much, much bigger) doubts occlude any potentially satisfactory assessment which won't get solved in a random thread by amateur internet detectives like us.
this looks pretty cool!
>On the other hand imagine how much you would learn if you could spend all you gym and bike time learning computer science and other things (not saying you should but the more time you out into something usually you know more about that thing).

On the other hand imagine how much could you get done if you worked 16 hours a day. Why even take vacation? Imagine how much time you are wasting when you are off on vacation. Oh wait, studies have shown that amount of hours sat in the chair doesn't translate directly into quality work. It might work when you are doing it occasionally as a one-off but won't work everyday.

>Also I think knowing data structures is essential cos you are using them ALL the time you just don’t know it cos you never bothered to learn them. But they are corner stone of every program.

Did i say that? I know what a graph, BST, Tree, Linked List, Stack and Queue is. Do i know fancy algo's off the top of my head? No. But i also know how and what to google and how to convert that pseudo-code into actual working code.
So stop using functions...got it.
The stock market and human decision making is short term.

There's always someone desperate for a job with no better choices at all (like flipping burgers etc). Some don't watch news to learn of the terrible risks. Industries with safety regulations will have some employers "encouraging" the belief that the clothing, masks and procedures are unnecessary, uncomfortable etc.

Globalisation is often little more than excuse to relocate somewhere without any of those protective legislation and publicity impacts.

Once it becomes a race to the bottom human and environmental safety become secondary. The idle threat to close the factory and relocate it to somewhere that doesn't yet care is real enough that the publicity of losing 1,000 jobs is worse to their political career than killing 2,000 workers over a 40 year span.

By the time the damage is clear the politicians have moved on to highly paid board and consultancy roles in the industries they failed to regulate.

If it increases the value of your house that's good in itself. For fun I did a side project while my friend built a new deck for his cottage. His cottage increased value about the same amount that I sold my side project for.
Another aspect unstated in the article is that in the parts of Appalachia being referenced in the article, and during the time frames given, often coal mining was one of very few jobs even available to the residents to begin with. When your majority work choices amount to: "coal miner", "logger", or "unemployed" one does not have a lot of options.

The Appalachian mountain coal mining areas are rough country, and until relatively recently (last 20 some years or so) there were not many job options available (beyond mining or other hard labor jobs) for the families that live in those areas. Even today in 2018, while better, the job opportunities pale in comparison to the opportunities in major metropolitan cities.

Source: Maternal grandparents are from VA portion of Appalachian mountain chain, grandfather was a coal miner, although luckily he did not succumb to black lung disease. Large extended family still lives there.
I still remember the days when users of various vi clones derided emacs as "Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping" and now a single gvim instance with no files open is 37MB emacs is 51MB and atom is 300MB. My actually running emacs with slime loaded in the middle of debugging a lisp application is 127MB, which is still smaller than a freshly opened atom instance.
> There is no evidence for this, and no good reason to assume so

I'm gonna invite you to a game called the Pepsi challenge, wherein you're obliged to imbibe a glass full of unknown chemical X and survive 24 hours before you spray it on food that other people eat and/or insert it directly into the foodchain. Wanna play?

It's not scare tactics to be careful with food specifically and the ecosystem in general. You see, we now have the science to actually do experiments and test things for safety before industry belches out thousands or millions of tons of the stuff into the foodchain, whereas 100 years ago we did not. IMO it is actually irresponsible to not do so. What we lack is the political will, and default positions like yours are not helpful.

In my very honest opinion, 100% serious--I think it's entirely reasonable to require proof of safety before society grants you permission to inject your newly designed chemicals into the food chain.
Seems like a pretty small release in comparison to previous updates. Probably a good thing, though - it demonstrates that the language as reached a very mature state with few remaining gaps.
Netflix’ Icarus had me on the edge of my seat. Details the Russian doping scandal.
Can you please share what you think is the best example of a large tech-ish company that operates like this?
I deleted facebook in 2008, this article discusses shadow profiles.... I suspect that more people deleting facebook and moving to facebook owned subsidiaries, or anything that is centrally owned and not federated will not solve the problem. even then there will be new mining techniques with their own set of challenges.

unfortunately I do not think that more people doing that will solve the root of the problem... only try to treat a symptom.

I run repair shops for a living, so I can tell you the #1 thing people do is give them to their kids or other family members.

Trade-ins with carriers are big as well, and of course selling them will still net some money as well. You can sell to local stores or online at sites like Swappa.

People who aren't as technical as the typical HN reader often don't know that iPhone, iPad, and laptop batteries are replaceable, and it's usually relatively cheap to do so. Please educate your friends and family members!
I think that's partly because the golden rule is a moral rule, not a communication one. It describes a mindset that promotes empathy, but doesn't make affordances for communication differences such as social/economic status, culture and so on.

The set of rules won't be used against them though, and they know it. The creator of the new Linux CoC has a history of being hateful and organizing mobs on twitter to harass project owners, yet they aren't suffering repercussions from it. They push for projects to add their CoC so they can use it as a weapon against people they don't like, but know they're safe because they won't use it against each other. They're already using it as a reason to start harassing kernel maintainers (calling Theodore Tso a "rape apologist"), yet they aren't holding each other accountable for their own CoC violations.
Agreed, this is disturbing. I read it twice just make sure I hadn’t missed any reason for the downvote.
Hey!

Oli here from worldbrain.io

So the search technology is horizontally scalable and should carry years of your web-research locally in the browser. (and still be performant)

Yes we strongly plan to integrate with other services so you can search and import data there too. Intended is that we make it abstract enough for developers to easily and autonomously also integrate services on their own. However that needs to wait a bit more since so many other priorities are on the table and we are quiet a small team still.

Cheers
Oli
The medical resident analogy can't be used as an umbrella example proving that it's absurd to look for passion on a personal level. There are other professions where passion is almost always expected. Car mechanics are all about cars; plane pilots are all about planes; academics are all about whatever their subject is; architects are all about buildings and houses; anyone on the artistry side is all about their art. I believe that most engineers also have quite passion about their craft. Don't get a civil engineer started on how bridges stand unless your afternoon is free.

In a sense I feel that this current trend of promoting software development as "just a job" is yet another step in the ditch that is forming between the ideal of "software engineering" and the reality of "software development". It's the way things are going and I have no strong feeling about it one way or another, but it seems obvious to me that employers would be more attracted to someone with passion for the craft, as well as fellow passionate wanting to work among a crowd like them.

Blockchain Voting Could Save Democracy, Despite Governments’ Best Efforts
There's two major oversights in all the arguments like this:

1. Books are more analogous to vinyl than they are to CD's. People think they're cool, they like having bookshelves. In the age of screens, having something physical that you can set on a coffee table is refreshing.

Print might be more niche, but it will no go anywhere in our lifetimes.

2. It assumes that digital reading experiences are inherently the way we see them right now.

I can't for the life of me read anything lengthy on my phone, but I'll tear through thick old books on Kindle.

A big part of that is the kindle screen will show almost the same number of words as a printed page.

My iPhone shows less than half of that. Paragraphs that read smoothly in print or E-ink devices don't even fit on the screen. Social posts and tiny snippets fit well. Throw in some notifications and why would anyone be able to stay undistracted while using a phone?

The more I look at these things the less it looks like something inherent to print and digital and more like a collection of design decisions and consequences on what happens in the screens, not the screen themselves.

Maybe not a documentary, but I can watch "How it's made" like people binge-watch netflix shows...
I think it's much worse when HTC places ads on your phone via bloatware apps that can't be uninstalled. That's absolutely vicious and hardly ever gets any press time. But, oh, facebook makes a minor little slip up and they even FIX the problem and everyone looses their heads over it.
As someone who has occasionally runs experiments with FB adverts for various types of business. I feel it's boiling point will be when people and organisations advertising on the platform really start to look deeply into the value for money they are getting on it. I can't tell you the amount of times I've seen organisations throw money at it in return for dubious clicks from markets they never targeted, bot like users and poor really ROI after advertising with it.
> If you ask me, "faking it" is really just as good as "actually" being a more helpful or empathetic person.

It is important to make the distinction between this and what Linus actually said, which was "fake it *until I make it" (emphasis added). The latter is essentially practice or exercise to develop empathy. The former is essentially how high-functioning psychopaths work.

> Let's say my brother calls me up on a Saturday morning. He needs help moving some furniture. Do I really feel like doing that? Fuuuuuuuuuck no. Will I say "yes" anyway? Probably, because even though I'd rather play tennis or sleep or play video games I want to help him. So I will consciously expend the effort to go do the good thing for him.

> Am I being "actually" good there or am I just "faking it"? I don't really think there's a difference. Nobody really wants to spend a day off moving furniture for free.

You haven't really made a comparison here, because you just say, "I want to help him." What is your motivation? You can definitely help him without having any empathy for him at all.

Empathy doesn't mean "being nice" or "being helpful". It means understanding, feeling, or experiencing the feelings of others. Being an empathetic person is largely orthogonal to being nice. It can help you be nice, because you understand how people feel. It can also help you be a huge asshole, because you understand how to really hurt people.
Why have costly government regulation when people can just not breathe polluted air?

There are some things users/people did not sign up for and cannot (reasonably) opt out of that still harm them. This is what regulations are for.
I think I misrepresented. Most people just ask, "can you come help?" To that I'll answer how long it would take me to get over there if I can, and start heading that way. Few people ask "would you like to help me" do anything. The answers really are different.

That is, you aren't faking it by being nice. You are just not bringing in extra crap to the discussion. Can you do dinner tonight? Yes or no. Not, I'd rather go do something with someone else, but if I have to be social with you, I can.

It is tough, because society is actually highly rewarding on bringing extra crap to the discussion many times. In humor situations, everyone actually enjoys it. And for situations where there is a jerk, society actually rewards it by putting up with it.

Linus has been a tough one. Often the community has relied on his behavior to help keep other jerks in check. People like to talk about how he is abrasive to nvidia, but they really are somewhat abusing the spirit of the crowd, as well. Problem seems to be that it is tough to know when to use a tool in your disposal.

It does not have an identical effect. For one, the listener has a reason to listen to you with regards to the former. For two, everyone else is not provided with a reason to pull the ripcord and avoid you entirely.

I understand the point of view that yes, it may have advantages to abuse people for your immediate and short-term desires. The attempt to cast abuse as valid for those advantages belies the truth of a nasty participant in the body politic.
We've had an iPhone 3gs (30-pin) plugged into a speaker playing music in our son's room for years. He plays the violin, so listening to the piece he's working on and previous pieces is useful and calming for him.
this is the saddest article I've ever read
Almost every shop does this, no verification before use. ffs, at least provide a "report not mine" function.
Why the downvoting on this?
It should be already well understood that free services aren't free. To me the moral issue of the story is how Facebook isn't upfront about "the cost" of the services they provide.

You want to use facebook to get in touch with friends? We all now know that you will be targeted by ads customized with every piece of information that you reveal (and some bits that you are not even aware you are revealing...)

Assume that an extra layer of security is also costing you some privacy. Interesting dilemma...
