Lots of other things in common as well.
This strong dialect, almost a language type thing is pretty common in the UK in general. I grew up in the Welsh border counties of England, and it was pretty common amongst remote rural people to speak a dialect that would have been impossible to understand by people in the towns 50 miles away. Bits of it survive, in Shropshire it is relatively common to hear locals say the weather is "cowd", and to pronounce words like "sheep" as "ship" (the old phrase "spoiling the ship for hap'orth of tar", meaning ruining something of value for the want of a cheap bit of maintenance, is apparently not about boats).

I find most intriguing that men call each other "mon", like, "Surry mon it's cowd", or "how bin'ee mon". However the equivalent English, "hey man, it's cold today" would be absurd in England. To the old folks "she" was normally replaced with "her", as in "her is cawd".

So those are all variant pronunciations or usages, but it goes further. My father is an upper-wommer (a yokel, but more effectionately meant. Literally someone whose house is high up in the hills). When he spoke to his father I used to struggle to follow say all. They would talk of "tumps" (small hill), "unts" (moles), and the lovely "unty-tumps" (yes mole-hills). Owls were "ulerts", gaps in hedges were "glats" bill-hooks were brummucks. There were bits of old-English thrown in, I was once told a brummuck needed "whetting" (as in whetstone, sharpening stone) and was confused enough as a child that I thought soaking it in oil to treat the rust should do-it.

By the definitions above, if I as a teenager couldn't understand my grandfather (who I saw regularly) talking to my father, surely they were speaking a different language?

Btw despite this being the Welsh borders, Welsh is very uncommon as a language, and whilst I don't speak Welsh, the vocab doesn't seem to come from there. Welsh has a number of sounds like "Ll" that were not used.

Post WW2 farming became very prosperous in the area, and lots of farmers became gentrified and sent their sons to the elite English private schools (confusingly known as the Public Schools, for historical reasons). I think this is largely responsible for reducing the usage of the local language. Know you can still find it on building sites, farm labourers, and in little remote pockets.
We (in China) use VPN software everyday to get access to most of the website (FB/Google/Twitter/IG/Slack, etc).
It's illegal to sell VPN service without government permission, but no one will catch you if you are a user.

Almost all the Chinese business accept mobile payments, if you do care about privacy, you should prepare enough RMBs.
And kids in Glasgow schools were thwacked across the head if they spoke in Scots.
Great article. I like "debt comments" though, no point hiding defects really.
In all fairness, though, these aren't isolated incidents. There seems to be some subgroup of the general population that suffers from SSRIs. That's what's interesting here -- what binds these people together as a group.

In other words, brushing this aside as "just a bunch of individuals" isn't useful, nor is it satisfying anyone's intellectual curiosity.

If the realistic thing is that the higher ups are going to oppress the workers, it's also the realistic thing that they aren't going to oppress themselves.
I am curios what things the la times is doing with the data it collects that it still after all these months has not been able to offer a GDPR compliant page.

But their experience is quite unusual. They have many people keen to join them so they can do stupid things and not notice it. Most other companies don't have this magnet to favor them.

Have you tried hiring in tech recently? Good candidates disappear after a week. You have to move fast. And even if you are good many candidates slip through your fingers. I doubt Google's Hire service would help me much on that.

* You need someone at least slightly technical to screen CVs.
* Then screen round 2 with truly technical people,
ideally from target teams.
* Then figuring out if any of the job openings is a match for
the candidate (from language to expected job position)
* Then a very personal call with them
* Then a single planned-ahead phone interview with goals
(e.g. is the candidate really competent with X)
* Then interview on-site in a single afternoon/morning
(take them to lunch!)
* Offer should be in a short time, ideally the day of
the on-site interviews.

Or you can do what most people do and just offer 30% above market, cross your fingers, and see what sticks.
Where would the employment rate be if you eliminated "gig economy" jobs?
This! is what I believe not only in mental illness perspective but in every way. I'm bipolar type 2 and I have been on and off on medications for a long time and suffered a lot. For the past 4 years I've been continuously taking meds and my life, my work and my relationship with other people has improved and I'm quite stable.

Like you said, people are different, the thing that works for one person doesn't necessarily need to be working for others. Antidepressants and other meds saved my life!
This is how a lot of the world used to work (ok, minus the wi-fi, and the accomodation was even more basic). Unskilled laborers and anyone else out of a job would move around, taking jobs as and when they were needed and often living "on site" for a while. Much of the work was seasonal such as harvesting, although some places like dockyards and coal mines you could turn up and work by the day or week most of the year. No such thing as benefits if you fell ill, of course.

Here's an article about hops pickers in England [1] and the related Wikipedia article [2]. I also recommend Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath".

People should do what lies within their realm of capabilities. I know enough people who are fine programmers but who lack the overview or sense of connectedness between certain task or the ability to think about the business value of certain tasks in order to make decisions when things start to take too long or become too complex. Those people should not take care of handling the sprint when the person who normally does that is away.

So no, not every engineer should take care of the team's planning.
I don't believe that Apple invented something that Intel or AMD did not, at least not in 2x scale. Single-core geekbench score for i7-8700K is around 10000. It's around 5000 for iPhones which exactly reflects 5GHz vs 2.5GHz. When you're talking about cutting-edge processors, the only difference is clock speed and core count. And while core count could be increased relatively easy, AMD example shows, that it's not easy to approach higher clock speed.

Two long-term aspects, in my point of view :

- social AI and automation challenge : recruitment is a process where humans are important and cannot be replaced for now, because of the soft and reassuring aspect of human interactions. The call centers and this will provide nice playfields to make AI more "humans".

- data : what could you do if you had access to all the contents of the job offers in the market, the people motivations, and the timeline of all interactions? That's something they may already have access to by buying data from providers, but with that they go to the source.

Given the quantity of actors in the online recruitment service field, it is not surprising to watch Google enter the arena.
As someone who works on a major blockchain project, I agree with this statement. Blockchain only has one major use case; cryptocurrency.

The main purpose of cryptocurrency is to replace the role of debt in our economy. The value of a cryptocurrency is determined by the economic value provided by entities which use that cryptocurrency as a medium of payment for goods and services. Because anyone can issue a cryptocurrency, the underlying tokens can behave like shares in a company.

Cryptocurrencies are better than shares in that they exist outside the laws of any single country. The ownership of tokens is not enforced by law, it is enforced by mathematics and your own ability to keep your passphrases secret.
Except, ya know, trustless currency. :p
This seems to be around since 2017. What am I missing?
It was a weird few months seeing the bikes everywhere, but only ever seeing them ridden by groups of young kids. I asked a group of Sudanese boys how they liked them, and they showed me how they jimmyed the locks and then rode them for a while until ditching them. Poorly planned system from a hardware perspective - the venture capital idea makes sense to me
I'm curious, does anyone know of documented cases where RFCs have been used in non-software related engineering environments? E.g. manufacturing, equipment design, chemical process design etc.
Well in my team sprint planning is a team job. Everybody gets together and plans the next stories. Usually different people have knowledge/interests on different stories, so nearly everyone gets some input.

Heck in the scrum guide this is the way it's meant to be.

If your engineers can't factor in business value, or work dependencies its usually because people are hoarding knowledge so they dont have the ability to factor that in.
it's a good point. the article doesn't say classic BIOS hands off to bootloader in 32-bit mode. most systems now-a-days leave off the system in 32-bit mode and that's the point this article makes. the only mention to classic BIOS is as an example of boot firmware.

having said that it is perhaps worth clarifying in the article that classic BIOS would hand off in 16-bit mode :)

Google is in publicly collected health care data. Google is in surveillance via location service. Google is browser tracking.

Presumably if you want to apply for a job with a company that uses Google Hire you won’t be opt out of Google processing your personal data.

It’s the candidate “discovery” feature that worries me the most. Howlong before Google offersto prefilter candidates it thinks are bad eggs based on the profile it’s building on you?
Don't discuss Chinese politics, laws, policies etc. Don't offer VPN to others.

However, you can acknowledge the firewall existing, e.g. you can say "I can't access my email, can I send you this photo with Bluetooth/WeChat instead?"

Chinese know the firewall exists, they just mostly don't care (and if they do care they would never tell you about it)
If "most people" offer 30% above market, isn't that the new market rate?
Ask HN: Why does Brave paint so slowly on Android?
I'm using a P20 Pro. It's not the best phone but it's not sluggish either. In Brave browser, even to paint simple web pages, I often see it painting elements only after they've entered the screen. This happens on pages as small as 160KB and less so memory is obviously not the issue. Why does this happen?

What's next? Google CRM? Google ERP? Similar story to Microsoft' invoicing system that had been rolled out a while back. The smaller players will most likely get pushed out (even if their product is better but offers less horizontally), sometimes while paying for computing power on the platform that is competing with them.
The national unifying event premise doesn't work regardless. That lasts for five minutes. It took about 24 to 36 months for it to wear off after 9/11, even the wars didn't maintain any meaningful national unity as it pertained to the Bush Administration. The two political camps quickly went back to their camps.

> Should all Republicans be imprisoned, forcefully re-educated, and have their right to vote stripped from them as they committed the high crime of possibly voting for Trump?

Comically, this is what the far left said was going to happen to them with Trump's Presidency. They're still saying it. John Ashcroft (whose policies I disliked immensely) was supposed to put everyone that disagreed with Bush into gulags. Reagan was going to get us all killed in a nuclear war, because he was crazy. And so on the hysterical behavior goes.

Maybe you've seen the insane chanting repetition videos online, where they indoctrinate the left marchers on what to say and how to behave, so they can put on an entirely fake show of protest. It's all about shrieking as loudly as possible to get as much attention as possible, and to intimidate others into capitulating. The concept is, the people that act out the most dramatically win, and get their way. The problem with that is, it loses its effect rapidly, you have to perpetually act crazier.

With as bad as it has all become lately, it can get worse yet. That's when the political class will begin locking down the capital and restricting access. We currently have Twitter flooded with death threats on Republican Senators, with the celebrity left saying the most vile, evil things possible about Senator Collins (and Twitter openly allowing it). Rand Paul's wife sent a letter to Cory Booker, pointing out that she now sleeps with a loaded gun next to her bed, because they're receiving endless numbers of death threats.

It can't end any other way than the US Government begins locking down its security and access further, cracking down on protest behavior, threats, etc.
Or you could hire people no one else is hiring because they don't look like good candidates even though they are. You could build a system to do that.

> Build work-sample tests.
Instead of asking questions about the kind of work you do, have candidates actually do the work.
Careful. I am not saying candidates should spend a 2-week trial period as a 1099 contractor. That’s a terrible plan: the best candidates won’t do it. But more importantly: it doesn’t work. Unlike a trial period, work sample tests have all three of these characteristics:
they mirror as closely as possible the actual work a candidate will be called on to perform in their job,
they’re standardized, so that every candidate faces the same test,
they generates data and a grade, not a simple pass/fail result.
Flash still lives on as Animate, and for a while they even had a native code compiler for mobile deployments.

I guess anti-Flash community just lost track of it.
It doesn't matter if it is good or bad. It matters that vendor locking potential becomes greater.
"The OS which you have to constantly hack upon with weird commands, just to retain basic functionality" - yeah, that's Windows nowadays.
I'm quite sure that the primary factor for safety in the Netherlands is the excellent infrastructure. Separate bike lanes, crossings that take into account viewing angles, etc. - cyclist safety is so ingrained in road design here, and it directly affects how safe it is to cycle, even when you're a lone cyclist.

The law is probably a second large factor, and only then do I think the number of cyclists comes into play. And even then, that sheer number has only been achieved thanks to the former two factors - I'm confident that that has played a far greater role than helmets being optional.
I too am excited to hear more. The necessity for kube2iam and kaim are one of the major blockers that have prevented us from considering EKS for a client, the major sticking point being that they move the implementation of shipping security material around from the AWS to the customer side of the shared responsibility model.
For me, Prozac (SSRI) cuts off those sharp edges. But when I started using it I could barely walk with it (e.g. taking stairs gave me intense muscle fatigue, nausea, and I was very tired in general), so strong it was (eventually this initial effect faded away). I have an ASD diagnosis.
APFS, the new macOS file system, works like this.

If you have an encrypted volume, you can use the command 'diskutil apfs eraseVolume' to make data inaccessible instantly by deleting the encryption key. (Note that the disk passphrase is not the same as the encryption key, so even if you use a weak password for your disk, you can't brute force the key)

It's not a simple thing. For 30% I wouldn't switch my job to a random company whose first impression is hiring incompetence.
This is a tricky subject, imo, because even if Apple is just being money grubbing, there is a positive outlook on this. Finding reliable 3rd party parts for Apple products, even without Apple's meddling, is like cartwheeling through a mine field. My first post-university job was a lot of end user hardware support, and finding reliable parts that worked as advertised (for all brands) was a nightmare. Even previously reliable sites would switch inventory and suddenly get cheap knockoffs, which fit and looked like the real thing, but did absolutely nothing.

With iPhones in particular, this is horrible -- replacing a battery is a terrible experience just from a purchasing point of view. The actual process itself is not bad (and well documented by sites like ifixit), but you don't know about the issues until you have the part in hand and it sucks.

This is a mess for Apple since in a lot of places, third party shops do not care about the parts they order. They put in a replacement part as asked, and now the machine works even worse. As an individual, I'm willing to put out money to a company like ifixit to ensure I've got a working part and I have someone to point to when it doesn't work. For a lot of mom and pop shops that have margins to worry about, suddenly the part actually working isn't that big of a deal.

I don't want Apple to have this much power, to be clear. The right answer is instead to open up the official supply chain to third party resellers and drop the anti-competitive price fixing. But I do get their image concerns with regards to the third party ecosystem -- it's not Apple locking out third parties, it's third parties just making terrible products.
What is needed is a "dictator", like Linus is for the Kernel, or Apple is for macOS, Google (to a lesser degree, but still) for Android.

This need to be someone that truly cares about a desktop experience, and backwards compability, like Linus cares for the ABI for Linux.

The only people doing anything remotely like this is Elementary, but it is very far from reaching any kind of critical mass. Also that its perceived as macOS clone hurts it.

I think if this ever happens it will be a company doing this, and it won't contain any kind of Qt, GTK, GNOME, KDE. Perhaps one of the big ones that currently lack a desktop platform. Lets hope is is free software.
> Blockchain only has one major use case; cryptocurrency.

Currencies have value only because governments force everyone to use them for paying taxes and welfare.

Your 'tokens-as-shares' vision is flawed, because at the end of the day it devolves into a million little barter schemes, and barter sucks. (As we discovered back in the bronze age.)

The only place where blockchain could provide a use is with smart contracts. If you've experienced buying or selling real estate, then you understand how insanely inefficient low-trust, high-value deals can be. Anything that removes this friction would be a great boon.
It would be best if you did not take your personal laptop. Get a cheap chromebook and put your important data on a cloud service of some sort. Once you pass through customs you need to completely wipe the laptop, re-install a trusted version, then pull down the data you need. Wipe the laptop again before you leave and be prepared to just leave it behind if it ever left your physical control during your trip. Find out which VPN services are currently working from China and also familiarize yourself with shadowsocks.

You need a disposable phone that does not have any data on it (contacts, notes, photos, etc) that you do not want to share with the Chinese government. If possible you should get a SIM card from Hong Kong and use that since it is less likely to have VPN and other connections blocked.

Beyond this you should look to some of the online guides out there targeted at journalists and how they can protect themselves, most of the same rules will apply to you in this situation.
This doesn't make much sense. You can very well code at night but at least that shouldn't be related to your day job. I'm not sure what you get out of "coding all day and all night on relatively minor problems to make somebody else five figures a week". If you code something for yourself that's the best.

Also, not sure if Counter Strike should be regarded as bad as alcohol, though indeed both might become addictive if careful.
That sounds like a fancy way of saying advances in technology displace the need for certain (and increasing) types of work, increasing the supply of labor, but not the demand, and therefore decreasing the price of labor.

Plus globalization and adding women to labor supply.
Yes, the proletariat disappeared. That's true. Enter precariat instead. Awesome change isn't it!
That's not really an argument, that's an unargued statement of opinion.
I'm not so certain it's for the data. If it were, then I would assume that the pricing would be much more competitive.
No, that's simply false information.
There is also always the chance of getting sued. If you lose in court as a Einzelunternehmen, you personally will have problems If your UG or GmbH loses in court, you personally don't have any problems.
My guess is they didn't know better. That isn't the only amateurism in the code.
Set up a VPN using Streisand [1]. I usually setup a Digital Ocean server in Singapore running Shadowsocks VPN using Streisand.

Forget about all other comments here suggesting a particular VPN service. Trust me, this is the way to go. I go to China for work multiple times a year. Not only will you suffer with sporadic speeds, latency, dropped connections and you’ll need to pre-download clients or configuration files before you enter China in some cases (Astrill). Stop looking further, Streisand gives you options for your own private VPN. Delete the server once you’re out of there.

Streisand is a godsent when you need VPN and you don’t know which ones are not blocked without going to dozens of shady forums.

Also, it’s obvious but do not discuss politics in China with your friends or coworkers. Enjoy food that normal middle class eats at extremely crowded high turnover lunch places. You won’t get sick and the food is going to be amazing. Don’t have anything that is “free”. It’s a trap.
