Since Ether was made difficult to get in the 1990's, producers have been using nastier drying agents. As someone that had done the stuff made with Ether, the present quality is shite.
The writer seems unbalanced and I can't tell if he or the workplace is the problem, or both.

The thing that cought my eye is that he was telling his boss his coworker was home hung over, becouse he worked while his grandma died instead of visiting her. Like, who is being inconsiderate here really?
Yeah, that's what it means (to delete the app from your Facebook).

I also got that warning but I ignored it and clicked through anyways. Confirmed that my Spotify account is still working via email/password login.
The problem with your argument is that you unify the creator of the content and the entity placing the ad.

Supporting people via Patreon or PayPal? Donating to software? Participating in open source you use? Watching an ad embedded, vetted and filmed by the video creator (popular example: end of CinemaSins)? Buy silly merch which is actually thoughtfull? Sure thing! I always did that und will always do that!

Getting a screaming Shooter Ad from EA in the middle of my "Better sleep meditation"? Giving Sony money because I want to listen to Bethooven and they copyright-trolled that? Playing endless cat and mouse with the dark patterns added every other week to let me click on ads? Explaining my little sister what a dildo is because YouTube is busy demonitizing everyone but inappropriate scam ads? FUCK NO.
One of the ways instance blocks are used, in practice, is to discourage other instances from enforcing boundaries. For example, one of the biggest and oldest Mastodon instances recently blocked an entire up-and-coming instance because they banned one person who has a trail of allegations that they solicited underage kids for sex. A number of other, smaller instances also block instances that ban another alleged serial rapist.
If your team, say on Gmail or Android, was to integrate Google+’s features then your team would be awarded a 1.5-3x multiplier on top of your yearly bonus. Your bonus was already something like 15% of your salary.

Suddenly it makes sense why we can't use + to force a word in google searches anymore.
Why not get involved in your country's politics and try to make it better? Running away from problems whatever they are just helps the bad guys, but be warned, you will pop up on your security services radar, so everything like your school reports, your health records, anything documented by the state or in the public domain like facebook will be used to build up a psychological profile and this could then be used against you, if your remit is different to their remit like protecting a country's GDP or current political leaders. The good thing about this, is foreign intelligence will also like to you use like a pawn to help further their own foreign policy interests and global criminals may also like to use you for their own ends as well. So be careful if you do decide to get vocal, I know I've had it done to me as well.
If your idea of 'solving problems' gets any more wide adoption, then I fear for the world.

Out of sight, out of mind. Put them on paradise islands, in shithole camps, violate some basic human rights. The islanders can be capo's. A true win-win.. except for the refugees, then.
Skimming this, it mostly focuses on Bayesian probabalistic models. I think these are underutilized in machine learning tasks, especially since it can be so easy nowadays with tools like PyMC and fast variational methods. If you have a reasonable data-generating model in mind, that information should be incorporated into the prior.
I think you can move to Canada to purse a course in a community college. Not a degree but a 2 year course. Can you get a loan from your home contry ? If so you can move to Canada spend 2 years studying/earning and you will be set. You will have to take a loan to cover your airfare and first semester college fees. Worth exploring I suppose.
So not only should companies have to publish hacks, they also have to publish when they internally find a bug?

Do I also need to publish if I left my keys in the door for two hours, but nobody broke in?
You're just getting downvoted because of your phrasing. You sound like this isn't a problem because people can use adBlock. I think most people who downvote actually agree that his is an efficient counter measure.
I completely agree that this makes RSS less accessible. So really it depends on whether you see RSS as a core web technology, like HTML or JS. It's pretty clear that Mozilla do not, nor do Google. Personally I don't either, although I'll admit bias because I really seldom use it other than through automated means.
Stacey Dooley is like Louis Theroux. You put a bumbling nonthreatening type in there and nobody really suspects them or pushes back against them; you see people in the situation with their guard down, you don't necessarily need insights from the presenter.
I m going to sounds more philosophical but, please hear me out. Recently I heard the quote somewhere " the only zen you get at the top of a mountain is the one you bring along". Similarly if you are not happy with your OWN country then you will never be happy anywhere in the world. Everything is getting worst. You are better off where you are and work hard to make a content life there. I have spent 10 years in a first world country and came by to my third world country 10 years back and I am happy.
Unhinged guy does not like Google, his boss or his collegues. Why is this at the top?
$16k for five people, so $3.2k/person. Doesn't seem like a lot when it comes with the restriction of living in the Bay Area.
I am allowed to make comments without justifying them. I wholeheartedly acknowledge that I have done so. I even said why I wouldn't bother.

I am not committing defamation.

Have a good day :^)
One of the reasons I opposed TPP was the copyright provisions that expanded on the Berne's Convention, however Berne's Convention I do not believe applies to Audio (music) or Books, only Photos and Movies

Further as we have seen recently in other area's it is not really that hard to rip up international treaties, I think we will be fine to just ignore Berne's
Dark matter is a supersolid that fills 'empty' space, strongly interacts with ordinary matter and is displaced by ordinary matter. What is referred to geometrically as curved spacetime physically exists in nature as the state of displacement of the supersolid dark matter. The state of displacement of the supersolid dark matter is gravity.

The supersolid dark matter displaced by a galaxy pushes back, causing the stars in the outer arms of the galaxy to orbit the galactic center at the rate in which they do.

Displaced supersolid dark matter is curved spacetime
Controversial opinion here. I know that exaggerating and complaining is a surefire way to get clicks, but it's hard to take the author's criticisms seriously when he complains about so many different things. Some as minor as the noogler orientation. Others as petty as putting down colleagues who haven't worked as designers before.

Regarding the main event in question: I like that Google allows people to party in the evenings with whoever they want to party with. I like that Google allows people to reschedule meetings if they aren't feeling well, for whatever reason. It sucks that the author's grandmother died and that he felt the need to work through the night while that happened, but it's unfair to take that out on your colleagues. Nobody would have blamed him if he asked to reschedule the meeting because of his grandmother's health. Heck, they probably wouldn't even have minded if he asked for a different day/time, just so he wouldn't have to work through the night.

I have no idea who the author is. He might be a fantastic person, and Jim/Greg might be total dicks, for all I know. But just from the volume of different complaints mentioned, and his reaction to a meeting reschedule, I get the impression that he isn't the easiest person to work with, and that there are other sides to this story.
Even scientists are unsure about the status of viruses. Why can't fire have the same unsure status? XD
As an illegal immigrant? That seems like it could be a considerable disadvantage.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was some sort of PR campaign similar to Iraq's WMDs. It does make sense that Iraq still has weapons of mass destruction and could use them against civil populations; likewise, it does make sense that China could access the supply chain, and could use it to access government and corporate networks. The end goal is to change public perception and get support on the idea that the US should focus its efforts on that country (instead of the Mueller investigation or Russia for example). In Iraq's WMDs, the symbol was Colin Powell's vial of Anthrax, here it's a tiny chip that promises to unlock all servers. It's a symbol strong enough that goes well on TV or media.

True or not, what matters is that the seeds of distrust has been sowed. It's billions of $ lost for Supermicro shareholders, and potentially distrust of China.
I'm definitely not among those who rent a nice apartment and I forgot what "vacation" even means. I don't own a car as thankfully it is not required where I live (like in most places in Europe). I don't buy stupid unnecessary things either. However, sharing a cheap apartment won't be easy for a 50 year old. Oh wait, that's not exactly a "startup age", so I guess I'm out anyway...
What do you mean by, "too many friends' parents lost their jobs over it"?

(Thanks for posting this info. about Huawei.)
Epic stop the cheats working, within 24hrs he has them working again. It’s a continual game of cat and mouse, and a kid over summer has way more disposable time than your average game developer. Eventually you can get to a stage where you make it too hard for some of the hacks to work - and then they just find another route.

You can sometimes make a valid copyright claim if they are using your game logos in their advertising, but unless you have the budget of Epic it’s pretty hard to even get an effectual site or YouTube video/channel take down.

Realistically a developer has little alternative than to attempt both code fixes and social ones - once a game has a reputation for being full of hackers it can quickly become the end of it (though again, probably less of a concern for Fortnite due to its scale and popularity)
no man, it's free ^_^
Yeah that’s the biggest take from this. Lots of nice smart people mostly doing routine boring things made a little more palatable because it comes with a big name company and decent perks.

And we may have some inkling as to why Vic left (if the anecdotes are representative of behavior).
This is what fake FB accounts are for.
What about London, where there's competition but they're all selling abroad so that a tower can be fully sold but still vacant? That is the cause for British dislike towards the developers.
Seriously. When Jim schedules a meeting for 9am the next day, just tell him that you need more time than that. Instead, this guy goes home and works through the night so he can prove Jim wrong.

Way too much ego tied up in petty disagreements here.
"I didn't know creating a 3rd table to track Reputation/Likes between a user and a Story is a database concept called 'Joint Table'."

What alternative solution did you propose for recording this data? What constraints and objectives did you consider when coming up with this solution? Is your solution better or worse, given the constraints and objectives you had in mind? Are there other constraints and objectives that would mean your solution is worse than one mentioned?
That's a fair point, but realistically, everyone won't be paying to hide ads - lots of people would prefer to browse for free, even if they could afford the subscription.
Me too but has anyone actually been fined for this sort of thing yet? I tried to report one site to the UK ICO and didn't even get an automated email reply.

Seems like the law exists but there's nobody to enforce it.
>Should parents be allowed to try to give their children a boost in life?

If society really believed and committed in meritocracy, no. But this is always the trap of meritocracies: people lower ladders for friends and family. And that is what always corrupts meritocracy in a free society.
I mostly disagree. Saying "this should be like that" isn't a problem. When you are saying "this should be like that because it is proven by x" you have to actually prove your theory for it to be valid. Anecdotes and emotions can be valid in opinion, opinion can be valid in reasoning and reasoning can be valid when presenting facts. What you can't do is to mix together emotion or opinions with facts, at least not without bridging the gap. And that problem is in my opinion much larger in right wing discourse.

Edit: On second though it is very unlikely we will have a productive discussion here. People never seem to have been able to handle this type of discussion on HN and judging by the response this isn't the exception.

So since the quality of both the article and the comments are low I would instead recommend people to flag the story.

Right.
> Chances to be better off than the median are exactly 50%.

No, if a sample size of monthly salaries is:
$1k, $3k, $4k, $10k, $12k

The median is $4k. Achieving better than that may indeed be a slim chance if it represents a level up in seniority. Your background and skills matter.

Also, in this sample size, only 40% are above median. If you measure everyone salary to the dollar, it will approach 50% but never get there. In fact above median will always be < 50% by definition.
If anyone except maybe my skip-manager scheduled a meeting for 9am, I'd say "Sorry I don't get in before 10".
Context is about location. Point of interest is most probable. That’s standard mapping lingo.
When Javascript projects write "Isomorphic", what do they mean?

It certainly isn't isomorphic in the usual sense in Math of a bijection between structures (categories), because even if it were it is a special case of some kind.
To summarize some of his major complaints:

1) He accepted a salary (115K) lowered than what he thought was fair

2) Design occurred in silos, there was no unity or cohesion

3) His 2nd manager was "political" and "in love with bureaucracy"

4) An exec on a rival team tried to quash his idea

5) Managers often just wanted to slap their name on his work

6) He worked all night to satisfy an angry coworker the night his grandmother died, while coworker partied then rescheduled mtg

For No 1: if you don't think a salary is fair, don't accept it.

Nos 2-5: these happen at almost every medium-large sized company I've ever worked at. If you know a place that isn't political, bureaucratic, siloed and filled with rivals and petty managers, let me know so I can give you my resume.

For No. 6, if you feel a deadline or meeting time is unfair, say so. If you have a sick family member, say so.

He sent this email to his boss:

> "Greg, I had to work most of the night because of Jim, and he canceled our meeting because he was partying with our competitors. In my book, this is totally unacceptable. What am I supposed to do?"

It's never a good idea to send this. It's not going to help you, even if you're in the right. Canceling a meeting is not a gross injustice and if an employee parties afterhours that's his or her business.

I sympathize with the author. Sounds like a good dude. But you have to try to roll with the punches, no workplace will be perfect, I promise you.
I haven't read this article yet, but this is more or less the best moment to showcase you guys what a friend of mine made. I think it's really cool.

He created a memory allocator in which it is impossible to create dangling pointers. He used it by becoming the kernel through Intel VT-x (i.e. he uses ring 0). He uses libdune for this, which in turn uses Intel VT-x.

Check it out at: https://dangless.gaborkozar.me/

I'm going to write an ascii diagram in the upcoming edit. For now: I'll just leave you with the legend that my friend made.

Note: my friend made a video and slides. So for people who are interested, his slides and videos are much nicer to look at than this diagram.

DIAGRAM (of all the physical and virtual memory)

|1|<-A->|2|<-B->|3|<-C->|4|

LEGEND

1 = host physical memory

2 = host virtual memory

3 = guest physical memory

4 = guest virtual memory

A: normal host pagetable

B: embedded page table (this is VT-X thingy)

C: guest page table (this is what I mess with)
I know exactly what you mean. I still remember wasting an hour of my day once on a long read once, that started with a simple story about an autistic woman navigating tech spaces and took almost 3/4 of the piece to get around to the actual thesis of the piece, which was that male supremacy and harassment in tech isn't men's fault because they're all just autistic so leave James Damore alone, he can't help it.

Its very well crafted bullshit, but if you're already even vaguely sympathetic to it, it registers as "thoughtful", and even if you're not at all, it might take a minute to parse out that none of the pieces actually fit and the conclusion is both foregone and bad.
People's freedom is important. Companies' freedom isn't (or, rather, less so - free market is important inasmuch as it's useful to achieve the society's goals).
Network Level ad blocking.

PiHole or some other solution to block things at the network level. PiHole is basic DNS, some firewalls will give you ability to actually block the traffic using IP Lists.
This is really ungrateful. The author is not happy because he got to work on Google+ not chrome?

Google+ for all it's short comings were business failures not tech or ux or design failure. I worked on far stupider projects at big companies and I am utterly grateful for the opportunities given to me.

Absurd blog and no matter how muchi hate Google posts like these makes me realize how ungrateful some people can be.
> That said, $49.99 is .. its just evil. Its playing on psychology of numbers. and $49.95 is even eviler.

Everyone seem to agree on this, but is it, well.. really so? Does it have real benefits out of the veg souk? Or even worse, if people see it as evil.. I can lose customers instead..?
Living organisms are a subset of fire—controlled exothermic processes. But when your exothermic process becomes uncontrollable, your life-force is used up quickly.
Well established where, outside of the minds of autistic men? Everything I’ve ever seen has shown that women on the spectrum are evaluated about twice as negatively on measures of approachability/awkwardness by their peers [1], are more likely to commit suicide[2] (even though women in the general population are less likely to), less likely to have friendships after age 10 [3], and less likely to get married [4]. There seems to be a period in early childhood where women are either better at masking or not disruptive enough to be noticed, but the long-term outcomes are worse on every measure.

totally agree. Things like "Let’s call him Greg because his real name is just as vanilla." are just petty. Maybe it is because I have a name I hate to explain to everyone but jabs at the name your parents gave you aren't cool.

There is a lot of ascribing negative motives to other people's words and behaviors when other explanations seem possible from the description he gave to the situation.
Publicly criticizing people & companies you've worked with because you haven't seen eye to eye with them...

Is this the sort of person you'd want to work with or hire to work for you? If it were a company that didn't pay you or were doing something unethical etc then fair enough - blow that whistle... but as far as I can see this is just someone with a chip on their shoulder and a bruised ego who can't move on.
What do you mean that Spotify requires Facebook login, I don't have a fb account and are using it just fine.

E: Missed the past tense. I just checked, you can sign up with your email address.
I tried reading this, but it is just stream of consciousness writing and littered with unnecessary details. It comes across as petty and the author doesn't seem to be good at communicating what he wants. For instance, he's whining about a 9am meeting with a coworker. If it's such a big deal, why didn't you ask for a later meeting?
He wouldn't be the first designer to pick apart everyday things and question them.

But you have to remember that he was told he'd get to work on Chrome but was then assigned to G+. You have to be extremely laid-back and financially secure to roll with that punch and not put the rest of the company under a microscope (even criticizing petty culture-identity labels like 'nooglers' builds up resentment).
> To take the car analogy from the video a bit further, how many car owners stick to using the dealer to service their vehicles for the entire life of the car?

Most of them, I assumed. Is that not the case?
Yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18201986.
Is that why they got rid of it? I liked using + more than putting the word in quotes, which is what you have to do now.
That's what people say when they say the team and product you're on matters most. In big tech companies, your experiences can vary greatly from one team to another.

This is where the companies could do a better job with HR of making sure each employee fits well in their team and enjoys themselves, and if not, to relocate them to another team.

This is also a great lesson to learn for yourself: Don't stay on a shitty team, don't work for a failing product. Get out as soon as you can, transfer to another team, or even quit and leave the company if that's not possible.
That sounds like that could stem from discomfort being within oneself, in their body or with their emotions and thoughts, so needing to keep the mind active/distracted.
Well, he's passionate. He just didn't realize google is so big it's justanotherjob. Full of middle management machiavellis, and political deck chair shuffling.
Hmmm this is interesting, but too much anger. I’m taking it with a grain of salt. This is definitely no rachelbythebay.
