In the long run, this is also not necessarily true.

It is generally possible to expand enrollment by paying money to construct larger dorms, open classrooms, and hire staff. Virtually no university in the country is anywhere near its theoretical physical capacity. If I give an institution a large grant earmarked for doing this to create slots for a particular minority, that institution can create those slots without changing what is available to any other minority.

Now I provided a hypothetical case of a large grant from a single individual. That's an admittedly unlikely scenario. But Harvard's affirmative action programs are one of the wonderful things that can be talked about to potential donors. How many were pushed over the edge into donating because of it? Particularly given the fact that a former minority student who went to Harvard was in the press a lot over the last decade. Being the first black President will do that.

The point remains. The fact that one group got something doesn't mean that another group had to get less.

For another area where the same type of fallacy is rampant, consider immigration. People object to immigrants because "they are taking our jobs". When in fact immigrants make a net contribution to our economy, and make a net contribution to how many jobs are available for existing workers.

Is "rebuilding rails" still relevant? The website has a 2010-ish design vibe and it seems to talk about rails 3 being cutting age while we're now at rails 5. One image has (c) 2012.

Didnt know about the book, so I'm interested, but I can't tell if it's worth buying because of the above.
Agreed WRT all those projects. SiFive seems to be encouraging independent proprietary developments instead of taking funding for a single awesome one. If all the money spent on closed projects was pooled, they'd be willing it by now.
It doesn't detract from his greatness but I didn't like his hypocrisy in giving millions to gun control initiatives while personally owning a Panzer tank, SCUD missile launcher, MiG fighter jet, etc.
tls 1.3 is still very new, so it makes sense that it would have both compile time and runtime concerns. Unless you are specifically trying to use tls 1.3 (which isn't most people), you don't need to turn it on, even if it is compiled in. Of course if you are specifically trying to use it, you probably know how you compiled nginx. So really it isn't bad design at all.

Interesting. Multiple women I know started dating co-workers (in entirely different parts of the company) at work parties, and did not think it was bad or unusual. Perhaps interpretations of statements like "don't be a creep" are a lot more diverse than you think.

No personal experience with them, but socketlabs.com is pretty close to mailgun for price.

At a previous job (company sent ~2m emails/day), I was good friends with the engineer in charge of our mail infrastructure and he was really impressed by their platform, particularly the APIs around getting non-deliverability notification.
A few years ago i found a great version of a similar piece that proposed something like a 'sandwich' model for each section, and the work as a whole. A sandwich layer was a hook (something interesting), the meat (what you actually did), and a summary.

I failed to save it and i haven't been able to dig it up again, but I liked the idea. The paper was written in the style it described, as well.

Remember also that salary often reflects luck, willingness to be unethical, and many other qualities that have nothing to do with your worth.

Unethical is a strong word, when employers have had the upper hand for way to long. How many times have you heard "$X is the highest we can go for this position" or "the maximum budget is $Y" only to find out a coworker makes more than $X or $Y? Ever heard that "company policy limits raises to 5%" and then find out someone got 10%?

I have made a science of strongarming raises out of my employers (threatening to quit, using counteroffers as leverage), switching jobs often, and stretching the truth with salary history. For example, when I made $80k with a 20% bonus (I had a good shot of getting it) I reported my "total compensation" as $96k when I interviewed. The next job offered $110k to convince me to sign. It's no more unethical than the old "max budget" line companies give.
Yes, Paul Allen, the great philanthropist, lived understated lifestyle. Unlike other billionaires who live extraordinary exuberant lifestyles and spend only fraction of their wealth on science and humanity, he did all of these:

- private massive rock concerts for himself

- half billion $ yacht with sub and music studio

- buying up sports teams to stroke his ego

- slapping his own name all over instead of people who did actual work

- buying pointless momentas at outrageous auction bids

- keeping an array of private jets

- building massive private properties for himself all over the world

R.I.P another billionaire who used his lottery money on the right stuff and only little on pointless ego enhancement.
Not sure I follow exactly what you're proposing. But it sounds like this was IEX's approach with their self-imposed speed bump.
I just looked at the entries for Germany. There is one: "Correctiv", funded by the Open Society Foundation, which is George Soros' marxist agitprop organisation.

But I've heard they are the good guys, so we can probably assume they'll just check the facts and not put on spin on it, right?
>Thanks for being an example of the type of behavior I was talking about.

Would you care to specifically point out what about my post is relatable to the behavior you were talking about? You yourself actually attacked an entire group of people with opposing view points and used straw man's to do so. I merely bluntly called this out.

>Please refrain from such emotionally charged posts where you don't fully read the content of the parent,

I read it. Please don't violate HN guidelines by insinuating I haven't read what was necessary. You provided no proof that this is even the case.

>than suggests misusing these labels is a crime and finally suggests increasing imprisonment and punishments as a result of not using these labels correct.

It says nothing of the sort.

>You are welcome to debate with me if you believe one of my interpretations are incorrect

This isn't a debate. You have not presented anything that is arguable. You lied about a very basic event that was recorded and has public records contrary to your "interpretation." You also lied about what the law says. It cannot be read even remotely close to the way you are "interpreting" it and indeed it is impossible to enforce it in any manner you are attempting to describe.

Notice your post got flagged by the community. Please take a moment to consider why.
The definition provides a test for whether something actually is the state

Or, in the words of CGP Grey: "Bigger Army Diplomacy." So, the implication, and the content of international law, is that if you have the power to enforce your will in a territory, you have the sovereignty. Someone who advocates for that approach to "activism" is advocating for a violent uprising by force. Someone who advocates for that from within a democratic republic, simply doesn't want to play by the rules anymore.

It's the mark of an adherent to a particular ideology of activism, whose effectiveness (without some other group deploying or credibly threatening violence against the same target that they oppose) and morality in the face of extreme abuses have both been seriously questioned.

Such was remarked about Ghandi's position that non-violence could oppose Fascism. So sure, if you're making an equivalency between the current US government and Fascism. However, that would be a prime example of false equivalency. There's more equivalency between white hooded KKK members and Antifa black bloc running around vandalizing and intimidating than there is between WWII Italy/Germany and 2018's USA.

Nevertheless there is concern about any data that goes into an EMR. There is always concern about what happens in the worst case scenario where something very bad happens to a patient and their whole record is examined in a courtroom after the fact. If, say, a machine learning model predicts that thing X will happen to the patient and it wasn't acted on, a hypothetical lawsuit may go worse for the provider than if the predicted risk of thing X weren't part of the record.

This doesn't mean that the doctors bury their heads in the sand, but it is a part of the reason providers are resistant to adopting these tools. Relying on their own knowledge and intuition may not be better but it won't hurt them as evidence in a hypothetical malpractice suit. The decision support tool has to be sufficiently better to outweigh this.

I hold no opinion on the validity of this line of thinking, but I can say that it is part of the calculus, at least for some.
There are always new people learning old things about the Internet. Much like cleaning, you will never get to 100%, but without effort the problem will be far worse.

lets say an email bounces so the address gets blacklisted, but its a legit email address from a real customer. customer emails in and asks why they arent getting their emails, and customer support should have the tools to handle.

sendgrid: search email address, find the bounces, click the button that says allow and user gets emails.

ses: set up an sqs queue. Pipe all bounces into a db. manage said db. Make a service with ui to search for emails. include a ui to unblock address.
Hmm, I'm assuming this is illegal (otherwise someone would likely be doing it) but why doesn't a high frequency trading firm make a competing application and just keep that order flow for themselves? Why not vertically integrate?
Safety first, full stop, no exceptions.

Until correctness can be done easily in accessible programming languages with a decent developer pool, iteration in this space, along with other life-critical spaces such as trains, planes (and wouldn't automobiles be nice too?) is sadly a long, manual process compared to web development.

Edit: to expand a bit on correctness, think Coq but with the ease of Java or Typescript. Even Rust's safety isn't yet formally proven; that's not a knock on rust, but a demonstration of just how hard it is to do.
Ask HN: What is the new black horizontal line at the top of HN?

A strange tone to this article. "X did this bad thing and obviously this bad thing because they are obviously bad." "To be clear, while excuse here and excuse here, Y did a thing that could be perceived as bad, but not as bad because it's their rules and it has been done before." Really tough to read.

Also, I am not very familiar with the case, can anyone shed any light on whether the justices are remorseful for their overspendings and other wrongdoings? Any links to apologies or denials? Are some not voluntarily resigning because they don't feel like what they did was bad enough? I clearly understand the legislature's faults in this story just want more details from the judges themselves.
And of course "just hook into the EMR" is fraught with problems as it is, what with HL7 quirks and proprietary APIs and homegrown interfaces and all that jazz.

Even "better" when there's no concept of "the EMR". My foray into healthcare IT was at a hospital/clinic district that used no less than 4 EMR systems (one new and one legacy for the main two hospitals, plus one new and one legacy for all the satellite clinics). That's not including the specialized systems for ER, Oncology, Obstetrics/Gynecology...

All for the pursuit of Meaningless Use.

I can come up with examples all day of things people could create where they care about $900 leaving their pocket each month. Dismissing all these projects wholesale (as the parent comment did) is not helpful.
I had a similar experience. I show up at the ER and they do their thing. Doctor says, "the symptoms indicate appendicitis, but the tests (which are mostly just poking you in the side and seeing how bad it hurts) are inconclusive. Normal procedure is to send you home and see how it goes, but I'd really feel more comfortable if we took a CT scan to be sure". At this point I'm in so much pain if he said he wanted to do a voodoo ceremony, I'd have been all in. CT scan reveals I had a weirdly shaped appendix, hidden behind a couple of folds of intestine, in a slightly different area than they are usually in. So the poking test didn't work cause they were poking around in the wrong area. If they'd sent me home I'd have come back with a burst appendix, which is potentially fatal. Ironically, just as they were wheeling me into the operating room, a woman came into the ER with an actual burst appendix so they wheeled me out and took her first.

I had a dog who started having a runny bloody nose all the time. 4 xrays, 2 nasal endooscope procedures and several thousand dollars and still can't figure out what's wrong. In desperation took him to a really good emergency/surgery vet clinic, they did a CT scan and it reveals a large tumor growing on the nasal cavity side of the soft palate. Confirmed with an endoscope going into the mouth and back up into the sinuses, couldn't see it from the front. Super frustrating because it was too late to do anything at this point.

I think using CT scans in the context of a checkup, to look for problems, is bad, because as discussed elsewhere on this thread, if you go looking for something, you'll find something. But if you already know there is a problem, they're the best tool we have for looking inside the body without cutting.

The term is "mainsleeze spam." Just because their customers aren't pushing v!agr4 and their lists are smaller doesn't mean their emails are any less unsolicited.

I agree. This article is off the mark. On the contrary, doctors want tools that will assist them in providing better patient care outcomes. In all my career, I've never met an anesthesiologist, trauma surgeon nor a hospitalist who has ever expressed a concern that technology will make them obsolete. On the contrary, almost universally these individuals are overworked and are thrilled to hear about anything that might save them a little time or make their job easier.

That being said, doctors do not want tools that are clunky, tools that force them to change their existing workflows, tools that run slow, can't pull in relevant data in real-time, rely on fragile HL7 interfaces, etc. Doctors want tools that work for them. Doctors do not want to be fighting or struggling with tools that are supposed to help them. While that may seem obvious, it's a very difficult bar for most software makers to meet -- particularly in the inpatient and ED space.

I can understand the author's perspective -- she's a new resident at Yale New Haven Hospital and previously ran a medical software start-up that closed up shop relatively quickly. It would be convenient to rationalize the failure of her start-up due to fears of new tech. While it may have been a fear of new tech that prevented her start-up from succeeding, it was not a fear of being made obsolete -- it was a fear that her product wouldn't do the job well.

Ah, I apologize, I attributed semi-advocacy where there was more like devil's-advocacy, and its too late for me to edit my post.

Maybe you don't ban anything at all? Maybe above an item that meets viral criteria (or as a click-thru to the post to increase content friction), a viral-disclaimer is put front and center: "This information has not yet been verified but our algorithms have detected that many organizations and individuals have been sharing this".

Don't ban, just discourage via technical means? Like how many companies use the dark-pattern of making it unbearable, but not impossible, to go through the process of unsubscribing or cancelling an account. Whenever anomalous unsourced information appears to be spreading, just increase the consumption friction. Make viral-response a controls problem. If that sounds like a typical engineer response, yeah, sorry, not sorry.

You want the viral response to be critically damped, some arbitrary compromise between stifling information flow and having a situation like in India where some remote villagers killed traveling strangers for being in the wrong place at the wrong time during a viral WhatsApp misinformation situation about child-kidnappings. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-44856910

A Brief History of Shopping: From Sears to Amazon in four uneasy upheavals
The post in question refers to harassment of female founders by VCs. Thus, your wibbling on about how founders work long hours is a non sequitur at two different levels (both the fact that you're attempting to excuse the wrong population and that you're attempting to excuse people for doing the ethically wrong thing 'because busy').

The "inappropriate incidents" bit is not "completely undefined" - it refers to the things in the list that follows. I think for a survey the response was surely detailed enough?
It's equivalent to the flag at half mast:

I feel like mega tech employers like Google will always be an outlier when it comes to pay.

You can't be comparing yourself to others, find yourself, find what you like, and do it, do it well. Try to mix things up to stir the monotony of the bay area, move around?

I wonder how Google can possibly enforce this restriction. At best, it can yank oauth tokens from companies that misbehave AFTER that misbehaviour is made public.

Better than nothing, I guess, but I don't believe that will help Google's perception much. In a few months, with the next cambridge analytica scandal involving Gmail, Google's spiel of 'it's their fault, they didn't follow our policy' won't really protect them except for a very legalistic POV. They will still lose in the court of public opinion.
> There's no reason to remove TLS 1.1 from your server.

I posit there's no reason to support TLS 1.1 on your server. There are very few clients that support TLS 1.1, but not TLS 1.2. So, either you are willing to support clients on TLS 1.0 (or SSLv3), or you aren't.
And to qualify, you usually have to be extremely rich and well-connected, thus enforcing the idea that there are two sets of laws - one for hoi polloi and one for the exalted elite. I think it's better when there's just one, and your rights do not depend on who you know.
