I don't think it's accurate to classify property owners in some of the world's most expensive real-estate markets as "the bottom rungs of society."

And my experience with local city council and school board sessions aren't that different. It's usually the same sorts of people. They're not billionaires, but they're usually pretty materially comfortable. I'd categorize them as being "dream hoarder" types. (https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/06/the-hoa...)
This brought back flashbacks of people asking me to do things that required knowledge that only the requester had, using credentials that only the requester had, with support from people that the requester knows that I did not, and so on. I cannot personally fathom what brings people to do this since it seems to me like it is more work to give these sorts of tasks than to do them.
US engineering wages are 4-5x of what they are in other similarly developed countries. The reason for that is a whole ecosystem of succesful startups/tech companies.

High quality talent from abroad improves the competitiveness of the US ecosystem and drains talent from other ecosystems. I'm going to go ahead and guess that US wages actually go up with less restrictive immigration policies.
These gifts are like gift cards, small amounts and Biterica limits the gift size. People are excited to receive a unique, interesting gift with growth potential. If they really don't like it they can trade it for their local fiat currency right away, avoiding any volatility.
Isn't board name (/o/, /vg/, etc.) and post ID (the number people talk about when they say "trips", "dubs", and so forth) enough to uniquely identify a 4chan post?
This is one reason that interpreting between SVO (e.g. English) and SOV (e.g. Japanese) ordered languages can be so fatiguing. You have to constantly buffer the sentence in your working memory while you wait for the completion before you can output a conventional sounding interpretation. It's even worse with drop-heavy languages, where key words are frequently omitted from the sentence and left to contextual assumption.

Not only that, but a cybersecurity researcher claims to have created a proof-of-concept for this very kind of low-power listening that you claim doesn't exist (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35639549).
You could argue that they would get a one-month visa and top priority for that first month. The employer would have to go through the visa process again for the second contract.
If I were in the situation of unlimited PTO I'd probably track myself and take 5 weeks a year, just so that I can keep the guilt out of my conscious. I'd probably make that clear to my manager as well and put it on him/her to let me know if there are any problems.

Wouldn't this favor large companies? e.g. someone like Google, Amazon may pay the top $ to get talent from abroad but startups or small companies are not able to?

There's a select set of government entities that are so inefficient, bad at what they do and citizen/consumer unfriendly that an evil corporation would be an improvement over the status quo because existing status quo sets the bar on the floor and the evil corporation at least has an incentive to be equally terrible in an efficient way. I put child services, the ATF, DMV (or whatever your local acronym is) and probably a couple others I'm not thinking of in that category.

It seems like the current model, which is import large numbers of software related folks to the US, hurts competition. What I mean by this is that Amazon, Google, etc have a few core businesses that are monopolies (search, online retail, etc) and many ancillary endeavors. Most software people don't work in the core business. If so many software people weren't imported to extend US software giants then some of those people would stay home and develop regional competitors. This would be bad for the company I work for, but for customers it would be good, for foreign software developers who could stay home AND work in a successful domestic company it would be good, and for me it would be good - I'd be paid more.
Another solution was to call it a taking (which it was) and allow it after the city paid the property owners (which the city could have done).

Basically, what the Court did was signal to developers that they must never build anything pretty or legendary that 50 years later might get termed a landmark.

And I say this even though I'm ecstatic that Grand Central Terminal was saved, and very sad that Penn Station was not. These two opinions can co-exist. IMO the city should just have paid for the taking, or found some other way to compensate the owners. And the Court should have said so.

Ask HN: Best comprehensive syllabus for mid-level developer?
Hi all,

I'm a midlevel developer and occasionally (more often than I'd like, really) work with proprietary tools/tech. In light of the recent article on the tech person committing suicide I thought it might be a good idea to do a "refresh" of my skills.

What's the best guide(s) and/or syllabus for what a mid-level person should know? I'm OK with going through all of the college stuff again as the main point of this exercise is to make sure I'm familiar with both all of the things I should know and how to do a deeper dive if necessary. I guess you'd say the goal here is to make sure the "unknown unknowns" just become "unknowns" and the "unknowns" become knowns.

This article makes the mistake of conflating dislike of political correctness with opposition to political correctness.

Nobody likes having to be PC, but I think we all to some extent realize that there are words that we can use whose very usage is considered offensive. For example, Donald Trump is often called non-PC by his supporters and racist by his opponents; but even he's not going around using the "N-word" (which I'm not even comfortable writing in this pseudononymous context).

Of course we chafe at perceived restrictions to what we are "allowed" to say, and we all dislike that things not intended as offensive will be automatically interpreted as offensive even if we were not aware of the offensive implications. Nobody likes that we have all become mini-police officers who wince when someone makes an innocent mistake. And it's entirely possible that this has a slippery slope of treating things as offensive that nobody actually finds offensive because we're worried that some possibly imaginary people will be offended -- that is, we are offended on other people's behalf.

But even so we continue to tiptoe around the fringes, waiting for pop culture and colloquial usage to tell us whether it is appropriate to say "black" or "the gays", both of which seem to have entered ordinary non-offensive usage, but at one point felt pretty offensive.
This is what pisses me off about paying for my internet connection, cellular plan, or television plan: everyone says "if you're not paying, then you are the product, not the customer"

But in all of these, one is paying, and then the argument switches to "your paying for access to the service, which is a cesspool of ads, PII exploitation and sentiment manipulation and if you don't like that, the go fuck yourself - you chose to be online"

So, here is a personal RFS: an ISP that gives me a prefiltered pipe which I pay for.

Ads consume data, if I am paying for N gigs of data per month, then I shouldn't be required to pay the data back haul for shit I would want to block at the client anyway.

That's like paying by the pound for ten pounds of steak at the butcher because my 8 ounce steak is sold to me in a 9.5 pound box if trash.

I challenge common networks to be the first to offer a prefiltered connection, where I manage the filter as far upstream to me as possible, so the data consumption on the last mile is purely desired content. And that all inbound ads and outbound trackers are nixed at the ISP. And offer this ideally as a default package option nearly the same price...

It is consistent but it may not be obviously consistent so I agree there is room for improvement there. The upper left back buttons are always to go to a different "screen" or function. The bottom back buttons are to navigate pages. The confusion with the browser comes simply from the fact that people mix a screen with a page because websites all look different. You're not going to a different screen within the app but you might assume so because you're going back to a different website.

How you would think the E5 is a substitute for an H1B is beyond me. A business isn't going to pay their executive to found and work at an entirely different business, especially if it jeopardizes the business's ability to sponsor future visas with USCIS.
Agreed. In my opinion, labeling someone as too politically correct will only garner a response of "that's not true". So basically anytime anyone says it, it's just name calling, nobody learned anything more about the other person's position or reasoning. Useless.

Presumably the salary they bid would have to be maintained throughout the visa validity (e.g. three years for H1-B).

If the salary ever drops the visa is invalidated and becomes available for bidding by other companies.
>With the exception of the small tribe of devoted conservatives

The "small tribe of devoted conservatives" is much, much larger than "progressive activists". Activists in general tend to be richer and better educated and since income corresponds with race, white. That's because if you're poor, you don't have the time or the money to become an activist.

This isn't really saying very much.
>How did an elite, repressive minority policing speech and culture through political correctness come to browbeat the American democratic majority?

Does the author of this article not realize who controls literally every lever of power in the country?

By "the American democratic majority" does he mean "people who spend too much time on Twitter" and "tenured college professors?" Because that's the only way this thesis about anyone being browbeaten into submission can have even a tenuous relationship with reality.

They didn’t ask if they thought political correctness is a good thing, they asked if it was a problem.

This means that they are asking if it’s an issue that is negatively affecting the world.

If you think pronouns are an issue then you will not think political correctness is a problem even if your definition of it was more extreme than others because as far as you are concerned, few people are being politically correct.
But whether or not the incoming signals ever lead to a new action potential depends on so many factors (spacial, temporal, chemical, biological,... and it's all dynamic on many levels) that can all be called "analog" and are quite diverse that it's hard to call anything "digital". One action potential, that thing that brings to mind the "digital" analogy, really is a very small part in that system.

Though it should be divided by industry. Otherwise, highly paid software engineers will take all the visas and other industries will struggle to match the salary required get a visa. How to divide industry is a very messy business though. Some of our immigration laws divide by industry and those were written 30 years ago. A lot of jobs we hire now didn't exist 30 years ago.
> How did an elite, repressive minority policing speech and culture through political correctness come to browbeat the American democratic majority?

Setting aside whether or not this situation is good, the author clearly thinks it is not, or even accurately describes the situation, the answer to this sort of question can be found in this excerpt from "Skin In The Game" by Nassim Taleb:

https://medium.com/incerto/the-most-intolerant-wins-the-dict...
Yeah. Though it's just about how they avoid talking about liveable wages, but also how issues related to economic inequality in general seems to have quietly shuffled away by lots of politicians and political figures, or how so much political talk in general seems to be about 'social' issues now.

And I'd say the reason for this is twofold:

1. Making social issues the big topic of discussion means millionaires, celebrities and companies can pretend to be 'progressive' while not actually doing anything meaningful to make the world better or help people escape poverty.

2. Stuff like Occupy likely scared the hell out of those with power/property/whatever, which led to a mission to get people fighting among themselves rather than against those with actual power.
Can I say that I hope you don't make this tool too Linux-specific. It seems to run pretty reasonably on Mac and would probably also work on BSD variants. Since I use all three (Mac, BSD, Linux) on a semi-regular basis, I'm pretty unlikely to integrate a tool into my Unix workflows if it doesn't work reliably on most unixes, so if you can look into cross-platform ways to accomplish things, that would widen the audience of people who could get value from the tool.

For example, one way to address the rm problem would be to give it a "safe mode" that drops user permissions and runs as nobody. You might also create a blacklist of common, potentially-dangerous unix commands that you don't execute. Both of those are examples of how to address the need without resorting to Linux-only tricks.
What about having a designation that is independent of any one profession, but possibly applicable to any or all of them? It could (and probably should) be administered by a self-regulating body. Any government or NGO would be allowed to require work product be fulfilled by professionals holding this designation at their choosing. Something like "Privacy-first Professional".
This is bad, but your data should have also resided somewhere outside DO.

It seems like it would be a great case study for someone interested in social psychology or Social Norms Theory or something similar. I remember when I first came across the site 13 year old me being worried if I posted something too stupid people would trace my IP and hack me.

With new users being added in at such a rapid pace it seems like it was impossible to on-board them in terms of generally accepted practice; a eternal summer echo of the "Eternal September" of the usenet days which involves many of the same complaints.
Yes, I was posting this in the context of a clinical study. A good study will try to account for its controls, that was my point. The only problem is in the wide variability of the actual product to be used. There needs to be information on a manufacturer/producer and the form of the lavender oil/extract and application. Taking a bath, topical application, alcohol based mist etc..

Looks like a serious attempt at an ambitious concept. I love how the video showcases what seems to be an actual working prototype, with its capabilities and imperfections – as opposed to the usual trend of AR 'demo' videos that are actually just mockups, and completely unrealistic ones at that (as seen with Google Glass, Pokemon Go, and Magic Leap, just from memory.)

I'm curious about the hardware. Is there a base station or two hiding in a corner somewhere? If there is, why isn't head tracking accurate enough to prevent "sway" of virtual objects with respect to real-world ones, which seems to be visible in the video? But if not, how does it capture the position and pose of the user's hands? In any case, what kinds of sensors are being used?

Unfortunately, when watching the video, what really stands out is that the 3D "ghosts" of the other participants have juddery, unsmooth motion. Surely it couldn't hurt to add a bit of interpolation? It would increase latency, but not by much, given that a user's view of a different user's body pose is not especially latency sensitive.

Edit: On second look, it seems like the HMD is just a Magic Leap One, though that doesn't answer the question of whether there's other hardware in the room.

>Only in some cases where it benefits them. In other cases, they absolutely stand up. It is blatantly obvious that their principles are based on borders and are inconsistent here.

It's your prerogative if you want to continue to insist they're being hypocrites. I don't need Tim Cook to be a saint, I'm happy with the practical wins they've managed to maintain.
And actually the problem is worse - some of those places don't suck, and causing them to RAPIDLY grow in population, turning them into Urban areas that really shouldn't be.

It would be much better if more small towns had similar offerings such that the 10% aren't overrun by people looking to get away from the city.
I'm ok with focusing on Linux as the prime target for up. Though I'm totally trying to think about cross-platform approaches too, obviously.
I'm having a bit of trouble grokking how this experience works for each participant.

I get the AR piece: People who are physically in a location they see their remote peers magically floating in the room with them while they can interact with virtual objects. That's cool.

But what do the remote people see? They don't have the benefit of AR, so I'd imagine they don't experience the real-world environment as they're sitting at a desk with a headset on, or just simply viewing a 3D world like they're playing The Sims?

Wow that second overlay is an impressively rage-based punitive and user-hating dark pattern if I ever saw one.
No. An organisation buys in “agile” as an ideological solution to a lack of disciplined professionals.

Disciplined professionals self organise. No ideology is ever discussed even if they use it.

The difference is focus. And that’s crazy important.

I’ve been at this for 20 years and watched both successful and unsuccessful teams. The most successful team are not ideologically or process driven. And quality, time to market and technical debt is orders of magnitude lower than any externally applied agile class process which is purely focused on delivery and compartmentalisation.
