we use staticman for a static / jekyll site, it adds comments via forms and github pull requests. works well if you're not exactly drowning in comments and if only minimal moderation is required.

some recent blog articles describe similar systems, e.g. https://www.bhnywl.com/blog/comments-for-your-static-blog-wi...
Neither am I suggesting that "don't respond" is the right thing to do here. However SWAT teams must know that uncorroborated calls are almost certainly fake, and they should act accordingly.

Arguably regular police could check the situation out first?

>Those individuals are voting with their money.

In that case, a person with more money will have more influence over that police/court etc to favor them.

How's that different (except cruder) than the current scheme, where the do it through influencing government first? It just makes it more explicit and removes any counter-balances.
Irony that might be true on the internet but not in the real world.
The mutual exclusivity is naive at best.

To me, it shows haters' level of intellect. And perhaps explains why they feel left out. They're attached to an ideal of what 'art' (additionally, activism[1]) should be. An outdated, 20th century one.

I personally don't like Google. And I understand your framing is hypothetical.

But why is tech framed the opposite of art?

Why is tech equal to techbro?

Yea there are always bad apples. But I wonder what Da Vinci would think about holding art in the opposite category as tech?

I'd argue they're more synonymous than opposite. To me, there's creativity. Both art and tech are creative. Applied creativity pertains to both code or a paint canvas.

Either way, the best, most valuable work to society is often never been done before.

Can anyone name an art piece (or if I'm being generous, an art movement) in the last 15 years that's made the level of impact as Google? Or cryptocurrency?

Ultimately, to me, the 'artists' need to up their game. Big time.

[1] Protest city hall if you feel gentrified. Especially in SF where it's largely illegal to build housing. Also, regarding gentrification, you don't hear the positive stories of immigrant families whose businesses flourish because of increased capital in an area, or those who feel safer, or even those who cashed out and sold their 50k house for 1.2 million. Again you hear a largely misdirected, dated and one-sided argument.
I've also been living in Berlin for the last 2 years. I want to point out that you said "immigrants, these are not the people doing the protesting" is basically wrong. Of course you can not see homogenous group in the protests, and it's easy to pick the people who fits to the stereotypes in your head. ("These guys wearing antifa hoodies, they can't be immigrant they must be leftist germans so the immigrants are not protesting" or "Oh this guy definitely looks Turkish, so the protesters are immigrants")

As it's stated by others also, the area was ghetto and the border to East Berlin, separated by the death strip and the wall. So "the unwanted" people located here. (they've been invited by the German government to repair the country after the young working population died in WWII)

Now the wall is gone, the place become hip again, and the people are "unwanted" again. And if you say that the local immigrants (mostly Turkish) doesn't protest, it's basically misinformation and not recognising their efforts to keep the area what it's been for many decades: a cultural hub of the misfits. (immigrants, punks, musicians, artists etc.)

https://www.bizim-kiez.de
One of the main initiatives by the local immigrants.
(Bizim means "our" in Turkish, and Kiez means "neighbourhood" in German)

Most of the people moved here because it was cheap and the society was welcoming the misfits. But what you say as "economic development" is destroying the culture there and pushing people out of the town. If you create a big startup hub there, all the shops will transform into hipster cafes and restaurants... Which is happening for many years and if you can't see this, open your eyes a bit. How can you expect people who live there for the last 50-60 years to pay the increasing rent, while their income doesn't because they don't work in a Startup? How can you expect a grocery store who sells cheap vegetables to compete with a vegan smoothie store, which sells the exact vegetables for 5 times the price, or even more? And after all the places will be gentrified, the rents will go even more up... then you will start protesting the smoothie prices goes up. (Which you think is happening there, which is not!)
How philanthropy is a way for the rich to preserve inequality that benefits them
no it isn't.
That's one way to look at it but it belies the fact that the box was designed and intended for 6, not 4. They didn't force and extra 2 in the box, it's not out of spec.

Ask HN: Would a “suggestive” domain affect email deliverability?
I'm offering a service that emails people (opt-in) when good deals are found in a certain industry. I want to buy a domain like barelylegalcars dotcom. My hesitation is that this could negatively affect email deliverability, triggering some kind of adult content spam filter. Someone here always seems to work in a relevant field, I would appreciate any input.
You are hugely exaggerating the impact of wolves on anyone but farmers (there’s likely legit discussion to be had here) and elk hunters (who cares?).

I agree. Which you'll note is less harmful than actually assaulting or possibly killing someone.

I'm not saying the guy who made the phone call is innocent! Just that he's less guilty than the guy who pulled the trigger.

Everything in the world could be framed in-terms of power struggles, yes. Class warfare could blanket all reality and ultimately tearing down perceived unjust structures and individuals might usher in the utopia. But you've got to be a simpleton sheep to think that way. You invite the dictator-with-solutions in with that line of thinking.

I am more tolerant and wise than you because I can separate political thought and speech from political action. You, apparently, cannot. I am being charitable by calling you a control freak who cannot handle having their deeply cherished opinions challenged.

The initial offers are often higher than 400 for Senior Software Eng, Senior Data Scientists, Senior Machine Learning Research Scientists and Engineers. 600 is actually pretty common for experienced people. On paper, there are no Juniors (there are associates in Marketing and Business and I think other teams). They pay top of the market according to their Excel sheets.

Netflix does not have "tech lead" or "Principal" roles for the Software or Science teams. It is Senior, then you have Managers (who can be paid less than Seniors), Directors (no senior Directors), VP (no Senior VPs), and C-suite (with comp that is publicly available).

Probably 2/3 of my day job is implementing Azure Devops for our internal and client applications - personally I really like it although it certainly has a learning curve and some things are non-intuitive. But everyone I've talked to who has used it in a professional context more than once (e.g. not tried it once and given up) is more-or-less very happy with the quality and reliability.

If you're good with Powershell it's also extremely easy to write your own build and/or release steps which is a huge plus.

Yes, by people who moved there from other areas of Germany (for example to elude the draft). The "swabian invasion" many Berliners face is not a recent thing.
When I first launched Gophish a few years ago, I sent an email to a reporter I'm a fan of basically saying "Hey, I made this thing, I think your readers would benefit from it".

Their response was lightheartedly asking me if I really just sent them an email about a phishing simulation toolkit and expected them to click the links in the email :D
The tech ecosystem in Berlin is pretty diverse. It doesn't need an SV firm to come in to do that or to give access to facilities and other resources.
I think a good middle ground is taking care of an open source project. Something simple but important, where experience counts a lot more than rambunctious energy to add a bunch of poorly thought-out features that will cause problems.

Maybe you're right. Somewhere in this discussion someone was talking about disconnect between the rich and the poor and to be completely honest, I'm completely disconnected. Everyone around me can afford it, I don't know anyone who can't except for my family members who are retired.
A prank call to summon emergency help is still a call to summon emergency help. The intent to prank, the fact that you were "just kidding", has no bearing on the outcome.

Yes, the fault ultimately lies with the person who pulls the trigger, but there's a reason mob bosses are considered murderers when they may have never physically killed someone. It's totally foreseeable that you are throwing an innocent person into a hostile situation; in fact, that's the whole point.

My guess is a lot of people retire early because they are ill, that a lot of those studies have the causation backwards.
I bet if we had AI police robots shoot someone after classifying their pose as "reaching for pants" people would freak. Yet we have the best computer doing this and some people say it's a feature not a bug!
Do you think the policeman who shot him didn't intend to kill him?
There's also a plethora of writings showing that using only using humans in court _will and has_ go wrong.

There's probably a plethora of writings showing that using both humans and AI _will_ go wrong.

The question isn't _will_ they go wrong (they will) it's a question of will they do it less.
And conversely just because one story is not 100% true doesn't mean that every story is not true, which is what most academics appear to assume.
I believe your chances of staying "with it" increases if you have something meaningful to do and to exercise both your body and mind.

My late grandpa was still quite bright when he was in his 90's. He kept doing work around the house and going for hikes till his last days.

If I ever get to retire before I die, I'll find something to do for "work", but I'll probably not work for someone else.
good and bad is an opinion.
A lot of well paying jobs are very stressful. Meanwhile many low-skill jobs are not stressful. On top of that, well-off people frequently feel a lot of stress for "keeping up with the Jones".

Sure, we could say that well-off people stress is not as important and they just shouldn't stress about unimportant stuff. But stress is stress and people ability to stress out is relative, not absolute. Even today's poor people are much better off than average people from 200 or 2000 years ago. Yet average stress level seems to be getting higher and higher.
I believe that the idea that patents are necessary for creativity and invention is false. I think patents are actually very detrimental to new invention since people often can't use past patented ideas.

Like licenses in professions, the only true reason we have patents is to reduce competition for incumbents. This is why VCs like them so much... It creates a moat.

At most patents should give a short head start in the market, not be a guaranteed competition crusher.
Write AI that better curates news items.
One viewpoint from those who didn't want the start-up campus in Berlin, from the Berliner Morgenpost [https://www.morgenpost.de/berlin/article215652919/Nach-dem-G...]:

Sehr viel drastischer formulierte es Ulrike Schneider, Aktivistin beim Initiativkreis „Google-Campus & Co verhindern“, die den Konzern beschimpfte: „Google ist und bleibt ein Scheiß-Konzern, der seine Gewinne mit Überwachung, Ausschnüffelei, Zusammenarbeit mit Militär und Geheimdiensten sowie Steuertricks macht.“

> Ulrike Schneider, an activist at the initiative group "Stop Google-Campus & Co", criticized the company even more drastically: "Google is and will always be a shit company, that makes its profit through monitoring, snooping, working with the military and secret services, and tax [evasion] tricks."

I'm sure most local residents mostly care about rent prices going up in that area, though, rather than a specific anti-Google sentiment. They probably don't want it to be gentrified as another district, similar to what happened/is happening to Prenzlauer Berg.
Wondering if Pathfinder made it to this release? Perhaps pcwalton could chime in?
63 is the average retirement age in the US, though. And the better part of a decade past the average for many countries with more socialised services (for example, Australians retire at 55 on average).
That was simply an amusing illustration of an English word which lacks a clean etymology or consistent usage
Even if they didn't do that, what happens when you share your house with one or more room mates? Are all of you electronics and your social media accounts, or even worse, bank accounts, in danger, because, well 'someone in this house is suspect of doing a boo boo, so we're confiscating everything'?
GP is phrased pretty poorly and disrespectfully. Though I think there is a decent underlying point.

People are generally pretty good at not putting questionable, critical parts into vehicles. Hopefully that holds for the software "part" as well. Maybe if software engineering moves towards better testing practices, we'd have reliable methods to test whether firmware was safe or not.

Many states already require vehicle safety inspections to address concerns such as yours. I could see states requiring manufactures work with the state to provide a way to inspect the firmware for safety, (not just checking the hash against the manufacturer code).

It's not about whether "they want Google to exist", that's just reducing the whole thing to absurdity. It's not about mere existence. It's about whether they're fine with the approaches taken by the company and whether they're suddenly opposing it when it directly affects them.

Microsoft is deliberately trying to be the biggest open source company in the world so I think Skype may not be the best example, maybe .NET core.
People don’t work at jobs for life any more. It’s common for younger people to switch jobs every 2-3 years. In this environment, it makes more business sense to work employees hard because the company doesn’t need to consider long term health. This creates a kind of prisoner’s dilemma where’s its only advantageous to invest in employee’s long term health if other companies do so as well.
Yeah, that does kind of point to avoiding the royalty, doesn't it?
You're equating our currently accepted laws of physics as being the only true set of physical laws. How naive to assume that what we know now is the only truth.

That's really silly, but demonstrates Netflix's pay strategy. They don't pay better than other FAANGs - the comments in this thread indicate they pay less than the top FAANGs. But then they use the fact that it's "all cash" to appeal to folks who are misguided about RSUs.

Am I understanding this right? The choroid layer behind the retina gets slightly thinner when we look at dark details on a bright background, and slightly thicker when we look at bright details on a dark background, and somehow this causes an opposite effect in the overall eye growth over time. So spending a lot of time looking at dark letters on a bright background would cause the eye to become too long and unable to focus on objects far away.

Is there an explanation for why the choroid changes its thickness, and why this change would create an opposite effect in eye growth over a longer period?
This. IANAL but the eroding of taking mens rea (intent/knowledge) into account does not bode well for justice in the long-term.
What I've heard (but many years ago) is that the legal profession in general is extremely tech-hostile (some is just cultural, but some is that it gets in the way of billable hours).

I don't know how much of that has changed now, especially with younger lawyers growing up with tech, getting in and wanting to do things a certain way.
It is cheaper than taxis on average.

There are local companies that are a bit cheaper, as others have already said.
This looks great for clients, but I think you’re right about law clerks and the like, and the implications are a little sad.

Time was if you wanted to get into law you’d join a firm as a clerk, learn the ropes, study for the bar, then become a lawyer.

The professionalizarion of law has pretty much ended that pipeline, with an expensive and arduous undergrad->law school->lawyer route instead. The replacement of junior staff with AI could effectively kill that route permanently.

My only hope is that legal AI will help bring down cost and increase access to legal aid for poor people in urban and rural communities where there is far too little supply to meet demand when people need legal aid the most.
I, too, must have grown up after the poutine enlightenment. It’s been a delicious comfort food for as long as I can remember!

But mayo on fries? What the hell is that?! :D

Edit: although, back to the idea of cultural appropriation... we have poutine in Saskatchewan, and it’s fantastic, but it’s definitely not Québécois poutine. I spent a week in Montreal this summer and the poutine there is on a whole other level of amazingness.

What happens now that the AI-generated painting sold for $400,000?
To the level that this is true (the "reproducibility crisis" has been blown out of hand because the general public confuses reproducibility with generalizability), this is because of the exact opposite of what you claimed earlier -- it isn't "groupthink" but the exact opposite -- the individuality of scientists not thinking as a group and wanting to demonstrate their own unique takes rather than just redoing what others have done.
Does, not, apply.

One could even say that GitHub was "embracing & extending" Git (pull requests, issue trackers, wikis) well before the acquisition.
It's a very common term amongst security engineers. There are entire series of talks related to security and vulnerabilities that are introduced by DevOoops.

It's like some companies had testers, but then they turned them into developers also, and at the same time everyone becomes an ops person. What could go wrong?
Your statements sounds a little confused. Everything stagnates, suffer from miss-direction, or just become irrelevant. Someone in an earlier post mentioned sourceforge for example. we just have to hope that this acquisition doesn't make it happen anytime soon.
> OTOH, the less you discharge it, the more you'll cycle it

While by some accounting it may be more cycling (although I think most count total energy in/out for cycles), it is much easier on the batteries. They are pretty robust in the midle regions.
It's a little off-point, but I can't help to note a bit of unmentioned fallout to exploitable voting machines -- I early-voted last week in Atlanta and again (as on every other voting day in Atlanta for the last 7-8 years) the voting booth had no curtains and virtually no privacy. I assume this is to make it more difficult for someone to swap in a card that could compromise that voting machine somehow. But I'd love to see an article addressing this issue - in some areas of the country you must vote 'publicly' - because the touch points are so huge on each screen (and color-coded) - each of your selections can [and are] seen by the poll workers. I'm too lazy to research this further, but isn't voting anonymity guaranteed/implied somewhere in our country's codicils (incorrect term, but you know what I mean)

They aren't denying Google and it's employees the right to move to Berlin, there's tons of areas in Berlin for tech companies to be, some tolerant of them, some actively trying to get more companies to move in. (and of course Google legally would have been free to move in despite the protests, but choose not to). That's needlessly over-the-top rhetoric for a localized protest.
Yeah, I didn’t mean to absolve the swatter. It’s clear that there should be heavy deterrence for such behavior. But I’m not sure he intended to have his targets killed either.
Long ago companies had testers, but then they turned them into developers also, and at the same time everyone became an ops person too. What could go wrong?
