Personally speaking, $20 is a bargain compared to the cost in personal time and effort to build and install it from source. I imagine that there's a sufficiently large demographic with enough money that $20 is basically free but not enough money to have a personal assistant to set things up while they do something else.
I think you're missing the point. It's a tough sell to relocate someone and give them a lower salary. Who'd take that deal?
>Perhaps that's better than nothing

Arguably, it's worse than nothing for the reasons you described. It's the state-level equivalent of literally shoving things under the rug.
How is this tarring people? For voting?
> But your present and future self are all helpless from that point on.

To me, "helpless" in the context of metaphysical free will means that an agent's actions are deterministic from the view of an outside observer. That is all it can ever mean AFAICT. Any sadness/frustration we may feel about this is equivalent to the sadness/frustration one feels for Heidegger's cat. That is to say, it's there, but it's philosophically incidental.

"Helpless" in the context of physical free will means the normal meaning of helpless in all its glorious ambiguity. It can mean something close to "deterministic" in certain catastrophic situations. But more often it means something like "under the rule of a tyrant," "enslaved," or even "trapped" for whatever reason. In all those cases the sadness/frustration/etc. one feels is part and parcel of the outcome-- it affects whether one decides to fight, acquiesce, cope, etc. Since nobody within physical reality has sufficient knowledge to predict the future, the problem of metaphysical free will doesn't pop up.
People can be a lot of things, not sure where you’re going here. You yourself interpreted something different from me myself and I. Possibly possible.
Thanks for the feedback. This is far from negative. There is definitely value in comparative docs that lets users get a quick overview, and we will put one together.

However we also want to start new conversations in the community about containers and orchestration and reach users who find existing platforms too complex. And we have put together a lot of content to kindle these discussions.

More technical scrutiny could lead to simplification and lower barriers for both users and developers.

Its a puzzle how paintings were added tens of thousands of years apart, yet not cluttered by random additions in the intervening thousands of years.

Its also rather sweet how the stick-people added 15 thousand years ago, are holding hands and dancing. Perhaps someones note of celebration on finding the older paintings ?
Funding everything with taxes concentrated power in a government that then becomes a honeypot to be abused by the wealthy. I absolutely do not think that is a good way forward.

If you're within driving distance of Seattle, you're still in the catchment area for working there though. The equivalent would be living in New Jersey or Connecticut or Long Island and working in New York City - which hundreds of thousands of people do.
Yeah, I'm agreeing with you?

My comment is that in less desirable locations people need to be paid more to be there if they don't have to be. The cost of living is not really relevant.
In fairness, black folks in the South have legitimate reasons to be a bit leery of a public "here's who voted" list. Plenty alive today were alive during Jim Crow.

This just isn't true, but I think the problem here is a semantic one. It is true that the more finely tuned your analysis is, the less reasonable it is to conclude that sexism or so called "patriarchy" plays any kind of role.

Judging by various new grad looking for a job forums for CS that I've seen (and yes, that is self selecting to a particular set), it is either someone hyper focused on compensation (has sent out 1000 applications... 100 to each of the top 10 tech companies, looking for a job that pays significant six figures for a new grad) or is looking for a place where they will feel needed and can change the world.

I've seen the "I've been looking for a job for six months and a recruiter contacted me about a position at {finance, defense, public sector, back office retail}, but I turned them down because I don't want to work in that industry."

Sometimes its a "you keep saying that you're looking for a job, but you aren't applying where there are openings."

I've worked big tech before the layoffs in '09. Since then I've worked back office retail, GIS logistics and now public sector... I won't say that any of them are jobs that I would say that I love (they aren't the dream job), but I am able to find meaning in them and enjoy the work that I do because there are hard problems to solve. When I was looking for a job, I took my time picking, but I didn't say "no" when they had an offer and I was unemployed.

One of the things that the line that I mentioned above...

> Butcher has a high-school diploma and a resume filled with low-wage jobs from Target and Walmart to a local grocery store. He’s being selective as he searches for new work because he doesn’t want to grind out unhappy hours for unsatisfying compensation.

Switching jobs every few months trying to find one that is satisfying means that the next employer isn't going to invest as much to train that person and isn't as likely to chose that person for promotion to those higher paying jobs within the company.

One may claim that they value their (in this case just a high school diploma job) at $40/h, but if they can't produce $20/h of value for the company, well, they're not going to get hired at $40/h.

I suspect you may have some issues:

lax -c 'xyz^(alpha(x-2))'
\sqrt[xyz]{alpha(x-2)}

Here, I suspect that alpha is intended to be a single identifier. Yet, TeX will typeset this as a product of the five terms a, l, p, h and a.

Note how in the case of sqrt, there is a special control sequence \sqrt and not just a clump of four letters. Without the backslash, it would just be the product term s q r t.

You need something like \text{alpha} or whatever is the correct approach; not sure about this.

But then you have an ambiguity in your source language: why is xyz a product of terms, but alpha a single term.

You might need some notation like \alpha which will mean "the clump of letters which follows is a unit". Your code can decide whether this is something standard like sin, so that \sin can map to \sin, or whether it is nonstandard, requiring treatment like \alpha -> \text{alpha}.
Or other ideas: let the user define the symbols, and use "maximal munch": take the longest consecutive sequence of letters that exists as an entry in the user's dictionary of variables and functions.
The hobbyists find many different kinds of satisfaction in amateur radio. In my early days, my knack was building antennas and chasing dx down on HF. Later, I was into VHF: more antennas, preamps, hacking FM limiter - detector circuits, chasing tropospheric dx. Radio math as better hardware.

That was all before the arrival of software defined radio. Radio math as computer code.

Some of my nerdy friends can't stand analog voice and CW, preferring instead to push bandwidth limits on the microwave bands, doing mesh networks, etc.

Hehe, we can't all be hardcore HF/AM godfathers like Timtron WA1HLR. Big signals from home, big signals from WBCQ :-)

I didn't mean to come off quite as harsh as that. There are plenty of goal sets that align well to being outside of the city; but I do think that y'all are the minority. When playing the numbers in trying to staff huge multi thousand head campuses catering to a specific minority doesn't add up.
There's 8.6 million people in the NYC legal limits, over 20 million in it's greater metro, and a way more diverse economy. You'd need waaaaay more tech to get anywhere close to SV, which just isn't that big population wise.

It's exciting. Google has been talking about expanding its presence forever. At least since purchasing the Chelsea Market complex. The Youtube studio is an amazing space. As is the AWS Loft downtown. Cornell Tech will have a new campus on Roosevelt Island. And Brooklyn has its New Lab / Navy Yards that is almost a tech city unto itself. It feels like there's community. And a multitude of events every day and night. With rents stabilizing, and burgeoning FinTech and AI momentum, I just think everyone at some point in their lives should consider a stint in the city ;)
Counterpoint: these jobs are increasingly meh and will not be impactful on the local economy.

Lifetime comp (salary + retirement benefits) for Amazonians in Crystal City will probably be less than for comparable Federal workers.

Google is like any other white collar business now - a small cadre of well paid execs surrounded by an army of people just doing ok.

80% of Googlers in NYC will probably have lower lifetime earnings than firefighters or cops once you factor in pensions

These companies are just factories with desks

According to the post the server cert is not sent in the server hello, but later in the handshake, after encryption has been established.
Documentation is a moving target. Depending on your project, you often have to mix background explanations with code samples. Fields evolve. New people show up. Documentation can never really be good enough. Books provide a way of filling in certain gaps in a structured way that gives people more background. Often times, people expect documentation to do more than this. I tend to agree with you, but it's not what end users end up needing a lot of the time.
Generally, practices that garner popularity in the middle and upper class have life improving properties, whether physical, social, or mental. That doesn't mean they don't create a class barrier, but that's a consequence of financial means more than anything imo.
They do still offer it to the better options on their service. Often the ones without pro photos are new or not popular. I think they can make the assumption that if an owner won't put in much effort with their own photos, they won't make a very attentive host. It's trivial to take average photos, ask a friend for help, trade accommodation with a photographer or even pay for a professional.

This article is hard to parse, and I'm a pilot, but my approximate summary:

-Angle of attack sensor was faulty, twice. It was replaced the day before the accident.
-Malfunctioning angle of attack sensor can confuse the plane when the autopilot is off.
-Even when the autopilot is off, confused computers can still try to (erroneously) correct for erroneous sensor input.
-Human pilots are expected to recognize sensor failure and computer confusion and disconnect affected systems and fly manually.

Back to back failing sensors? That's really bad. Planes don't get confused, but computer software obviously can, and did, but there's a whole ergonomics and user interface aspect that to this day still thrusts a lot of competing information for pilots to sort out. There's no contiguous start to finish automation in aviation, something that should be easier in many ways than automobiles due to high degrees of standardization, and it's that, on top of how rapidly confused automation systems get when fed erroneous information that makes me think the idea of replacing pilots in planes or cars is still a fairy tale.
Voter records are public. Even the absentee lists are made public 1-2 day after the vote. They'll be doxxed regardless.
Diwali 2018: Hindu Festival of Lights
I was in Des Moines a couple of weeks ago to do interviews for our office there. The talent pool of people who would want to work in Des Moines is very local, and the quality is far lower than in bigger metro areas. (the distribution curve skews right) Anyone with talent there tended to want to move out of the area. We ended up postponing our hiring.

Des Moines favors people that want to settle down and have a quiet, comfortable suburban life. It is a nice, clean, orderly place with lots of new infrastructure. The landscape is pristine and beautiful. It has all the creature comforts you need. Nothing wrong with that--if anything, Des Moines is a hot real-estate market right now, including surrounding areas like Ankeny--but by definition that doesn't attract ambitious people.

You can have a good career in Des Moines working for big insurance companies etc. (and many do). But it is not a hot house for the upper end of tech talent. You're looking at a different range of talent there.
There is more demand for working in NYC than is currently met by existing tech offices, that simply isn't the case in other metro areas.

The real problem is that Google is choosing to expand in the neighborhood they are currently in, where the same applies to Amazon should the Long Island City rumors be true. Regional transportation infrastructure already prioritizes midtown and the financial district, and there are tons of distressed areas regionally, that still certainly do benefit from a growing economy all around.
I was pretty clear about my point in my original post, and even quoted the sentence in question.

Though it's disingenuous to reply multiple times to a HackerNews post to make a trivial point and then complain about wasted time -- you choose how to spend your time.

Who knows? The behaviour I've observed suggests it may, but it's such an opaque system that it's hard to know.

For example, there's suggestions that people have had better success if they're sending HTTP obfuscated data to an endpoint that also responds to HTTP requests. The implied situation here is that the GFW might see mass HTTP data to an IP, then try to query it itself. If it gets no results, it's probably not a HTTP server but rather obfuscated VPN data. It'll then choose to drop or aggressively throttle data to that IP.

In my experience, I've had a VPN go more or less dead for a couple of days after about 30 days of use, before recovering after I leave it for a bit. In the interim, I can spin up a second IP and be fine on that one. That said, it was also to a streisand instance, which does respond to a HTTP(S) request on the IP, so maybe this heuristic wasn't my tell.

So maybe I was instead picked up because I globally routed all traffic directly at one IP and never went outside that. Others have suggested success on keeping VPNs active longer if they occasionally browse directly to random sites, so that the GFW sees their IP accessing a multitude of sites and therefore doesn't look as much like all data is going to a single IP. I've not had any noticeable anecdata to go either way on this.

The reality is, no one trying to jump the GFW truly knows how the GFW does its DPI. Moreover, as a reply said to my original post, the GFW isn't a single entity and differs across cities and regions in China.
Sure, and there are other historical warts like that. I never said SUSE was always like this (quite a large number of people know SUSE from SUSE Studio -- a proprietary product) but these days we are definitely at least as "open" in this sense as Red Hat.

I agree pre-determination is orthogonal to the question. If the state machine has a truly random component, pre-determination goes out the window.

> [...] if we remove the prior state modifier from the generate state function then the core piece that is left over is "your basest existence".

I think removing the prior state modifier leaves you with nothing. A brain with no prior state is a brain with absolutely no memories, knowledge, or stored procedures. Even if such a brain were possible to construct, plasticity would ensure that unless it was dead, it would immediately begin accumulating prior state with which to make subsequent choices.

Elixir and Phoenix seem to have very fast release cycles. I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing. It's great to add a lot of features, or remove the ones that don't really work, but it also renders literature obsolete pretty quickly.
In old cars it was a quick test to see if the alternator was working so some people still think that this is a good idea, IT IS NOT! newer alternators are controlled via LIN bus by the BCM so to generate more current when needed not just using battery voltage as a reference, if you disconnect the battery the voltage can go up to 30v even a bad battery or one with very low charge can make the charging system either shut off or go nuts.
I'm a little scared to consider the hybrid approach since I think it's highly likely Apple will only let mac store code execute on the ARM side of the house. They can tout the security benefit (which is real), but they get to collect their 30%. If apple ever gets to a point where they ditch x86 macOS is no longer a general purpose OS and that's pretty much its whole appeal.

I'm not personally that interested in a hybrid mac as getting rid of the power draw of an intel cpu and all the weight and technical baggage it comes is the real draw of an arm mac for me.

What I really want is to hand apple a little over $1000 and walk away with a laptop form factor with nothing but one of their fantastic A series SoCs inside and running full macOS where I make all the decisions. The gpu being so much better than the anemic intel integrated stuff in my current air is a big part of the attraction of the A series chip running macOS.

I don't think the air branding will go away. Apple spoke so much during this last event about macbook air being people's favourite mac I can't see them giving up on such positive branding. It's far and away the best selling mac and has been for close to a decade.

I work for a large insurance company that has a large RHEL deployment. We don't buy support really, it's just licenses to use with support attached. We'd use Centos in a heartbeat but Oracle and IBM won't support Centos. Our managers know the value for the support isn't really worth it, but it's about two factors: having someone on the other line to yell at when things go pear shaped, and also having teflon armor in case another manager uses an incident as ammunition in a fight for prestige.
NYC is not going to become a monoculture because of an expansion of a company that already has a large presence in the city.

Furthermore, the bizarre obsession with city “culture” is completely beyond me and has lead to some pretty regressive housing policies.
