We banned you for using yet another account to break HN's guidelines, as we've done before and as you've done before. We couldn't care less which establishment you criticize.

A common trollish trick is to use explicitly female usernames, so when we come down hard on them, it looks like we're abusing women. Another common troll trick is to make self-serving proclamations about why they were banned.

If you want to participate on HN, you need to take the spirit of this site to heart, as described at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, and use it only as intended.
A more generous interpretation would simply be that "shill" was used as a proxy for "selfish." But that doesn't even matter, you can ask that poster what they meant. Context should tell you they were doing nothing more than vaguely commenting on their feelings. You really don't have to dig into it.
This is such a paternalistic view of people and what they want out of life. Yes, overwork is often an issue. And it is often indicative of underlying problems. But there are lots of people who want to work more than 40 hours/week. We are created by DNA. Part of that legacy is competing with other organisms for limited resources. I work a lot. Because there are things I want which can only be obtained with money. And the price of some of those things is determined by what other people will pay.

The problem with maintenance in India is lack of will power in local governments (not national government).

State and local governments in India are filled with incompetent fools (pardon my French) who only want the power and fame. They're often uneducated, often unexposed to the rest of the world and have the ego of a supreme emperor to do anything that would improve their citizen's lives.

Education is a major problem in India. Until they achieve an entire generation of great education all the way down to villages, this will not improve.
Honestly this seems to be the MO for people with power today. The top bankers in the 2008 financial crisis, Trump with the Mueller investigation and now Googles top brass. They all stay a step away from the dirt, even though they all have some amount of culpability to their various misdeeds.

Scapegoating this as poly problems is a terrible thing to do. Google has serious managerial issues, bred by previous and current executives shitty behaviour (to borrow from the article).

Google has... literally hundreds of domains. Just assuming *.google.com would miss things like googleusercontent.com or googleapis.com or doubleclick.net. The Facebook container basically grabs "all domains by Facebook" and sandboxes them together (so they can still interoperate amongst themselves), while isolating it off from other sites you visit.

Sure, you could do a lot of this yourself with different browsers/browser profiles/containers, but it'd be far better to have someone provide that list as a prebuilt addon.

Thanks for the reference. It was an interesting read:

Yet Soros wasn't the biggest single speculator to hold a position against the currency. Julian Robertson's Tiger Fund had three times the exposure of Soros with almost $3 billion bet against the baht. If anything, Julian Robertson would have been more motivated to engineer Thailand's decline.

It seems there were only rumors that Soros had anything to do with it, all the while someone else was more profitable than him. And given that he was already famous for the GBP trade why not blame him?

What is interesting is that people don't seem to understand the consequences of pegs. It is much easier to paint a picture of greedy investor. But in most cases it has nothing to do with the investor and all up to the central banks. Something similar happened in the swiss franc and here's what happened to Soros:

If you're referring to the move away from suburbs as a "fad" that you oppose, you're on the wrong side of history. Suburbs are extremely wasteful, boring, and lacking in opportunity for their residents. We need to get as many people into the urban centers as possible.

Article title is an excerpt from a quote about FB management. Interesting article, mainly about morality not being much of a consideration in "schools of leadsership / management". The title isn't entirely related to the content.

"The truth is, Harvard Business School, like much of the M.B.A. universe in which Sandberg was reared, has always cared less about moral leadership than career advancement and financial performance."

This is based on what society's measures are. Success (career advancement) and Wealth (financial performance). Easy.

Morality is only ever factored in when you get caught, in which case it becomes a race to find better wording than your accuser around mitigating circumstances, the greater good, well intentioned, and good old fashioned finger pointing. Let the lawyers sort that shit out, I got money to make over here...

You have to believe your own bullshit in order to achieve the success that gets you that wealthy in the first place, and that kind of personality will disregard moral issues if they're only lightly touched on as part of their 'leadership and management' education; if they're not forced to face the potential consequences of immoral behaviour.

The big unanswerable question (I have, anyway) is:
Would society be better or worse off if the Bill Gates' and Elon Musk's and Sheryl Sandberg's of the world reigned in their win-at-all-costs personalities in order to be more respectful?

Are these people pushing humanity forward at a reasonable price? Do the ends justify the means?

The answer is unknowable and also variable depending on the individual in question.

New environments are given a new, uniquely named security group (SG) by the service. Additional SGs can be supplied to allow access to the environment. There is a situation you can get into if you supply an SG auto-created by another environment which might be what is happening here? The documentation has a note that calls out how to avoid this dependency issue [1]. If that is not what is happening here, I am happy to help but might need more information about your environments.

"Please don't bring your concerns to the sort of people who get called to testify under oath before Congress" seems like a very plausible decision for a business to make. Kent Walker is who they send to testify, Sundar Pichai, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin are the people Congress would like to compel to testify.

Presumably the less concerns they're personally aware of, the less they have to answer for.

It's plausible to me that Sergey Brin, who has been fairly peripheral to Google's business side for a long time, may have been kept in the dark since he was the one most against returning to China (and he claimed he didn't know about it at the TGIF). But there's no way the executive team in general wasn't on board with what Beaumont was doing.

> capable of predicting and eliminating perceived threats to the stability of the ruling Communist Party.

That’s funny. That level of threat can’t be from normal everyday commute people(quite different from 1989 where many citizens feel empathy for students, revolution doesn’t have any community support now). I could only think three entities: foreign sabotage, terrorism or revenge and a military rebellion. In any of those case, they can’t be using electricity car lol

Or don’t use the word threat. I assure you every minute tens of thousands people in China blame the party or some leader in a trackable way. You got be at some scale bigger than the noise
I really wish people would stop abusing the word "poverty" until it has no meaning.

$60k is not poverty in New York City. I know many families who live there, 100% of them make under $60k/family/year.
That's fair. The point still stands.
What about the other perspective, from the company's side? They set up their processes, expectations, and pay based on a 40 hour work week. It's great that you want to work and be paid more, but they have no obligation to be the ones to provide that. Maybe they are trying to actively discourage that feeling of animalistic competition within the office, because it will have a negative impact on the organization, external to the individual's choice to work longer.

Governments and the church have supported that career structure for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. For example, military officers take salary, perks and retirement.

Also large, long lived companies like the 17th century East India Company employed tens of thousands of people, many for decades.

China also has centuries old companies and civil service institutions.

Neither entrepreneurs nor megacorps are recent inventions.
Those people should go home and work on side projects. They’ll get to make something they like, learn new things, and protect the rest of their coworkers from a toxic work environment.
I'm a former Marriott guy who came in with quals to get Platinum + Ambassador. I'm not super happy with the transition, specifically the removal of the rollover nights - my stays this year should guarantee my continued participation thru the end of 2020 with the same status, but no longer.

I also feel like I'm competing among too many people now for upgrades. I'm a rare beast with like more than 200 nights on property this year, and well more than 100 last year. I just wish I felt more appreciated by the company.

On glibc-based Linux you generally need to compile on a system running the oldest (or close to) version of glibc you want to support. I suspect this was the singlehanded reason for Go being built that way.

That said, on macOS it makes a lot less sense because libSystem's compatibility guarantees work a lot like those of Win32, where you can safely compile on newer versions of the OS as long as you don't actually use features that are newer than your deployment target.

Spawl is cheaper to build new. However, sprawl is more expensive to maintain.

Suburbs run into this problem quite dramatically when they start contracting and suddenly their infrastructure costs start soaring relative to their budgets.

I think any product can become valuable depending on how you market it to your targeted users. FB is said to be somewhere you can go to be with friends and family; share memories, no matter where you are. If we’re going to ignore all of the ads and data mining going on behind the scenes, it’s easy to say that FB is doing a good for society. But it has its flaws.

Just earlier on HN there was a link about FB possibly selling user data. We have the Cambridge Analytica mess from the election.

Zuckerburg is smart when it comes to programming and tech, but running a company ethically is a different ballgame and that is the problem a lot of people have with his company. Nobody is saying he’s doing a bad job at building the product. He’s doing a bad job of managing the trust his users put into him when they use his service every single day.

I think that Ian Banks' "Culture" series is pretty utopian. The AI Minds are clearly in charge, but they generally treat their human pets well, and with respect. There are effectively no limitations on what people can be, do or have. Except perhaps meaning, and that's a major theme.

But there is a novella, State of the Art, which features contact between the Culture and 1980s Earth. And that is very dystopian. As are his treatments of various other civilizations that the Culture manipulates.

Edit: grammar

Also, many of those novels feature messaging threads among ship Minds. And some of them are mind-boggling.

This comment breaks the site guideline against insinuating astroturfing and bad faith, and it adds to nationalistic flamewar. Please don't post like this again.

It's also worth considering that none of the major systems are actually POSIX-compliant today. You're always going to need to make specific allowances if your standard library supports anything beyond the absolutely trivial even if you ignore Windows.

She did previously deny knowing about the PR company doing the oppo research on Soros... generally when there's a denial at a high level and then contradictory evidence comes out, it's newsworthy.

It looks more like Go code than a bash script - the tradeoff we settled on is that pretty much as soon as you need to add any sort of logic it's no longer really a simple "script" and you _know_ it's just going to grow into a monstrosity. Better to use a language with real functions, real error handling, that you can actually unit test, etc. In that sense, I guess you could say we write lots of little tools moreso than we write scripts.

For something of this form, if the standard library has the functionality, we us it - os.Mkdir() instead of `mkdir` and so on. But to simplify shelling out, we have a little library that includes the interface

type Runner interface {
Execute(dir, name string, args ...string) (*CmdOutput, error)
}

so it's easy enough to call miscellaneous programs and get the exit code / stdout / stderr. It also supports printing and executing a command, etc.

Iteratively executing a program of this form looks like `go run whatever --flag=value`, though your shebang hack looks like it'd also do nicely.
Unfortunately, that would be biting the hand that feeds.

One of the major arguments of postmodernism is that the "shared model" of modernist progress -- universal "progress" had some bad side effects. Destroying cultures and languages in the name of progress doesn't really empower people. And modernity brought other new large problems, from global warming to weak communities to mass propaganda. There were so many excesses that we had to put on the brakes.

That said, postmodernism does support a "whatever works" approach, and we desperately need some sort of positive futurism, lest we end up implementing the coal-powered AI hellscape by default.
