>All they had to do was provide proof that McDonalds sells Big Macs. Their evidence was signed affidavits by high ranking board members, advertisements, a Wikipedia entry and a few others of a similar vein.

>Problem was they failed to provide any evidence that McDonalds actually sells Big Macs, just that Big Macs exist and judges really don’t like “everybody knows” being treated as evidence.

Illinois’ debt problem is far beyond fixing by raising taxes. They promised billions on corrupt pension schemes that literally could not have been payed for except by passing the bucket down the line to the next ngenwration of workers. The dilemma is that you can’t get out of it except by filing bankruptcy, which aside from the question of whether it is even possible, would completely destroy an otherwise healthy state and local economy.

People should go to jail for those agreements.
I'm developing something on Electron, but casting occasional glances at Qt wondering if it'd be better.

It's hard to beat the edit-test-debug cycle of Electron, where I can tweak a line of code, hit Cmd-R, and see the results in less than a second.
We had one guy who completely flubbed the his whiteboard question, something like "sort a deck of cards"; his routine totally didn't do what we asked. I gently asked something like, "umm, is that going to solve the problem?" He said, "Oh I'm a total fucking idiot", laughed, and fixed it. Great hire.

BTW I've been using whiteboard interviews for years. I know a lot of people hate them but if you don't use trick questions, let the candidate use whatever language they like, and treat them more as a collaborative effort you can get a good feel for a candidate (i.e. see through nervousness) and give them a chance to see if we are a-holes or not. Think of the whiteboard more like scratch paper. If somebody gets wrapped around the axle on some part you can gently guide them out of the problem and then usually they can find their balance.

The urban landscape is changing from auto-centric to human-centric (pedestrian areas, bike-lanes, light-rail). Jan Gehl and Janette Sadik-Khan are two prominent examples, but there are many others.
None of those "tricking other people" problems you mention have anything to do with UBI, per se. They are all about human nature, both the trickers and the tricked. That is not going to change just because of UBI being enacted / implemented. The potential solutions lie deeper down the stack (of turtles).

Credit repair
Greeting my name is Alexander, Few weeks back I was trying to find someone who could get my credit fixed I had a 480 credit score medical Bills, a couple small credit cards, Collections, liens etc. I was digging online seeking ideas and information to sort my credit mess when I came across various articles speaking about Ghost Virus mostly on Trulia and Quora. I quickly contacted Ghost on he’s mail address (GHOSTVIRUS7890@GMAIL.COM) he gave me he’s phone number +1 205 418 0498 to text him for further elaboration about the process. We had a chat where I explained my worries of getting a good credit he explained the process and everything he would do to get my credit fixed and the cost. The offer was good so we moved on with the project. I provided the necessary info he asked for to get the project done just within 7 days my credit was fixed. I am really thankful to God for making this work out. You can contact him and get your credit fixed today.

I'd say I'm surprised that some people are attacking your license, which overall forces providers to increase user freedom, but I remember the 90s and 00s when the GPL/AGPL was being attacked as a non-free (as in freedom) license - "How can it respect freedom when it FORCES me to release my source code?"

The same people today go on about how great the CC licenses are when they have the NC-SA, which I've been using for my artistic projects since it came out.

Do you have a Stallman like wall of text about defending users freedoms? Because there are enough people who would read it and understand what you're doing once they get past the FUD of "It's proprietary!!!".

Although I've never used Lambda Layers. Do you think a similar approach is something that could be implemented?

Maybe even just something for compiled languages like Go, Crystal, etc that will just run the binary?
I used to think so as well. I was always of the mindset that I had to feel somewhat full to "relax" me so I can go to sleep. I could never seem to fall asleep while hungry.

But, I found out, it's actually just a mindset thing. Once I realized that, I found that I could go to bed hungry and still get a great nights sleep. I know it sounds incorrect but sometimes attitude and mindset really can influence outcomes.

One major difference between Oumuamua and Ultima Thule, is that Ultima Thule is very accurately following a known gravitational trajectory. Oumuamua is not, and that factors greatly into the astronomer's point of view.

I was applying to a developer position and the recruiter sent me a url to a web application for online tests, this was very long time ago when they weren't so popular, and this was the first time I was sent one.

The mail with the link arrived while I was at work. They told me that it is time-limited so I wanted to wait until I got home to be be free of distractions, but I was getting curious.

I though I can log in with another email and take a look at what kind of questions would I get, so being still in the office I logged in using a very old email address I had: 'crazybastard@hotmail.com'. I went through the questions without thinking too much, and finished very quickly.

10 minutes after that I got a call from the recruiter:

- Hey, have you finished the test?

- (What a pain! I though.) No, I'm waiting until I get home after work to do it.

- OK! (hang up)

5 minutes after he called me again:

- Are you lying to me?

- Why would I do that?

- The client told me that some guy called 'crazy bastard' has finished it already, but it wasn't you. Did you give the test to someone else to solve it for you?

- Actually I tested the website, logging in with a different email just to get familiar with it, but I expected to do 'the right one' later when I get home.

- That was a single use link, you only had one chance to do the test!

- Ups! I didn't know that.

- Now the client believes that you were trying to cheat. Sorry I think you fucked up!

- Why would I give it to someone else to do it on my behalf but pretending to be someone called 'crazy bastard' instead of myself? That is the opposite of cheating. Please tell them that I'm sorry for the confusion, tell them the story and that my intention was to prepare as best as I could for the task. Pleeeeease!

- I'll see what I can do...

Later in the day he called me again to tell me that the client though the story was to stupid to consider it cheating, and since I got 90% of the questions correct in half of the time, they wanted to proceed to the next interview round.
Price lists for the 115 biggest US hospitals now online
jeffasinger explained this point better than me, but one thing to point out is that I'm not arguing for unit tests to the exclusion of feature tests.

Rather, I'm arguing against feature tests to the exclusion of unit tests. Both are required in a decently tested systems.

Feature tests provide the assurance that the application works as expected and prevent broken changes going to production, as you've pointed out.

However, they're not a practical replacement for the instant feedback that unit tests provide. Our feature tests currently take 1.5->2.5 hours to run depending on CI system load.

That's... not great. On a given workday I get to try 3-4 builds? I don't know about how others work, but personally I like to get some feedback every like 10-25 lines of code. Unit tests provide that. They take 2 minutes to run. If I had to wait 1.5 hours every 25 lines of code, I would sure be much less productive.

Lets say I somehow convinced management to pay for 20x as many compute resources for CI so that I could get those results in 5-10 minutes rather than 1.5->2.5 hours. And 5-10 is the best case, as that's pretty close to the overhead for our CI system to just clone the code and get the secrets to deploy to a test environment and actually deploy to said test environment.

That's still my flow broken every time I need a test run, because I'm not going to sit and stare at build for 10 minutes, I'm going to answer that email from my product manager or review a team member's PR. If that build comes back with a failure, then I'm context switching back to actually fix it.

The point is that this is a funnel. The unit tests are for instant feedback and to catch obvious mistakes, like "Hey, that value might not be defined, you still need to calculate value B, hope you didn't remove/break the fallback calculation". This ensures that less mistakes incur the full 2.5 hour penalty of a CI build that ultimately fails a test. The feature tests are there for safety. The unit tests are there for productivity. The feature tests are "Does this feature work so we can deploy it". In theory you have at most 1-2 runs of these per feature as unit tests _should_ catch issues before they get there. They're simply too expensive in terms of time to be your first layer of defense, rather they're your final layer.
This feels so generic. I get the problem they're referencing with too many colors and not working in all contexts. But the human mind being what it is, I never had a problem connecting "rainbow-colored #" with "Slack". This...this is just some kind of blob. I couldn't tell this apart from a big pharma company, or some kind of conglomerate that makes everything from toasters to jet planes. I'm reminded of the Philip Morris rebrand to Altria, even as far as a generic colorful squarish logo. It's gone from "# means Slack" to "I guess that's Slack...?"
Yes you can. By studying and learning about something which no one else has done before. I remember a professor of zoology, who was expert on catching lemmings by jumping head first from some 5 meters away. They were truly amazing jumps. This technique allowed studying various rats without harming them. Especially in winter. He had very little formal education.
My favorite speculation is that Oumuamua is a spent deceleration stage for a larger inbound multi-stage interstellar rocket. It would probably be a nuclear fusion rocket or similar. Previous stages flew past us and we didn't notice. The next stages(s) and/or the payload should arrive shortly. Since it's decelerating the next stage will be traveling slower.
> What you don't get is any hybrid vigor in the F2 generation, only the F1. There's nothing about the IP or companies that make this the case, it's fucking biology.

While that's true, it also happens to be economically convenient for the companies producing hybrid seeds, because they get recurring sales. So there's a lot of incentive to focus on finding new combinations to hybridize, while neglecting research on other options. After all, there's no guarantee that "hybrid vigor" actually improves the metrics humans care about (such as yield), rather than causing some other traits (such as leaf size) to be expressed stronger. So hybridization is just a different way to generate variants for selective breeding and a lot of its popularity is just due to the built-in DRM.

“...at least a quarter of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy have a planet like Earth, with surface conditions that are very similar to Earth, and the chemistry of life as we know it could develop.”

Once could argue that this sort of thing happens because people are very quick to try and turn any value-making proposition into a money-making proposition, as though the relationship between the two were simple and obvious, or often, equivalent.

Some things are no longer valuable when you intend to extract that value as money. That's why the poor king doesn't hire cheap mercenaries to protect his kingdom. Sentiment has nontransferable value.

How to Build a Hacker News Clone with React and Next.js
I was just running into this dichotomy this morning. To test my app Autumn on High Sierra, I had to install it in a VM, so I tried VirtualBox (open source) and Parallels Desktop Lite (in-app purchases). Not only did Parallels have a smoother, cleaner, more modern and easier GUI, VirtualBox just out-right doesn't work when trying to install High Sierra, and I had to find third-party instructions online just to bypass this bug. Plus it likes to crash right after shutting down the VM. I'm not really sure if there's some deeper philosophical reason behind this dichotomy, but I've seen it hold true for a lot of apps and their open source alternatives, and many people have said the same thing holds true about my app Autumn and open source alternatives like Hammerspoon and Mjolnir. As a rule, we really do seem to get what we pay for.
I strongly second this. Most people tend to be pretty used up after a day at work, and after commute, errands and household chores, TV is pretty much all they have energy for.

Personally, I hang out with regular "normies" as much, if not more, as with technical people, and all the boring TV-watching "normies" I know do have dreams and hobbies, but it takes getting to know them better to discover that. And those dreams and hobbies are generally blocked by dayjobs and errands.

If this work the work of an alien intelligence it seems unlikely that it wouldn't have been targeted at our solar system. Space is so vast that accidentally running into a solar system other than then one you intended is stupefyingly unlikely, especially at the speeds this object was traveling.

Another interesting point is that if it is an alien probe it would have had to been sent long before human civilization began unless the aliens are parked practically on our doorstop.
> The problem with this approach is that it takes years to understand adtech. Reporters try to understand it but simply cannot. It would be a like a normal reporter trying to find the root cause of a financial crisis.

So you're saying we should just take whatever Wall Street says as the truth, since only insiders can really understand?

I think sometimes insiders confuse "not taking an insider perspective" with being wrong or being unable to understand.

If you think they're missing something, find an good reporter (who can understand you, find alternative viewpoints and call you on any BS), then volunteer your testimony and experience to them.

Uncertain - I'm not exactly the decision-maker. But I can think of two reasons:

1) They say that earnings will come out at a certain time, so they better be out at that time or else the SEC comes after them. If they just posted earnings as coming out at say 12:00:30 instead of 12:00:00, that just shifts the problem 30 seconds later.

2) The bots will just run for an extra 30 seconds, and will still have the advantage over ordinary people.

(Something I'm not clear on: regular Google - and Hacker News, for that matter - will sometimes just make a user's connection slower if they repeatedly hit it with traffic. Why not use that on bots that hammer the investor relations site? It completely disincentivizes these bots if the 100 requests you made at 11:58:30 mean that you get stuck with a 5 minute delay and don't get the information until 12:03:30. Or maybe they do use this approach and the SRE in question just didn't bother to tell me.)
