Trump's whole appeal is that he's an antiestablishment figure who says things nobody else is willing to say, that there is a shadowy establishment conspiracy to tear him down, and that it's also amusing when he "triggers the libs". When the media alternates between behaving like a shadowy establishment conspiracy to tear him down and behaving like "triggered libs", it helps him. The media might not realize this, but that's because this is one of the ways in which Trump has outsmarted the media and political establishment.

From what I've heard around here schools have increasingly less ability to enforce anything especially if it's disciplinary in action. Having not been in school beyond a college-level course in years I can only imagine the effect this is having on classroom learning and participation. Teachers are losing more and more control of their classrooms for frivolous reasons.

I too think it's a no-brainer to enforce a no phone in the classroom situation.

> Most home assistants have extremely limited language support, which is fine for younger people in bigger cities that speak english, but that's about it.

And that's if you can make them actually use English. I'm baffled by the amount of technology that needs forceful and sometimes sophisticated (e.g. Google Search) reminders that just because I'm a Pole from Poland, doesn't mean I want to talk to technology in Polish.

> Plus home assistants in America can order things for you, get your local movie times, and have a host of other features mostly only available in the US and certain locations.

That would be a big factor IMO, if not the factor. Hype waves around smart assistants happen everywhere simultaneously, but most features are initially implemented only for the US (hell, I don't think any voice assistant available in Europe actually has feature parity with what you get when using it in the US). By the time those assistants become available and somewhat usable outside the States, nobody cares anymore.
Relations with Google are definitely starting to sour, here are a few recent examples:

- IE switches to Chromium engine, Chrome has full clearance to dominate the web.

- Questionable actions toward ad-blocking (seen only just yesterday).

- Colluding with China to create a blatantly dishonest search engine.

- Questionable products (Google Fi, Pixel phone, Google Home, etc, are share their own controversies)

- Search results quality is decreasing (which is just my personal speculation, DDG is usually retrieves less polluted results).

Let me know if I missed anything.
Please keep talking about issues like this. There’s too many preaching a cure from an armchair and not enough recounting actual experience.
>I respect Jamie for the things done and built, but his views tend to be a bit extreme.

They might be in general, but these sound like some easily objectively checkable claims:

"If you want visible proof of this [Flow not caring for the community], just look through the repo. PRs are never merged. Issues are never addressed. Pretty much all of the activity there is done by a couple people in the community. Critical issues stay open for years. They do all of their development internally"
Indeed. People have come to treat the news not as a dull obligation to be informed about the world so that they can make boring but important decisions, but as a form of entertainment. It's more akin to watching sports on TV, except that we actually have skin in the game and some affect on its outcome.

You don't really need this news on a daily basis. News that actually affects you is rare; news that you can apply is rarer. You do get to make a decision every couple of years, and you do have some ability to affect things even between elections, but the vast majority of daily news consumption is more about getting to shout at the players on the TV rather than actually achieving anything.

So I applaud your decision to opt out of it. You can get everything you need to know about the next election in a few hours, two Novembers from now. Unfortunately, in the meantime, a lot of people will be using the shouting-at-the-TV to reaffirm their preconceptions of their own righteousness and the villainy of their opponents, and their decisions will be based largely on exacerbating that.

Nah, my day job is writing C++ and most of my side projects are C. I have nothing against compiled languages, and if the compiler is fast enough, just having `make && ./whatever` in my shell history is almost indistinguishable from `node index.js`. It's just that it takes _over a second_ for tsc to compile hello world, and all javascript tooling feels similarly sluggish to me. I have similar issues with java; make starts compiling stuff in microseconds, while grade doesn't spawn a javac process in what feels like forever.

I probably shouldn't have lead with the "not only is it an extra step" thing.

Not to sound like an Apple fanboy/shill, but this is one of the reasons I am still willing to throw money at Apple.

As hostile as they are to software freedom in general, they know that personal data privacy is part of the value proposition for the Apple ecosystem. The Siri and Apple Maps privacy policies explicitly state that data will only be used to improve Siri and Maps, respectively.

The LSAT is an interesting test. One big section is "analytical reasoning", which has you solving logic games. These are actually kind of fun.

After I took the LSAT, and scored pretty well (99.6 percentile), including a perfect score on analytical reasoning, I was in the supermarket and saw at the magazine rack, down in the section with the crossword puzzle magazines, a magazine of logic puzzles just like those from the LSAT. Based on the ads in it, the main audience for this was old ladies.

I bought it, and decided to start with a puzzle marked as hard, figuring it would be easy for me--I had just aced these things on the LSAT, after all, a test designed to make distinctions among the brightest students in the country. Obviously, anything old ladies could handle I could handle almost in my sleep.

It completely kicked my ass. So did all the medium puzzles. I think I was able to do a couple easy ones, with a lot of effort.

Lesson: don't underestimate old ladies!

View 1 comes from us (see my reply to your comment below). As for your 2nd question - that is the crux of the problem we had.
You’re forgetting something. This isn’t my argument. This is what GDPR states. Unauthorised access to personal data constitutes a data breach. Does someone accessing your personal data who is not you using a stolen password count as unauthorised? Yes.

Interesting definition of "class" in the article. It tries to contrast the knowledge-based "creative class" with the "working class" when it reality both are primarily earning wages and salaries rather than dividends and capital gains.

I can think of a mountain of things that programmers could collectively bargain for that would benefit everyone.

Sample size of only 1 here, but the effect of a 2nd word added to increase legitimacy seems to have a negligible effect on the preceding word. If anything, the compound name seems to have less legitimacy. (This is probably a data outlier.)

So now we make PB29 (ultramarine) synthetically, and you can get tubes of ultramarine paint for around $5 for 250 ml of the stuff! This is purer than any artist could have gotten back then!

We also manufacturer other synthetic pigments such as PB15:3 (Phthalo Blue), and PR122 (Quinacridone Magenta) which are far superior than anything historically. Phthalo blue in particular is one of the strongest tinting colors in an artists pallet and is so cheap to manufacture.

Occasionally colors get discontinued, as was the case with Quin Gold (PO49). This is as artists are a secondary market, and when an industry stops needing a pigment, the few artists that use it have no influence. Watercolors for instance come in tiny 5ml tubes!

There is also some confusion about pigments created by the art supply companies. Classical colors such as 'yellow ochre' and 'burnt sienna' get replaced with modern pigments such as PR101.

Golden is very good at labeling paints. Winsor and Newton and Royal Talens... not so much!

I get that Washington bottle buyer hasn't paid a deposit.
But if Oregon bottle buyer has paid a deposit for a bottle, but chooses not to recycle it, there is a deposit that has been paid, but not claimed.
What is the problem with the Washington bottle buyer returning their bottle in return for the deposit back?
A bottle is returned, which is surely the aim of the deposit. The return rate is below 100% so there aren't unfunded deposits.

I'm not saying having lots of technology in your house is a bad thing by any means, but in my mind at least what I kind of considered as the "baseline" for most people would be smartphone and some sort of personal computer (laptop or desktop). It's just interesting to hear someone say that they think phone+laptop+tablet+nest isn't that much technology, we've gone so quickly from these items being uncommon to people thinking they aren't a big deal. Sure you could say the same thing about lightbulbs and indoor plumbing but I wasn't around for that transition.
He owns a Mercedes so he probably loves driving. Maybe if he wasn't delivering for UberEats he'd be out joyriding in his new Mercedes without a destination. In doing UberEats he's got a destination and he'll decrease his expenses by like $5/hour and take another car off the road. I know a guy who spends like half his free time driving around in a $70,000 pickup truck because he enjoys it, doesn't have a destination, just goes for a drive for fun.

This is why you should avoid waiving your right to a speedy trial when you have a public defender.

While in THEORY it should give them more time to prepare, more than likely you'll get 20~30 minutes of prep time either way on the day of your trial but spend longer in jail just waiting.

If you have a private defender, it might make a lot of sense to waive, since they can use that additional time to assemble enough evidence for either court or a better deal.

But in modern US "justice" even if you're innocent expect to take a plea. That's just how it works now.
I'm sure that's how it comes across to a far-left isolationist, just like the popular news media probably comes across as "insidiously advocating for greater globalization and surrendering American sovereignty" to a John Bircher, but that's probably because the commentators who say these things are extremists, not because the vaguely-centrist media has an appreciable agenda.

Interesting observation. I was under the impression that getting hired into research groups at a FAANG was a different process than getting hired as a SWE, and that you could bypass some of the whiteboard "find all sub matrices with matching determinants in an NxM matrix of arbitrary size" style questions.

Those jobs, the SWE jobs, there's really no degree that will allow you to skip that gauntlet. But I think there might be a different hiring process for PhDs or faculty leaving academia to work in research labs.

I don't really know, though, just something I heard/read somewhere.

In the latest world of Postgres:

- we now have closed source Amazon Aurora infrastructure that boasts performance gains that might never see it back upstream (who knows if it's just hardware or software or what behind the scenes here)

- we now have Amazon DocumentDB that is a closed source MongoDB-like scripting interface with Postgres under the hood

- lastly, with this news, looks like Microsoft is now doubling down on the same strategy to build out infrastructure and _possibly_ closed source "forked" wins on top of the beautiful open source world that is Postgres

Please, please, please let's be sure to upstream! I love the cloud but when I go to "snapshot" and "restore" my PG DB I want a little transparency how y'all are doing this. Same with DocumentDB; I'd love an article of how they are using JSONB indices at this supposed scale! Not trying to throw shade; just raising my eyebrows a little.
If you want to understand how anti-black bias affects even wealthy African Americans, you have to use methods like this. The GP was saying, basically "if the Obama's succeeded, it doesn't matter that their competitors were cheating." You can be disadvantaged and still be successful.

Why would it be useful to compare the most famous and rich African Americans against "a random white person?" Is that the way we prove that African Americans are not disadvantaged, by comparing an anomaly from one group to the average of another? We are comparing comparably wealthy people in order to eliminate other forms of difference so we can see just the effects of ethnicity...

It's still a testament to human flexibility that human went from small bands of anarchistically organized gatherer-hunters only actively cooperating with each other to larger agricultural groups cooperating within a hierarchical framework.

Comments about "the process" are generally unwelcome. It's not uncommon for posts saying "this is how you should post" get down-voted. Direct appeals to up/down-vote a post are against site policy.

Same as you - macOS. I regularly have ~250-300 tabs open on my MBP (though I admit, I cheat via using The Great Suspender), the only time it hogs CPU is when some nasty advertising on sueddeutsche.de or Facebook decide they need to warm my lap.

In addition, I vastly prefer Chrome's devtools. Nothing comes close, and I believe this is a huge part of why developers are so Chrome-loyal.
Yes, of course, this has long been a widely held assumption. That's why we call it the "manifold hypothesis."

As far as I know, no one has been able to show -- with mathematical rigor -- that this is why deep learning works so well on so many challenging perceptual ("cognitive") tasks.

That seems significant to me.
Someone paid those 10 cents, though... And then didn't return the bottle.

> And due to the high demand of our skills, we're able to effectively negotiate salaries and comp in a way that at least lets us think we're doing better than average (see: salary transparency, or lack thereof).

So even with a history of Silicon Valley playing tricks to suppress what developers get paid[1], the typical HN reader is humdrum about salary because it's "better than average?" I have a hard time believing that.

> Plus, we're not a group generally known to like more layers of bureaucracy.

I get that.

But doesn't this seem weird:

1. Devs apparently don't care for the bureaucracy of the taxi medallion service. So two companies build a nationwide service that does an end run around it.

2. Devs apparently don't care for the lack of salary transparency. So they create a cryptographic system that... oh wait, nope, there's no app for that.

?

Because all these ideas (regulation, minimum wage, laborisation, etc) protect existing workers and harms lower skilled or newcomers, foreigners, minorities, etc.

I don't understand your point at all. Unions explicitly fight to support all of these people. The standard argument against unions (esp. in the tech sector) is that they harm high-skilled overperforming workers by capping the maximum benefits they can receive.
My point is that firing them should be illegal because you can't actually know the purpose they intend it for. You also aren't supposed to fire women for trying to get pregnant. You certainly shouldn't fire them for using unreliable birth control. Nothing is infallible, except outright removing her reproductive organs. Even if they are using the rhythm method, you don't actually know that they aren't using it in conjunction with some other form of protection. It's not uncommon to use two less reliable methods together to bolster the efficacy.
Surely they are associating this with either an email address or a device fingerprint, both of which would be considered personally identifying by HIPAA.
