I think the reality is that the change will negatively impact you, and smart engineers without advanced degrees. That really stinks. The change doesn’t benefit everyone, but benefits foreign workers with advanced degrees looking to work (and hopefully immigrate) in the US, companies and local workers, because wages should increase at least a minor amount. But this means non-advanced degree workers lose out.
Statistics might be seen as the process of rooting out errors and falsehoods. To come into contact with them is the goal (to eliminate them). :)
IIRC employers avoid this liability by executing the fraud themselves. There's no e-verify violation because they use legitimate SSNs from a living person, fraudulently. The workers aren't the problem, the employers are.

Legislators and govt executives look the other way in order to preserve competitive agriculture.
Yes, but it's not encrypted.

Furthermore the article begins with the premise of using text-only data transfer protocols such as MIME, then goes on to talk about base64-encoding then gzipping data. If he were to continue talking about text-only data transfer, then he should've talked about gzipping, then base64-encoding the data or if he were talking about reducing the size of the data he should've been talking about gzipping instead of base64-encoding the data. Instead he seems to be talking about something which isn't compatible with MIME. So the article doesn't really seem to have a clear direction. If the point was to cut down on a single round-trip to the server then congratulations -- you've increased your page size by 2.5% and added the overhead of compression to the request -- a much higher toll than the cost of a 2nd request for non-trivial assets of the sort gzip would be effective for since it has its own overhead requirements.
The company I worked for last year was about 1/4 older gentlemen in engineering roles. I'm disappointed that other companies are not as keen to hire them, but they had so freaking much experience and it was a pleasure to work with them
Have a mechanical latches on reverse cowls that will be operated separately of the code that deploys reverse. Landing without reverse is better than falling like a brick.
I think the reason is shallow thinkpieces like this :)
I might have misunderstood your previous comment. You were saying that for this specific incident with Apple they wouldn't need to do binary patching, right?
Well, we don't know what the content would be like with a modern "fun/weird" internet, but the content we have right now is mostly shit, so...
They should assign limits based on salary, lets say 150% of industry standard, not education level. There is no measure of skill less meaningful than a degree.
I suppose the real clue as to the sprites is that when two objects overlap and one moves away, it briefly leaves a black spot on the other object.
I can only hope for a decentralized alternative using the Lightning Network instead of this model where everybody has to sign up for Quid.
This isn't sufficient, as it highlights the sub-domain, which is the main trick scammers are using. For exmaple:

This will make getting work visas even harder for folks with only U.S. undergrad degrees. Expect growth in 4+1 and 3+1 integrated Masters programs to compensate. Prioritizing people with U.S. degrees is a pretty reasonable move. And given the existing structure, prioritizing U.S. Masters degrees is also reasonable. But a B.S. in CS is qualitatively equivalent to an M.S. The lack of nuance is not surprising but still unfortunate.
Tautological.
You can make and receive calls, you can use the browser and web apps to do everything you need to do online.

So it's not correct to say "you can't use an iPhone without an Apple ID" in any sense. People should be SPECIFIC.

I will posit that killing a 9-year old or a 29-year old is actually worse than killing a 99-year old, all else being equal.

(I would hold this view even if I were the 99-year old.)
I've heard people saying that they hate it, that they don't mind, or that the find it somewhat interesting. Never heard anyone say that love it. Can you give more details?
What if they know?

This Google app, unlike Facebook's, do not decrypt traffic.

Now tell me who don't know what they consent to.
They have, but I don’t think they can resist trying to sex it up. Part of the charm of the old machines is their simplicity.
It would have been a positive change if they did not have the restriction that the Masters must be from a US university. What's wrong with non-US universities? I don't see why degree even matters. Like someone suggested in a previous similar thread, just sorting by pay and giving higher wages more priority (perhaps with some sort of normalization to compensate for cost of living and the field of work) is much better.
This counterargument fits into Paul Graham's hierarchy of debate at level DH4: http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html

> Counterargument is contradiction plus reasoning and/or evidence. When aimed squarely at the original argument, it can be convincing. But unfortunately it's common for counterarguments to be aimed at something slightly different. More often than not, two people arguing passionately about something are actually arguing about two different things. Sometimes they even agree with one another, but are so caught up in their squabble they don't realize it.

Whereas you are arguing about what is politically correct, I argued that the "politically correct" usage of they/them has a problem. I actually agree that they/them is politically-correct, and think we should change that.

So your argument does not, in fact, disagree with mine.
Goodhart's Law [1] applies to this situation. I expect master's degrees to become more common and less rigorous.

The whole qualification and lottery immigration system is, at best, economically inefficient. Instead of bothering with salary bands and education requirements, the government should auction off work visas, thereby ensuring that slots go to their most economically productive use. A cap-and-trade system lets the market find its own level.

Thank you for putting these numbers out. Also, kind of reminds me of Facebook revenue growth
Each of these subreddits has more than 800K subscribers -- it's possible, but highly unlikely you'll see something truly strange from there.

A good place to start is a smaller subreddit. Here, I'll link two of my favorites just for the hell of it:

Side note: I think the article meant weird as in "obscure".

Personally, I'd describe weird internet content as something you wouldn't show to your friends (except if you're close, of course.)
Speaking un-ethically, the person in the car likely has fewer rights due to agreeing to some or another Term of Service, whereas the people on the street likely have not agreed to such. It may be better to kill the person in the car.
Some restauranteurs and other cash businesses try and pull fast ones on the IRS. So the IRS conducts audits and has agents case suspect establishments. No reason DHS/ICE, whatever cannot do the same and jail fraudsters. If they, the Feds, can jail Martha Stewart on unrelated technicalities, they can jail these fraudsters. Start at the top, target big ones and work your way down to the small ones (they'll get the news and come correct).
More precisely. For two systems offering the same functionality, the one that does so using less software should be preferred, because software of any nontrivial complexity is irreducibly buggy.
DDG gets simple things right, but for more complex queries I still have to fallback to google sadly
In reality, it appears that there is a media scapegoating crisis, not an actual crisis, at or with Facebook: https://jakeseliger.com/2018/11/14/is-there-an-actual-facebo...
"Prioritizing people with U.S. degrees is a pretty reasonable move. And given the existing structure, prioritizing U.S. Masters degrees is also reasonable." - Why do you think so?
I thought this was going to a be a collection of statistics people really did wrong.
For something situated on a Great Lake, the question is whether it has sufficient wastewater treatment, pumping the water in and out isn't a big deal, it's how dirty it is when you pump it back into the lake that matters.
You're entirely correct that most people just aren't all that fun or weird.
Over the last 20 years the internet has become an increasingly commercial and democratised place. In the earlier years the level of technical aptitude necessary to be a content producer online would have filtered out the contributions of all but the more tech-savvy amongst us, who I'd wager tend to be among the more 'fun or weird' people out there.
For commercial reasons alone, it's advantageous to all parties involved from those on the infrastructure side, all the way to media companies and manufacturers of consumer goods to make the internet a more accessible place. This has contributed to the internet becoming ever more homogenised, commercial and bland to match the taste of the vast consumer public. 2019 internet is built for the same status quo that the television stations and tabloids of old were made for.
Also refer to the 'Eternal September' phenomena on Usenet, that's pretty much what's happened here at a large scale.
Nice.

Thanks for sharing the information and for your Project "BadgerHold".
yes, but 'inside the company' and 'testing' are vague. On one hand u have Larry Page testing the latest version of Gmail app - clearly eithin bounds - but what if its a contractor using an app filled with analytics that won't be released to the public, then what if its a focus group with 5 people, then what if its a large study like this, etc.
Wait, what?

The raging measles epidemic in my state came, in large part, from granola munching upper west side moms. (The balance came from the ultra-orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn.)

They have absolutely nothing in common except their rabid disavowal of modern medical science when it interferes with their pre-existing prejudices.
Typically I think this is the right answer, but what is the appropriate way to turn things romantic?
You keep insulting people without argument. (And Cosma Shalizi is anything but a shallow thinker, as even a cursory perusal of his online notebooks should make evident.)
You can't get citizenship by giving birth in the US. And asylum is a special case, it's not really a normal immigration route.
I think things really changed about 2007 or so when AJAX and mobile really took off, and the web went from being document centric to being more of an application platform. That raised the barrier to entry because things did legitimately get better, but you needed specialist knowledge to do anything respectable.

I don’t think specialised markdown languages really changes anything though.
>If an application is handling SIGHUP then it presumably intends to continue running.

That's not correct, for stuff running in the user's scope more often than not a SIGHUP handler is just to gracefully exit the application. I.E. close any open files, finish any writes in process, etc.

But also, you don't know what the SIGHUP handler does to begin with. That's the crux of the problem. Outside of the process the SIGHUP handler is just a black box.

>If it used systemd-run instead, it could still get into a bad state at any point thereafter and you have the same problem.

No, if it was started with systemd-run there's no SIGHUP sent to it in the first place. Reaping applications that won't close in the user scope isn't about preventing them from breaking in the first place, it's just sweeping up the broken pieces so that it doesn't break the next user scope because it's still holding some exclusive lock on something.

It's like putting the user session into its own container. It doesn't fix anything, it just keeps the breakage contained to the user's scope so that when you log out, it really does shut down that "container".
Then you cannot do

diff a.htm b.htm

Send the output to /tmp or some directory mounted as tmpfs.

My working directory is always mounted tmpfs. This is how I keep things fast and clean.

You are assuming that Tesla and future competition can operate their own dealerships more efficiently.

They don't get their physical presence for free, and the cost is baked in to the sales price just the same way.

Maybe Tesla can pull that off but there's no reason to expect other EV manufacturers will until they hit massive scale.
I wonder how much of that has to do with how much FB knows about you and your interests, and your friends and their interests? With YouTube, I honestly don't get any sense that it uses what Google surely knows of me via Search and GMail, e.g. anything related to Chicago, or germane to my political inclinations or personality. Instead, it seems wholly based on my viewing history. Which has some benefits, of course (I get what I click on), except when it makes inferences on outlier activity. e.g. if I click-through to a flat earth conspiracy video for a few curious laughs, it naively thinks I must have an appetite for more.
That is good. For books, I like Kyle Simpson's You Don't Know JS series.

The decryption doesn’t have to happen in real-time since it’s just analytics. Dumping all traffic off to google doubles bandwidth but could be done in a way to minimize slowdown for users.

I agree that it’s a security breach, but it happens all the time. Look at enterprise products like ForcePoint [0] that will do deep inspection on https sessions because they have custom CA installed on enterprise clients. Many companies do this.

Because it’s their router hardware it would be possible to present anyone extracting the intermediate mitm carts and keys. The data are likely sensitive, but that’s what They have already.

Tools like ForcePoint don’t put a “real” CA cert on the device. They typically create a new CA per device, install that into the downstream client CA trusted roots and then generate mitm certs signing with this new cert.

And time and time again it's been shown that outsourcing doesn't really work that well. If it was just about the money, they wouldn't bother sponsoring H1Bs at all. They would just outsource from the start, and why wouldn't they? Unless the skills aren't there to lead a team from abroad with an 8hr time zone difference.
The thread is specifically about copyright information.

I am not sure why you made a comment about completely unrelated information that has nothing to do with the fundamental question regarding copyrighted information.

The term "information wants to be free", obviously is about the commericalization of information. It has nothing to do with privacy.
For all software that does something useful, there exist scenarios that are not tested.
Bennu Shape Model 3D Files
Not only has the author collected a great library of classic mod files to play back, they compiled a fantastic starter library of mod samples for composing new work. These have such a delightfully retro sound to them, I'd love to use them in other software as well, such as the sampler in my primary DAW – anyone know how to extract a WAV file from these vintage Amiga DMS archives?
The Log
Interesting thoughts, thanks for sharing
But the point of this was market research. I highly doubt anybody gives a shit, even the uptight brigade here on hackernews, about whether company X knows I'm using company Y's app. It's not like FB wants to read your private texts. They want to know what apps you're using and how you spend your time so they can make their own products better.
Phillip K. Dick also had some bad drug trips and they led to a very long, successful, and prolific career as an author of somewhat psychologically disturbed sci-fi. I love watching the movie version of his book "A Scanner Darkly" because it does a good job of describing the way in which people suffering from the early stages of amphetamine psychosis act and think. The book is even more vivid.
Effector is just more effective.

Modern tools for managing the state solve some problems, but they have problems themselves to a greater or lesser degree, because of which the developer sometimes has to strain more than he could.

Effector is an integrated approach to solving a problem, an attempt to do everything at once. And the attempt is quite successful.

In a nutshell: the speed of work, the size of the bundle, static types, the modularity and, at the same time, the composability of the states in the compartment are better than those of analogs. And, most importantly, api, which does not impose, but gives out of the box enough to solve the total majority of tasks.

In principle, tried to use the approach "the library helps to write good code and does not help writing bad code."

Total: yes, you need to try to understand, you need to compare yourself. But in simple terms - the effector is simply more efficient than other STMs, in a complex way

Oh OK I see what you mean, yes I agree with you then.
Even if we assume your assessment of the problem ("H1B is a bullshit immigration program for cheap engineers from India and China designed to depress wages in silicon valley.") is correct, how is this step taking us towards a solution?
Why did data marketplaces never really take off?
I know a number of data marketplaces were founded a couple years ago, but it seems that most have shut down or aren't really as big as you would expect them to be considering how important and widespread data has become in modern industry. Why?
Based on direct involvement in the process of writing one such policy for one such big internet co., my view is that the confusion and vagueness is largely deliberate. A small part of it is the result of too many people involved pulling in different directions.
You fucking foagies just don't go to the fun parts of the internet
My now wife went through so much trouble with her H1-B, even though she graduated with a Master's from a United States university and was working in the United States. Yet she got stuck in the lottery system. Don't we want high skilled workers contributing to the economy? Even when we got married, we had to wait over a year for her green card for her and went through an interview. The immigration system is tough and cumbersome.
It's a step toward the "staple a green card" immigration policy supported by both republicans and democrats. It's essentially a reversal from the historical "tired, poor, huddled masses" policy of immigration in America to something that is more in line with the rest of the neoliberal world.
The PhD on my team got through in less than 7. The immigrants crossing the southern border are still going through the same process, don't know why someone wanting a better life should cause high-skilled workers much worry.
The idea that those on H1B visas are bringing wages down for software engineers is a popular one. Is it supported by data?

If it isn’t, this is just thinly veiled xenophobia.

Personally, I think the more diverse groups have an opportunity to come to America legally, the better.
I have no idea about the car oil thing. I don't own a car and rent one when I need one. All aspects of the maintenance and care of any car I might be driving I leave to its owners. Which is not that far from what Google are proposing - that someone else (Google) takes responsibility for the machine we're operating and makes sure it's safe.

The problem, of course, is that this trains us to be incapable, and leaves us incapacitated if anything goes wrong. If my rental car breaks down I have no idea what to do except ring the rental company and hope they can send someone to fix it. Likewise, if Google's filter makes a mistake (which it will) then the user has no ability to make any kind of decision on their own. They'll click on the fake bank, lose all their money, and whose responsibility will that be? Google won't pay them back - they just provided a free tool. The bank will want to shift responsibility ("you must have done something unsafe, Google stops all phishing attempts, so you must have told them your login details"). The net result is that while most people will be safer, some people will be in a worse position than they are now.

It doesn't solve any problems for anyone, it just makes us helpless if there is a problem.
There are plenty of religious people in Hacker News. I have no idea why you would think being religious or spiritual would prevent anyone from developing technology.

My religious views do not stem from a lack of intelligence or education.
Previous discussion from a year ago, with the development team showing up in the HN thread! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16110463 - and a great comment from the original developer here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16111620
Sure, so what we can do is punish employers who are found later to have employed people illegally.

IE, if you get "tricked" via a stolen SSN, then the business gets punished regardless.
You'd have to think between this show and Storage Wars that they've run out of interesting things to put on TV.
With the new system, she will have a better chance at getting the visa. Why the concern?

Edit: I'm being down voted, but I don't understand. The change actually prioritizes MS students.
I don't trust that this calculation went into sufficient depth. People who drive cars still eat food.

Not the person giving birth but the progeny. Most countries ~164 out of 194) are jus sanguinis (you inherit nationality of parent(s)) we are one of the exceptions with jus soli. We even have “birth tourism” taking advantage of our liberal policy.
I think we can all agree that anyone trying to blame ANY of the people of Wisconsin at this point are just attempts at deflection. Clearly the fault lies with Walker and his cronies.

On that everyone can agree.

Here's the thing though, it's the people who will have to pay the bill. ALL of us. There's no getting around it. There are a thousand ways for Foxconn to hose us in this agreement, and almost no ways for us to get out of it if I'm understanding this correctly.

So you guys, in Madison and in rural Wisconsin, can sit and call each other names until the cows come home, but in the end you'll all be kicking in a sizable chunk of tax money to pay off Foxconn. Just like I will.

The best thing that could happen for us is for the whole thing to fall apart, Foxconn to walk away, and we just eat the losses we have taken to date. I know that doesn't give farmers their land back, or give people in southeastern Wisconsin their homes back, but it does allow us to forego any further losses on this thing. (And the families that have already been hosed out of their property were never gonna get their farms back anyway.)

Probably won't happen though, this is Wisconsin. Wisconsin politicians are in charge, and there is a lot of money up for grabs. So my own bet would be that come hell or high water, they're gonna find a way to trigger those cash payments to Foxconn. (And consequently, "service" fees I'm sure will be paid to-, and construction contracts will be signed by-, their cronies.)
