Google has YouTube Red (maybe it's called "Premium" now?) which is offered as an ad-free version, with some other benefits such as offline viewing, and I do pay for it. So that supports your thesis.

>What does that affect? All undergraduate students coming to the U.S. who spend $$$ on a 4 year college degree here and then try to find a job.

That’s great... hire locals not foreigners just because they paid for a degree. I don’t care what they paid for. This is supposedly for specialized knowledge—-it shouldn’t be going to ANYONE entry level or undergrad...
That's what the regulations say right now - for each title, there's a prevailing wage level that DOL publishes and a H1 has to meet that wage level. It is however a single level across the country so it tends to be a bit on the lower side.

I found the CSP paper a bit too dense. Could someone suggest a beginner friendly introduction to CSP ?
With TypeScript I can make a change and immediately get a list of every single line I need to update. None of those replace that very key functionality.

> and you can't leave those out safely

Who's advocating for the replacement of code review, specs, and tests with TypeScript? TypeScript makes these things better, it doesn't replace them.
Does there need to be something called "Minnesota autism council" at all?
This is the dumbest idea I’ve ever seen. Why bother being a country at that point? You’d have 2 billion people moving here tomorrow and living in the streets. Bad idea.
I suppose it depends on whether or not you consider it morally acceptable for a country to prioritize the prosperity of its own citizens over that of non-citizens.

I.e., whom does a country's government serve?
Good argument, maybe it should be based on the area of land controlled by each nation? Population density or Tons of CO2 produced per square mile?
The problem with per capita policy is it encourages over population which makes the problem worse.
Where I live, the light rail isn't access controlled, so they send officers around randomly to verify that everyone on the train have a valid pass (and ticket those who don't). Nobody really complains about it or thinks it's invasive.

I don't see how this would be any different.
This is a very dumb straw man attack. Stop it.

Open offices are great for some kinds of work, just not for programming or most technical work.
"My wife and I always wanted a Leica camera and suddenly we realized that if we didn’t buy it now, we will not be able to for a while."

Is this the mindset of "better buy the expensive thing before we can't afford it"? I've seen this expressed before and it's not sound reasoning. If you wouldn't be able to keep that money in a savings account because you know you'd later find other uses of the money to provide better value then you shouldn't be comfortable spending it on a depreciating asset immediately. The only way it makes sense is if you trust your future self's reasoning less than you trust your present self's.
No, GP is right, I would feel attacked by this if I were Chinese. Hanlon‘s razor though.
Most IT / h1 roles are not based out of the Bay Area [1]. Significant amounts of H1b population goes to doing cookie cutter consulting projects spread across the country and setting a 150k min on the wage means that you won't be able to hire H1s at all in other parts of the country. Obviously this creates a lot of demand for American programmers and personal experience suggests that this will cause a labor shortage.

So not bringing over underpaid foreign workers makes us MORE colonial? Got it...

Some of us don’t care about US hegemony, which doesn’t really exist anyways... this is about labor. You’re just moving the goalposts to all this other non-sensical stuff.
>To that end, we’ll begin reducing recommendations of borderline content and content that could misinform users in harmful ways—such as videos promoting a phony miracle cure for a serious illness, claiming the earth is flat, or making blatantly false claims about historic events like 9/11.

So this will apply to Christian(etc) videos?

Or is this really code for videos we consider alt-right? Cause we all know it is. aka Republicans.
Why is it morally acceptable for a country to prioritize the prosperity of its own citizens, but not for whites to prioritize the prosperity of fellow whites?
All the AI stuff is really still incredibly dumb. Same for Amazon: Buy a mixer and suddenly you will be haunted everywhere by ads offering more mixers

Do we know it's actually dumb?

Like, given that you just bought a mixer, perhaps in an absolute sense, you're unlikely to buy a second mixer. But relative to everything else that you might buy, perhaps you are very likely to buy a second mixer!

There are huge financial incentives to get these ads right. I'm more inclined to guess that Amazon is doing something right than that they're leaving money on the table.
>Surprisingly, even thousands of threads can often have better throughput than using event loops and non-blocking IO

Hundreds may be a bad example, it's going to vary based on how big your server is but there is a tipping point where threads become very infeasible. I've yet to hit that limit with Goroutines and have literally hit millions of them on relatively small allocations without much of a hitch. Event loops and non blocking IO may perform worse than threads, but I have extreme doubts that threads beat goroutines (and equivalent models like erlang processes.)

Telecoms do pay for it. They pay for hardware, install, and rent for the pole space. This ruling just limits how much local govt can charge for pole rent. It is consumer friendly because it helps accelerate a stable roll out and keeps costs down. It also limits the ability of NIMBY cities to block rollouts by over charging.
>Clear filters can’t hurt IQ other than introducing flare or ghosts in backlighting.

Or causing fringing, or reducing sharpness, or reducing contrast...

The absolute _best_ that a filter can do to IQ is nothing. But that's basically impossible. Every air/glass interface causes reflections, and no piece of glass is optically perfect. So it's going to hurt your IQ, the question is merely how much, and whether it's worthwhile.

I used to use them. Then I decided I was probably never going to get much of anything reselling my lenses, so I might as well just use them instead of trying to baby them. Haven't had a problem with that decision, but YMMV.
My previous colleges in Baidu and Alibaba in China are paid similarly as in US (6~8 years SWE). USD $200K~$300K is very common. The range is very broad though.

Also, Beijing is not a cheap place. Real estate prices are comparable to NYC.

Due to demand and supply, SWEs are among best paid jobs.,
Same here. It's worth it. It means everything my family and I watch is ad free. YouTube, Netflix, HBO... Well, aside from HBO's preroll ads for themselves. Annoying.
This "branching" could be thought of as a generalized kind of ACID transaction.

After all, a transaction mimics having an isolated snapshot of your database, a one-level-deep temporary branch that is merged back on commit, and which can (like version control merges) fail on conflict.

I'd love to see a database that supported branching in this way. The difficulty here isn't really the technical implementation of the branching at the data store level, which is rather trivial, but the merging. The challenge is exactly the same as a version control system like git. git can leave conflict merging to a human operator, but a database system can't, unless you bubble the conflict up to the client, which will work in some cases (interactive UIs) and not in others (automated sysrems).

To support any kind of conflict resolution at all, values and updates need to be reformulated as CRDTs or some similar mechanism that can provide conflict-solving semantics. Instead of recording tuple changes as simple value assignments, they need to be merged as operations -- if x starts out as 42, then doing "update ... set x = x + 1" is the equivalent of "set x = 43" in a typical modern RDBMS transaction, but to preserve the semantics in the face of a conflicting merge, the transaction log needs to be recorded as "x = x + 1".
They retail at $10, but wholesale they sell for $3.

Add in realistic parking costs. IMHO if we abolished free parking and completely moved vehicle taxes over to fuel taxes, the system would be more fair.
The simple answer is that the US fought a war over the question of whether it can prioritize fellow whites and the pro side lost. Badly.
Counterpoint: I've never had a car in five decades. I live in the same town where I grew up. Car use has increased massively and our road into the countryside has recently been 'upgraded' to arterial status, though with no change of infrastructure.

Ask HN: Is simple file sync/bkup for a small distributed team solved yet?
I have a very small company and we all work from home. I am trying to setup a seamless backup solution for all of our machines.

I am going to use Dropbox Pro to sync all of our important stuff, but we have large media files that we need backed up.

I want to get a dedicated server in my home office and setup a network share (over the internet) where they can just drop large media files in that folder/network share and it automatically gets uploaded to my server.

Then I would like to backup that server to some remote service.

My partners have Macs, I have both a Mac and a PC.

Is there a simple system/solution that will allow me to do all of the above seamlessly?

I am very technical, but I am looking for the simplest solution to both setup and work.
The trouble is most projects are NOT employing the other reviews properly. The study made no effort to determine the quality of the test and review process, and instead assumed that they had been done by virtue of the bugs being merged to the master branch.

The study then finds that about 80% of the bugs they found were not simply ts-undetectable, but not type errors at all. Instead, they're things like the wrong URLs being used (sting errors), wrong branching logic, wrong predicate logic, etc.

That means the maximum effect must be less than 20%, but the authors couldn't detect 20% even knowing exactly what the bug and fix was, down to the line numbers and exact code used to fix the bug.

Even being extremely generous and assuming they could fix 20% of remaining bugs, it's too far down the ladder of exponentially diminishing returns to make much difference at that stage.
That may be true, but do you become Irish by working for 5 years? I know countries in Europe where even if you were born there, the native population will still consider you a foreigner. In the US, people will treat you as one of their own as soon as you step out of the airport.
How so? I claim that severe discrimination (like banning a group of people from entry level positions) based on circumstances of birth is ethically dubious. I think that's why we don't entertain the idea of banning people from entry level work because they were born to black parents. Why doesn't it generalize to being born to Indian parents?

There are many legitimate reasons to target ads demographically, e.g. I'm trying to sell certain hair care products to people of African descent, or any number of feminine products to younger women, or Viagra to older men.

Even in something like real estate it can be valid, e.g. advertising a condo in a retirement community to people over age 50.

> why the hell is it that, whenever I see someone defending such content, it's almost always someone who belongs in the category of people who believe in said content

Since nobody here has given any indication that they believe in these ideas, it's probably because you simply assume that anyone defending it believes in it.

Possibly also because the concept of not wanting to take down objectionable videos is a "weird" idea, and people who are willing to take weird ideas seriously probably have lots of other weird ideas.

Is it actually a legitimate concern that a patent troll would be able to sustain a claim to syntactic sugar around a specific monad? It seems far more likely that a non-patent trolling entity would implement a similar feature in some other language (along with the languages that already have similar features) than a patent troll would sue and claim patent rights to it.
> To that end, we’ll begin reducing recommendations of borderline content and content that could misinform users in harmful ways—such as videos promoting a phony miracle cure for a serious illness, claiming the earth is flat, or making blatantly false claims about historic events like 9/11.

Instead, why not just include videos that thoroughly debunks these ideas in the recommendation section of these videos ?
I don’t think the analysis is that difficult. Imagine that the interstates were only used for military transportation (both for emergencies, which presumably haven’t happened much, and for regular logistics). Surely the ongoing maintenance costs would be vastly reduced.

Those costs would be the costs that “we the people” accept as valid usage of taxpayer money. You could throw in costs for other public interests like emergency logistics (e.g. FEMA moving goods and personnel for hurricane relief), first-class mail, etc., and you’re still probably only accounting for a very small portion of the taxpayer money that is currently going toward regular interstate maintenance.

The rest of the taxpayer costs are just subsidies of private interests, namely commercial freight and personal transportation. Those subsidies aren’t “free.” They come at the expense of other private interests, like freight and passenger railroads. These subsidies undoubtedly drastically change the economy, pushing everything toward just-in-time fulfillment, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, etc.

I would like to see these private subsidies reduced or eliminated, perhaps by charging tolls.
Is there a one-click docker image or other VM one can run as the announcer/tracker for Syncthing?
I'm having trouble understanding which level of abstraction you're trying to discuss.

Are you arguing that two human attributes in particular, race and birthplace, should for some reason be subject to the same level of discrimination in hiring?

Or are you asking a more abstract question? I.e., given any human attribute ${attrib}, what are the principles a government should use when deciding if ${attrib} is a legally protected class?
Some good reasons for that:

1. I get type feedback in my browser with inference.
2. I get near real-time feedback from TDD on file save.
3. I get real-time lint feedback, too.

The net result is I get several multiples better bug coverage than TypeScript alone can provide at about the same speed -- while writing idiomatic JS.
US hegemony doesn't exists LOL

US currently controls the entire see trade. International money transfers, etc. If US puts UNILATERAL sanctions on a country, everyone has to follow it.

Every country has its advantages. US has capital and already monopolized a lot of industries. India/China have cheap talented labor. They use that to their advantage. If you want to stop them from using any advantage and still demand access to their resources, their markets, that colonization 101.

If US puts pressure on the advantage india has, then India will retaliate. Both sides will have loses.

At this point, if you are too entrenched in your world view and nothing I say would change your mind, just say so.

I am just pointing out that H1-B even if it's causing trouble in US's market (and not that much) it's able to get them world's top talent, makes America looks good and give US advantage over othet countries in terms of talent. Dude just look at Google's CEO or Microsoft's CEO or other immigrants. If these guys were denied visa and they started companies back in their country (maybe they could have, maybe they wouldn't have) none of the jobs you are talking about would exist.

This is not a zero-sum game you are making it out to be.

Because it’s intellecually dishonest and an argument based on the fallacy of appeal to extremes.

There is obviously a difference between citizenship and race... the entire purpose of a government is to service its citizens. Unfortunately, we don’t live in a Star Trek utopia where there is free movement of all people. If one country were to allow this first, they’d just be harming themselves, which would be against the interests of its citizens. You look out for your own citizens first. That’s just a government fundamental.
>Quite frankly, because Go developers don't learn from other's mistakes and reinvent square wheels.

Your response doesn't even start on the right foot, since Java never used green threads for performance and therefore is not a good place to hedge this argument at. Citation needed if you're going to start with that.

You can also go ahead and insult the Erlang developers for Processes since they did it first:

http://erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/processes.html

>This is because any inefficiency in threading comes from the scheduler. Your usermode scheduler will always necessarily be slower and worse; it just makes so much sense to put your scheduling code where your context switching and process isolation code already is.

You know, a Go context switch doesn't hit the kernel. It's not more expensive than a kernel context switch. I don't know why you'd think it is. Why not inline scheduling to the process where it knows what's blocked on what?

>Sure, you can get a short-term gain by iterating fast and testing code if kernel developers are too slow and/or unwilling; but then eventually your code will get merged into the kernel anyways once you're done. So really usermode threads are only good as a rapid prototyping tool, not something for serious use.

You can hold your breath for threads to become cheaper than goroutines, but careful not to suffocate. A goroutine pretty much just needs a stack, 4kb. The kernel thread has structures, well, in the kernel, for paging, for the task itself, and the stack structure is bigger (think you can at least adjust that though.)

And as for integrating the Go GC into the scheduler... I'd love to see what Linus's thoughts on merging that to kernel are!

Doesn't matter if you just have a few thousand threads but that's a limiting way to look at something. RabbitMQ can have processes all over the place for everything and have more processes than you could ever have threads and it remains among best in class for performance.
Several times. :D
Again, protectionism. If a billion people in India and a billion people in China are competing in global markets, my country's culture isn't going to survive anyway. How is Ottoman culture doing these days? Honestly, how is the British culture of even a century ago doing these days? How long did the Japanese culture so carefully preserved survive Matthew Perry's arrival?

(Also as it happens I'm an American-born child of Indian immigrants, so I am actually a carrier of American culture and not Indian, so I have reason to question the implicit assumption that immigrants will destroy culture.)
I don't think the GP was giving an argument that the current state of affairs is morally acceptable.

I think GP was giving a causal explanation in terms of political history.

Back on labor market after 5 years, what's next?
I'm back on the labor market after 5 years in the bay area. I'm looking for new opportunities but I don't really know how to find interesting ones.

I'm exceptionally good at solving complex problems, implementing/creating new algorithms to solve them.

What companies (still) have nice challenging problems to solve ? Where should I be looking ?!

You get to control which office to go to. The HQs where I live are about 3-5 hours daily drive, or moving to a slummy place with insane rent.

Coworking spaces have very nice environments and public transport access. Small offices are usually away from other coworkers, but you can find something near a nice restaurant or next to your kid's school.
