I would be very careful about outsourcing our basic civil right to move around freely. Very careful, extremely careful. I live in Europe and I fully appreciate cheap public transport and decongested city centers, but I appreciate more a going fully electric revolution, and still keep my EV and drive wherever I please at any time.. I would not trust any government with the power to own my means of transportation fully,ever. We are living in an era of infantilisation of the society, where we close our eyes to any risk or danger and give up our basic freedoms for a fear of responsibility, this could have catastrophic consequences if the 'wrong' type of ruling class gets into power.
Wow, so this is a number from over a 22-year period that they're presenting as if it's all from the last election? Do they have an agenda?

Or the reserve could be a special administrative region that's partly Canadian and partly USA territory within which travel is unrestricted (sort of like Hong Kong). With two border posts - one on the border of the reserve and Canada and one on the border of the USA and Canada. But of course the problem here isn't lack of sensible solutions, it's political fuckupery.

Can't believe this is only recently getting attention. It's not just Oracle, it's common knowledge how the same thing has been happening in several large corps. I know from the inside because Deloitte came in and scooped up our entire foreign students batch on graduating (Pennsylvania). Same thing happened the next year as well. Many of my friends still work there.

I remember there was a fire drill that took place in their campus in Harrisburg, and my friend sent me a pic he took when the entire campus was out - You could've mistaken it for a campus in Bangalore or Pune. There's definitely some preference they're giving to foreign nationals (specially from India). Please note, I'm an Indian national myself working in the US.

To push the idea furter, a lot of things we call “rights” are privileges in that sense.

The basis of most of them is citizenship, which is basically people born in the right place or from the right parents. If you are born in Germany you have the ‘right’ to move anywhere in the EU. If you have Japanese parents you have the ‘right’ to work in Japan.

The same way wealthy foreigner will have the means to buy these ‘rights’ and become citizen.
When you get to truly late night, NYC is one of the few cities with any subway service at all. The MTA has a lot of issues but in general NYC isn't a great example of a city without good transit coverage.
Don't use the form. Use the legal way to quit any contract in your country. For instance that means sending a paper letter to their offices with the postal service confirming that the letter was received. If your contract has a quitting period pay the 3 months or what. Then stop and ignore all the annoying emails and letters they send you. They will not sue, because they would lose.

Might cost you $5 for the special letter type, and might cost you 3 more monthly fees than you would be willing to pay otherwise. But this is 100% save in all countries with a working legal system. Of course if they come after you with baseball bats or car bombs, then you probably can't quit their "services" anyways. ;)

The question might be: why would anyone make a good, neutral, facts-based video about, for example, Antarctica ? Making a video takes a lot of effort. So if someone puts in that effort, there is probably a strong motivation behind it. Very likely 'selling' a product or idea. So most 'free' videos on youtube are probably biased in some way.
I won't say I never take cabs/Uber/Lyft. But, on business travel, I'm constantly struck by the number of people who, confronted with going somewhere more than a few blocks away, their automatic reflex is to pull out their phone.

The Beat's Holy Grail: The Letter That Inspired 'On the Road'
Improving commuter networks invariably helps housing but it does further the trend of allowing (from a planning perspective) the hyper-concentration of industry. These centres inflate local property prices and top-end salaries, forcing lower-end people away from where they work. As new commuter towns get established, the lower classes and forced further and further away.

They've been trying variants on this for two hundred years in the UK. It's always ultimately self defeating. The only way you fix it is dispersing industry.
That is a different problem, clients can always have bad connections that is not solved by UDP/HTTP.

Yep. With all the tailoring and tracking Google does, there is really no information you can glean from the results of a search other than "Google thinks you'll spend time watching these videos that translates into ad revenue". And given all the publicity they're getting now, it's hard to fault the algorithm for doing what it was meant to.
It reminds me of something from Robert Kiyosaki's book "Rich dad, poor dad" (I'm surprised I'd quote that) that basically says that the things you need to do or pay will be done or paid, while the ones that not necessarily will be done or paid might not.
Therefore do the unnecessary ones first because the necessary ones will be done anyways. This way you end up with e.g. both leisure time and work done instead of just work done but no leisure time.

An interesting thought, in my opinion.
most of the people in my apartment building are retired people, none of them use car, i have two small children and consider cars in city nuisance, we have 200m walk to tram stop (subway maybe 800m) which can take us anywhere in city, why would i bother with car. it takes me 5 or 8 minutes by tram to reach two different shopping malls, 4 minutes by tram to pretty big supermarket or have 3 other supermarkets within 900m radius

Dark Side of the Kremlin: 108 GB of Files from Russian Oligarchs in Ukraine
Traditionally in Unix and Windows contexts, "processes" means separate memory address spaces and OS-guaranteed isolation, and "threads" mean threads of execution that have shared access to one address space.

Erlang processes are threads as seen by the OS, but the Erlang runtime implements process-y restrictions that enforce isolation and forbid shared memory between Erlang processes that do infact exist as threads inside te Erlang VM.

The programming model, as seen by the Erlang/Elixir prgrammer, is thus anologous to Unix processes, just with lower overheads.

I would love to see more details on the actual compensation at Google.

My anecdotal feeling after discussing with multiple googlers is that the top performers are overly well paid, but most engineers are paid under what they could get at another company.

They use their marketing hype/PR and their brand name to be able to achieve this, with an unlimited supply of fanboys that want to get in even possibly while being paid under market rate.

Tariffs are supported by both left and right for different reasons. People like Trump represent national/regional industrial interests so they want local production and less competition from abroad.
Leftists (in the european, non-neoliberal sense) want to empower the local workers and economies. The resulting action is the same. And it makes sense from a geopolitical perspective too.

There are valid reasons not to implement tariffs too, but having completely unrestricted trade imbalances is a bad idea no matter how you look at it.
Google has internal equivalent of docker which they use instead, and they are one of biggest contributors to kubernetes. Im sure there are more reasons though.

Getting to Antarctica is hard. Unless you are of vast private means or have spent a decade with a government science organisation in a G7 nation, Argentina, Chile, China or Russia then you are not going to get there. There is no commercial activity there and tourism doesn't happen. Even TV crews usually go with some government science trip.

Consequently Antarctica is ripe for people saying silly things without having a clue about what is really happening there. Add to the mix satellite imagery. It is very easy to misread satellite imagery. Even basic things such as clouds take a while to understand. Imagery of Antarctica is much like looking at clouds from the ground when bored (or on drugs), the pattern matching algorithms of the brain can see anything including pictures of Jesus Christ on a piece of toast in a cloud.

Then there is the matter of proving that things said to exist don't exist. If some conspiracy theory claims that the U.S. government has all these pipes and facilities laid out deep under the Antarctic ice and 'here is the satellite imagery to prove it' then you are in 'god does not exist/homeopathy' belief territory. Believers won't accept that their beliefs are bullshit. That is the problem with beliefs instead of facts.
The giveaway here is that anyone who invokes this comment, only ever does so while determinedly extrapolating the worst-possible motives and character traits from it, rather than engaging in a nuanced, fair-minded discussion.

I can imagine there being quite an interesting discussion that could be had about a 19-year-old future tech billionaire making this comment, and what it says about their psychology at that time and in the time since, but I've not ever seen anyone raise it with the intention of having that kind of discussion.

It's only ever invoked as an attempted mic-drop, but due to being entirely repetitive and predictable, has no rhetorical impact at all.

Although I don't necessarily agree with what GP is saying, it seems to be spreading ignorance to say "if you can't figure out why [then I'm not going tell you] and you shouldn't be talking about it".

Sichuan is a country? Oh, no, it's a province. Why aren't you comparing it to Bavaria?

But to answer your question - yes, of course that makes sense due to variations of size, population, and factories per localized area. A corn grower in one part of the country with little people offsets carbon from a smog factory in a different part of the country. Per capita production is the only logical thing that does, when you are comparing countries. Which is what we are doing here.

Clerical Exile in Late Antiquity
You made a moral statement:

"No one is entitled to income, a job, or having others pay for their expenses."

This can only be interpreted as a description of what you believe the values of your society to be. Of course, some people have contracts that in fact entitle them to work. But that is not what you mean. You mean that, in the abstract, society does not owe you a job, or a way to provide for yourself, or help if you need it.

The Declaration of Human Rights is also a set of moral statements. It is not law, it is a description of a fundamental set of values that the signatories agree are their own too. It does not go in the direction of "just because you exist, you are not entitled to anything". It goes in the direction of: "the point of society is to give people opportunities to life fulfilling and meaningful lives and sometimes they need help".

Nah. Some people in it shifted, dragged a whole lot of fools with them, didn't experience a reckoning right away, and now think the air's clear. The main punishment for what they've become is being what they've become, that stigma remains whether they can see it or not. They might find themselves scratching at closed doors for undiseased sources of nourishment at some point.

Rellic: LLVM-IR – C decompiler [pdf]
My understanding is that Docker was the preferred container engine for k8s, but Docker did not reciprocate the interest, instead preferring to push Swarm.

Having supported Docker in production, I've found that the stability wasn't quite where it needed to be, but Docker Inc. seemed more interested in adding more and more features rather than stabilizing what they already had. I would definitely welcome a less complex base for running containers in production.
That's used to be the case for me, but since like a month I see more older content(also YT has removed date of when the video was published from right hand recommendations).

This is something that confuses me. Servers offer CGI and fastCGI and if you aren't using those to interface with your own code, how do you do so otherwise? Do some languages have their own deep connections into the server flow that makes them faster? I just don't understand this.

"If an algorithm doesn't work, then responsibility lies with the person who deployed the software. Real people cannot become laboratory rats for the testing of an algorithm."

I'm wondering what the HN opinions are on this view. My guess is that the argument will be that this will stifle innovation. But Facebook has such clout that algorithms have very direct effect on people, up to even the security of a state. I hear Facebook was a major contributer to the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya. Is algorithm deployment subject to (government) audit? Or are there alternatives to ensure the algorithm does nothing bad?

FYI, Google just completed adding all the pre-requisites for this course to their Colab service, which provides a GPU-powered Jupyter Notebook for free. There are no usage restrictions, other than that each session must be no longer than 12 hours (after 12 hours, you can just create a new session). So this means you can complete the whole course, and do your own projects, even if you don't have a credit card.
