You don't need a third party. You can `openssl req` a self-signed certificate, and as long as whatever device you want to talk to accepts it, you get secure communication.

Ask HN: Prefer being tracked and seeing ads, or pay small subscription?
I am curious, after seeing so many consumer tech companies in the news about data collection, if you would rather pay a small fee, (something like $1 a month) for all of the big tech companies you use that are currently "free" thanks to ad-revenue?

Instead of a company tracking you, you would pay them about $1 a month to not track you and show you ads. Assume the economics of all of the web services you use for free is such that, they are incentivized for you to pay $1 rather than try to get $1 from you with ad revenue.
Swift arrays have pass-by-value semantics (under the cover, they use copy-on-write to keep performance good) and are thus safe to pass to functions without concern that they'll be modified. (Unless it's passed as an `inout` parameter, which requires a prepended "&" at the call site.)
>>Men can get parental leave in European countries, so in this case your strategy is not working.

Depends on the country. In mine women get much more time and men usually take none or just a few weeks at most. I think that's the case in most countries.

So, OTOH, is a sex discrimination lawsuit, especially when you are blatantly guilty.

Also, most Western jurisdictions with paid or even unpaid but job-protected parental leave policies apply them without limitation by gender.

And these days, youth is not essentially to being a parent (even a natural parent, but parental leave policies usually apply to adoptive parents as well.)

Yeah, if a company is claiming this is a too large of a hardship to implement all that tells me is that they are running their business poorly.
True, but it's hard to force oneself to care about other people, to be honest. Many are naturally self-centered, and it's not easy to trick/convert one's mind into not being self-centered. There are some tips like finding a common interest, but not enough. The book has gaps in that aspect.

> For a book that's the foundation of our entire Western Civilization

That might be putting it a bit strongly. "western civilization" derives from ancient greek society, which wasn't christian, but contained many concepts that are considered foundational to our society (such as democracy).
I am not allowed to ask though. That's the whole point: extended maternal leaves cause discrimination when hiring women. I would love to be able to hire on merits alone but if I am facing much higher risk of not being able to put my children in a good school when hiring a women then I won't do that. No amount of moral outrage is going to put someone's children above my own. If you want me to not discriminate then please make laws which remove incentives to do so.
Came here to say this. It's the most printed book in the world for a reason.
Norway gives 14 weeks for the mother, 14 weeks for the father, and then either 49 weeks or 59 weeks to be allocated freely between the parents.

If you choose 49 weeks, all of the leave is at 100% of salary. If you choose 59 weeks, the leave is at 80% of salary.
Do you invest in those using a self directed IRA? And is the 10% coming from interest income rather than NAV appreciation?

I've been looking into several private REITs in the past, and their return is indeed in the 10% ballpark (usually 10% is the ceiling), mostly distributed as interest income. The problem with that is that if you don't hold them in a tax sheltered account, your 10% will easily become 5% after taxes, since interest income is taxed at your marginal rate, so if you're at the peak of your earning career in a coastal city, 50%+ marginal tax rate is not at all uncommon.

In comparison, broad cap index funds are much much more tax efficient via qualified dividends and long term capital gains, so to get 5% after tax from those you need much less than 10% returns.

I decided to give up on investing in private REITs, I don't like the idea of taking a substantial amount of risk just to then send all the premium to Uncle Sam, and being a traditional W2 employee, access to self directed IRA is not worth the trouble.

Many people (not saying it's you) like to boast about their pre-tax return: the only thing that counts is how much you're keeping after taxes.

Is it really standard practice to demand a sample be returned in original condition in 60 days?

Especially a sample of glass?

Surely the buyer would want to bend it, scratch it, coat it, paint it, etc. to determine if it's suitable for their usecases?

In my experience, it's typical for samples to be provided free (or for a nominal cost), with no strings attached. If there was anything 'secret' in them, they would be protected by copyright, trademarks and patents.
Another reason is that "embedded" roles encompass tools and products spanning all sorts of different fields, many which require extensive domain knowledge and experience.

Your cognitive dissonance must be impressive. You have recently wrote:

>She is openly racist and sexist so good riddance

> I think it's very reasonable to be against Islam because of its stance on gay rights, women rights

And here you are being sexist and ignoring the right of women to not be discriminated against because of their gender.

How do you reconcile these positions inside your own head?
I absolutely agree with you. The primary need that blockchain enthusiasts have is to talk about blockchain uninterrupted for several hours. Neither of these offerings manages to address that need.
Summary: countries with mandatory parental leave have the parents paid at least partially by those high social security taxes, so it's no problem to hire a replacement.

If the company has to pay the parental leave and the replacement, it's of course more difficult.

Isn't the elephant in the room here that the stories that can be auto-generated don't have a creative component? They are just reporting some factual event or data. That is exactly analogous to robots that can assemble something on a factory line because all of the steps can be pre-programmed.

"Real" journalists are the ones that go through various facts and other tidbits and realize that there is a story that is deeper than just the facts. They research and tell that story so that the reader can understand it and appreciate why it is important or insightful. That is something that a 'robo-journalist' won't be able to do for a while.

For example, you can easily write a script to publish descriptions of the local high school football game every Friday night. But a robot doing that won't recognize when one of the team's members is exceptional, or how a team has changed its tactics to increase its ability to win games, or the impact of new facilities have had on the teams performance. Connecting those dots are still outside the realm of possible for these things.
It drove me up the wall and I didn't finish it.

All this "if you answered c, e and f, we are not of the same opinion" feels passive-aggressive to me.

The whole thing feels manipulative to me. It makes me think that people try an insincere way of talking to me, in order to manipulate my feelings and reaction.

I've had huge discussions with friends who try to live the book, and neither of us could make the other see their point.

One of their examples was "My boyfriend likes to go DJing, but sometimes I'd love for him to stay home and cuddle with me. So I clearly tell him that him leaving makes me feel alone and that I would like some warmth. But I don't tell him what to do, to stay at home, for example. I only talk about my own perception and feelings."
–
"Yes, that's great, but in communication there is the level of pragmatics above pure logical semantics. And you telling your boyfriend that him leaving makes you feel very alone is just another way of saying 'please don't go'".
There is a lot wrong with this comment.

To start with, nothing I said here was directed towards Trump so Ivanka isn't relevant. Even if she was, aren't we past the whole "some of my friends are black" excuse for bigotry? Plenty of people otherize a group while thinking the people they know in that group are "one of the good ones".

The next big problem is the equating Jews with all of Israel. It is entirely possible for someone to be antisemitic and pro-Israel or anti-Israel and not antisemitic. Israel is an independent nation with its own politics and there are plenty of Jews there with any number of political ideologies. Over recent years the political climate of Israel has been skewing right (in part due to the support of the American right/Evangelicals who are pro-Israel and not necessarily pro-Jews). It is therefore natural that members of the political left in this country are reacting by distancing themselves from the political actions of Israel.

I am not going to get into a debate about Palestine, Farrakhan, or anything more political than than what I mentioned above. HN is not the place for that discussion and I don't think that discussion has any relevance to the original question of whether mocking a Jewish person's nose is potentially antisemitic.

Is that from one of his books (e.g. Programming Pearls, More Programming Pearls, Writing Efficient Programs), or from some paper he published? I've read parts of the first two books and most of the third book, and all are great.

Shaker sort is an interesting variation of bubble sort (and maybe also selection sort, according to its Wikipedia page) that sorts in both directions.

Only slightly more complex than bubble sort, which is itself simple.

>>Okay, so... how do they do it? They never answer the question.

If you have say, a CFO or a specialist mechanic (that you only need 1 of, but definitely need) and they take a year off, what do you do? Just go without a CFO/mechanic for the year? Or do you start the hiring search, bring in another person as a temp CFO for a year? What if you can't find a temp, so you hire someone?

Canadian companies will try to hire ahead of the parental leave for 1 year contracts, and stipulate ahead of time that the contract is exactly that - a short-term, time-boxed employment duration. Sometimes there is the option depending on performance and/or business outlooks that the person's contract can be extended or converted to a FTE (assuming they were only hired as a contractor, which may or may not be the case).

>Is the person entitled to their old job back? Do you fire the new person or the old one?

Yes, the person is entitled to their old job back by law.

>What if the person takes parental leave again after 1 month back? Do you accept that you've torpedoed some role? Do you try to slowly phase out this person's job description and offload their work onto their coworkers?

Usually there is a minimum time back, which I thought was 3 months back, but don't have the citation handy. Canadian companies (and I'm sure other non-Canadian companies that operate in countries with similar parental leave durations) will all handle the ripple effects in different ways. Some will offload to others in the team (probably in larger companies?), or simply hire for that role for a 9-12 month contract.

>More succinctly, what if someone is definitely necessary in the near-day-to-day, and does not do work that is interchangeable with other employees?

In this scenario, the company usually has 2-3 months to figure out a contingency plan. There is a disruptive effect, but it's not really any different than managing for the "bus/lottery factor".

>I suspect that firms have learned to deal with it, but by doing things like passively selecting against women and younger people for critical roles. Is that how they manage? Is that an improvement?

This is a legitimate question. I think this is one of the reasons why the wording is so careful about this being about parental leave, and not just maternal leave. I think this concern and potential bias runs through every company owner's head at some point, but thankfully these laws make it such that it would be discrimination if this point were used in the hiring process and I hope, at some level, acts as a deterrant or diminishes the frequency of this bias in the hiring process.
No.

My humanity is more important to me than others. I have to take care of myself because I know others would resent me if they had to take care of me. I'm sure you wouldn't be thrilled to provide for me if I came to your house with my hat in hand.

And you feel the same way - we're just arguing over where to draw the line. If you save any money that could be donated to those in need, you've also put money above humanity. Have you ever bought a Mcflurry? Did you really need that sweet treat more badly than someone needed a malaria net?

So where's the line of sociopathy? What's the permissible amount of money to put above humanity?
IPv6 actually _is_ a newer version of the Internet Protocol. I think that is a plain old version. Sure, we don't know what happened to IPv5 (unless we google it), but that's not that weird, that happens with other things and their versions, versions get abandoned.
> I was on parental leave two months as CTO. My cofounder was away almost a year as CRO

2 months is nothing. The later example is abit closer. In some of my examples above, we're talking nearly 3 years. That's a whole different level.
> Sometimes I think the terrible web sites they have for hotel reservations are just a smokescreen.

Captain Obvious says he'd imagine that the amount of money brought in from room reservations is a drop in the bucket to what is made on the casino floor, hence the comping of rooms for players. The money spent on reservations vs protecting the gaming would be in proportion to that.

Maybe Captain Obvious is being a bit simple minded, but makes sense. Everything about the hotel is geared to get you to lose your money in the casino.

Secret Subway Tunnels in New York City
I mean one of the parents not both, in my case (I am a man in Romania) my wife could not qualify at that time since she was at university/college and I benefited by the parental leave.

The law does not discriminate by the parent gender, so if the man decides to stay at home with the child is fine.
It comes down to the type of degradation that happens and device support.

h.265 gets blurry, h.264 gets blocky. Higher quality encodes, especially of film will degrade worse in 265. Hardware is also much worse in terms of overall support for h.265.

My Nvidia Shield TV is the only small/arm device I've used that can reliably playback 4K h.265 video, specifically network content from my NAS (Kodi).

h.265 is much more common as an option for TV feeds, the quality is usually lower than BR anyway and the smaller size leads to better near term gratification, you can get a 1080p h.265 for often smaller than the 720p h.264 which looks significantly better.

I tend to prefer it for my own rips as I get a much smaller file size, which is starting to get scarce on my NAS. I prefer the blur to the blockiness myself, and my vision isn't the greatest anyway. YMMV.
Not leave -- and note that I'm not opposed to the leave policies -- but I worked at a place that involved travel. The parents always managed to get out of it. I ended up leaving because what would have been a reasonable amount of travel split 4 ways was an unreasonable amount split 1 way (me) with 3 parents who did virtually none of it.

It'd be OK if you added it in the contract. "Deliverable will degrade in visual appearance through a 10% daily reduction in opacity if payment is not made on the schedule and according to the terms described in section X.Y below. Full payment including any applicable late fees or interest will restore the site to full functionality and visual appearance and will remove the opacity reduction code."

At the very least it'd spark an interesting discussion with the client that might allow you to reach another measure which would satisfy both parties.
Well, in this thread we have a lot of implicit (and some explicit) derogatory stereotypes of people who live in larger houses, and nobody seems to mind. Plus, trailer trash absolutely exist. But they frequently don't live in trailers.
>>Maternity/Paternity leave is the norm all over Europe and it works.

It doesn't really work that well. Young women face blatant discrimination in hiring and small employers and sadly it's for good reasons as here a lot of women go on medical 2months into pregnancy and then take the full leave.

>>. If you had a daughter perhaps you would realise that "not giving a job to a young woman because she may decide to get pregnant" is pretty much the worst reason to refuse someone employment, regardless of the law, you are happy to discriminate against a person just because of their genitalia. That's a sad state of affairs for you, your company and your family.

I hear your moral outrage but I put well-being of my family first. I prefer to be sexists if my children don't need to worry about food and good school than being gender neutral and worrying about how I am going to pay for a good school or for the treatment if they get sick.

Anybody can leave at any time for any reason. I had much worse luck young male developers out of school and them leaving after a few months than with a developer leaving on maternity leave and coming back.
