Did the boys surround and approach the old man to stand intimidatingly close as WaPo reported?

Answer Y or N.

> > You seem genuinely confused about the nature of reality.

> how am I in a 'confused nature of reality'.

That is not the what I wrote. I've included the real quote above.

I say that you're confused about the nature of reality because you repeatedly say a documented fact is a matter of perception, and cannot say whether you believe it is true of false.

We are on Hacker News right now. If someone reported we were having this conversation on Ars Technica, that would be false. That is not a matter of perception or feeling. This is how facts work.

Do you the footage of the old man approaching the group of boys and standing very close to one of them is fake?
You're supposed to be reasonable. Phrases like "copaganda" suggest you're not.

I'm telling you this to help you be more convincing.

If they genuinely have a lower performance, they will sell their services at a price matching their performance and have no problem finding clients.

However, I dispute that premise. You are jumping to conclusions. The "disabled and English learners" I have met offer tremendous value, in different axes.

Someone who is blind is used to processing audio at several time the speed a non blind person can. So if I need someone to summarize and extra data from audio, I want someone who's blind. Because they will be more efficient than you or I.

I don't know about you, but I assume you are not blind. If you want to sell me your services, I'll pay you a fraction of what I'll pay a blind contractor because they will be more efficient than you.

Someone for which English is not their first language often uses a lower number of words, and makes simpler sentences. This is a godsent for technical documentation.

I fear you inner bias make you consider that as "intial disadvantage". It is extremely short sighted.

Feel free to call me prejudiced when I prefer blind and ESL hires.

> The system is failing to override the styles.

I agree, but I think this could be phrased better: If the system is using a (light-foreground-on-)dark-background theme, it should force web pages to use a dark-background theme, no matter what CSS they have.
Totally get your point. To be clear, I'm not against learn to code.

If your goal is to become a tech entrepreneur, then yes, learn to code.

If not, and if you're coming from zero, chase your idea down with HST to prove it's viable before spending all that learning curve time coding it.

Disappointing. I can understand having to cave in China, but Russia is a much smaller market and Apple could've afforded to take a stand.
Why would you go through all that effort just to have the door slammed in your face? It’s like showing up to a random person’s house party uninvited, being booted out, and returning each week. It’s not like you can’t create your own house party or find another house party where you’re invited to.
What we've learned about hiring engineering managers
I think it's useful as far as making the amount stick in the brain. For like 90% of America a stat like that is a hugely disturbing figure.
I understand that you can increase single-broker throughput, but one wonders what use case requires that? That'd be warranted in the case of single-partition topics which are necessary to preserve strict ordering. If one has ability to create enough partitions to mitigate hot spots, I'm not sure I see the need.

My org has gone a different direction. We're using spinning rust in GCP and deploying on kubernetes to make scaling out easy. Standard disk provides surprisingly good performance (relative to AWS) and we can easily ingest 10gbps with 20-30 brokers.
Isn't it pretty much proven that IQ is mostly determined by genetics, and that races like the Ashkenazi Jews are extremely above average compared to the rest of the world?

Tell me - what is racist about this scientific fact: Black people are stronger and run faster (indubitably due to slavery / selective breeding.) Jews are smarter (most nobel prizes.)

Races are different, sure. To say that smarter or stronger means superior, is racist. But before that, understanding of differences... that's just science.

Since strength and smartness are both held by society as virtues, it's easy to look like a racist if you simply state science.
Didn't you have to trade a hermit for the taper? I loved UU, but I was so young I could barely read. It is one of the most defining games of my life, for sure.
Agree. I'd say this question shouldn't be the one to weigh the decision.

Safer assumption: regardless of number of shares/options given or class of these - assume the value of these are $0 (unless these are RSU grants of publicly traded company).
The time to ditch GA was a long time ago, but over the years there wasn't even a single decent competitor that suits me.

I stumble upon Reinvigorate.net, it has potential, but it was acquired by Adobe if I remember correctly.

There was Gaug.es, it got acquired by Github, then it sat there and no more active development.

There was Gosquared, I cant remember why it didn't fit ( Needs to look again )

There was Clicky, one of the cheapest around, and does all tracking metrics you will need. Except the UI... doesn't really make you want to use it.

The two shown in the article, Simple and Fathom, were lacking way too many information. Browser, Resolution, Devices, Location etc.

The best thing that came out in the last few years were GoAccess. Self Hosted log analyser, except not everyone wants the hassle of setting it up.

The closest thing to something I want would be Ghostboard, unfortunately it only works for Ghost.

There are different parking problems. For example, today we can have a long line of taxis waiting for people to arrive at an airport.

I suspect these are more easily solvable since there is more flexibility about parking spots (the cars don't need to be within walking distance and only a few need to be close by). But there will still be idle cars that need to be put somewhere during off-peak times.

The main problem with central planners (and I believe most transportation planner would classify as one) is that they believe they must know the answer to everything from a centralized standing point.

Indeed cruising for a little bit while the driver does a quick errant might be better than parking when it's pricey. We do that all times when there is more than a driver in the car.

However, it feels arrogant to me to decide that when self-driving is a thing the cars will just clog the roads cruising while the drivers aren't there.

This ignores a bunch of things. Here is an unexhaustive list:
a. The risk of collisions is greater driving than parked.
b. Autonomous ride-sharing services would probably be a thing in this scenario (be it running some errands while the owner is busy or just deployed full-time like this).
c. There might cheaper denser far away garages that the vehicle could just immediately head to thanks to availability awareness.
d. It is very unlikely that the auto sector would program vehicles to clog traffic like this on purpose (though someone hacking their car to keep running nearby might happen).
e. Parking in San Francisco is very expensive. However, San Francisco is not the only city in the world and cities are vasty different from one another. Usually, for example, they are not islands and vehicles could drive, say, 10min to a parking lot on the nearest city (maybe giving a ride to someone else in the way).

I'm not saying that we should not consider doom scenarios, but reality has shown it most central planners fear too many things that don't happen often. We all use the Internet today, and it is relatively easy to fire a few threatening messages to people around the power to terrorize them (and get away with it). However, it just barely happens if you count in statistics.
It helps put in perspective on just how many addicts there are.

Using a number like 25000 is difficult to understand in your head.

4 years is a lot of time!

You probably see or are aware of high school age individuals throughout your day-to-day.

Now imagine for every 1 high school age young-adult, your city also has 1.5 injection drug addicts.

I think that puts things in perspective pretty well.
Facebook also matches people by who searches for whom. If one of his friends searched for him under the new name, then it can make the connection that way.

You sound like the Church from days of old. “Instead of giving those monks time to study astronomy or history, can we please task them on something less bullshit like memorizing hymns?”

I’m an atheist software dev, but my dad went to divinity school and it’s basically a combination of logic/philosophy, ethics, history, and psychology, wrapped in metaphor. I wish all pastors had to be so well informed before they were allowed in front of a brainwashed congregation. It would be a net positive for society. So they pay for it with personal debt; I don’t see the problem.

Yeah, for all she knows, he may very well have been a spy for the Kim regime, or there might be a hidden microphone present or something, and she and her whole family could end up sent to gulags for answering him.

I'm honestly struck by the sheer awfulness of Deslisle's tactics here. He put a woman and three generations of her entire family at risk just for his own personal greed.
They do that for example, by disolving a claim with intelectual dishonesty, expecting effort of proof for a group that shows - beside cheap words - near zero effort to back away from bad actors and bad principles/traditions.

Like if I where to claim that not all facism is racistic, because facism was historically a very heterogenous blob of people with absolutly zero evidence to back up that they all where as racistic as the nazis. Then i would be wrong.

To some ideologies, there is no right to repair, because the basic concept subverts human rights and democracy.
That would be because regulatory capture exists. When you can write the rules because you already have the money, corruption is the norm. See the US government as an example where it's legal for government officials to commit insider trading, where they have revolving doors to lobbying, and where ethics is just the name of a committee.
There is no probability of impending crash for which it is moral to give up trying to not crash and favor choosing who to kill. Probability is never 1.
>If a developer is career driven (and many if not most are) they have to work on "high impact" things to get a good performance review. Since Google tries to be very objective, you have to measure your impact with data and sadly 0.1% of users is not really considered impactful. Unfortunately good will earned by customers is hard to measure.

I find this very appropriate to modern times and employment. 'Tis A more modern update to William Gaddis's themes in J.R.
> Answering "no" should mean you store it locally, not that you don't store it at all. If you tell Google not to save your search history on their servers, they just disable it completely, when they could just save it locally.

This is nowhere near a product problem. The setting is per-account, so it's not like it'd be disabled on one device and enabled on another, so they'd get some weird UX, they just like crippling their app to force you to give them data.

I work for Google, opinions are my own. I could go on and on about this so apologies for the long post.

Obviously I am biased, but I think you're being a little too cynical.

People's habits largely depend on the incentives given to them. There is no incentive for the Maps team to take in more data, if anything there are incentives to have less data because they'd have to go through less security and privacy reviews.

What they DO have an incentive to do is to get more users, since that largely determines how much funding your team gets. Having users share location data, admittedly at the expense of privacy, provides a superior experience.

Each team has limited funding/headcount, so obviously they would use their resources as much as possible to try and get more users. Supporting the use case you described, which is not used by the vast majority of users does not align with the incentives given to them.

Recently, Google updated its values (I can't find it externally but I hope you'll believe me). One of these values is "Respect the User". I personally think that your use case would fall under this umbrella. Ignoring whether the specific feature is the best use of engineering time even for this value, the reality is that values mean nothing without incentives.

And there aren't incentives. You don't get a great performance rating for following the values, you get one for impacting some large percentage of users or improving the performance or conversion rates.

Even if you had a team of monks, completely driven by their morals and not career-driven whatsoever, this would not be sufficient because if they didn't hit performance goals then the team would just get defunded, unless the person above them was also the same, and the person above them, and so on.

Java TLS implementation is 99.9% implemented in Java itself (look at JSSE), openssl was ditched a long, long time ago.

Not that I would necessarily expect the throughput to be significantly different than the native version considering the good performance of JITted Java, but was just commenting on your assumption.
Not only that, but it isn't clear how many kids are in private schools, or even what the demographics are of both groups.

> Not really, the rise usually happens after years, or even decades, of paying dues and hard work.

Sure, but it happens because of your public image, always with a "big break" or a "breakthrough".

> At least most don't.

Actually, most do. There is almost always the one big break, where you are launched into the public's view. It is a step function.

Pick a number of artists, and look up their career, for most of them you'll easily find their "big break".

> A person can be fired from their non public job for saying something wrong on social media, without having ripped anything

Sure, but that's a different topic. I'm focusing on the public-figure part of it.

> Public figure means their job is to make movies for public consumption, not that they have to suffer any BS paparazzi. There's no inherent tie between one and the other.

Oh, there is, and plenty of it, the relationship between the "fame industry" (magazines, publications, etc.) and the public figures is a symbiotic one.

And the more you rely on the fame industry to fuel your growth, the more you're exposed to its risks. It is a deal with the devil.

There are, however, public figures who simply avoid the fame industry. They are harder to find, and have a harder time succeeding, but they are there (Daniel Day-Lewis, for example).
On the other hand, I've seen both Uber and Lyft drivers blocking entire active lanes of traffic on busy streets to pick people up. Would that we had traffic-increase numbers for that.
Interesting. I mean, it works, I don't read those posts at all...
For some use cases, it absolutely does. I can't remember the exact use case, but a friend of mine is adopting kafka with an end-to-end latency goal of 100ms. Absolutely requires SSDs and for the producers and consumers to be colocated, but is otherwise not that difficult to achieve.
The UK really does seem to be eager to copy "1984".
This end result is due to product managers/devs looking at conversion rates and optimizing for whatever their metric of success is

Just wait until the product managers and devs are taken out of the loop and A/B testing becomes automated A/B...X/Y/Z testing through AI. Web interfaces will start to look like those crazy AI-generated YouTube videos. Anything to feed the shareholders.
You could try A/B testing the demand for 2 different products / websites with Facebook ads.

You'll need:

- A small amount of money for the ad campaign itself (e.g. $50-$100)

- A compelling image (buy a stock photo, or get a graphic designer to whip something up)

- Some compelling copy (one liner for your pitch)

- Some time spent tuning the ad targeting to focus on your target market (or your best guess of who those people are)

I know Facebook isn't exactly popular on HN right now, but I suggest them because their ad targeting is probably the most precise at the moment.
