Just because the government finds your DNA at the crime scene doesn't mean they know it's yours. They have to match it against some sort of database that connects the DNA to your identity.
One wonders why this was downvoted.
Remember, if they have probable cause to perform a search then they won’t ask you. If they ask you it’s because their alternative is to go away.
At this point I'm convinced they're deliberately making their captcha's impossible, to annoy me for taking anti-tracking measures.
As far as I can tell, those are all progressive left oriented, what is the situation with conservative media in this sphere, are they also suffering financially ?
Their music app is actually great, because it automatically shows lyrics for songs while they're playing. You get 2M songs with Amazon Prime, but the full library costs the same as Spotify/Google Play/Apple Music/Tidal/Pandora/etc. You can also scroll through the lyrics, and click the lyrics to seek directly to that part of the song.
It's a shit show that's sure.

I think our support that we get is probably quite different than the support Apple gives to the developers of Google and Facebook, who make most of the top 10 apps downloaded from the App Store.
"must not differ at compile time"

not so, static declaration are local for the compilation unit so you may have as many different foo's as files you have in your project.
Perhaps, but now the standard shipping container slips a little bit, and gauges a scratch into my seats and sidewall on the first of 4 deliveries. I notice two days later when I'm next using the back. Who pays for the cost of re-upholstering my seats, and for my car-sharing costs during the repair?
I don't think that plan follows awfully well, why on earth would you pay money for services for the sole intent to game their database into inefficiency? A spotted chance of that even working, at best you've given them money for nothing back. No, it's best to just spread the word amongst your friends, and avoid all this muck.
If they’re asking for consent to perform a search then they are already using their discretionary power in an attempt to make your life miserable. Giving your consent isn’t going to help.
Police officers can steal from you legally though. It's called civil asset forfeiture. Why wouldn't they if it's legal?

It's a terrible Makefile
my instinct tells me arguing this is pointless, because its vague enough that whatever the mods like they can keep and what they don't like can disappear... But just as an example i will break down your last post;

>It's not the case that "snark" could apply to most HN comments.

Breaks the Please don't post shallow dismissals rule.

>That's why it's a good rule for HN.

Breaks the Don't be snarky rule.

>"Cute" is a term of affection, but it's an internet snark trope

The use of "Air quotes" is the first snark trope on google. same rule you broke twice.

Now I'm not calling for you to be banned, just pointing out that you attacked a borderline case and did it with a post that borderline broke the same vague rules.
It almost reads as if the person to whom you reply wants their own personal biases reinforced.

Hm.
And it is not something i carry with me most often.
I've used a 2012 MacBook Air 11,6" till 2018 for 3D development among other tasks. It's not a toy only usable for consumption. It's simply a good compromise when you care about mobility.
How on earth was this an "algorithm glitch" or anything close to "black box"? It's how they calculated pay, by setting a minimum hourly rate and subtracting any tips from that before paying out themselves.

This reporter is far too trusting.

> Instacart still hasn’t explained exactly what went wrong in calculating Arrigo’s 80-cent fee. But it shows the risks inherent in relying entirely on the “black box” of algorithms that, regardless how clever they are, can sometimes produce baffling results.
I wonder what kind of useful things the vehicles can come up with. Even when you don't consider a scenario where they become sort of sentient, if there was a method to make them offers and let them decide which ones to take.. might lead to interesting results.
Show HN: Easy way to onboard to AWS
AWS, Facebook and amazon are going to get absolutely crushed if there’s a recession that triggers a tech industry pullback. All the VC funding that goes to these hot tech companies goes to Facebook and google for ads and AWS for server space.

In addition, kubernetes is going to start squeezing aws’s profit margins, particularly ec2 as people move to commodity k8s hosting.
What about compiling existing OpenType fonts to state machines in combination with the shaping rules? That's something we're thinking about for our Rust implementation :)
Now you're heading home. There are 4 people in the car. Who gets dropped off first? My carpool partner lives less than a mile from me. It still takes almost 10 minutes to divert and drop her off. If you're the last drop off, you lose 60 minutes a day to these drop-offs and pickups.
I am putting together my architecture suggestions to guide people how to use AWS, does this look useful to you?
I know what Friedman thinks of tariffs in general, but I like to think that he'd be at least somewhat understanding of the scenario we are currently in, where the endgame is to have lower tariffs on both sides.

Certainly starting new stuff is important, but I think it's worth pointing out that focusing your efforts is one of the hardest things to do. One could argue that it was more important for Microsoft to become competitive in things like Azure, than it was to start new things. It's kind of like how successfully retreating is, militarily, more difficult than successfully attacking, because you're already in a bad situation.

But, pretty soon, it will be time for Microsoft to prove they can start new stuff again, you're correct on that.
A bit hyperbolic, but not completely inconceivable: Long lost twins separated at birth, one twin murders somebody, the other twin gets his DNA tested, FBI says "we found him", guy goes to jail for crime he never committed. Oops

One thing I learned the hard way a couple of years ago - when the company starts cutting back, you're better off being in the first couple of rounds of layoffs than being a "nonexpendable" who they hang on to until the bitter end. I was at a struggling startup that went through round after round of layoffs, offering generous severance packages in each round, until there were only like 10 of us left. Then one day they completely ran out of money and I showed up and the doors were locked and there was a note informing us that we were unemployed effective immediately and we would be paid out the remainder of the week.
It's fun to just browse your location history. You can much more easily recall vacations, or other events you might have forgotten otherwise.
Why are you using a McMansion and a boat dock as part of the canonical benchmark lifestyle? What if you want to live in a tiny apartment and direct your money towards travel, cars, hobby gear, or index fund shares so you can retire at 35 instead? All these things cost the same whether you live in the Bay Area or rural Kansas, so you’re better off maximizing absolute income even it means living somewhere with expensive real estate.
There's a solution for #2, and it's even better than having the car park itself in a traditional parking structure, which has a lot of unused wasted space dedicated to things other than the individual parking space the car occupies (the paths to the parking spaces, stairs, elevators, wider parking spaces so people can get in/out of the car, etc. I saw in Japan, China, Germany (and other places) they have circular parking structures that you just drive your car onto a platform, get out and pay. The automated, robotic system, lifts the car up to whatever level there is an open parking space, and just puts the car in the space. When you need it, it retrieves it and away you go. No stairs to climb, no elevators, no paths for cars to drive on. Very compact and efficient. I imagine it cuts down on quite a bit of theft, breakins, sexual assaults and security equipment (cameras, staff) as you really just need to make sure the entrance is secure. Even better, you can put them all underground. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXWrpE1Khkk
> Yeah I think we're in agreement, except that Ninja is not a replacement for Make.

I would definitely disagree with this. Make's higher-level logic/graph description features are only incidental, as Ninja proved, you can remove those features and end up with a tool that is equally valuable, more or less. To abuse an analogy, if I'm shopping for notebooks, I don't need to buy a notebook and pen shrink-wrapped together. I already have plenty of pens.

You're right that Bazel isn't good for open-source projects with diverse dependencies, but I think this is a problem that can be solved by developing some more infrastructure for that and writing the appropriate Starlark code (to be called from your your WORKSPACE file and create the appropriate repositories somehow). That code just isn't around yet.
:) Idea here is all creative folks who also code.. hackers-and-painters as Paul Graham puts it

Fallout from Apple's Intelligent Tracking Prevention Is Severe
Hi, I'm the original poster on Reddit.

It's a great theory -- and I can see how this could easily happen to someone - but it was not the case in this scenario. In fact, doing so would completely defeat what I was trying to achieve. The email address I used for Facebook was unique, not used for anything else, and not shared with anyone else. It was completely isolated.
I have an iPhone over an Android because Apple’s business model meets that criteria and nothing about the Android ecosystem does.

I have Roku TVs but they are set to automatically go to the HDMI input with my AppleTV. So I don’t have to use a remote that has hard coded buttons that go to the highest bidder and where half the home screen is an advertiser.

I buy business Windows PCs or laptops from the Microsoft store because they don’t look like a NASCAR car with all of the stickers and trialware.

I pay for ad free streaming services.

It’s not the “internet” that’s the problem. Websites have limited tracking ability if you use an adblocker. It’s your devices vendor that you have to worry about.
Plenty of enterprise grade hardware (I'm looking at Cisco) provide telnet access over a serial interface - which is dead handy when the thing is running but stops responding to SSH connections.
Having separate "people leaders" and "technical leaders" is a cop out and poor org design. All you are doing is creating opportunities for conflict. Finding great technical people with an aptitude for leadership is hard, and the market for that kind of talent is fierce, but it is worth it. Settling for less is settling for having a mediocre engineering team.
“Percentage margins are not one of the things we are seeking to optimize. It’s the absolute dollar free cash flow per share that you want to maximize, and if you can do that by lowering margins, we would do that. So if you could take the free cash flow, that’s something that investors can spend. Investors can’t spend percentage margins.” “What matters always is dollar margins: the actual dollar amount. Companies are valued not on their percentage margins, but on how many dollars they actually make, and a multiple of that.” “When forced to choose between optimizing the appearance of our GAAP accounting and maximizing the present value of future cash flows, we’ll take the cash flows.” Jeff Bezos is very focused on this “absolute dollar free cash flow metric.”

People really need to get off of the "income analysis" trope with Amazon. It's not how they operate their business, so why do people (analysts and media mainly) analyze it any other way?
Maybe. The more relevant question here would be: would you pay some company to get yourself fingerprinted and have them put your prints in a big database for police to use when solving crimes?
On the plus side I've become 400% better at identifying whether or not objects are traffic lights and/or fire hydrants.

Its preferred because it is common to not report cash tips on taxes. If I could make a percentage of my wage tax free I would prefer it as well.
And never expected it to be so successful, and realized that he couldn't fix some of its problems because people were already relying on it.
Sites are styled by default browser stylings. When font changes are inherited from user's settings however, it basically just breaks everything.

For accessibility reasons, using the zoom feature is much more stable than increasing the default font size.
Well on your basis we could open an infinite number of variations.

Tap on the side, whilst facing North, using a finger with red-nail-polish, on the left hand of a woman born under the sign of The Dragon.

My point is that the specificity of the OP is down to Snopes, and I can't change that.
They don't even provide these details. Maybe the side-tapper was born in the year of the pig, and that matters.
My issue is mainly that they wish to be perceived as the source of all truth - and seemingly have NO interest in being corrected.
Snopes never publishes any statement limiting their results, asking for further input, etc etc. Their 'thing' is just publishing absolutes.
Nobody else does this.
I figured that's why the ads encourage people to have their grandparents tested. One grandparent, and you've got a whole family group.
Or the developers are just stupid. Now they simply can add a simple if-statement.

if driver_pay < 3:
driver_pay == 3

No need to bother with unit tests on that one.

[Edit:] LOL as seen below. That's probably how they coded it.
This might be an unpopular opinion here, but I would change how you pitch/market yourself.

First, if a candidate talks about programming languages a lot (especially if they're talking about Lisp and Haskell), that can be a sign that they're going to be unhappy working within the confines my team's Java/C++/whatever codebase, and that they're going to complain a lot and try to rewrite things in other languages. That's not a dealbreaker, but it's not a great first impression.

Second, bragging about how many languages you know also codes as "junior engineer" or "recent graduate", even though the rest of your post makes it sound like that's probably not the case. Most teams are looking for someone who has demonstrated that they are really productive in at least one language, so focus your sales pitch on that. Again, this is just a first impression issue.

Finally, I probably wouldn't claim myself as "expert" on anything, unless I was a top 10 committer to the project or I was specifically trying to bill myself as a consultant on that specific technology. Seeing "expert" sets off people's BS alarm bells, and they'll evaluate everything else you say with a more skeptical eye. It can also get you in trouble in interviews. Point #7 on this blog post explains it better than I could: https://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2007/09/ten-tips-for-slight...

Anyway, please read this as constructive advice rather than someone on the internet trying to tear you down. I'll echo what the other comments have said - practice coding interviews, apply to the big tech companies that have a presence in your area, and don't get discouraged if you don't get an offer right away. The big companies are full of people who had to interview 2-3 times to get an offer.
Only if they somehow create a barrier to entry that doesn't exist today.

It's not impossible, but if they go into corrupt regulation (how else could they do it?) there is no reason they can't get the same without the throwing a lot of money away first. So, again, they won't.
Yes, I suspect that's precisely the impetus.
Finished now! I ended up switching my SASS variables over to CSS4 variables so I could override them with media queries.

Now to wait for better browser support.
For Amazon, the cloud is the little engine that could. Amazon Web Services comprised just 11% of the company's overall sales in 2018, but delivered more operating income than all other business units combined.

I think that's the point the article is trying to make (first sentence of the article)
Probably and who gives a shit?

This is my dream job! Just can’t seem to find any clients.
I don't know if you just made that phrase up, but it's great.
I think they mean black box to the person paying and the one being paid not to Instacart.

Though this is kind of frustrating. Because 99%+ Instacart themselves knew what the formula is. I give a 1% change they legitimately did the math wrong and somehow got it through QA and code review into production and a 99% chance they are being intentionally deceptive by calling it an "algorithm glitch".
That migrates the issue from business ethics and consumer rights to that of legality.
Hinge Health | San Francisco, CA | Onsite | Full-Time | Design, Software Engineering, Engineering Ops (DevOps)

Hinge Health is breaking new ground by re-defining what best practice means for musculoskeletal (MSK) health. We have incredible traction in the market, a clear hockey-stick growth curve, and a profound mission that (really!) changes lives on a daily basis.

With our current trajectory we're basically hiring across the board and currently building out our foundations of senior talent. (New grads are not good a fit for us just yet, but we plan to get there soon.)

This is not just a call for passionate software engineers, but also designers who understand that design goes far beyond just "visual design" or "UI". If you get both design and code we definitely will want to talk!

Technologies we use at Hinge include: Rails, React, React Native, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, Docker, ElasticSearch, InfluxDB, and currently evaluating use-cases for Elixir.

Our design tools include: AfterEffects, Sketch, Abstract, and Invision.

Send me an email if you want to start a career in next-gen healthcare: julian at hingehealth dot com
Actually you should have tested your code, because this does a no-op equality test against 3 (==), rather than your intention to set driver_pay to 3 (=)
It's too easy to steal market share with software. There are no moats. Kubernetes is the first of many equalisers, crossplane.io is next. There's no monopoly effect.
Are they pulling back ad spend or moving it to higher performing platforms like Facebook feed? I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of the reasons papers have been so anti-fb recently.
With enough corruption, they might also "find" it on the crime scene.
> There may be no intention of manipulation

If random airmchair commentators can see the results as manipulative I guarantee that the program managers and devs can see it too.
There's a JIRA issue that's been open for three years for kafka to support openssl with JNI:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2561

Not sure it's going to get done at this point. I've only recently started using kafka and found the TLS issues to be somewhat surprising. AES-NI has been around for how long now?

I speculate that this is because it's come out of the hadoop community and they haven't really had much luck implementing security features.
