Also, watch out for bullshit artists using jargon. Most jargon isn't B.S., but a lot of B.S. manages to hide behind jargon. You'll begin to notice this if you immerse yourself in academic writing. Being widely cited and having lots of collaborators is no guarantee that you actually have something useful to say.

Sounds sort of like the New Deal "Civilian Conservation Corps" that built up many of the national park facilities we now enjoy in the USA.
In what context was this done/could you provide more details (without giving away any information that you don't care to share)? Sounds like something I would enjoy doing as well!
Even had Germany somehow kept the knowledge, it had, at best, a very brief period of time between the beginning of the war and the period when its industrial capacity was being seriously strained, if not bombed almost continuously, to work on the weapon. The Nazi nuclear bomb project was also underfunded for political reasons, not to mention the fact it would have been very difficult to justify working on a blue-sky wonder-weapon instead of building more tanks and planes and rifles for the three-front war practically at their doorstep.

You can try to posit a Nazi regime without such constraints, but a Nazi regime which isn't lead by Hitler is fundamentally different from the regime we're talking about. A well-run Nazi Germany, one which didn't pick unwinnable fights, is a Nazi Germany contrary to Hitler's vision.
I have pondered why its bottom only for [more] and [search] for some time. Because of how I use the site I flit back and forth in the list/page view. To me, being at the "top" doesn't mean I am here for the first time, and so I'd want more/search both top and bottom because I think the steerage would be useful to me to avoid a page-down moment to use them.

I'd actually prefer keyboard accellerators and other things but I think I then get to this other place: the more HN did markup changes, the more likely it is that it would die, turning slowly into eye-candy rather than content.

I'd rather they left the UI alone than it died.
> I need to meet the team I'll be working with before accepting an offer. It's the only way to know if they're competent, can communicate, and are not assholes.

This is exactly how Facebook's onboarding process works (at least in engineering). You spend 3-4 weeks in "bootcamp" classes (React 101, IOS 101, etc.). After that, you spend another 3-4 weeks auditioning teams -- you sit with teams that have open headcount for a week, attend their meetings, and work with a mentor on a coding project. Once you decide which team is the best fit, you "graduate" bootcamp and join them.

It's not perfect -- if there's no open headcount on your dream team, you'll have to pick another, but it's the best onboarding process I've seen from an employee standpoint.

Yes it probably will end up net benefit for NYC but in any deal you have to ask did we overpay? Google bought 111 8th avenue, one of the biggest buildings in area in NYC, and also the premier datacenter location for 1.8 billion and added a lot of employees. Tax break: 0. Facebook and other large tech companies have also been expanding their staff in NYC for no tax break. NIMBYs aside in the local area I am for Amazon coming to NYC along with any other company. NYC is in effect cutting a check to them because now they are losing revenue, and starting a precedent that was previously not needed to get big companies here. The market conditions of NYC have attracted business just fine.
You’re missing the point. Most people intuitively define consciousness to include not just self image, but the processing related to it—having wants and desires, and the self-conscious reasoning about them. Having self image is only the first, small step.
Those are the last sections of society that usually adopt new tech though.
> In contrast to these cool glass and granite residences, 42-44 Bond is a tawny brick loft building. Its arched windows represent a classic feature of the late 19th century Renaissance Revival style. Some would say it could use an update.

We don't know which is why it's good we start experimenting with it IMO.
There isn't any question at all that Facebook is forced upon you. Many things are only available on Facebook - even some official government stuff and lots of businesses use it for things workers cannot do without (working hours shared on Facebook etc.). Clearly it should not be allowed to harvest data without consent from people forced to use its platform.

That Facebook even mentions YouTube as a direct competitor is laughable and shows they have no case for appeal. They might as well had said Netflix or the library!
Perhaps reconsider.

"If it paid well" externalizes the ills it inflicts on other people. And they matter, too.
#2FA MFA account protection in relation to compromised account dBases
It sounds like a fun challenge.

It's just ads. If we're talking about some ad for a coffee maker, whatever.

Now their whole selling data to unscrupulous folks, taking money from parents via their kids, selling fake news that makes people hate other people (now that gets into the ad space...) ....

That's where I'd want to nope out.
Maybe we just do not need that many people to exist in the first place
Me. I would say that this is an entirely novel state of affairs, without precedent in American history. As others have pointed out to me in this thread, "American history" contains lots of pretty salacious and wild stories of governmental abuse of authority.

Yet all the jaded Hacker News historians around here haven't really pointed out any actual incidents in history that approach this story. "You should read about Hoover" or "Abraham Lincoln did some bad shit during the Civil War" doesn't really approach the level of "President conspiring with two separate foreign adversaries/frenemies to undermine American elections, enrich himself and blackmail his enemies" to say nothing of all the juicy details we don't yet know.

What’s kind of weird about this move by National Enquirer is that it seems so poorly thought out. Bezos’ “affair” was known to his wife and they parted amicably; sending genital photos is probably the least embarrassing thing you could catch a billionaire doing, and in fact it kind of humanizes him.

In the age of privacy conversations, I can’t see how this is supposed to end up positive for the paper. They oversold it here and seem to have opened themselves up to some tough questions in the process.
honestly, i prefer not drinking any coffee if i can only afford mcdonalds coffee.
Think Un-German, as an English word.
Time to stop using it, I guess. Their ads blast my head off with double the volume and make the whole thing unusable.

~$120/year to remove ads is a lot of money just so I can listen to the odd pop song someone mentions that isn't on YouTube. I don't listen to much big label music. "Big label music in one place" is basically Spotify's value proposition. $120 buys a lot on Bandcamp.
we are already seeing presidential candidates trying to redefine "Medicare for All" to the point that it doesn't mean much at all.

What are you referring to?
What about option 4 to not provide a "free" service at all?
Wait! You're telling me that for the price of two coffees a month, I can have unlimited streaming on the go!?

How about if marketers want me looking at their ads, they can stop pouring millions of dollars into research about how to spy on me through those ads against my will.
Don't worry they are getting paid 80 cents an hour.
love the (intentional?) irony that the first 20 something paragraphs say absolutely nothing besides "bezos like longform narrative, and he wrote it in a very short email once".
Not really. We have scraped many sites successfully that try this randomisation logic. There is always a pattern, which often can be determined via heuristics. It does make things trickier, but not impossible or especially difficult.
> They know that no one will read it before-hand, so they make time in the schedule.

That's an attitude of acceptance (is that the right word?) that I find inspiring.

I've felt that meetings would be more productive if the person presenting had to prepare some written material, and we all had to read it ahead of time. That way we have some shared base level of knowledge and the discussion can be done at a higher level.

Inevitably, some people don't read the doc. Some of them are honest and the presenter is nice and catches them up quickly. (If all of this information can be transferred in 1 minute, then why did I get a 5 page doc?). Or worse, people pretend they read it and didn't.

You could try to build some culture around "making it a requirement" (shaming them if they don't?) but, more often than not, the person who didn't read the materials is the biggest boss in the room, and enforcing requirements up a corporate org chart is a fool's errand.

So, someone at Amazon was like "fuck it", realizing that half the point of a meeting is just forcing people to work on something by putting them in a room together. And rather than complaining that that's kinda dumb (which it is) they just decided to increase the quality of work that happens in those meetings by setting aside 10 minute for reading.
How many (mostly) empty places do you know of in Sunnyvale or Palo Alto? I know of many in NYC, e.g. this dentist from out of state who has an apartment in the UES. The markets are different at the middle and high end. (By the way, I do remember the days when Bay Area housing was quite cheaper than NYC...)

This kind of "trickle down" in NYC real estate exists, sure, but it doesn't spread very far. You could make more difference for "regular" folks if e.g. you added mixed-income restrictions on the new property, but by default the market doesn't work that way.
Yes, I know but not much I can do about it, thanks
You’ll make a good dictator one day.
This feels like the get-out clause from heck. He didn't care that his line of argument was destructive, and he had a lawyer-thin "but I didn't mean it" escape hatch. He also had a pulpit, mass-market reach. He turned it into a bit of a bully-pulpit.

But the effect of state of fear was small I think. Reality asserted itself: there was no grant conspiracy, we don't use vibra-belts from failed west coast gyms to try and shake a quake out of PNG islands, the cannibals retreated into the hills and eat each other when dead, not alive, carbon fibre spools are used to short out Iraqi power stations, not to make lightning target campers...
Oh I didn’t get that on the first read through.
> In my experience as a Czech, the guilt over WWII and the holocaust is the recurrent unifying theme for Germans.

This is 100% true, and as the number of people who experienced WWII and the holocaust is rapidly declining, the German political elite is on a desperate search for another national identity. I fear that if they are not successful, we will see strong separatist movements in some areas of Germany during the next 10-30 years.

> Yes, squeezed between Poland and Belgium? Or perhaps Czech Republic and the Netherlands? Austria and Denmark? All these scary countries around!

I meant that Germany has almost no natural borders, except the Alps, the Rhine and a tiny amount of coast. I can assure you that this is extremely present in the German mindset, and has been for centuries. It may explain the general "nervousness" of Germans, and is also one of the reasons the refugee crisis had such a significant impact on German politics. It is true that we are surrounded by friends, but the part you find laughable - the small military power of most of our neighboring nations, with the exception of France - is at the same time the main reason Germany has to be nervous. If somebody wanted to invade us, they would just walk over the Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic, or Switzerland. I am 31. When I was 2, half of Germany was still de facto occupied by Russia.
> The hard thing for platforms is that no one trusts the platform to not lie about delivery metrics. Thus the need for advertisers to run code to verify it ran and run alternative networks.

None of that is my problem as a user though. I'm not obligated to expose myself to malware so that Coca-Cola can accurately track how many people saw their ad.
The way the sham works is to give the companies tax breaks and regulatory easements and then to shunt the costs onto the employees. The employees bear the NYS taxes and the companies connected enough to get exceptions reap the competitive benefits.

Maybe. Personally, I loathe work environments where you're required to signal various forms of the varies "virtues" that the majority holds as important.

I do my job, well. No one at work can tell what my politics and various tribes are, and there's no reason for them to know. Likewise, I don't care about anyone else's particulars either. That's what professionalism is.
I'm no artist but I prefer a pen over a mouse for drawing / writing. Pressure sensitivity is great but I'd still take a pen without over a mouse for drawing and I suspect most artists would agree. Yes you want pressure sensitivity but no that's not the only reason to prefer a pen.

Familiarity may be a factor in using pens but it's a general human trait that a precision grip https://psychologydictionary.org/precision-grip/ works better for certain types of fine detail tasks. It's not just a matter of familiarity with non digital pens.

Right, but most folks have an adblocker just on all the time. So, the paid users shouldn't get penalized in any way if it happens to be on while browsing Spotify. I'd wager this is the case, but the article doesn't specify.
Correction: The labels are horrible for artists, Spotify payouts are just a symptom of the way labels rip every penny out of the artist.

"...and why only the data collection practices? "

Doesn't it make sense to look at only the specific bits that are causing harm, rather than stepping in to completely rewrite a contract. Governments on both sides of the Atlantic rule certain contract terms illegal (eg no competes), the presence of those terms doesn't invalidate the whole contract generally though.
25$ at Walmart. I don’t get how people disregard this all the time. I don’t know if any other companies are selling affordable insulin directly to consumers but Novo IS doing just that.
Today I could easily afford that. But thinking back a few decades when I was young and didn't have much money at my disposal I would say using stuff for free isn't that bad.

Especially when piracy is so much easier than getting your account suspended for using an adblocker.

I use mobile version in a browser. Its faster and less fluff. I should have did this years ago. Facebook tries to make you use the mobile client for msg'ing, I just hit desktop view, and use the webpage, but really, I hardly ever use FB messenger anymore since they forced the requirement.

I was tempted to just use RSS feeds of groups I like, I dont like how FB reorders the feed for their purposes either.

If the tax is a fixed percentage, it still hits people with less money harder in that cost-of-living is /not/ a percentage.

If your fixed expenses (food, rent, utilities) are 80% of your monthly pay, and the tax reduces everyone's monthly pay by 5%, you're going to have to cut something (cheaper food, small luxuries, or just no longer saving money for emergencies). If you make enough that your cost-of-living is only 50% of your monthly pay, it might dip your savings a little but you'll get through it just fine.
correct. it's important to understand that 50% of the world GDP was inside the continental US at the end of the war. they were extremely correct in their predictions.
+1. At a previous employer we fed images of interest from the web into Google's OCR API to see what we could see. In addition to scene descriptions, the API will transcribe any text it detects.

With all the easy to use tools available to programmers today, it would not be terribly hard to use OCR on a screenshot to find the text of interest and derive the scraping code by searching for the OCR'd text in the markup.

If none of your extant parsers can extract the info you want from the page, send it to OCR pipeline (or, hell, Mechanical Turk) and generate a new one.

Lately, I’ve been in the mood to read recently-published business self-help books. One thing that surprised me was that three of the books had a common premise. They began by describing the habits of some of the most notable people in history (scientists, artists, business people, etc). Then, they went on to say how these habits would be necessary to maintain a job in the new globalized marketplace.

Wait, what? So, anyone who wants to have a job in the near-future must emulate the habits of some of the most impressive people in history? Wow.

I don’t know if this premise is true or just marketing hyperbole. But, if that’s what workers think is required of them, we are in for a scary future.
They were also healthier. Those who received UBI stayed healthier than the control group but the article fails to mention that.

When you consider that the group was selected from those receiving long term unemployment benefits (Finland has different types) and were by large unemployable, them staying healthier is important result.

Sci-Hub's user flow is so ridiculously friendly, that I'd often use it even when I have credentials to some obscure authorization network. This is true even for the free SSRN which started requiring logging in around the time Elsevier bought them.

Gabe Newell of Valve asserted something very similar:

> "We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem," he said. "If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable."

1,2,3,5,6&8 seems like "good" things to do in the spirit of being competitive as a country. But, the rest are mean spirited and have a lot of potential to backfire in direct and indirect ways.

I think the objection comes from perspective, more than anything:

What sounds like a Day 1 company?

- Build a second HQ where there can actually be meaningful development, like Raleigh.

- Build two satellite offices in the most cozy-up-to-establishment choices possible, NYC and DC.

Couple in the questionable deal making around choosing NYC, and it’s clear where the frustration comes from: we want to see the same strength of character leading Amazon as standing up to AMI.

The Day 2 satellites aren’t that, for a number of reasons.
