Only one variety, in what way? Obviously all ketchup will have something in common, by definition, but the difference between different brands is huge. From the disgusting sweet smooth childrens variety at mcdonalds to chunky, spicy artisan catsups.
Ever wonder why Facebook is giving everyone on earth so much free software and processing power? They seem to be making money, how do they do it?

[10 minutes of deep thought]

Ok, we get it. If someone offers you something of value for free, politely say "no thanks" and run the other way.

Edit: If a for-profit company offers you something of value at no cost, you or someone else will end up paying for it later. Advertisers pay Facebook for your personal data, and you suffer because your privacy has been violated.
Yup. Next story that's going to come out is how Google is "doing the same thing" via Google Analytics etc.
And we know from past experience that the end result of this is greatly reduced facilities available for minorities.

> There needs to be an understanding that it’s as unacceptable as biological warfare

Are you under the impression that the major powers don't have biological warfare capabilities?

> and that the gloves are off once they are used.

So, China uses autonomous killbots in Tibet to control an uprising. The US "takes its gloves off", and...sends a strongly worded letter? Sends the world economy into a freefall?

Further, China and Russia could do some limited testing, and then stockpile millions of killbots/killdrones. Once the gloves have already "come off", they can then rule the battlefield, since their opponent(s) won't have a similar massive force.

I think the combination of cheap and effective will be impossible for the less scrupulous countries to resist...and possibly the more scrupulous countries as well.

It is also a slippery slope - the US is already working on autonomous anti-ship cruise missiles that search an area and look for the correct ship (think "Chinese aircraft carrier"). That implicitly means the missile will autonomously "decide" which ship containing hundreds or thousands of sailors gets hit. Full autonomy will also be a requirement for any effective UCAS capability.

I expect that regardless of what treaty is signed, the various powers will make sure there are loopholes permitting what they wish to do - or they will simply ignore the treaty. A concrete example of such behavior is Russia's long-term violations of the INF Treaty.
Nah man, a dictatorship is capable of removing an unpopular leader from office more efficiently than any other form of government. Whether it's likely to or not is a different question!
Kinda surprised someone hasn't built that already on top of the existing API.
Stablecoins rely on the trust of the company to float the value of the USD or whatever currency with the coin that is generated. USDT is owned and operated by a single, foreign company that hasn't had an audit yet and has no insurance protections what-so-ever. I'm not going to trust them with my money or business.

This about the worst of all cases: they pretend to be a blockchain, but they're really just a standard old bank operating without any regulatory behavior what-so-ever.

That's true, and I'm not sure what rights Americans have in this case, it's hard to tell. Could claim defamation possibly, or impersonation?
Right. In particular, using least squares is justified by the assumption that errors are normally distributed, in which case least squares yields the maximum-likelihood estimate. Because boxcox is intended to transform a random variable into one that is normally distributed, the model assumptions are actually more likely to be satisfied if you do regression on the transformed values. (Which was probably the reason boxcox was invented in the first place.)
Well he put his email in a not so easily readable format in there, so someone has to take effort and invest time to generate a correct email address from it. With this time investment getting to the email address costs money. So not for free ;)

But of course now we are definitely nitpicking on a philosophical level.

My point basically if someone says something is free, but requests your personal data in return, then that is not free.
Too much emotion and can’t push it back. How do they know they CAN’T push it back? Serious question.

That’s what people used to say about women throughout history and called the disorder “Hysteria” (just a physical problem caused by the uterus, solved by tittilation by a doctor) until they realized that it was as scientific as bloodletting.

Many people have no idea what they are capable of, in many areas — sports and cognitive taskss included — until they learn a system.

Most people will tell you no way can they remember 1000 digits in a row. But then they learn a system and it becomes second nature.

EDIT: It has been one minute and already the silent knee jerk downvotes have come. No answer just downvote.
Before you downvote or shame this comment into not having the appropriate response to autism (ignore the meta irony of “appropriate response” being the issue in the first place) consider how many kids, adults and elderly are overmedicated because the underlying system is causing “disorders”. Whether it’s almost-methamphetamines given for ADD (the “hysteria” of the 21st century) or elderly being medicated in nursing homes for complaining, perhaps people are not as powerless and dependent on medication as they are made out to be. One in four middle aged women is medicating herself with psychiatric drugs in the USA. There is a new opiod epidemic too. This is the new normal — call something a condition instead of dealing with it. An exception may be gender dysphoria, which is dealt with differently.

Instead of medicating the kids for ADHD, consider why your school system makes them sit down and shut up for 8-10 hours a day. Why does Finland magically have far less ADHD? Instead of automatically prescribing medications for depression, perhaps we should re-evaluate a system where people are lonely for years, commuting from their apartment to their work and back, with chronically elevated cortisol levels until their brain adapts.

USA is one of the most overmedicated, and chronically depressed population, exceeding countries with far less wealth. Even countries with long darkness which naturally causes depression have higher levels of happiness than USA. We have no universal healthcare and we have more gun violence and more incarcerated than any other developed country. But of course in every area there are people who say “nothing can be done, shut up, you’re not supposed to point out that other countries and systems have less of these problems. It’s just the way things are!”

> that's the post GDPR world we live in.

In America nobody cares about that. This isn't going to effect any of the major companies that matter, and is already causing companies to merely stop doing business in countries that have bad laws like this.

But also, I don't care. I will defect and fight every step of the way any of your efforts to keep out people from non-traditional backgrounds. (regardless of whatever misguided reasons you have to keeping people from non-traditional backgrounds out of the industry)

Your only options are to try to make some sort of law, which is extremely unlikely to happen in the US, or form some sort of union. And I will defect that union hard. Along with a whole lot of other people who do not want to see this industry destroyed. We will defect and sabotage any attempts to do this any way.

Fortunately for me, though, the anti barriers to entry side of the debate and anti union side of the debate is currently massively winning, and the people who are trying to throw up barriers to entry are losing.

All I have to do stop by the nearest tech bootcamp to see just how much the pro barriers to entry side of the debate has lost this war. And those barriers to entry are only continuing to be lowered.

It has never been easier to become a professional programmer. And it is only getting easier.
Thank you for the detailed feedback! We love to hear that we're doing something well, but also like to discuss if there is something that can be improved.

> It would be nice if we could sign up for the licenses completely online without needing to wait and get an agreement signed

That sounds reasonable, and it doesn't seem to be an issue only with your institution. We already have an issue for automating the application process for the educational license. [1] The proposed solution would resolve all concerns described here.

> I originally though the Education licensing would cover usage for our IT Department staff as well

The primary goal of this program is to help students catch up with the latest technology in software development as early as possible, and we think that we managed to do this with the current setup. However, we would love to discuss other options regarding this program's limitations. Please open an issue [2] - we would love to hear your suggestions.

I'm on a 2013 retina, because nothing in the meantime offered incentive to switch. I'm wondering how a switch to ARM would affect that.
Is there a public API for this?
>A centrally managed ledger without distributed calculations would be way faster.

Right which will never occur in the current system because each middleman needs to justify their place to keep their piece of the pie.

Like I said it’s a system with tons of middlemen (who don’t add value) who could be ripped out and replaced with Blockchain.

Dole was “ultimately resolved” only after complex class action litigation that costs millions of dollars and resulted in the party who took dole private having to pay an extra ~$2.50 x ~36.8M shares. It’s clear from any public company that goes private this is a serious issue...Dole is not an edge case.
> I agree that SF is a special kind of bubble, but I do think there's been an explosion of shockingly extreme right-wing thinking on the Internet in recent years... really since about 2008-2012 as near as I can tell.

I think you can attribute that seeming explosion (at least in part) to people suppressing moderate conservatives, who then have a choice between becoming enlightened classical liberals and bearing the cost of that path in social isolation, or joining the more extreme people where they've been banished to (which, for its moral hazards, is a hell of a lot more fun, and a lot less depressing).

These people are not beyond help, but if you keep suppressing them, they will become more entrenched in the underground and the fringes, and they will become as fragile and bigoted as the academic marxists and intersectionalists who inhabit the same sorts of places on the far left.

The high road takes a lot of fortitude when you are a social progressive who is seen as willing to hear and integrate good conservative arguments. Libel, vandalism, and assault are rampant against people visibly associated with conservatives, at least, they have been where I've lived (in southern Ontario).

In some sense this is very true. Michael Porter (Harvard prof, wrote Competitive Strategy), thinks that basically everyone in an advanced economy has to constantly increase their skills, but as a result, everyone produces more for less money, and the living standards go up collectively. Is this right? Maybe, maybe not.

We Think Cats Are Psychopaths
Moving from Corp to Stem
Hello internet,

I've come to you today to ask a question about changing my field.

oh...gasp You say out loud rolling your eyes at the 115th person this week to bring up the subject of burnout BUT WAIT! There is ever so slightly more!

I live/work in San Francisco. A land of technology currently dominated by Salesforce and the like. I've worked in a big corporation for many years and recently tried my luck with a smaller start-up doing...more business software.

I did not learn to code in order to climb a ladder. I have very little interest in dedicating a sizable chunk of time to the realm of scrum/sales/'THE PRODUCT!'. This is the direct I've seen a lot of tech companies go and... it drives me a bit bonkers. I don't think I'm alone in this.

With that out of the way, it occurred to me that the happiest I've been as a programmer was in university. Where the promise of using these tools for something good and meaningful was fresh in my mind.

I'm a realist, and I know the 'best' way to transition out of corp is to join up with some open source project and roll with it. That's the tentative plan. If you know one, by all means give me a sales pitch.

That said, I want to know if any of you fine folks on Hacker News know a thing or two about joining up with the sciences.

The big questions:
- What different approaches can one take in looking for programming jobs outside of pushing a product?

- Do usual networking channels still hold true?

- Can anyone speak to working in STEM related jobs? Do you have good things to say? Nasty things? Things I should know?

- Is the burnout rate the same? Are engineers genuinely happy?

Cheers!
Re 1: So why again are we wasting an entire country worth of electricity to secure some numbers? Because we haven't found a good replacement yet doesn't cut it. It's like saying why am I dumping dioxin in the rain gutters? Oh, well, I haven't figured out a better plan so back off, socialist :P

Re 2-3: Tell that to customers of Quadriga and MtGox and the countless scammed, those who paid ransom to kidnappers. Everyone who lost their keys. It's a problem, let's face some reality here.
Yeah, he just sounds like an angry "get off my lawn!" guy. Even if he has good points, he losses you because its all so rude. I don't understand why he has so much anger. He made a huge impact on the tech world, has a family/kids. I hope he made some loot of linux. He needs to learn to meditate or something. Dude, just be happy. Hardly anyone cares about the CPU anymore (I have been writing code for > 20 years, 13 of which was low level C/C++) outside of OSes and drivers. Its like 98% high level, warm and fuzzy, languages now. It's great.
Maybe "top", since it's the top posts from that date?

I think "more" is a confusing choice because you already have a "More" link at the bottom of the page that goes to the next page.
We need a startup that fixes capitalism. Err fixes capitalism for labor. Capitalism is fine as is for capitalists.
Because it's a hyperbolic rhetorical question. Security teams don't just unilaterally ban things without context, especially things that provide significant business value. It's about threat modeling and what the risk is in practice for the company and use case in question.
white collar and blue collar are awful terms. can we just accept the fact that we are all laborers... and look after our interests, together as one.
Just because a lot of people do something doesn't make it a good idea.
Yeah, I think GitLab in particular is a really interesting product that competes in a crucial space for devs. In addition, they've committed and stuck with monthly releases, with new features/improvements, so that's why it's posted so much. I love the monthly releases though.
It'd be nice if the "title" field of the link submit form would have a tiny little bit of javascript to count how many characters are in the field.
One of those books-that-would-be-a-fantastic-long-essay is "The Big Sort," it tackles this exact problem.

Modern life actually seems to be driving people into micro-cultures, rather than bringing people with different beliefs together.
Then when someone calls and they ask for the security question, the attacker just says it’s jibberish and they let them through. Choose 4 random words, not 50 random characters
>Maybe it was naive of everyone. It doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world, though, to hope that even the most different of us could talk out our difference more and resort to violence and intimidation less.

The naivete of everyone is somewhat understandable because each generation lets new technology (e.g. telegraph, airplanes, internet, etc) seduce them into thinking its capabilities will help humans understand each other.

Some examples of previous naive forecasts:

>"telegraph [...] would end international hostilities [...] the telegraph wire, the nerve of international life, transmitting knowledge of events, removing causes of misunderstanding, and promoting peace and harmony throughout the world."[1]

>"With the perfect development of the airplane, wars will be only an incident of past ages."; "The Wright Brothers Invention Should Prevent Further Wars And Insure Peace"[2]

>"the internet will help us connect with each other and let us discuss our differing viewpoints!"[3]

And no doubt that if some future 22nd-century technology of brainwave-telepathic device is invented, those future people will think that magical thought-communicator will enable peace and harmony. Why would there be any wars if 10 billion of us could just magically send thoughts with universal language translation without even speaking or writing?!? (Don't worry, humanity will figure out a way to use the device for spreading hate.)

You're still stuck on "the code is bad and that's why they don't want to touch it." I'm saying, their attitude is bad and feel maintenance is beneath them.

Every, and I mean every, development shop has some amount of tech debt. But even if the code is generally good quality, you have a subset of devs who think maintenance is below them. That's a bad attitude and people don't want to work with that.

As to the "no comments section" policies, I'm gonna be honest: I don't blame them one bit. No one owes anyone a platform, and considering how easy and cheap it is to host your own content, why should anyone be forced to broadcast someone else's opinion?

The truth of the matter is there are more trolls these days - see especially "The Card Says Moops" (https://youtu.be/xMabpBvtXr4) as to one reason why. If you say "get your own website and post there" it raises the bar just enough that trolls won't do it. I think this is a good thing.

Note that I am firmly in favor of Net Neutrality and carriers (eg ISPs, registrars, etc) banned from having tiers or otherwise hampering access. What I oppose is people crying censorship when big name sites kick out the despicables. As I pointed out above, anyone can get a website and domain name.
"Glamorous" was maybe a poor word choice by the author/editor, but his writing certainly romanticizes his behavior just as drug abuse has been romanticized elsewhere across the arts. For example, reading about a legendary musician's struggle with heroin addiction while they were writing the most profound music of their career does not evoke the same aesthetic as seeing a homeless addict shoot up on the sidewalk. One is mythology, the other reality.
Linus is absolutely correct, despite how it feels like ARM should be winning in the datacenter.

If you want to win servers, you basically need to win developers too. So in the ghost world where ARM is dominating on the server, we're all writing code on ARM desktops.

Hi, I've done Android development professionally for many years, over multiple apps. I don't know anyone who uses the x86 simulator for anything except out of curiosity to check it out every couple of years if it's still completely worthless. Android developers develop with an ARM phone attached by USB, and it's still an abysmal experience compared to iOS.
