It is true for anything that involves humans at any point.

Google, compared to everyone else, is probably best positioned to protect it.

Disclaimer: google employee, but opinion above is my own.
If you want to go to Switzerland and earn 200k, just go to Google and get promoted there. It's far the most fun workplace in Zurich.

It also helps if you're a female intern/step intern, the male-female ratio for interns is about 1:5 .
If you have the opportunity to get help from lpolovets, you should jump at the chance at any minimum. What does $10k or $25k get you in the Valley... not a lot. But if you keep expenses low and have support from great people like lpolovets, suddenly you have a lot more than when you stated.
It seems like tedious paperwork exercises would make it easier for scams like this to happen, since there’s no one person with the responsibility to say yes or no to specific purchases/invoices. If the responsibility is placed on the bureaucratic process rather than specific people, surely that’s going to make it easier for bad stuff to slip through (while also making it more challenging to get legitimate requests through).
Funny you mention echo, which prints a newline by default as well.

Pure speculation here based on your comment:

What you describe is called "being a cutout", that is a person who is a proxy for the "real" person who committed the crime. If what you say is accurate, that there was a more sophisticated person who did the crime, there is motivation on his part to plead guilty and stop any further investigation with the assurance that the other party will take care of his family while he serves his time. (At least that is how it has worked in the US with organized crime from time to time). If you step back from the deed itself and look at the bigger picture, if they guy has never been charged before he probably gets a fairly light sentence (not Manafort light, but probably not 30 years), he comes out of it with his family taken care of, the real crook has $73M somewhere safe, and this guy probably doesn't have to work any more if he doesn't want to.

On HN, please don't use quotation marks to make it look like you're quoting someone when you're not. In this case it led to a bad misunderstanding elsewhere in the thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19470818).

Also, could you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html? You've been breaking them, and we need you to fix that. One thing they ask you not to do is insinuate astroturfing without evidence, as you did in this comment here. Plenty of explanation here: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme....

More seriously, it looks like you've been using HN primarily for political and ideological battle. A certain amount of politics and ideology is unavoidable with many topics that appear on HN, but when this crosses into being the primary reason why someone uses the site, that user has left the realm of intellectual curiosity and shifted to the battlefield—exactly what we're trying to avoid HN turning into. For that reason, we ban accounts when they cross that line. More explanation on that if anyone wants it: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme....
The setting is 7 car lengths and I think that's for 60 mph or so. It is proportionally less at lower speeds.

Google tells me that 7 * 200 inches / 60 mph is 1.32 seconds which isn't that long. But in reality, the car in front of you is braking and you are braking. So the real measurement is when they hit the brakes can you react in time to hit the brakes. Not gonna do that math. Maybe the CA drivers handbook has a table.

However, 7 car lengths feels to me like a lot and 7 car lengths with TACC seems very safe. Yeah, people merge into my gap and so I drop back again; big whoop. It also reduces dings from pebbles getting kicked up by the car in front.
Rather like bit rot.

Probably was just the product of leveraging the observations and knowledge their society had at the time to produce a novel solution to a region-specific problem. Humans don't seem to have gotten any more or less intelligent than our ancient predecessors, those of us in this particular time period were just were born with a different and relatively more advanced set of tools. If you constrain the set of possible methods to achieve a solution, you usually increase the creativity required to achieve that solution.

I’m not sure how many people will ever even work on CRUD apps of that scale.

Even a mere 1,000 req/sec adds up to 86.4M per day. That sounds like something at least as popular as Stack Overflow, for example. How many web apps are there, really, that have millions of users?
Weird how you've come to that conclusion when I've been the one talking about testing and you keep shrugging it off with "well I prefer exceptions" because "sometimes you have to debug things on production".

I honestly don't think you know the first thing about writing stable software so are now just lashing out at me.

I too bike all winter (on 4.6" studded tires), but I am not worried about falling: it is falling and having some dolt who cannot stop run over me that worries me.

Still, the feeling of well-being that comes from moderate exercise and the joy of seeing the world in another way makes up for it. Most drivers are smart enough and courteous enough that I would recommend it to anyone.

I own a motorcycle and, as a programmer, the difference between a modern car and a motorcycle is like the difference between a GUI and a terminal. My bike has no electronics, just an engine and some wheels. Never am I confused at what it's doing: I have a perfect mental model of the machine that I then use to reason about it's behavior. With a car or in the 737 Max case, the user is unable to develop a mental model of the machine, thus making correct and safe operation difficult.

No, the person I first replied to did. Then you jumped in and defended his position with your "yes and no" comment.

I agree. I always appreciate your friendliness and thoughtfulness, but I've never gotten you or anyone else on the Rust team to budge an inch on the problems with Rust. (which is a shame, because it's close to being a great language...)

KDE Usability and Productivity: Week 63
You've put forth a straw man. I haven't claimed a specific drug would solve the problem, only that a class of drugs might help.

Actual trials haven't been done, but anecdotal data from individual case studies show promise. It's absolutely not a silver bullet or potential full cure. It could however be part of a cocktail of drugs that provide significant improvement. Or maybe not. But the incremental cost if studying an already approved drug is negligible compared to creating new drugs from scratch or continuing research on other experimental drugs. But by all means, both kinds of research should occurr.
My loose coalition of angel friends did a blind survey among ourselves. Sixty responses received from 700 angels, conducted in March 2018. The median check size was $25K. I do not remember the exact distribution, but check sizes of less than $10K were rare, as were checks over $50K.
I'm a long time C++ developer, and recently took a job where I write a lot of Python in a large code base. Initially it seemed great, but I quickly realized how uncomfortable it is to have no safety net up front. The interesting thing is Python eliminates a lot of programming errors you may encounter in C++. But it introduces a whole different set of programming errors you would never see in C++. I don't feel comfortable using Python for any project where the code must be correct. I would use Rust every time for that.
I use nano because I don't have to remember anything to use it. If you put me in front of nano I can open a config file, go to the line I need, edit in something, save it, and exit without knowing a single thing about nano. If you put me in front of emacs or vi I have absolutely no idea what I'm looking at.

I am sure vi and emacs are much powerful than nano, but the time I'd have to invest in learning them would outweigh the benefit. I just don't edit text files enough for it to pay off.
It still exists for the purposes of bonus and raise distribution (“rewards”) - and while the mandatory rank-and-yank policy has been removed, there’s still pressure within management to eliminate lower-performers.

A huge problem with Microsoft’s employee evaluation system (“//connect”) is the fact it’s still self-evaluation. If you’re too honest or self-critical regardless of actual performance then you will be pseudo-ranked lower than someone who knows how to bullshit their way through self-evaluations.

Let’s just say I learned the hard way. Being (constructively) self-critical in self-evaluations was drilled into me in Catholic school and it actually really helped me in university, but no-one told me it’s career self-sabotage when you enter the workforce.

I have ASD as well.
I am sure the feature is there to help keep the plane stable. It can be flown without the system being on if the sensors don't work. You can drive your car without cruise control, but it makes it more convenient with it on.

My Subaru has a pseudo sort of stick shift without a clutch. It's a mode you stick the gear lever into then you have up and down pads on the steering wheel which go up and down the gears. I tried it a few times but was pretty confused so gave up. I learned to drive stick shift so it was a sort of novelty only in the Subaru.
I'm confused. The only reason one uses nano is because you ssh'ed into some random machine and you are stuck with whatever is on it. If you got enough bother to install micro or fiddling with the settings of nano you might as well setup something more proper.
If I want a light version of emacs (like on OpenWRT, or a constrained embedded device) I reach for JOVE, or Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs. JOVE was actually the version of emacs I first learned on back in the late 80s.

JOVE is tiny, and has implemented a huge amount of emacs. After you spend 15 minutes or so tweaking your .joverc file you won't even notice it's not GNU.
I was replying to just you, not defending them.

It seems we’re in full agreement about the problems: compile times are too slow! Everyone acknowledges this. It seems like our disagreement is about the why.

> Were they?

Yes, many times.

> Tesla is the only manufacturer with multiple driver fatalities while "self driving". Plus the countless crashes with no fatalities.

Again it's pretty obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about here. That statement is not only grossly false but also ignorant (seem like a theme with your comments). For one, autopilot features are really just glorified Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (TACC).

They are one for the umpteenth time NOT "self-driving" any Tesla owner knows this (prove me wrong otherwise my $1K offer still stands). There are ZERO indications that even remotely suggests that the car is "self-driving.

From the moment you take delivery and they show you the features of the car, to turning on each individual driver assist features and actually engaging TACC and LKAS. Zero, nada, none. So stop saying this. Go find any Tesla owner discussion group/forum on the internet and ask actual owners. You will quickly see how wrong your assumptions are.

More importantly, TKAS and LKAS have been around for a while now and the only significant difference with Tesla's version is the auto lane change functionality.

Below are just a few other safety systems that have TKAS and LKAS:

1. Honda Sensing
2. Toyota Safety Sense™ (TSS)
3. AcuraWatch
3. Some Mercedes Benz vehicles with the Driver Assistance Package

There have been plenty of fatalities with these systems as well. But guess what? you don't see them in the news.

Some Tesla owners on reddit even talked about the differences with these systems from their anecdotal experiences and found that Tesla's implementation was better (these are actual owners not marketing BS). i.e. Some won't even give any visual/audible warnings when disengaging.

https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/6em5kz/non_tes...
In some of those cases, they're trying to convince someone into ordering a service and paying for it at the same moment. My domains have public registration, so I get a lot of these BS solicitations. (It pleases me every time I get one, because these scammers^DELentrepreneurs are losing money on each of my domains...

"If your domain lapses and no one can get to your site, you could lose business or even lose the domain entirely. Renew your domain today for only $99.95!"

"If you don't submit your business to Google and drop off of search results, your business could suffer. Send us $100 and we'll handle submitting your site to Google for you."

Those statements are not technically wrong; these companies are soliciting to provide a service; obviously techies find the practice abhorrent and misleading, but they live in a muddy grey area where they provide some service and charge money for it.
Texas for better or worse is extremely prideful that education is baked into their state constitution from very early on so I feel there is just more state identity tied to education at many levels compared to some of the surrounding states (article 7). While I agree with others that the current outcome is not really desirable and all of the other issues going on it is a top level part of the conversation where I feel like in surrounding states it easily become a B or C priority in discussions.
I don’t think you understand what the role of a CEO of a company is. Despite your flippant implication, being an incredible liar isn’t even close to qualifying you for CEO of an F500.
> making it difficult to use a cellphone or eat while driving

Desperate lack of imagination there. People do all of the following:

- shove cellphone between ear and shoulder

- temporarily hold food in teeth

- change gear with food hand

- drive with gear hand, jam wheel with knees for the second it takes to change gear

- drive for long periods in the wrong gear; you can do almost all your urban driving in third or second.

Surprising things are possible with partially failed manual transmissions. My wife drove back from the Scottish highlands in a car where the shift was almost totally seized - took both hands to wedge it into third, and left in there. I've driven a car with an ECU failure that meant it stalled if asked to idle, so every downshift required a rolling restart and it was extremely inconvenient to stop at junctions - I had to plan ahead and roll through slowly.

Just wanted to give 4 quick suggestions to help you get a job:

1) Add your email in your HN profile in the “about” section. I’m certain there’s a lot of people who really resonated with your story and potentially interested in hiring you, but have zero ways of contacting you. You have to do everything you can to increase your “luck quotient”.

2) Post in “Ask HN: Who wants to be hired” when it comes up again. Mention either remote or local depending on what you’re looking for. Be very honest with your story and what you’re looking for.

3) Reach out to founders in startups in the Oklahoma area if you want to work locally. I know a lot of founders and almost all of them are desperate to hire good developers. Even if your skills are "rusty" the smartest ones will realize it won’t take long for you to get up to speed.

4) Send me an email with a resume. I might be interested or know someone who is.

Nope. vi almost doesn't exist. Most distros just use vim in a vi mode (or vim.tiny, same thing).

Just because the command is "vi" to invoke doesn't mean anything.

The experiment describes an unusual process observed in a system driven out of equilibrium (i.e., non-equilibrium), where, strictly speaking, the 2nd law does not apply.

Vi's not too bad. 'i' to edit text. ESC to get out of editing. ':w" to save changes. ":q" to quit. ":wq" to do both. ":q!" to quit without saving. "hjkl" for navigation in case the arrow keys don't work.

That's enough to get by for quick edits. I haven't used vi a ton in my life, but I've managed to remember that much.
Do they intend for you to be able to draw more than 1 exit? cuz on the 4th level, i just drew a 2nd exit inside the cell and the game didnt complain when i used it.

As other commenters noted, the title is very misleading. The force exist but it is tiny, very very very tiny.

For radiation, force = power / speed of light

You can add x2 if the radiation bounce against the surface like in a mirror. For the calculations, let's pick a random value for power: 100W

* 100 W it's all the power that used an old incandescent lamp, most of it was wasted as heat instead of visible light, and in many directions.

* A modern LED lamp for a room has about 10W, so 100W are like 10 LED lamps.

* And 100W is HUGE for a laser. And 5W is huge for a laser. (Class 3R is up to .005W and Class 3B is up to .5W.)

So if we divide the force by the acceleration of the gravity https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2+*+100W+%2F+(speed+of... we get 7E-8Kg = 70ug that according to wolfram alpha is approximately 1/40 of a typical snowflake and 1/20 of a typical mosquito.

Note that if you suddenly put 100W into a snowflake or a mosquito, they will be destroyed instantly, and you need x20 or x40 more power to make them float, and they will absorb most of the energy so you need x2 the power.

(The article is about manipulating the light/material to stabilize the object, not to magically make the radiation force strong enough to levitate an elephant.)

It’s not patriotic. There were many people who were against it because it was championed by a “non American Secret Muslim who wanted to impose Sharia law”. If Romney had proposed or Trump they would have been all for it.

It’s amazing how many states are passing laws that are pro Medicare expansion now that it doesn’t mean supporting Obama.

On top of that, they don’t want “them” to have health insurance.

Let’s call “patriotic” what it is - racism.

My own opinion is that the likes of the UK is better suited to stick as they mostly have yield at junctions so you can coast a bit. In the USA most intersections are stop signs and stick was always a pain in the @55 when doing stop/starts on the motorway as it was slower for me.
In France shift stick are generally cheaper than automatic gear

In newtonian physics you learn that momentum is calculated as mass x velocity. Then in modern physics you learn that light has zero mass so you naively assume light has no momentum. Then later you learn that the original equation you learned was missing a piece and light can actually transfer momentum. This is a cool application of that property!
