I love this idea and have some feedback on the format: I would love to see a "what's my dream job?" sentence and a "these are my strengths and domain expertise" sentence. There are 100+ comments here with resume links, but reading 100 resumes is very time-consuming, and knowing the technologies someone has used isn't super helpful. I'd love to read about what people are looking for and what they are offering.
I call bullshit. Pneumatic road tubes have been around for a while to gather data about traffic flows.
Energy spent recycling covered by resell value of said plastic?
I can't find it now, but there is a comment from an HN moderator from a while back saying that it is OK to link to such pirated paywall news content if the usual tricks for bypassing the paywall (such as going to the site via a Google search result) don't work.
On the other hand, earworms reproduction is explosive in presence of electronic music. You can't have all.
I'm in complete agreement. What's interesting are the people who speak out or act on behalf the advancement when the practice is still completely normalized.

There is a group of vegan activists in Portland called the Cube of Truth. They hide their identity and hold up monitors on the street. If you approach and consent, they will display difficult to consume video of industrial animal practices.[1]

I commented there that "the cavalier, even gleeful use of animal products in food and and consumer goods will be a regrettable cultural wave."

Black plastic is a big deal as most of the food containers are made of black plastic, and cities have trouble recycling them, even though the plastic itself is recyclable https://www.blogto.com/eat_drink/2018/03/black-plastic-toron...
I've been wondering whether framing it like that (work vs life) is making things worse. I do it myself too, but what if those 8+ hours a day could actually also be leisure? Coworkers with young kids actually joke about coming to work to relax.
Our family buys a whole animal from a local farmer periodically. We evaluate how the animal was raised, the sustainability of the farm, etc. to the best of our ability. It's the one exception to my vegetarianism. It results in me eating meat every now and again, but meat I know was treated humanely.

It does make it much easier to 'half-abstain' because it's not an exception I can make easily on a whim at the grocery store. Buying a whole animal takes some planning.

It's been an ideal combination for us -- higher quality meat, considerably less meat consumed, and education to my kiddo about where meat comes from (and what responsible looks like on a farm).
then i blame the government when things go wrong.
"grease" is the lowest-quality subcategory of "fat".
lol strange, you are right, I actually started at 21. Worked til 30, got out for 7 years and then got back in. In my head I have always said 10 years. Weird I have been living a lie this whole time.
An interesting trick - if Cloudflare allows it - would be Device -> Tor -> This -> Internet. Tor provides anonymity, this provides protection against exit nodes maliciously modifying traffic (you can find a number of examples of this just by searching).
Where Electronic Health Records went wrong...

* Lack of standard, OPEN, free to implement formats; for everything.
* That are required as a native format for all vendors considered for selection.
* Ironically, HIPPA, which correctly makes collecting data a liability.
However this also makes releasing that data to patients difficult.
It makes patients authorizing the release to other entities even more difficult.
It contributes to making critical data during emergency situations difficult to locate.
-
Some kind of standard civil contract singing PKI might be a technical solution, but
That's beyond the scope of healthcare solutions, it's a national ID / notary issue
* Lack of a central registry to at least annotate where patient records exist and can be located.
* A multitude of private healthcare cost management organizations (HMOs)**
* Artificially constrained supply in non-emergency contexts
* No shopping at all during emergency contexts (nor should there be)

(HMOs) which seem mostly to focus on for-profit results rather than actually improving quality of care, patient outcomes or actual medical costs; at least in most cases.

Was the deployment process of your parent post actually error-prone? From what I gathered, the developers were unaware of the lost handheld scanners. I imagine if they did they could've proactively put them out-of-service until found.
The play field itself is already taller than 240 pixels and even though there are X modes that allow you to go beyond 240 scan lines, none of them work consistently on newer LCD panels. Ideally I use 360 x 270 which gives me square pixels and everything fits perfectly but it will only work in DOSBox for most people these days. I'd like people to run this on real hardware... Technically I could tilt the screen, as they did in the arcade (i.e. 240x320) but who can tilt their 4:3 LCD panel? I just happen to have one but... I think I have to use some form of panning...
Yeah i know which is why this survey is basically useless imo.
I would walk away if I was asked for it, even though my grades were good. That's BS.
> I can't even imagine what would drive someone to spend their weekend time feverishly imagining statements that no one is making so they can feel smug about disagreeing with them.

I'm sorry my comment upset you. It wasn't my intention.

My point was that in many cases people are inclined to work longer as a result of social pressure when it has no positive impact on productivity. In that case, are longer hours "required"? Or is it strictly a choice? My interpretation of what you said was perhaps more binary than you intended.

In those cases, one can simply work less, shrug off the social pressure, and perform at the same level. You allude to this (sort of) in your second paragraph, but this is not as obvious to many people as you state and, I think, benefits from saying explicitly.
If you're working at a company that has multiple offices around the country (say SF, NYC, Boston), is it unreasonable to ask for the same compensation that a worker in the most expensive office gets? Assuming the role/responsibilities will be the same and the team consists of people from all offices.
Vegetarian is not always “kosher by default”. Grape juice and wine--and products made from them--aren’t kosher by default, for example. And many people hold by cholov or pas yisroel, which means that milk or bread will need special supervision.

Furthermore, the requirements for cleaning vegetables to make sure they're free of insects and insect parts is usually more stringent that what many vegetarians and vegans are used to.
It was honestly a shock how terrible the US A&W was when I tried it. Canada's A&W is indeed MUCH better.
In this case, the application itself does not use the disk in question, so the old version kept chugging along obliviously.

We actually did have monitoring on the capacity of the disk in question. We discovered during the analysis that it had been alerting the responsible team all day. They had just been ignoring it.

Yep, if I remember correctly, their current veggie patty is a morning star patty.

Depending on how often these items are asked for, though, and particularly in smaller cities, it's not uncommon for them to be deep frozen and pretty freezer-burnt by the time they reach you (same as Subway).
Weirdly behind very closed doors it's said to still be run as a modern American western company. No body wants to mess with what works.

Generally speaking, bigoted speech should be disqualifying. Now, people may not recognize transphobia as bigoted, but I personally consider it bigoted.

The Klans members have been removed from public office for the most part, and forced to live in the shadows. I think the social movement to become more inclusive requires us to expand beyond just shunning racism, but also expand towards shunning homophobia, transphobia, and islamaphobia.

I think "ThreadOfRain" has a good point above: if one speaker is publicly and openly transphobic, perhaps that would be reason enough to disqualify them (akin to how we disqualify other public speakers for being racists). I don't know much about this particular "Kay Coles James" person however, so I dunno whether or not those tweets have a greater context. But it doesn't look good IMO.

------------

I'd like to think there are plenty of conservative speakers who aren't Transphobic, who would likely be a better rolemodel to fit on the AI Council.
I'm allergic to soy protein, so I was bummed to hear that the impossible burger is switching to it. Same thing with Soylent. I guess if it's hydrolyzed I might be able to tolerate it, but I'm pretty sure they're using concentrate because it's cheaper.

This comment was a bit silly - but I'd say that my experience with beyond meat in A&Ws up here in Canada... the fact that the regular beef that's being substituted out is already treated and pressed to being barely recognizable makes the beyond meat substitution a fair replacement. If I were in a fancy restaurant getting a nice thick & juicy burger the differences might be more noticeable.
There are many, many alternatives to a life of addiction.

My only point is, don't just blindly accept pharmaceutical dependence without at least considering the alternatives. Pharmaceutical addiction is no benign thing - addiction and dependency is a key factor in the profit motives of the military-industrial-pharmaceutical complex. Before you fall for their traps, be sure you've considered the alternative.
I am a front-end developer on an H1 visa. There is a reason for the slowdown. A lot of companies, Indian IT or consultancy firms in the US are abusing the H1 visa process. They use lawyers and high sounding words to make roles such as functional/manual tester or other non-critical non-STEM roles to sound as technical STEM based roles. IMHO these roles can be easily done by American locals without STEM or technical background, if they have an opportunity. A bit of process and business training is enough. Whether they do get into such roles or not is a different ball game altogether. But the premise of H1 is to provide visa for people with skills that the American market doesn't have. This process is easy to abuse because people in the administration are not tech savvy. Until people from tech in the US decide to take part in governance, there is not much that can be done besides slowing the process a bit so that current people who work at USCIS have the time to gauge applications in a fair way.
Well, it is understandable. Winds are changing though...

The lack of (enough) incentive for upgrading used to be a good excuse but with 3.8 we are getting a few performance updates that are hard to ignore. Also, many projects in data sciences are dropping support for legacy Python so sooner or later data processing pipelines will have to catch up.

Yes, upgrading is unpleasant, but it is becoming a matter of hygiene.

I don't use multiple apps anymore and instead treat the project as the app, so my directory structure looks something like this ('project' can change to something specific to what you're working on):

* manage.py

* project/settings.py

* project/urls.py

* project/models/ (each model gets it's own file here)

* project/views/ (same for views)

...and so on. And in `INSTALLED_APPS` I just add 'project'.

Makes it so I don't waste a bunch of time trying to figure out which app to put a model in, etc.
I'm very puzzled, if they're generating $25 billion in profit/quarter, why do they need to get a loan? They could just pocket the earnings for a couple months.

There are generally three kinds of these systems.

1) FWK (full weight kernel) a stripped-down version of a full featured kernel only having the things needed to run a particular application. Remember as the upstream kernel progresses you have to some how find a way to update your modified kernel to keep up with security fixes and all.

2) A LWK (light weight kernel) a small kernel built from scratch that is added as a library to an application (it will likely be incompatible with many existing applications built for other systems) - a pro is that system updates are practically non-existent. You don't have to rebuild your image with Debian patches or anything like that since the kernel is minimal and unique. And exploits have minimal impact in any case.

3) Then there is the hybrid approach where you have a LWK that runs along side a FWK with the light weight kernel handling most of the system calls while the full weight kernel (e.g Linux) handles system calls for compatibility. A multi-kernel approach.

I have no idea what route Nanos takes since I can't see the code and its not mentioned anywhere. Keep in mind a Unikernel is usually a single address space kind of thing, so you shouldn't be able to fork or exec. Since Ops permits arbitrary Go/C/C++/Ruby programs I wonder what happens if you try to exec something.

In any case these systems are more secure than containers because an exploit in the code running in the container can affect the host kernel (There is no real isolation). With Unikernels, in some cases, the system will actually unplug cores from the host kernel and boot the Unikernels on those cores utilizing available NUMA features of the CPU. This allows for more isolation and the kernel itself is minimal so it has small attack surface and, in some cases, added performance characteristics.

There are good debugging tools these days for libOS's (Unikernels) and they date back all the way to MIT's exokernel design and even further back. They have caught traction recently because:

1) They are easy to make (You are either stripping down a working kernel or building a very small one - think smaller than minix3).

2) Cloud computing (security) and HPC (performance on commodity) make them relevant again.

3) Not to mention they are fundamentally a better technology than containers, IMHO there is no debate, containers will be replaced by libos(s)/unikernels.

That guy should have left, but he probably negotiated a salary commensurate with his true experience, with people who just love to code, I can imagine they would not care about the title, the real win is in the bank account. Call me a code janitor if you want as long as I get my 120k 4 weeks of vacation and my co workers are not total wads, I'd be fine.
This isn't strictly true - Teslas have the ability to perform emergency stops if they detect something in front of them.

I don't believe that they're likely to pick up something driving straight at them, as it's not something the neural net has been trained for.

My Model X often alerts me to parked cars, thinking I might drive into them :P
I have 3 different machines in my home. Mac, windows and linux machines.

I've been a user of linux from roughly 2005? A user of Windows since 2001 and a Mac user since 2013.

- I sigh deeply, deeply when I am not on my 2012 MBPr macbook.

- I have zero problems with my macbook.

- I am much more productive when I am on my macbook.

I am not going back to a daily driver of either Windows or Linux.

My next stop will probably a hackintosh and that's because of Apple's shenanigans with the newer models.
I'll take a slightly thicker laptop with a working keyboard

Someone should create a laptop which has equivalent aesthetics, high build quality, very high robustness, awesome battery life, an awesome mechanical keyboard, and gaming-laptop like GPU/CPU specs.

I don't care if it's an entire inch thick. Just make the edges super rounded, and I can get it into my backpack just fine! (I'd say to brand it 'THICC' but I'm not sure if that wouldn't draw it towards gaming laptop territory.) The current basic spec 15" Razer Blade is very close to this, but not quite.

Indeed, we've gone to great lengths already to make the experience over Tor less painful -- for example supporting Proxy Pass: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-supports-privacy-pass... in addition to the onion service that rrix20 mentioned.
I think a lot of it comes down to scratching an itch vs. being productive. I'd love to see something new gain traction, I just don't see it happening. Linux pretty much controls the services market (so much so that WSL and LCW are a thing). Windows and MacOS rule the roost on the desktop, though I think ChromeOS have carved a niche that I wouldn't mind seeing mature, and not become Android Desktop.

There's some cool experiments out there. Who knows anymore. One of the great things of everything (even on the desktop) being a web app, is it's really made many applications more portable, it's also slowed creativity and broader adoption. Right now, 90% of the apps and tools I use run under Windows, Mac and Linux, that's pretty huge. New OSes without at least enough support for electron/v8 and a few other bits will hold them back imho.

It's good and bad. I cannot speak for anyone else, to me these things are very cool. In the end, I have work to get done.
Ah ok. Not that it would be that weird to start working at 17 right after graduating high school.
This is an incredible achievement, and despite it being far outside of my area I was fascinated by it.
