I does not but it's easier to fix.

For me it's a realestate related problem. There is not enough offer. We should increase the offer with very cheap houses.
Technology always loses to policy when the government has a monopoly on force.
Ask HN: Self Taught techs, how did you keep from quitting once things got hard?
We are biased on HN to consider technological solutions to an ideological problem: there are powerful people who benefit from sowing distrust. Ideally, the Chinese leadership wants each citizen afraid of their neighbors.

This is easier to do in a society when large family ties are much weaker (due to one child policy).
How do you know its genetic? Things like mercury does that too. I don't like to bring this up too often if I have no data at all because it sounds so alarmist, but I can only post publically so just in case... My own unfortunate experience: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19575424 Do you have any tooth fillings, for example, if so what kind? Was the source in my case. Jaw bones in very bad shape, never noticed by x-ray, only when a doctor trying to inject into buccal mucosa ended up diving deep into the jaw bones was it discovered how bad it was. In four places - all of them ex amalgam tooth fillings for two decades, and healed by injecting chelator. Lots and lots of conditions cleared that are quite common, such as psoriasis, and where no doctor ever considers heavy metals. How much it had affected my brain, direction of thoughts, dreams (literally), I only noticed through years of (university clinic researcher doctor controlled) chelation (DMPS, DMSA). Huge changes. And until I was forced to look into my problems I called myself "health" all the way through three decades of suffering from things which are all completely gone now, but which I always thought were "normal" and/or "part of (my) life".

Parent's argument is that the government already has photos of all international travelers and the government already has a written record of each international arrival and departure. So, the delta between a written record of border crossing and a photo record of border cross is the government having additional photos of somebody they already have at least one photo of. For many people, the difference between a single photo and many photos is minor.

Government does not already have photos of all individuals who cross street corners (there is no legal requirement to have ID) and government does not record a list of names of each person who crosses the street. So, cameras at street corners have a much larger delta - between no photos and photos and between no internal location records and having internal location records.
There is something like this in Malaysia as well, under the previous government. The way that some people deal with this is make everybody admin.
As a dev who has worked in lucrative markets (defence contractor, tech-citys) for 10+ years, ive just taken a paycut (30%) to go remote only.

Everyone trades things off differently. I couldnt be more happier. When i was making more money; i had more debt and less time. That equation only gets higher as you get more senior. So yeh, i couldnt care less a google grad is making more then me - i dont work for an evil company, i can work flexibly, i can do overtime without having to travel, i can literly get in my car, travel 1000miles, setup my 4g next to a beach, and goto work. When i have a children i dont have to be an absent parent.

Money / Time / Happiness. Pick 2.
One of LFortran authors here. Yes, we already have an open issue for exactly this: https://gitlab.com/lfortran/lfortran/issues/42. As you can read there, it's actually not that easy as I first thought. But I think it's very much worth pursuing.

For example, Python's AST is not round-trippable, and that forces people to write alternative parsers such as Parso (https://github.com/davidhalter/parso).

ANTLR should allow to parse all the white space. But the issue is how to represent it in the AST, see the issue for more details. One could have an AST and a parser just for this round-trippable application, but that defeats the purpose. The goal should be to have this part of the compiler so that one can trust that it parses things correctly.

Right now I am concentrating my efforts to finish gfortran compatibility (see the roadmap at https://lfortran.org) and to get first users. Once we get further along, we will tackle this problem. I am hopeful there might be a way to do this.
All your conclusions are wrong.

He wasn't asking too much money.

He wasn't overqualified.

He took the job and did programming.

Why you assume lead architect means not programming is not something I know.

I didn't pull strings to get him promoted.

But all your conclusions illustrate why technical recruiting is so broken - no-one ever has any problem justifying outcomes after the fact and making up stories to match their own reality.
This honestly makes me think of Musk -- huge actions/claims/successes/failures. The parallels, while probably all imaginary, work out quite well in my head.
Virtually everyone who owns a cell phone that's not an iPhone. Android apps tend to be ad-supported, though, so not sure if that really helps the point.

There's also the TVs, set top boxes, refrigerators, and cars (among many other consumer-facing devices) that run Linux (which completely displaced Windows CE).
To be clear, you're not claiming that crisis actors/political theatre is a myth...right?

Yeah. You describe that well. It is a very difficult problem.
I had no idea there might be some connotation about remote workers as some kind of people, any idea what they may have meant?
You assume that the reason the guy did not get the job is that candidate undersold themselves.

It is mostly the responsibility of the technical interviewers to determine if the candidate is suitable.
Any reputable sourcee on this?
Looks like the core problem today was a DNS zone delegation issue during a migration off of legacy DNS servers. I'm not sure how this type of issue can easily be segmented by region due to the way the DNS service is designed and fundamentally zone replication works.

Why is this even a "valid" reason?
Facebook is not the government, a payment system is not the same as credit, and deciding not to broadcast something is not censorship.
My company offshores, has remote only roles, has an in-house office, and wework offices across captial cities. They also pay their workers based on where the company headquaters is, not their locale.

Work of the future will need to be flexible. I envisage the rat race of the future being for unskilled labour.
Very good deep-dive, but I'm surprised there was little mention of the higher-level libraries that do exist already. I've found kiss3d and three-rs, both of which seem pretty early but appear to let you "load a model you made in Blender and show it on screen".
5 months ago there was an outage in GKE for 3 days:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18428497

It doesn't look like a good service to me at all.
in _all_ regions, regularly, Probably not... Depends on how you define "regularly".. but even one or two a year could be counted as regular for some definition of regular.

* Azure: 12 user-facing outages this year so far. source:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/history/

* Amazon: They don't make their status history public it seems, but I
see 5 easily searchable outages from last year. I would venture to
bet their actual outage history is not any better than Azure or Google.

* Google: 23 from this year so far source: https://status.cloud.google.com/summary

These numbers are from when I counted in March 2019, so ~ 3 months, their outages are in double digits. That's TERRIBLE.

Obviously the above numbers are not across _all_ regions, they are just a total count across all regions.

For those wondering.
With the amount of lawsuits in the US for people that are willingly harming themselves or abusing drugs: Cigarette companies still getting sued for smokers dying of cancer..even though it's been known for 50 years that it causes cancer and Big Pharma getting sued for the Opiod crises means that this will never happen here until we have major tort reform and an assurance that a company can't be sued in any court if someone dies as a result of taking untested treatments.

"It's clear that the current approach to develop new treatments/drugs that requires billions and years or even decades of tests is not fast enough for many people"

It takes years of testing because the risk if health or death is too great. It's foolish to think that allowing anyone to be a human guinea pig for untested/unfinished treatments will result in any less deaths or suffering from a terminal illness.
You realize that this a common figure of speech and usually not meant literally, don't you?
That article is about spyware Canonical themselves developed and baked into the desktop environment they developed specifically for Ubuntu.
We need extra layers and proxies! For, uh, security reasons!
I appreciate the comment, but we seem to have different understanding about the context of the article.

>It's just has to be close enough to be indistinguishable from the real thing

Then that 'close enough'simulation is the real thing for us. The summary of the content is, the computational complexity of that simulation is so large that we need a 'close-enough real thing' to simulate 'close enough simulation' of itself. In that case is it even a simulation?

The second & third point mentioned seems to have assumed that such computational complexity is achieved; it doesn't change my argument of it.
Thank you for that link, i'll park that in some tab for later reading after skimming over. What i meant to say with shunning
is exactly the thing with proprietary software. I need that to work. All i ever read up until now was handwavy referrals to some obscure "guix-channels". So i searched some, and found none. It's not that i can't mobilize some hardcore search machine foo. It's just that i don't want to do this anymore, because i feel it is wasted time, which ends into subscribing into some ghettoish cult, chanting askew "commercial baaaad, nooo goood, we better food...",
...while in reality i need to get things f...ing done by whichever means. Which meant Windows for the last few years.
So, whenever i read about something interesting to me, considering to spend my free time with it, this annoys me to no end, because it feels like trying to make me jump through burning loops like some trained animal. I can't stand this sort of stuff anymore. Especially given the fact how much hardware only really works with binary blobs, at least when it's current, and not some obsoleted gear or niche systems.

I like CarPlay. Updating an app or upgrading phone is effectively updating the head unit in the car. And my climate controls are all physical dials with detents that I can use without looking at them. Ironically, the cheaper cars have smaller screens and physical controls.

They can't arrest everyone. Make encryption widespread and unquestionably superior to unencrypted communication and I don't think the government can do much to stop it.
except at the moment we're dealing with highly organized paid misinformation campaigns and widespread propaganda under the guise of free speech. This will not be popular on Hn but in my opinion holding users and platforms responsible for the messages they distribute to millions is the inevitable evolution and future of social media, society has demonstrated the inability to responsibly handle anonymous unchecked mass communication - anti vax is just one example and those consequences (Measles is back) are just the tip of the iceberg.
"Flat line" [citation needed].

Indeed there is something fishy: climate denialism is as fishy as holocaust denialism, sixth-extinction denialism, moon-landing denialism, vaccine-benefit denialism, evolution-denialism, and spherical-earth denialism.
It seems to me that being opposed to someone breaking the law is not equivalent to being a sadistic xenophobe.

Finding people who rob banks at some point and punishing them is of great interest to people fearful of robbers who like disrupting robbers’ lives for no practical purpose because they gain sadistic satisfaction from cruelly exercising power over other people.
I wouldn't be surprised if this could happen in the US, if someone created a "terrorist" group chat.

This is ridiculous, if drinking diet coke made people violent and go on shooting sprees against innocent people, it'd be banned. We all know they're radicalized on places like 4chan, 8chan, Voat, Gab.ai, many alt-right subreddits, alt-right YouTube channels and Facebook accounts.

The two axioms that explain your experience with devices that contain software (except Teslas):

I. It takes extraordinary effort to make software that's not horribly difficult to use.

II. Companies whose main focus isn't software don't expend extraordinary effort on it.

Arguably the reason Tesla is an exception is that it is actually a software company.

Section 230 Is Not a Special “Tech Company” Immunity
> Assigning any credibility to a statement based on the identity of its source is indeed the logical fallacy known as "appeal to authority"

I think you are confusing deductive and inductive reasoning.
You continue repeating this number, despite being politely corrected numerous times.
I mean, sure, everyone knows it is. But usually governments of democratic countries try to hide their intentions with some sort of reasonable-sounding excuse?
It used to be.
There might be some bad implementations out there, but that is a problem with that implementation, not the technology.

I've driven extensively with AEB in a 2015 Jeep Cherokee and it has been borderline faultless. And that's surprising because I have very low regard for anything made by Fiat/Chrysler, but whatever (presumably third party) tech they integrated, it has been rock solid. Over tens of thousands of kilometres it has never, ever had a true false positive. And the radar cruise has never, ever had a false negative.

Very occasionally the AEB has "freaked out" unnecessarily; usually when I'm driving right into someone who is in the process of turning off the road. I know that they'll be out of my way in time for me to go past, so technically it's a false positive, but even then I'd give it to the car. I am driving dangerously. I am gambling that the turning driver doesn't brake suddenly before they complete their turn

(I've also done a few thousand kilometers in a 2019 Subaru Forester with Eyesight—a purely vision-based system—and its adaptive cruise is even better than on the Jeep. It's less anxious on the brakes in response to movements by the cars ahead, and you can configure how eagerly it accelerates back up to set speed when the road clears.)

Funnily enough, even if Facebook was receiving money directly from several governments, they wouldn't be violating the First Amendment because they aren't the government. The First Amendment was designed to protect free speech from government (and the American government at that). It's arguable that even if the US government was providing some funding, they still wouldn't be violating the First Amendment.

So no, this is not a "First Amendment" issue. Nobody's telling these people they can't participate in society or publish their own blogs. They are just telling them that their anti-Semitic crap won't be allowed. And for that, we should all be thankful.
Sorry, I don’t understand. Currently, social media networks act independently of law enforcement. Someone can run afoul of the law while not getting banned from a service, and vice versa. Alex Jones has been banned because companies saw him violating their TOS — this is related but independent of the ongoing civil lawsuit he faces.

You’re suggesting that online services have no sanctions whatsoever, because you have faith that the justice system will be enough of a deterrent? That should be obviously absurd when you consider that a social network’s audience spans multiple countries’ justice systems.
All mainstream media is also guilty of running misinformation campaigns and widespread propaganda all the time as well, so who exactly are we going to hold responsible here? To me it seems like a recipe for giving more power to the people who already have the most.

I wonder if it holds up on very large scales, like if we can cover an atmosphere, or a star in one. What would that mean? Elements now are just variations of carbon structures?

And could we at that level build a virtual one? Develop some exotic particle in the atmosphere, get really precise at moving it around, and model the entire Earth, Solar System or Galaxy as interactions as fullerenes?

Just thinking.

I think in addition to the stigma, there will always be a matter of trust. If someone claims to be undetectable, at what point do you believe them? Right away, no questions asked? What level of trust is required to be sure they ever were, or still are, undetectable? Has the source of their medicine changed? How secure is their access to it? Any financial stresses or other factors that would affect their medicine's availability?

It's a lot to ask of someone - on both sides. How do you think someone could approach this in a way that preserves your humanity and your privacy?
