Good, we're agreed, hate speech is vile. What we're not agreed on is the response. I am convinced by John Stuart Mill that I am not infallible therefore I should not be judge of who can and cannot speak. I can, however, judge the speech and think it is wrong and oppose it with my own speech. If they move to violence I may defend myself or others.

Or I could claim infallibility and judge that this is hate speech but that is not so this person cannot speak or say these things but that person can. In Germany, the person doing the judging was Hitler and people who agreed with him.

It doesn't sound like the best system to me. A big help to his plans was that the people denied the right to hold weaponry for personal defence were… Jews. As Frederick Douglass pointed out when talking about the oppression of blacks in America, without the right to bear arms the work of the abolitionists would not be over. History proved him (and Mill) right in Germany too.
I'm curious why it is assumed by so many that it is certain that a sufficiently intelligent machine could produce even better machines. This is certainly at least not demonstrated, and all evidence I've seen for it is extremely weak.

I have a deep rooted issue with design and designers.

In 90’s, skeuomorphic trend was picking up steam reaching a climax in mid-2000’s. Web 2.0 design elements were springing up, taking advantage of css; while UI elements sought transparency and blur (Windows Vista). That trend passed and then we had the whole Material design boom in 2012-2015, the entire web was sabotaged by Bootstrap. Color themes and palettes were very popular. Cookie-cut banners, slideshows, carousels, headers, etc. Post bootstrap world saw some radical shift in small circles: monospaced fonts, brutalism, vintage homage and low-res shenanigans whilst the mainstream design kept on drinking the material koolaid up until 2016.

Boom comes in Stripe with sleek blue-purple gradients, smooth animations, Bumla-lizing the entire fucking internet. It is 2019 and every new Saas service looks like Stripe, following trends like a mindless herd. The rest unfortunate (or unskilled to match Stripe standards) are still catching up with single page scrolling websites with full-width banners, stupid jumbotrons and loud obnoxious typography.

Traditional graphic design has largely been “solved” by the 1960’s - aka, the International style or the Swiss style for majority of needs. Of course you’re not gonna have Univers on a grunge band poster. For the curious, google some posters by Josef Muller-Brockmann from the 50’s - they still appear to be designed in 2019. That’s timelessness (or cynically put, blandness). He exemplified great understanding of contrast, scale and hierarchy in design to convey information. I recently watched Dieter Rams’ documentary and he is just completely disappointed by majority of design in the world. I am not a designer but I feel the same way. Rams’ design will never be “outdated” because his principles of design weren’t based on trends.

Let’s go Dark Themes! Also, next year is the death of jumbotrons. Mark my words.
Absolutely is - sqlite had been valuable for a long time as it made testing/local dev fast, but MySQL has always been a burden. Its made it hard for us to build optimal solutions in many cases as we had to cater to multiple different approaches to a solution. With our newer stuff we're actually able to remove a lot of the infrastructure cost/complexity by using a better solution (Clickhouse). Obviously has its costs, but its a net win.

Minor nitpick: on kinda-average U.S. home internet, with a medium-low power laptop decoding in software, the actual time to load an image could be a wash because of decode time, even with the dramatically-improved software AV1 decoders.
Some perspective: over the past 5-6 years, I have seen a raft of companies pop up promising better batteries. Their business plans are all fairly similar, but none really succeed (that I have seen); most are treading water, and few have produced returns. It seems breaking into the battery market is very difficult. Glass batteries, AC batteries, cheap graphene from biomass, silicon anodes, none have really succeeded, yet. Maybe a move to intermittent energy sources (e.g. wind, solar, hydro) which require batteries and transmission will drive adoption of new technology. If I were to guess, it will be a shortage of lithium, nickel, cobalt, etc.

You are gaining as a consumer but many new retail investors in the stock or through ETFs may get burned when the business model stops working. Most of the shared economy startups are a house of cards expecting a magic bullet to solve their cost problem (self driving cars).

I like Ripple's plain un-sweetened pea milk. It's got a thick consistency and while not actually tasting like milk, doesn't have the "off" plant flavors like soy or almond milk.

I also like the Just egg free mayonnaise, that one really tastes just like mayo.

Thanks for sharing. Seems you are knowledgeable about the industry. Any views on companies, or technologies, that you consider promising?
It’s not wrong though. They are offering their terms, to which you are providing a counter offer that includes your terms. Standard negotiation practice.

Not following through with the fully executed agreement is what would be dishonest.

Taxi drivers have usually been considered independent contractors - what is different with Uber? I’m assuming it’s because Uber exercises more control over their income thru price adjustments (which taxi drivers aren’t subject to).

I think Uber drivers should be organizing for that kind of protection eg some accountability when Uber wants to drop rev share or fares.
Contrarian opinion, but I wouldn't want to work with anyone who couldn't pass a technical screening, and I wouldn't trust any architect who couldn't implement their own designs. Wrangling APIs and knowing which technologies are hot right now don't make a senior software engineer (emphasis on engineer). Maybe at certain companies it does, but if you're building any sort of product you need to be able to DFS and BFS and sort and map from muscle memory.

So I don't understand why people think there's a disconnect between Leetcode problems and day to day work. Even in web development, the fundamental skills that Leetcode tests for come up daily. Something as simple as manipulating the DOM, for instance, requires that you know about tree data-

Your answer is basically 'radiation causes rise in cancer which can substantially reduce lifetimes is not a risk'.

I don't see how that's reasonable, I suggest you might have typed something incorrectly.

There are still quite a number of risks inherent in the Nuclear process that require only a few operational failures for disaster.

If very smart countries and operationally efficient countries like Japan screw up the risks, then anyone can. And that there were mitigating circumstances does not change the fact that Japan still had great governance and scientists and persisted with either risky models or a failure to measure the risk.

Basically, we'd need to suck the risk out of every part of the process in order for it to work well.

I think it's possible.

Complete aside about Carmack and reducing VR latency from https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/226112/How_John_Carmack_... :

"He gave the example of increasing the refresh rate on the Gear VR during development. He was working, at that time, with its Galaxy S III phone. Android triple-buffers graphics, inducing a 48 millisecond delay into the system -- making VR impossible.

Carmack pulled apart Android to hack that out. Though he'd written several emails to Samsung in attempts to convince them to give back that buffer, "It's easy to argue against an email, but it's much harder to make the argument when you can have the two things and stick them on your face and, 'Tell me this isn't better.'"
I hear you, but I also think it might be a bit myopic to focus too much on aesthetics / visual trends, when the primary value provided by a thorough design system like Material is its coherence and consistency. Building UI on such a foundation can help to prevent some of the unjustifiable, trendy or arbitrary decisions that inevitably arise when there's no underlying system at all.

Serious question for healthcare/nutrition/chemistry experts: how healthy, or not healthy, are milks based on alternative protein and fat sources? e.g. Ripple's pea milk.

Is there any good, easy way for a consumer to know that a particular alternative milk has been produced in an ethical, healthy way?
Huh? Why can't you? It's the engineer's job at a company that deploys an OSS project to test and certify the tolerances, SLAs, and best practices (usage documents, checklists, etc.) for something they choose to deploy, whether or not that piece of software was written by engineers or plain old non-engineer developers.

> We don't need to make sure that our scientists represent every color of the skin spectrum with a representative range of disabilities. We need objective, competent workers, with a diversity of scientific, not cultural views

In terms of getting science done, you are almost certainly right.

However, if we want the results of science to be applied, rather than just remaining of academic interest, diversity among scientists might be important because the members of the general public and the politicians that represent them are probably more likely to listen to scientists who are like them.
That might have been it!
>But any competently inserted intentional backdoor is going to be indistinguishable from a mistake.

Maybe, but without proof it's still just speculation. Real bugs do occur often, and sometimes in sensitive areas.

I understand wanting to be vigilant. In both assuming malice and assuming human error though, you're still forced to make an assumption.

It could be something similar to the Hygiene Hypothesis [1].

Basically the body and immune system co-evolved in an environment with a higher level of dirt, germs, and injury. Our immune system is designed for that more hostile world but now we live cushy sterile lives free from injury most days.

In summary, there is a mismatch between the environment the immune system is designed for and the one it currently finds itself in.

In the same spirit, I made a few "just for fun" plugins for my (now abandoned) encrypted-arbitrary-storage Dropbox-like application Syncany:

The Flickr plugin [1] stores data (deduped and encrypted before upload) as PNG images. This was great because Flickr gave you 1 TB of free image storage. This was actually super cool, because the overhead was really small. No base64.

The SMTP/POP plugin [2] was even nastier. It used SMTP and POP3 to store data in a mailbox. Same for [3], but that used IMAP.

The Picasa plugin [4] encoded data as BMP images. Similar to Flickr, but different image format. No overhead here either.

All of this was strictly for fun of course, but hey it worked.

Not really much in that article that explains anything technically.
The only on-the-record source said that was exactly what happened to him. He assumed at first that Bloomberg had confirmed his hypothetical scenario with another source, but it now seems that the story was hypotheticals and winks all the way down.
For me that is slightly disappointing, I find that there is some real character in that accent. From my (outsider's) perspective it is something classic to east coast American cities. An accent that brings forth unapologetic honesty and "bustin' your balls" kind of humour.
Ask HN: Why is finding a well paid remote position so difficult?
It seems 100 times easier to find a job locally if you are in a big/medium North Americn city. Will working remotely ever take off and if it did, would the global workforce reduce wages so low that most in the western world couldn't afford to take a senior developer job?
Insurance only gets cheaper the larger the company gets, because the risk pool can absorb more risk. Competition doesn't improve it.

A giant problem with getting healthcare through insurance companies is that it's not actually insurance. Insurance should only be used to pay out in catastrophic cases; it's always cheaper to pay for something predictable yourself than to make an insurance claim.

Of course, most people can't afford any healthcare at all. There's no way to insure that.

Dang: "Hyper-Threading technology, as used in FreeBSD and other operating systems that are run on Intel Pentium and other processors, allows local users to use a malicious thread to create covert channels, monitor the execution of other threads, and obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys, via a timing attack on memory cache misses."

Also, found elsewhere:

"According to Linus Torvalds and others on linux-kernel this is a theoretical attack, paranoid people should disable hyper threading"
There's only one on-the-record source, and he only discussed hypothetical scenarios with the reporters.

The other thing we know is that every time Apple, Amazon, and Supermicro told the reporters there was no such chip on the motherboards, the reporters took this as evidence of a huge coverup.

Basically, the reporters believed what they wanted to believe, spinning conspiracy theories to explain the lack of actual evidence.
>“In retrospect, the underwriters should have done a better job at figuring how strong the true demand was,” said Jay Ritter, a professor at the University of Florida’s Warrington College of Business who specializes in IPOs. “But underwriters in general have a hard time finding out how much buy-and-hold demand there is, versus flippers.”

How do they do that effectively?
MMap'd files, and... in-demand paging... are pretty much on every CPU architecture worth making an application for. ARM, POWER9, X86, SPARC, MIPS, and more.

In-demand paging is another situation where a simple pointer-dereference can suddenly turn into a filesystem (and therefore: kernel-level / hardware-level) call.

I can understand your points, but they seem a little odd in the context of where the A220 or E190/195 might be used. You won't find 787 or A380 aircraft flying most of the routes where these smaller aircraft will fly.

On many of these routes the 737 is over provisioned and Boeing is not really winning the deals on the merits. You can see Boeing cozy up further with Embraer since that's been on the cards for a long time and then they'll be able to offer something other than the 737.
