What does it matter what the UA does with the information? The point is that the information is supplied; the UA can provide whatever benefit from it that the user wants from it.

For example, I was just thinking that forum software could have their backends scrape image links you attempt to embed; and, if they find that the link has a sunset policy (e.g. it was from an anonymous image upload service that expires posts after a week), then they could rehost the image instead of hotlinking to it. (Or, cache the image for now, and then rewrite the link from a hotlink to a cached link when the deadline hits.)

That’s not something you would standardize behaviour on. But, once you have servers providing the information—not to a particular client, but just spewing it out as an objective fact out into the world—clients can do all sorts of things.
right, you have to lead by example. don't even need to start with camping. just go out for a few hours and explore your property. map the borders, follow the creek.

It's wrapped in <pre> tags because it is preformatted text of the type that would be used in email, etc., announcements (probably becauae it's the exact text from those media, without transformation), so not using <pre> would lose significant formatting.

Of course, the formatting is broken anyway, because two of the continuation lines of bullet-pointed lines are underindented by one space.
So not free, then.

Thanks for the calculation! I think limiting it to the 24 execs is still a bit on the conservative end of things (as far as equalizing pay goes), but it's interesting to think on.

I'm actually surprised how merely broadening the calculation a bit already results in a quite significant amount. 5k is quite a bit!

Anyways, thanks again :).

Are there documented, successful uprisings any time in the last 100 years that hinged on private firearm ownership? People say "yeah well look at Iraq and Syria" and so on, but all the examples I know of of even a sort-of successful resistance involve one or more of: part or all of the military siding with the revolutionaries; foreign governments shipping in arms and/or providing assistance like no-fly zones; an opponent that for political (see: foreign intervention) or moral reasons won't do anything nasty enough to win (decimation, 500-for-1 reprisal killings, hostage taking, starvation, that kind of thing) which one supposes some hypothetical super-evil US government would do in a civil war.
Show HN: I built a job board for marketers in tech, SaaS, and e-commerce
The Brexit act grants huge powers to amend law through statutory instrument ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_(Withdrawal)_Ac... ), although I'm not quite sure whether that applies here.
I was talking to a founder of a SaaS company recently who was trying to figure out where to post their new job opening and realized that there isn't a central place for both remote and in-office marketing jobs.

So I decided to build it myself! And I built it all with no-code/low-code tools like Webflow, Google Sheets, Typeform, Zapier, etc. (hate on me)

Anywhoo, if you're a marketer, check it out!
I don’t think this is intended to be about endpoints, but rather about the resources under an endpoint. E.g., “this image will be deleted from this image-hosting service in 30 days” or “this is a link to an item in your Dropbox Trash folder, and the Trash is emptied every 48 hours” or even “this is a temporary share link and will work for 24 hours.”

Given these use-cases, I could also see the use of a version of the header that doesn’t specify when the retirement of the resource will happen, but just specifies that the resource is, by design, not going to stick around forever. E.g. the URL of a “previous version” of something, where the system only keeps around N previous versions (so as soon as someone adds enough newer versions, the version you’ve linked to will disappear.)

Another fun use-case is sticking this header on everything on a given domain (by e.g. reconfiguring your web load-balancer to emit the header.) Archive.org could then use this as a signal to automatically prioritize archiving content from the domain, before any human being realizes the service is being retired and prioritizes that archiving.
I doubt most people can maintain productive focus for 12h every day more than a few consecutive weeks. They may at the beginning but fatigue sets in and by the end they are less productive than after a good 8h day. I’ve seen it in others, I went through it myself. Perhaps in some fields it’s different but I doubt it.

Even playing games 12h every day means you start making more and more mistakes than a fresh gamer. I’d say normal work will be even more tiring and stressful given the higher stakes. Especially for a knowledge worker.
It's perfectly legal to discriminate against the candidate for this but also perfectly legal for the candidate to talk to the media about it.
Every dollar in issues debt is effectively multiplied. When you turn back the knobs even a little bit, you’d be surprised by the amount of contraction. The “dodgy” money being described is more or less the froth that ends up at the very top.

The danger is that with such a long bull market, only God knows how many non-survivable companies there are beyond the Ubers and Lyfts.

What’s unsustainable will have to end eventually. Pushing money into the system doesn’t make the economy magically better by itself.

I agree that more modern climbing gear is fantastic and definitely gives me a great deal of confidence when I am pushing my limits, I don't think that it would stop me from pushing at all.

Even using gear from 30-40 years ago, it is possible to climb with relative safety, the new gear is mainly only an incremental improvement in safety.

That's not to say that I would happily take a fall on older equipment, just that the main element of danger is generally not the equipment but the surrounding environment.
Slight difference that makes it all the more interesting: the remote controller watches 10 vehicles at once. I feel this is the same difference as a manned vs unmanned subway, because it means reliability is good enough that you don't need one human per vehicle. Each vehicle is a little bit more autonomous.

Also, the safety net inside the vehicle is clearly just for testing purposes, while the remote safety net is something that can be done in production.
Oh, that makes sense. thanks!
How else would you use the word "nadir"
Did a little more digging around this and discovered https://www.met.police.uk/live-facial-recognition-trial/ through Reddit.

“Live Facial Recognition uses NEC’s NeoFace technology to analyse images of the faces of people on the watch list. It measures the structure of each face, including distance between eyes, nose, mouth and jaw to create facial data.

The system detects a face, creates a digital version of it and searches it against the watch list; where it makes a match it sends an alert to an officer on the scene.

The officer compares the camera image and the watch list image and decides whether to stop and speak to the person. We always explain why we’ve stopped someone; we also give them a leaflet that explains how they can contact us to ask any questions afterwards.

The system will only keep faces matching the watch list, these are kept for 30 days, all others are deleted immediately. We delete all other data on the watch list and the footage we record.”

I regret to inform you the dictionary definition of censorship generally does not include tweets, so a literalist reading invalidates both our positions.
First off these mediums are mostly controlled by state regulated entities, meaning that it was mostly used for state sponsored propaganda.
It's not like I can press 696 on my TV remote and dial on ISIS-TV with live executions.

Second, yes, they did exist, and they also did increase the reach of ideas over what was available before them, so what's your point ? You're basically extending my argument.

Progress in communication technology means increased propaganda / hate speech / whatever reach. Now you have two choices, do nothing, or try to curb down their reach. Should we be ok with live executions on twitch/yt/fb ? You're free to think that we should, but I'd argue most people are against it.

This is a major component of software's power – it's a tool for formalizing knowledge and skills permanently and distributing it rapidly at ~0 marginal cost. If a piece of software is both correct and performant, it can last a very, very long time, possibly outliving its creators. And the best software composes, so one program can build on top of another to build up a massive skillset.

In Norma Rae, the main heroine is promoted to a supervisor (with a higher salary) in order to alienate her from others and suppress her pro-union stance. I suspect a similar dynamics can also happen in Walmart.
Unlike Word I actually spent a few years of my life working on this.

At the surface layer this era of Excel ("BIFF" documents) isn't too bad, getting say, a table of small integers representing people's annual salaries out of an XLS file is very do-able and many programs today will get that right.

As you start to dig down it gets nastier pretty quickly. Formulae require implementations that match not just what Microsoft's published documents (I have loads of these on a shelf I rarely look at now) say, but what Excel actually did, bug for bug, back in the 1990s. Maybe the document says this implements a US Federal tax rule, but alas Excel got the year 1988 wrong, so actually it's "US Federal tax rule except in 1988".

You also run into show stoppers that prevent the oft-imagined "Just transform it to some neutral format" because Excel isn't a typed system. What is 4? Did you think it's the number 4? Because the sheet you're trying to parse assumes it's actually the fourth day of the Apple Macintosh epoch in one place, but in another place uses it to index into an array. Smile!

Finally in complicated sheets (often "business critical") there's a full-blown Turing complete programming language, complete with machine layer access to the OS. Good luck "translating" that into anything except an apologetic error message.
Has it ever worked in that order? It seems like most current democratic countries first cleaned up the country and then introduced a democratic government. I’m thinking of recent democratic countries in Asia, like South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore.

Or if they did start with a democratic government, to limit the voting to certain groups, like the US, Canada, and Australia did before universal suffrage.

Are there any successful countries that haven’t “cleaned up” first but introduced universal democracy?
5k is definitely a lot!

You have to be wildly fantastical to get there, though. Meaning it's not a number that should be taken at all seriously as anything other than a work of numerical fiction. $250 is a number that's likely much closer to reality, though probably still too high unless you can find a much broader swath of people to freeze the salaries of.
Social media companies aren't natural monopolies. There are no intrinsic high fixed costs, for example. The only significant barrier to entry is lock-in of existing users via their social graph, but that barrier is entirely artificial - Facebook could be a part of a larger federated network, for example, it just chooses not to (but could be forced to).

> Alex is wearing modern climbing boots

As a climber this hurt me a bit to read. They're not boots, they're shoes John!

Also I'm glad that the movie is successful, and that the sport of climbing is getting mainstream attention, but personally I'm more impressed by the accomplishment of Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson in free-climbing the dawn wall with protection. In my mind that is a better representation of the highest level of achievement within the sport. Climbing without protection has more to do with being a daredevil than a climber, and while I understand why it's so impressive, I am conflicted about this particular achievement being celebrated and potentially emulated.

Pedantry aside, the article makes some interesting points.

Could this same problem be solved by using Apache Arrow, to convert to/from pandas, and cut down the complexity in the process?
This is part of why I object to the dilution of the term "right" with the modern, European concept of creating new rights to suit a political agenda. Basic liberties are a very narrow category as laid out in the Bill of Rights. "Owning your data" is not a right in the sense in which your parent comment was speaking, certainly not in the same way as the Right to Bear Arms.

In other words, there is a big difference between the classical sense of a "right" as a moral first principle on which a nation was founded and the modern sense of a "right" as a political expediency which a politician wishes to give to candidates.
In economic theory, this is what’s known as an efficiency wage. If you pay more, there’s more competition for your openings and you attract a better class of employee.

As other comments have pointed out, simply raising the minimum wage doesn’t accomplish the same thing. Instead, all those people who were marginal at $7-8/hour simply don’t get hired, and employers use automation or forego the opportunities that additional labor offers.

Scaling out is natural when you have a large number of tasks, but it's not always an option when you have one big task. Maybe you need to sort a giant collection, or hash a giant input, or multiply a couple giant matrices. Threads with shared memory can get to work on those problems easily, but separate processes can't, at least not without trying to reorganize the problem to avoid doing tons of IO.
Look at Apple. People are buying their over priced products years now. If you compared them equally based on the actual hardware and leave their software out, you'll clearly see that market is offering you the same products at half price. If Apple release a laptop at 5K$ with a 4K screen and a (hypothetical) screen keyboard or something fancy, people will go crazy and start buying it.
I think what you are identifying as incompetence is, in fact, well-aged malice.

The greedy behavior that leads to the kind of inequality faced by today's society is now so well established that it has become hard to recognize for what it truly is.

The fact that this article's author seems to find it novel to trickle down the proceeds of the company to the bulk of it's employees is a pretty good indication of that.
In that case I guess it's up to Wheaton's law. It is much less distressing to accept designating people with pronouns one believes to be wrong, than to be designated with pronouns that mismatch one's inner identity. Purposefully distressing people is kind of being a dick, and the amount of dickishness should be curbed, so the conclusion naturally arises.
Cool details for pros and a perfect intro for newbees.

One important difference is that in the MCU world interrupt handlers need to be really short and fast, because often various classes of interrupts are blocked from occurring while an interrupt handler is running. A common pattern is for the interrupt handler to just set some bits to say “this occurred” and return. The bits are then checked and handled in the main loop.
Did you even bother reading the article? It basically states that we haven't learned out lessons from 2008. Was the 2008 crash because of fed interest rates? No, it was because of poorly designed high-interest junk bonds. The article says the same behavior that caused the market to tank in 2008 in happening again. Furthermore, if we take a look at past crashes we can see that there has been quite a few that were caused by the same issue, the early 80s Savings and Loan Crisis, the 89 bust of the high-yield bond market, the Dot Com Bubble of the early 2000s, and the Financial crisis of 2008 we all caused by Junk Bonds NOT the Fed.

Additionally the idea that new money flowing into the system from 401Ks, IRAs, etc is extremely naive. These are long term investment instruments sure but as they are generally not actively managed they are not immune to fluctuations in the market and the market is not immune to people who have the misfortune to retiring in an economic bust. I have observed this in the second person as my grandfather was well to do before 2008, did not listen to my advice to allocate his retirement money to a guaranteed interest plan until after the market hit bottom (which was the wrong time to do that) he basically lost 500k.
You should detract from the author's point, because it only works if you are largely ignorant of how things like this actually happens. It is essentially always not generics, but specifics. Specific people doing specific things in specific places with specific technology and culture. Without knowing much of the "extreme climbing community" I would bet that it is a rather specific group of people and largely non-existent outside of that.

The author is largely trying to sell exceptionalism. That everything will be fine with generic improvements. Yet, of course that isn't true. Both state of technology and the economy is probably better than ever yet deliver less and less value. Chances are people like Alex Honnold did it despite of the policies of this economist.

> And now, the technology of the internet. Each new idea in rock climbing is accessible quickly all over the world. Without that large group of interested people, this communal knowledge would not have advanced so far. [The Article]

> After a year, he dropped out of Berkeley and spent time living at home and driving around California to go climbing. "I'd wound up with my mom's old minivan, and that was my base," he said. "I'd use it to drive to Joshua Tree to climb or I'd drive to LA to see my girlfriend. My orbit was tiny and really cheap. I destroyed that van fairly quickly; it died on me one day, and for the next year I lived just on my bicycle and in a tent." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Honnold
Is there a reason to not store the document in an abstract format that is more easily handled by systems useful for legal analysts (e.g. giving you the ability to diff text), and just “renders” to the accepted format? (I’m picturing storing the docs as LaTeX, but anything like that would work. Maybe there could be a legal “theme” for a markdown processor, for example.)

Because, in such cases, it wouldn’t really matter if the editor renders the source to text incorrectly, as long as the proofer renders it correctly. Just like with WYSIWYG desktop-publishing software.
Yes but what he’s saying is that if you take that money from high executive pay then you can offer both. You have three variables rather then just two, most businesses ignore the executive pay. That’s where the example breaks down. Now if you want to keep executive pay high then yes a lot of people select price over service and you are correct. But those aren’t the only two variables then it’s a lot more variable. Pardon the pun.
I don't think it's a matter of shame, but it's a matter of realizing that while it may have been hard work, it was also a fair amount of luck that got you to where you got to be, and that a lot of people put in the same amount of work, but due to the fates they don't end up in the same place.
