I’m guessing (hoping, really) that Peter Robb is out at the NLRB in two years and someone far less right-wing replaces him. The biggest issue is that the NLRB hasn’t been pro-worker in a long time.
No idea why this comment would be flagged, so I vouched for it.
I mean include binary data in an image file. So you would have a 300x300px jpg picture of a flower that's 20mb which you could unpack to a binary file.
Sure. It's been a while, but the first one is that comes to mind is when we went over Floyd's Tortoise and Hare cycle detection algorithm. I realized it was a much cleaner solution to detecting cycles in a linked list than a solution I developed on my own over several days.

Another example: the automata class I took went over pushdown automata, and I immediately saw that it would solve the issues I'd been having with a finite state machine I was using to handle input for a game.

Oh and recently I needed to put different sections of a screen on different layers so that no 2 adjacent sections were on the same layer. I realized that this was basically just graph coloring, so I was able to find a solution in minutes instead of hours.

I'm sure their are people who can get through most of a CS curriculum on their own, but I'm not that disciplined. I've also never met anyone who was. It has been immensely helpful.
Just as modern technology has given us cheap, convenient fast food that isn't very nourishing, it's also given us cheap, easy "social" interactions that don't provide real connection.

Social media is a nice compliment to, but not a good replacement for real conversations.

"Success" often seems to correlate with cutting yourself off-- having a nice house with a big TV, a car that takes you to and from your job with minimal interaction with other people, and if people do have a few minutes of free time, they are often nose down in their phones, not taking to people around them.

Especially after you have kids, it's easier to pull up Game of Thrones on your phone than head out to meet people. Is it any wonder that many people know more about what's going on in Westeros than in their own community?

A few years ago I started paying more attention to what I eat, which has been great physically. Over the past year or so I've tried to be more intentional about relationships and conversations. As an introvert, it was weird at first, but it's been amazing. I actually look forward to calling people. (I call it my "Reconnection Challenge" and you can start by calling 2 people per day-- outside of your "have to" calls. Try it.)
Could someone please ELI5 how Google Drive doesn't include text files toward usage?
I literally just googled ADHD doctor, tried to find reviewed, and then scheduled some appointments. You can tell a lot from how they handle the appointment and evaluate you.

If they’re cavalier about just throwing meds at you, I’d probably keep looking. My doctor always counsels that the ideal is to work myself into a position in life where I no longer need to take medication. He encouraged me to bail on it during vacations, if that’s my preference. He interviews and is constantly looking for signs that I should adjust my dosage. If you’re in SF, shoot me another reply and I’ll send you his info.
The American system is basically set up to be paralyzed. FPTP voting leads to two parties, voting for both an executive president and two legislative leaders leads to no single popular outcome, and the Senate exists to stop anyone from doing anything.

Having Mitch be majority leader makes it worse, but you can't solve it by getting rid of him. He's not blocking things because he feels like it; it's his job.
Actually the presence of non-Anglo-Saxon vocabulary in English is not because of English “stealing” anything, but because England was colonized and ruled by non-English-speaking people for centuries.

I.e. saying English stole from French is a bit like saying Hindi, Irish, or Navajo stole from English. Gets the power relations completely backwards.
I clicked your link and at first kind of brushed it off as dubious since the only linked source is a press article, but the article is an interview with Ken Silverman himself! So that's pretty credible.

The source of the released game is available, so it should be possible to check, except that it's a huge mess (check out BUILD.C).[1]

Seems weird that no-one has actually verified this when it could be the first game ever doing CSP. The only other sites I can find mentioning it are just quoting your linked Wikipedia page.

"I manufacture and sell product X."

"I make painful business process Y easier."

"I insert myself in friendships to market targeted products and services to you."

One of those has bad faith built in at the core. Taking a friendship and converting it to discrete monetary transactions for some VC/founder cheapens the very thing that friendship is. And it tries to erect a paywall as a default normal for "friend interactions", or at minimum normalizes such behavior.

If there was any good faith, it was dismissed like the way this founder did to the root sarcastic comment. We all should have known there would be some entrepreneur to throw friendship in the pit to gain a bit more money/power.

Base64 is such a wonderful gift.

Back when the commercial internet was just getting its act together there were companies that would give you free online access on Windows 3.1 machines in exchange for displaying ads in the e-mail client. (I think one was called Juno.)

The hitch was that you could only use e-mail. No web surfing. No downloading files. No fun stuff.

But that's OK, since there were usenet- and FTP-to-email gateways that you could ping and would happily return lists of files and messages. And if you sent another mail would happily send you base64-encoded versions of those binaries that you could decode on your machine.

The free e-mail service became slow-motion file sharing. But that was OK because you'd set it up before you went to bed and it would run overnight.

Thank you, whomever came up with base64.
What a great summation of the internet in the 90's: "Client. User's modem. ISP's modem. Server. ISP's modem. User's modem. Client. God, that sucks."

Then followed by Carmack's 90's internet experience: "Ok, I made a bad call. I have a T1 to my house, so I just wasn't familliar with PPP life. I'm adressing it now."

:p

for me, it's like dora the explorer -- just lots of noise, triggering some visceral response in me of "turn it off now, mute it, make it go away" akin to many people's aversion to certain forms of advertising, or nails on a chalkboard.
Depends on your definition. They are dominated by big money people in extractive industries, whose entire purpose in life revolves around reducing overhead.

Most conservatives are, well just conservative people who have a point of view. They don't call the shots though.
I kinda like pea protein, but you know what’s really great? Fresh peas! They’re delicious.
This needs to be preserved in history as a quintessential crypto project splash page. A lot of claims that are clearly sensationalized (to the point of bullshit), buzzwords everywhere, a lot of focus on what interests crypto people, very little focus on the things that real users care about (how do people find my website?) and zero acknowledgement that there are tradeoffs to consider.

It honestly feels like a Pied Piper joke. A UI that is obviously built by engineers for engineers. Phrases like "It's nowhere because it's everywhere!".

Not to be negative about the technology itself which seems neat, if a bit oversold.
So, why don't we consciously reject this current course, and set up some social spaces in our communities? Perhaps a franchised non-profit, where the costs to join are just enough to cover the rent. Something like Rotary Club, but for the modern age.

Or, maybe even better, design new towns that have public spaces, and are dense and walkable, with mixed commercial and residential zoning? Like basically any European town. Maybe even banish cars to garages on the outskirts, so that kids are safe to roam around.

Just spitballing here, but it seems like there's some demand for something. WeWork seems to tap into some of that demand, but it's kind of a sad commercialized replacement for something more community driven.

There are 2 main competing hypotheses to explain this. The first one is that these words are historically related. The other one, which is controversial, is that these are the result of Sound Symbolism:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_symbolism

In particular sound symbolism hypothesizes that the initial "m" of many similar "mother" words is related to the sound of a lips sucking milk, like the verb "mamare" in Latin meaning "to suck".
In reverse order to your post, I will concede that some unions have become too entrenched, but employers have rights too, and if they have an actual documented case against an employee, they can fire them.

Jumping back; They weren't trying to shift blame onto a contract, they were nearly stating a fact: Unions usually have an obligation to defend everyone as part of their contract. although were mistaken in saying that it was in a contract, when it is actually part of founding principals of unions -- As the NLRA defines a labor organization as a group "[...]in which employees participate and which exists for the purpose, in whole or in part, of dealing with employers concerning grievances, labor disputes, wages, rates of pay, hours of employment, or conditions of work."

dealing with employers concerning grievances, labor disputes -- it is the entire purpose unions were formed. You replied with a remark to the effect that companies had no say.

Maybe I read your tone wrong, but I read negative, and decided to go with a snotty reply, "who cares what they ask for", which could have been thought out better -- but is the whole point of this in the first place: Unions don't support bad behavior, or reprehensible actions as you say, unions protect you through the process of being accused or actioned upon, despite the reason. They exist to handle disputes. Simply that.

I am curious which union you belonged to
Yes. Intel dismissed it at the time, saying that "nobody would ever have untrusted code running on the same hardware on which cryptographic operations are performed".
Remote positions often (not always) pay less because many more people are competing for the same job, and some of those people have suburban or rural costs of living.
I don’t perceive “Quesadilla” as being foreign at all. It’s just as English as any other English word.

Some words that are fully considered English have an even more convoluted history than this. The word for “chocolate” came from Spanish, and came to Spanish from Nahuatl which is completely unrelated to English, and may (though it gets obscure here) have in turn come to Nahuatl from an unrelated Mayan language.
At least a totally separate account. Probably better to use a totally separate set of IP addresses and browsers and maybe even computers. Google will definitely link accounts created from the same browser and potentially ban your main account if you violate their TOS on another account also owned by you.
Anything that persists can be used to store arbitrary data... I remember (around a decade ago now, I'm not sure if these still exist) coming across some blogs that ostensibly had images of books, details about them, and links to buy them on Amazon and such... I only understood when I came across a forum posting from someone complaining that his ebook searches were clogged with such "spam blogs", and another poster simply told him to look more carefully at those sites, but not to say anything more about his discoveries. You can probably guess what you got if you saved the surprisingly large "full-size" cover image from those blogs and opened it in 7zip!

I feel less hesitant about revealing this now, given how long ago it was and that more accessible "libraries" are now available.

You'd want to make sure the coding scheme is in the identifiable visual data. Think QR codes.

The only thing QW really added over vanilla "netquake" was client side movement prediction. Hitscan weapons (infinite velocity bullets) only let you know if you had hit or missed based on the response from the server. You had to lead your shots a certain amount based on your current latency in order to hit your target.

It was great though. It meant you could bunny hop around corners at extremely high speeds without running into walls.
I know, and I use PayID frequently; but it has shortcomings, mostly that nobody seems to know about it. Additionally, PayID only works within Australia, and effectively only to people you know personally (mobile numbers are not typically public information).

I love PayID for what it is, but it could be well improved in my first example, and doesn’t work at all for the latter.

Before I started working from home full time I had a 15 minute bike commute. There's a friendly coffee shop across the street. I can walk to the grocery store. There's an awesome microbrewery and restaurant across the street.
> 1. Deregulate the health insurance market so you can sell across state lines.

I've always found this suggestion a bit disingenuous.

First, there is no federal law that bans insurance from being sold across state lines. What they really mean (but can't say because it is not politically appealing) is "Don't allow states to regulate insurance sold in their state."

State boards regulate insurance. They seem to do it well. No insurance companies failed during the 2009 financial crisis and the ones that came close (looking at you AIG) did so because of their activities and investments that fell outside of the state regulations.

Not allowing states to regulate insurance would reduce costs, but not for the reason you think. The cost of getting a product approved in a given market is predictable and a very small part of the cost of doing business.

By taking this right away from the individual states, we could see a race to the bottom where all insurance companies would incorporate in whatever state offered the lowest reserve requirements and loosest oversight. This would decrease the cost of policies and increase the profitability of the insurance companies.

It would be great until there was a hard year and the insurance companies would have the be bailed out by the taxpayers.

State regulation of insurance companies is a great thing. The states keep each other in line and they keep the industry solvent.

Edit:
BTW, auto insurance is also regulated on the state-level.
Cisco hasn't had a good reputation for awhile IMO.
I agree. As a society, when it comes to "the children" we tend to overreact and overprotect. We also tend to compete and judge other parents about it too.

I'm a manager in SRE at Google, and one of my reports went to 50% time in Q4 last year.

So far this has worked quite well, and the support the company has provided to me as the manager, and to the report has been excellent.

There are some tooling issues (especially around oncall) - but otherwise it has been quite a smooth transition.
Suppose you are running a booking system for ridesharing. When you want to lock-in a passenger's seat, it's possible that consistency can be violated when you do it at the application level: both A and B request a seat after a query returns that there is a seat available, then simultaneously lock-in their reservation after seeing stale data.

This is a solved problem.

function reserveSeat (customerid, seatid)
{
lock
{
updatedRows = update seats set customerid = {customerid} where id= {seatid} and customerid is null

return updatedRows == 1
}
}

Yes pretend scarfaceScript takes care of sql injection vulnerabilities and “lock” makes sure that only one thread can enter the block at any given time.
No out-of-order speculative execution, no bugs of this exact sort, expect maybe you'll find something in the odd corners of special features. As far as I know (don't follow them much) Atoms are based on the Pentium super-scalar architecture, which is a "supercharged 486" that allows the CPU to do more than one operation in parallel on different execution engines.

Per Wikpedia, "The Pentium has two datapaths (pipelines) that allow it to complete two instructions per clock cycle in many cases. The main pipe (U) can handle any instruction, while the other (V) can handle the most common simple instructions." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P5_(microarchitecture) )

HT uses two instruction decoders to keep more busy a set of execution engines, suppose you had the above set of 2 execution datapaths (that may be improved on these Atoms), and couldn't do two operations at a time from one instruction stream, but the other could use the unused datapath.

If pea protein constitutes a large portion of your protein intake, aren’t anti-nutrient phytates still a concern?
OK, I did see that.

But I don't understand why Google would do that. For most users, aren't Google Docs files a substantial part of their usage? Or do people mainly store backups?

This is a great point. And the irony is that the more discursive the environment is, the less people feel heard, the more loudly (at least metaphorically) they speak, in a vicious cycle. This doesn't fulfill the need for conversation and interaction.

(Some people suggest that the rise in therapy for wealthy urban people is largely because this is the easiest way for some people to have someone actually listen to them. I don't know if it's true but it seems very sad.)
I understand what you are saying regarding the relationship between income and benefits. I think it is actually somewhat worse than you suggest due to the various step functions in the benefit calculations -- an increase in wage income can actually result in a larger decrease in benefits.

In the absence of a minimum wage constraint, and all other things being equal, a change in government assistance is going to result in an opposite change in the market wage rate. This is just a statement of market mechanisms. When the labor pool has access to higher benefits, it is easier for an employer to find someone willing to work for a little less than before (and vice versa).

The two situations are somewhat different though. In the first case you are talking about an individual moving themselves into a different market (unskilled/untrained labor to improved skills/experience, for example). Ensuring that this progression isn't penalized via overly aggressive reduction in benefits is a good thing irrespective of any minimum wage constraints. In the second case you are talking about a global change to the market constraints for all participants.

So I was just responding to the parent to say that when the government changes its "formula" for benefits, it is entirely reasonable and expected for the market to find a new equilibrium. This isn't an example of Walmart or any other employer "using federal money to subsidize their workforce". This is just the market doing what it does.

As for your minimum wage concerns, a minimum wage prices some people out of the labor market entirely. Someone with minimal skills or experience won't be able to bring enough value to an employer to cover the minimum wage. I think it would be much better to get rid of minimum wage rules and adjust benefits accordingly. It makes more sense for someone with minimal skills to have a job (and thus a path towards more skills) and some additional public assistance than to have no job at all and be 100% dependent on public assistance.
The US IC and DHS clearly have strategic reasons for wanting to crack down on Russia, as evidenced by the strong level of centrist support for doing so.

Crowdstrike decided to make a series of announcements expressing confidence that there had been Russian state sponsored attacks on the DNC server, and did not offer any evidence of it.

When the US IC released its report, the report referred to the Crowdstrike findings, but also excluded evidence. The report appears to have been copied and pasted from previous releases, and contained virtually no useful information.

Yes, you can trust the US IC that the attack was a state actor quality, Russian sponsored triumph, but these are the same experts who helped sell the Iraq war. We learned very importantly during the Iraq war that we should simply not trust their claims without hard evidence.

They are now trying to sell a war against Iran, and will ilkely use many of the same techniques and tactics to do so.

I despise Donald Trump at least as much as anyone, but I think the Russia narrative was mostly unsubstantiated and largely overblown. Why? Not due to a conspiracy, but for the same simple reason that anything Iran does at present will be framed as highly aggressive and a reason for war -- the centrist view wants it.

It's important not to involve Trump in the reasoning about any of this. Trump liking or encouraging something, or disliking it, etc., has no impact on whether or not it is true. Trump is a clown who should be ignored.

Crowdstrike most likely enjoyed getting a lot of PR for "finding" the Russian attack. But I have yet to see evidence that the attack was actually Russian state actors and was not either someone else spoofing them or a sloppy third tier amateur funded by some pro-Russian oligarch (or similar).

To those promoting the "get tough on Russia" narrative, it doesn't matter, Russia is Russia and it is threatening. But I think we should all take a step back and realize that most parties involved in this have some skin in the game and are apt to use the factual uncertainty to make claims that support their agenda. I'd argue that even the specific attribution of the attack as Russian, and the implication that the server was only attacked by one government/group is agenda-driven, IMHO.
Curious,any reason why I see similar articles on HN?

The topic resonates strongly with me, is it especially a problem with tech workers?
