skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
I would point you (and anyone else asking similar questions) to the article I linked above as it's well written and definitely better informed than I am.

Briefly, it sounds like the dataset is not copyrighted, but is also no longer publicly accessible. The artifacts produced from it (the 360 VR app, and this fly-through video) are copyrighted, proprietary products being marketed to schools, for profit.

I'm definitely not opposed to the use of open access data sets in creating commercial products, I think that's a great idea and I've done it myself in the past. But it does seem a shame in this case that the people doing the commercialising haven't done a great job of acknowledging others who've done the really hard work of creating the assets in the first place.

The instructions for getting a TTY login session on the terminal device are now out of date. /etc/inittab is a thing of the past, and telinit q is no longer the tool.

In systemd operating systems, one would instantiate a serial-getty@ttyUSB0.service , tweaked to set the TERM environment variable appropriately.

On systems with nosh service management, one creates and uses an agetty@ttyUSB0 or mgetty@ttyUSB0 service bundle, adjusted with "rcctl set" to set the TERM environment variable appropriately. (What one does on runit/s6 systems is, of course, similar.)

To you it may seem there is little difference between being poor and being financially wiped out. To the person experiencing it, the difference is huge. Among other things, it can mean the difference between struggling to make rent, and not being able to.
Hammertime is the name given to a Unix time with milliseconds. Which is the same as saying the number of milliseconds since 1970. It has finer granularity than a normal Unix timestamp and thus is often used in realtime applications.

According to startup lore, Hammertime was coined by a startup whose founder had an interesting interaction with M.C. Hammer. There was no name given to "Unix time with milliseconds" and while brainstorming ideas (because Unix time with milliseconds is a confusing mouthful), someone suggested Hammertime and it stuck.

The problematic thing for me back then was that it was the final update to OP2 (and on the forums they said that there will be no updates for the OS in the future). That's why it looked like planned obsolescence to me.

I see a lot of people on the internet having an attitude like "geee, it's 3 years old phone, time for an upgrade". All while hardware is still perfectly fine for 100% of the things average person needs the phone for.
People have been building terraria for centuries. You can buy all shapes and sizes in stores, some with fish. Though the fish ones probably don't last after the fish dies.

Most of the significant Euro powers hit around the 2% NATO guide figure, the smaller ones don't, nor does Canada. Germany has some special restrictions on defence. Overall I doubt that deprives us a carrier group or tank division.

Assange published, with zero redaction, military assets. The journalists who wrote about it and activists who protested surrounding it were not jailed. They didn’t have their credit scores dinged. They were allowed to go about their peaceful dissent.

Cleaner example would have been Snowden, who peacefully dissented and responsibly disclosed his leaks. But even then, the comparison would be wrong. Snowden is a single case, and one which one can freely argue shines poorly on American values. The social credit experiments point to Beijing’s ambitions to scale the threat Snowden saw realised against him nationally and explicitly.
Reminds me of Uber ex CEO saying he'd buy every single autonomous car Tesla will build by 2020.

The dream is slowly fading away, Tesla, or any car really, won't be fully autonomous for a long time, Uber economic model doesn't make sense anymore because 90% of it was base don removing drivers entirely. It's like a dream built on top of a dream...

That is not an active effort from Amazon to screw over customers while the article describes a somewhat active effort (when the escalation guy automatically orders a new phone on behalf of the customer). I hope Amazon fixes the rip off fake items problem before they lose customer trust.

I believe the general thought is that at a very simple level, operating as a company provides for a number of protections for the owners/operators. At a societal level, the broad justification for allowing unnatural beings with those benefits is that it still provides a net benefit to society through things like employment opportunities,
taxes and the encouragement of economic activity. If the concept of a company no longer provides any non-trivial benefit to society (for example, no jobs or taxes), why should society collectively provide laws that allow them in the first place?
Comparing your great grandfather’s situation to a poor person today doesn’t make sense to me.

I see in the comments that he has been working on a Quake Black Book, but I hope he plans to eventually do books on other types of games as well, instead of just Carmack/Romero-centric, raycasted first-person games. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a Commander Keen Black Book, but I'd also love to see a Morrowind Black Book or a Secret of Mana Black Book. The series could be really cool if he delved into other game engines and game mechanics.
You are correct, but there is very little incentive to lie. Maybe a helpful family member watered it a few times and never mentioned it. The concept does at least work for a few years as many sources can confirm, and the story is firmly in the plausible range imho. But in typical fashion, the data is scant and maybe contradictory.

The point on HN seems to be; the takeaway, arguing grammar/numbers/journalistic standard, and cooler-topics recently, and this has all 3. (Hyperbolic comments too, in case the /s is not autodetected by the content-bot mentality)
Thinking that a single gene could cause depression isn't fallacious - pinning all depression on it would be.

But a single gene as a possible cause isn't surprising given other more extreme single gene effects with other cognitive and developmental effects - angelman syndrome is marked for its cheerfulness and niceness.

If you were seeking such a gene you would search for anomalous histories of suicides in a family tree.
I see a bike much more than a metro (passengers have almost no control) as a 'freedom-' (you can ride wherever you want) and an 'expression-of-my-will-' (when to ride and where to ride to) device.

It's not only the benefit of physical exercise which often makes riding a bike more enjoyable.
My understanding is that part of the reason this is done, is that you can buy the external PSU module pre-certified for whatever country you need to import the product into.

If you integrate the power supply into the inside of the product, then you need to certify the product itself individually once for whatever standard, and potentially for each country you import into.

Hence Apple can do it partly because of a combination of scale and margin, where-as it's a lot harder for smaller manufacturers to do so in a cost effective or reasonable way.

Having said that, I agree with you, external PSUs drive me nuts. And I love products like the Mac Mini that have it integrated.

Just let's assume the basic tenet is correct - software is a new form of literacy [#]. No I do not believe that people who are functionally or totally illiterate today are useless or should be discriminated against. But the value that an illiterate person in normal circumstances can deliver is dramatically reduced compared to the same person but literate.

And I am simply transferring the same intuition about this to software.

If "Google SRE is what you get when you ask a developer to design an ops team" then what do you get when you ask a developer to design a whole corporation. Or a government ministry?

People who can code are not fundamentally superior to everyone else as you say, but they offer different ways to organise as much as people who 300 years ago were literate were not fundamentally superior to the rest of us, but offered different ways to organise.

So here is my simplest idea - as pretty much everything is being eaten by software, then project management should flow entirely from code. How is Project X doing? Ask the codebase.

[#] Bicycles of the mind if you wish. But something important is happening - its beyond telegraphs or telephones in enabling communication between humans.

> Using time to find ways to connect with different people is important for what may be the most healthy pathways.

Yes. I was going to recommend finding peers who give good feedback and befriending them. Then you can get a more impartial take on something if you are unsure about it.

And, similarly, find some people with less experience and skill and help them. Maybe coach a robotics competition for teens if you are especially junior. Write for and mentor junior professionals as you gain seniority. Helping people is rewarding in its own right, but it also provides some grounding about what skill level everyone else is at.

If you're a software engineer in London with only 10 months of experience, then believe me when I say that £55k is an exceptional offer.

Regardless, for future reference, some basic rules:

1. When asked what your current salary is, divert the question to your expectations instead. For example, "my current salary is one of the reasons I'm considering a new role. Given my experience, I am looking for something in the region of <insert high end of your expectations here>."

2. If you've been made an offer, it never hurts to _politely_ push back and ask for a higher base salary. Example: "Thank you for this. All things considered, I really am excited about the opportunity/company/platform. Having looked at my current expenses and career progression, the salary offered is lower than what I was expecting. I was hoping to see an offer in the region of <number that's at least 10% higher than their offer>. Is this something you would be willing to match?"

3. Unless you really are willing to walk away, put politeness ahead of assertiveness. However, if the salary offered is low enough that you simply won't accept it, then you hold all the power. Make it explicit what the minimum number needs to be and walk away if they fail to match that number.

> By comparison, being effective with HTTP does not require one to know anything about the PHY layer, or TCP stream reassembly.

Maybe not PHY, but you definitionally need to understand TCP, in fact, you have keep-alive and timeout headers that are directly related to TCP. Further more, HTTP/2 is a whole another level of leaky when it comes to HTTP/TCP.

In which direction is causality flowing here, and how do you justify it? We didn't choose our brains––so how do we differentiate the privilege we got from our "class" from the traits we were born with?

Does privilege imply that you got it from your "class"? This seems like a classic nature/nurture fallacy.
>Without risks no rewards.

This is a fallacy. The vast majority of people are rewarded for minimizing risk, not taking it. People justify extra risk for disproportionate reward, not reward in general. You have to take risks if you want relatively unbounded returns. Getting out of poverty does not require that at all.
>I'm shaking my head right now because I can't believe people at the top is still susceptible to sampling/survivorship bias.

Why the disbelief? They are the one who are primed to be the most susceptible to that!

PG and Matthew are talking past each other here.

PG is defining "rich kids" as the spawn on the 1% and is arguing that these kids don't have any significant advantages over more normal people when it comes to accessing funding from VCs etc and that such a belief is harmful.

Basically that there is a point of diminishing returns to being "rich" and that it's probably lower than you think.

Matthew is arguing that being in crushing poverty is probably a barrier to building a successful startup.

Both views can be basically correct.

I’m aware this is a tangent, but I couldn’t find any mention of nuclear weapons in the wikipedia page for Operation Downfall

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

Now, Operation Downfall was supposed to be many, many times larger than the Normandy landing, so the wiki page cannot possibly be complete. If you have some details about the planned use of nukes, could you provide a link please? I’m especially interested in whether the planners envisioned using NBC equipment, in which case an invasion after 48 hours does not sound quite absurd.
Culture matters.

So what you're saying is that humans have no rights. If humans have rights, then there is a point where culture doesn't matter.

Shell companies are not the same as a person working as a "one man band"

For example a company I worked for had a structure where the employees and customers (~250 employees and £50million turnover) were mostly interacting with the named company, but there were three other companies that "onion skinned" the company with the name.

This was done to manage debt, primarily, which then allowed manipulation of taxes.
Yes, basically every news outlet other than Breitbart refuses to publish the racism and sexism of the Googlers in question, instead allowing them to present themselves uncritically in whatever way they like. Why? Because apparently journalists on non "far right" sites (whatever that means) share their biases.

Anyway, let me help readers who may not be familiar with this motley crew. Here are some examples of the comments in question.

Liz Fong-Jones posted internally, "Frankly, I could care less about being 'unfair' to white men" and "I feel that if there's any harm to the interests of white men from that work, it is more than made up for by the benefits to everyone as a whole".

Colin McMillen, also named in the articles, said, "You are posting devils-advocate bullshit along the lines of 'oh no, some hypothetical white man who is just barely above the hiring bar might be intangibly harmed by some Googlers who decided to give marginally more training or education to non-Googler women'"

Kim Burchett said, "In the T5->T6 promo committee I served on, 2/4 committee members were women. Yay! 4/4 members were white. Boo! 12/15 candidates were men. Boo!"

The overriding theme of the leaked comments is that if you're white and a man, you deserve bad treatment and discrimination.

Of course, the perceived need for federation only arises in the first place because the 'Inter'net doesn't actually deserve the name "Internet"—it's just three bead on a string telco networks in a Trenchcoat held together by thought-terminating clichés, of which you'll find plenty over here (and I don't exclude my comment there from that description):

You mean the US-style credit score, right? Because I can't imagine a country that has banks giving out loans without at least credit worthiness analyses that are essentially credit scores, but lazily computed. And lazily-computed credit score is still credit score. E.g. in Poland, we don't have "credit score", except that the bank will happily calculate it for itself whenever you ask for a loan, which means we have to keep our interactions with credits and debts in mind, the same way Americans do.
