PG's essay "What I've Learned From Hacker News"[0] is on point:

COMMENTS: Bad comments seem to be a harder problem than bad submissions. While the quality of links on the frontpage of HN hasn't changed much, the quality of the median comment may have decreased somewhat.

There are two main kinds of badness in comments: meanness and stupidity. There is a lot of overlap between the two—mean comments are disproportionately likely also to be dumb—but the strategies for dealing with them are different. Meanness is easier to control. You can have rules saying one shouldn't be mean, and if you enforce them it seems possible to keep a lid on meanness.

Keeping a lid on stupidity is harder, perhaps because stupidity is not so easily distinguishable. Mean people are more likely to know they're being mean than stupid people are to know they're being stupid.

The most dangerous form of stupid comment is not the long but mistaken argument, but the dumb joke. Long but mistaken arguments are actually quite rare. There is a strong correlation between comment quality and length; if you wanted to compare the quality of comments on community sites, average length would be a good predictor. Probably the cause is human nature rather than anything specific to comment threads. Probably it's simply that stupidity more often takes the form of having few ideas than wrong ones.

Whatever the cause, stupid comments tend to be short. And since it's hard to write a short comment that's distinguished for the amount of information it conveys, people try to distinguish them instead by being funny. The most tempting format for stupid comments is the supposedly witty put-down, probably because put-downs are the easiest form of humor. So one advantage of forbidding meanness is that it also cuts down on these.

Bad comments are like kudzu: they take over rapidly. Comments have much more effect on new comments than submissions have on new submissions. If someone submits a lame article, the other submissions don't all become lame. But if someone posts a stupid comment on a thread, that sets the tone for the region around it. People reply to dumb jokes with dumb jokes.

Maybe the solution is to add a delay before people can respond to a comment, and make the length of the delay inversely proportional to some prediction of its quality. Then dumb threads would grow slower.

I'd totally be a sucker for this type of job description ~6 years ago (32 now, married and a kid on the way).

I want(ed) to build something that made a dent in the world (so perhaps not coffee refills). And somehow making a dent & working long/hard hours were conflated.

A more mission driven company with a similar description would have totally lured me in. :D
Not sure what “two minutes hate” refers to, but whether there is an American analog or not is irrelevant. Or at least, it’s irrelevant from the perspective of the American foreign policy officials who craft the student visa rules which we’re discussing.
Cool, now how much longer do I have to wait to use it?
That intro leaves much to be desired in terms of inviting the reader to what comes after it.
We began noticing erratic behavior with some of our GCE instances at around 11:50 Pacific on the day of the outage, and Google posted a notice on their on their status page that GCE was having an outage about 30 minutes later. They also updated the status page every hour (or when they had new information), which is what they said they would do in their status updates.

While it sucks that multiple regions malfunctioned simultaneously for several hours, I can't really fault them for their communication about the issue.
What if you simply worked on the AST/token level and converted that into pseudocode, assuming you either annotated your functions with a description or named them following some sort of convention? Then you could write your code and then "compile" your source files to pseudocode.

Seems like this could be useful for writing specification documents or anything safety critical..

No, there is no such a rule.

F-1 VISA are _typically_ granted for 5 years, but PhDs may be longer (6 or even more).
Once your VISA expires, and if you go home, you need to reapply for a new one.

For some (a small fraction through), VISA are granted for 1 year or are single entry. Those categories of students sometimes chose not to leave the country, for the risk of getting their VISA denied (and, hence, their whole studies and everything with it) is too high (since they got a short in the first place). This is very common thinking within Chinese or Iranian communities.
Lack of loyalty? Omg where did you hear that? I have T-shirts making fun of our leaders, how did I get abroad?
Yeah, but lots of people including me trust Apple with their data. I sure as hell don't trust your site.
>Are you seriously saying that the children of the wealthiest families in China are "China's best minds"? Please, show me some evidence for this egregious claim.

I've been in programming and systems administration my whole working life, and I've been working in departments that are about half foreign born for most of that time. It's always a kinda weird cultural clash at first, as I look and sound, uh, a little bit midwestern; I've never left the country, and I have zero formal education and come from a family I'd call middle class (outside the bay area middle class) And then you get these very cosmopolitan foreign born people who almost always have advanced degrees working alongside me.

My impression is pretty different from yours. My impression is that, yeah, a lot of these people were raised rich and powerful by the standards of where they came from, and many have the social defects you see in Americans who had serving staff as children. But... generally speaking? they meet or exceed the same technical standards everyone else does for the job. I mean, interviewing is hard, and sometimes they get one that isn't any good, but that's true of all people of all national origins. interviewing is hard, and you make mistakes in both directions, and have to correct later.

Now, I didn't go to school; I don't know if those that aren't any good get failed out in school, or if they don't pass the interview... but I will stand by my statement that if you put in the effort to understand the accents, these foreign students aren't worse than US born candidates. And even if we're just talking about communication, foreign born people I've worked with who were educated at US schools all wrote better than the average US-born person in the same role. I assume that was something the US schools either filtered on or taught well.

I'm just saying; my experience is that these people, one way or another, got themselves some serious education and passed a fairly high intelligence bar, too. There's no way that these are China's minds with the most potential, but they might be among China's best educated minds, and that ain't nothin'

(As an aside, I certainly agree that you overlook a lot of good people if the first step in your filtering process is "has wealthy parents." both China and the US has serious problems with wasting good minds that happen to be born to parents who aren't wealthy. That this has been true for all of history doesn't excuse the truth.)
Yes. Arguably, it's not common, though. But it's certainly possible, and the reason some decide not to leave.
Never said it was totalitarian. I suggested that the censorship was real even if it is subtle. I agree it's not totalitarian. Regardless, you can frame it how ever you want to make it more appealing to left leaning or pro green individuals, doesn't really change the argument just whether or not someone likes the result more.

The issue is, the government/current administration has used its influence to censor ideas and keep the public ill informed of the information of the matter. In this particular case arguably less damaging than China suppressing ideas around Tiananmen and definitely less overt and forceful, but still its happening, been happening really, as I said, more subtle but still in the wrong direction.

And before HN community boots up its strawman arguments (not you), no I'm not also talking about illegal, damaging, stolen, top secret material, etc. I'm talking about information and ideas that harm no and/or are required for the public to make informed decisions.
As someone who also run a service where the only login option is using Facebook, I'm curious about how you regard the negative press regarding Facebook, the recommendations to leave Facebook, and the many users who is sceptic to or has already left Facebook.

Do you have any plans to adopt any other login provider? I would really like to, but other than email/password, I'm not really sure what would be a good alternative, and I'd really like not having any personal information stored at all - email addresses included.

Or statistical noise. This is exactly what you would expect to see if the data were sliced up and compared using a loose significance threshold like 'p<0.05' instead of a tight one like 'p<(0.05/numberOfZipcodes)'. They don't seem to specify this?

>On the flip side over in Linux land I built an 8 core 16T desktop with 64GB of RAM and two 27” 4K HDR monitors for less than half the price of the base Mac Pro.

I am betting at half the price of Mac Pro, it doesn't include support for ECC, and hence Memory aren't ECC, the CPU aren't Server Grade ( Even on the AMD side you will need to use at least EPYC ), motherboard aren't Server Grade, with less PCI-E slot and not a decent case with decent power supply. Yes Ryzen supports ECC, but it is not tested as such, and broad vendor have to do their testing as well. And testing is expensive. ( Hence why Server Grade CPU are expensive )

Honestly I love AMD and loathe Intel. But these kind of comparison all over the internet is like saying I could get a 500hp Nissan GTR over 500hp Ferrari at half the price, but why did we not ever see that argument in Cars forum and only on tech forum.
How will this work if I use non-Apple products (and GOD BEWARE
!) move from say an iPhone to an Android or an overpriced Macbook to a PC?

Once I chose to use Apple-Sign In will I be locked into the ecosystem? Will there be 'Apple-Sign In' for Android?
From the developer documentation, "Sign In with Apple works natively on iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. And it works in any browser, which means you can deploy it on your website and in versions of your apps running on other platforms"

The "works in any browser" and "apps running on other platforms" parts seem to suggest it will work fine on Linux or Windows machines or even Android devices.
As a Dvorak user, I'm already paying these penalties, so switching to another layout wouldn't be that big a deal.

On another note, I'm rather skeptical of Colemak and other layouts that overly resemble Qwerty. It seems almost certain that they're sacrificing some degree of improvement for similarity to the layout most people are already familiar with. That's the main reason I learned and continue to use Dvorak.
It need a better name. Gems, maven etc like. Sgpm could be a starting point.

Just can’t imagine anyone would remember without a good name.
> very unique

I once read a short article by a journal editor, on the theme of contributors describing their work as 'extremely unique'.

Something is either unique or it's not.

If anyone knows the article I'm referring to, I'd appreciate a link, I've been trying to find it again for a year or two.
How is this going to work with all the websites that make you login with your email address? Gonna be super hard remembering them?
Probably not? Sounds like someone hasn’t mingled with other countries elites. Yikes.
If I’m allowed to sterotype, I’d get the russian math major and the American business major for sales, a Swedish HR and some Polish coders.

I think this request is like going to a $60/month gym and asking to only pay 2$ when for days you go the gym because you only use it 10 times a month. The .4% on good transactions is subsidizing the shitty transactions.
AWS's post outrage summaries are pretty much the gold standard.

e.g.

https://aws.amazon.com/message/2329B7/

https://aws.amazon.com/message/41926/

To be fair to Google, they haven't had enough time to perform a detailed autopsy, and some GCP incident summaries have shown meat on the bones e.g. https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/compute/16007. And balancing the scales, the AWS status page is notorious for showing green when things are ... not so verdant.

I have seen full <public cloud> internal outage tickets and the volume of detail is unsurprisingly vast, and boiling it down into summaries - both internal and external - without whitewashing, without emotion, to capture an honest and coherent narration of all the relevant events and all the useful forward learnings is an epic task for even a skilled technical writer and/or principal engineer. You don't get to rest just because services are up, some folks at Google will have a sleep deficit this week.
It makes a difference when overtaking a truck for example. In Germany it‘s possible that the right lane flows with about 85km/h whereas the left lane is used by “overtakers” with about 180+km/h.
You are aware that just makes my point even stronger, right? Thanks to inflation, the labour capital I earn today is worth even less than the same capital earned tomorrow.
Indian lenders have been doing this for a long time. They deny loans to borrowers from certain pincodes, provide loans with lower limits or higher interest rates etc.
If you listen to Conway talk about the Surreals you'll note that he considered it a game (in the game theory sense). He was interested in games of a certain kind and what properties they had, a long the way he stumbled upon this game that we now call the surreal numbers.

Google announced jetpack compose in last i/o. But it seems like it was not discussed here at all. And from other comments seems like developers don't know about it.
I would be interested in knowing what the configuration change exactly was. Which flags did it turn on/off.
I think you're right that changing a person is hard. But I disagree that changing a person's behavior by changing their incentives is nearly as difficult.
Hi. I looked on lever and saw that only the frontend roles are open to remote. Can you confirm this? I'd be interested in the fullstack role.
There's nothing that California can legally do to stop someone from Alaska coming over and staying. But there's plenty that EU countries can do to stop exactly what you described - free movement does come with a range of limitations, like the fact that after 3 months you either have to be employed or have private health insurance to continue "exercising your EU free movement rights". If you don't then you can be kicked out. It's just that no EU country is actually enforcing this law - but it could have done if it wanted to.
Before 2013, almost none.

Recently after BAT(Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) become big, a lot returned. Most of those returned are senior engineers/managers in FAANG. The career ceiling in China for native Chinese is almost nonexistent and overseas experience consider a huge plus. And yes Alibaba paid more then the google counterpart around 2015
While this article leaves it ambiguous, the incident status report[1] makes it clear that customers can expect an actual postmortem:

"We will conduct an internal investigation of this issue and make appropriate improvements to our systems to help prevent or minimize future recurrence. We will provide a detailed report of this incident once we have completed our internal investigation. This detailed report will contain information regarding SLA credits."

I used to really love HN for the good parts. Even back when I first started lurking, you would see waves of mean and incorrect comments, but it ebbed at times. These days the good stuff seems to be getting drowned out more and more. It feels like the polarization of discussion based social media is finally consuming this place like a cancer. I’ll always love the things I learn here, but I’m driven away from the discussions more and more.

Who could blame them? The US is an inhospitable place for immigrants. People won't give them a chance to assimilate. They'll be suspicious of them from the start (like some of the comments here), they give them a hard-time if they don't assimilate right away and won't go half-way to be friends with them.
> the "recovery" was captured by some

As if there's a finite amount of wealth that just gets divided unequally. No. Some people made the world better than they found it.
I just sent a message to the email on your website :)
There should be a governmental agency or something that you can call to get this taken care of. Oh wait, there is. (or at least was before Mulvaney started dismantling it.)

Fascinating! (And on reflection, Blender probably does something similar, since it's super modular and practically every field is in perfect sync with the view and the data.)

> I don't doubt the hardware is top-notch again, but an 8-core machine (I get it's Xeon), with a 256GB SSD and 32GB of RAM with a nice graphics card for $6000 is ludicrous.

I tried pricing out a Dell workstation with comparable features (though still not as fast in any spec), and it came to just under $8000.

> Have we truly moved into $1/ pixel territory?

6K means 6000 pixels wide, not total. It's roughly $1 per column of 3384 pixels.

For high end displays, that price is nothing new. In 2004, the Apple Cinema Display was 2560x1600 at $3299 (accounting for inflation: $4463 in 2019 dollars), or $1.29 (2019: $1.74) per column of 1600 pixels.

Over the 6 years that Apple sold it, the price dropped from $3299 to $1799.
Tokyo Olympics ban posting to social networking
The knee jerk comment is yours. 'Bye Bye Mailinator' is too short to convey anything useful other than the general case, that you believe that you or those that use Apple will defect from Mailinator in droves. The typical use case for Mailinator and the overlap between the Apple eco-system as well as the fact that they specialize in this and that for Apple it is 'just another feature' makes me question whether or not you have thought through the ambiguity in your comment, by taking the most probably meaning and responding to that you have a chance to clarify your position.

Which holds true for both IBM and Microsoft. Both still hold (virtual) monopolies in their respective markets: Mainframes / desktop OS. It's just that these markets are no longer the most important. That's also the reason the EU antitrust law looks at abusing your current power to get a leg up in a new market (e.g. by manipulating search results to promote your shopping service. One of the many things that got Google in hot water in the EU).

It is quite possible for marriage to be bad enough to leave without the partner being abusive. Abuse is about intentional harm, bad relationship about harm. Life insurance does not pay as much money as you imagine either.

When the reason partner have to stay with you is that she would be too poor otherwise, then it is not solved relationship problem. It is locked down person without freedom in bad situation.

> If you marry somebody and then find out too late that you don't like them, that is unfortunate. You made that mistake. You need to take responsibility for it.

Me taking responsibility for my part here is me leaving. It is also often because the other person makes mistakes and when other one refuses responsibility on them, it is not me. Whether abuse or simply partner who ceases to care about relationship (preferring friends, work, video games, hobby, whatever). That can happen with both genders and does.

Abuse escalates after marriage and after having children - precisely when it becomes harder for partner to leave. Abusers of both genders are not necessary stupid and can be very charismatic until they decide they don't need it anymore.

Same with indifference - the part when one decides checking out of relationship and ignoring partner effectively is good decision. Marriage should not be trap.

These are decisions partner made and may be result of them changing values (new friends, new ideology), they are not merely result of personality.

> Lots of men really intend to pull their weight with chores, but it doesn't happen. I think this often comes about due to differing standards, not a refusal to listen to her concerns.

Differing standards are solved literally by talking and listening to other side. She lowers hers a bit, he raises his a bit. When it is not happening, someone is not listening nor caring about relationship part here. There is the part where he cleans something because she has higher standard or because she asked. Or where he explains that he really thinks she is overdoing and she listen.

Frankly, I know only one man whose idea of clean floor is "sticky" or peeling scum. Not when somebody else is cleaning, not in hotel not in restaurant. I live in a culture that generally expect non sticky floors. The differences are not so much in opinions, but more of in habits and actions.
I get where you're coming from but the whole point of getting a Mac is "it just works". I just don't have the time to deal with a Hackintosh. Also from past experience, there's a reason why they sunset older machines. At some point the OS updates are just no longer compatible with the old hardware. The Mojave patch notes that you linked further confirms this.

Another issue is that Windows 10 is now at the point of working decently and it has Ubuntu baked in. Apple also has iCloud sync software for it. I will miss Mac Apps, but given economics, most people just crank out electron apps anyways.

I give up on Apple computers. imo There's no viable option for iPhone or iPad though, so I'll still will be with Apple on some level.
