1. Observes that groups can be more critical of groups that are similar to them than those that are starkly distant

2. Supports point 1 with the example that his liberal circle felt more comfortable reveling in the death of Margaret Thatcher than Bin Laden. And that Russel Brand claimed “Fox is worse than ISIS."

3. Observes an apparent self-criticism in liberalism as evidenced by criticism of America relative to Europe, criticism of whites (by whites), and maybe even blanket criticism of "intolerance."

4. Observes the hypocrisy of being intolerant of intolerance, and proposes that Americans criticisizing America are actually criticizing a different class of Americans, rather than being truly self-critical.

5. Notes that America seems to have 3 "tribes" that roughly align with politics "red" (loving football and such), "blue" (loving higher education and such), and "grey" (being bothered by war on drugs + NSA).

6. Concludes by acknowledging his own hypocrisy, in that his this piece targeting is alleged-in-group (Blue)'s intolerance wasn't truly self-critical. Observes he did the same form of non-self-criticism that he dislikes when Blue-tribe does.
California is an at-will work state, which means that either the employee or the company may terminate employment at any time, with or without cause or prior notice.
Thank you for shedding light on this issue! Even with guaranteed paid maternity leave and working for a global corporate employer that prides itself on ‘supporting mothers’, I returned to the office 2 weeks early for fear of missing work that would lead to promotional opportunities. The undercurrent, particularly in a male dominated industry, is still heavily present that maternity leave delays career growth. Looking forward to hearing more of this type of discussion!

The goal is to get you to look towards the source of the noise...which happens to be a lens aimed at your face. Now they have a clear photo of potential shoplifters.
First, sorry for being rude. I could have phrased that better.

> About the bus issue, I can perceive a bus coming "for free", but not whether it's my bus. I live in a big city, and it's normal for 10 or so unrelated busses to pass by.

I live in a big(-ish, SF is only ~50 square miles) city, but I still can't relate personally to what you seem to me to be describing. I catch the bus a lot, and I like to read books while doing it, and I can and do maintain awareness of my surroundings and the people and vehicles and whatnot around me. I feel it's a matter of common courtesy. It's rude and a little dangerous to enter into a deep trance in a public space like a bus stop, in my opinion.

> And if someone really focuses so hard that they would not perceive a bus, would you really dismiss it as their own issue? What if it's a book rather than a phone? What if it's their child?

So, yes, in the context of a bus stop, while waiting for a bus, if one is so into one's personal whatever that one is surprised by the bus arriving, and this happens all the time, then, to me, it seems like one might have some sort of attention problem.

Look I'm all for software making the world a better place. That is literally my job and lifelong goal. I think you chose some bad examples. I want the robots to do the work and we all get on with Star Trek and sh-stuff. I'm into it. I just want the goddamned robots to work well. As it is now we have guns that shoot their own side, self-driving cars that run people over, IoT that I can't even, etc... and e.g. Mr. & Mrs. tractor-"owners" can't fix their own tractors anymore because there are computers in them now. WTF?

If you want to continue talking about this can we talk about Elm-lang vs JS? I'm not trying to pick on you personally, I'm wound up about the state of the industry.

Simple retaining messages until the client is online was supported since ages, I don't think there is XEP for that but I could be wrong. More elaborate scheme with persistence, multidevice access, paging etc is here: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html

Yes, XMPP has XEP suites that serve the same purpose: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0387.html

I'm guessing the campaign promise to "win bigly" didn't resonate with you, but lots of people loved it.

I suspect you do have an enemy. It might be rural people, southerners, Christians, or people who want to win bigly.

Evolution made humans behave this way. People who supported their tribe against the neighboring tribes got to leave more offspring. Even those killed in battle effectively got more offspring, due to DNA shared with close relatives who benefited from winning the wars.

An interesting take on it:

I just talked to a recruiter and got a tour for several friends and I just so they could encourage me to consider interviewing.

Determined I didn't want to pursue working there in the end because I have ethics, but overall it was the best interview process, best interview questions, and possibly the most fun looking campus I have been to in the area.

Also they use super easy to clone HID cards for all their offices if you did want to pop in a side door and take a self guided tour. Security is not their strong suit. ;)

No, it hasn't, unless you've got some sort of alternative definition of "consistently".
> We know that the existence of God can be found logically, because Gödel wrote a formal proof.

This, of course, is why if you look online there are no refutations of said proof.

I would suggest you're being incredibly pedantic - formal logic being a place far removed from the logic to which they were referring. It seems roughly analogous to me that just because mathematically infinity exists doesn't mean it must exist as physical property.
Glad to hear the update, thanks!
When did a new plant last come online in the US? I think it does count as stopped.

Prior to Watts Bar unit #2 coming online in 2016, the previous reactor was Watts Bar unit #1 in 1996. So that's one reactor in the past 20 years, and 23 years since we last opened a new plant.
You should do some learning on your own and not just read what I post

I interviewed for a position (and got the job) about four years ago for a C#/Angular senior developer and I was suppose to be “speaking my architectural experience into the team”. At the time, the only way I could document 10+ years of development experience was by putting a job I had worked at for a decade doing cross platform C and C++ with a little bit of assembly.

Out of nowhere, after I thought the interview was over, one guy kept drilling me on that type of low level stuff that had nothing to do with the job just to prove how smart he was. I remembered all of it thanks to a decade of dealing with it and too much time on comp.lang.c but it was still off putting.

I’ve since cut all of that stuff off my resume.
If you read the next paragraph, you can see they are talking about political violence. The people who use the "no freedom from consequences" language are intentionally vague about what form those consequences take, and often, those "consequences" are including violent reactions.

People who think it's ok to harass/threaten/attack people because they don't like their speech are in the same boat as people who catcall/harass/stalk women because of the way they dress, because they use the same rationale: "they were asking for it by expressing themselves that way"

Your right to be skeptical of supplements. Supplement companies are completely unregulated, so in theory, they don't even have to put into their product what they say they're putting in.

I feel like where this debate breaks down is in trying to apply the same license to both reusable libraries and finished products.

For a library, an MIT license is much more likely to get it adopted in a finished product that is accessible and maintained. A GPLed library can only get adopted in a GPLed project, which means there may be a ton of economic constraints that make the library's functionality inaccessible to anyone who doesn't have the time or expertise to build an entire application around it.

Also worth noting: to most ordinary people, GPL on a library is like a Post-It that says, "Free—take one!" on the door of a safe. It's nice to have permission, but it doesn't do much good if you don't know anyone who has the combination. The GPL-everywhere philosophy seems to assume a magical utopia where everyone is a skilled programmer fluent in multiple languages.

For finished products, though, an MIT license doesn't necessarily make sense, for the reasons lots of folks here have pointed out; namely, any big corp could compile the code unmodified, brand it, and sell it. If you want to make a complete application free and permissive for end users, GPL seems like the best way to guarantee that.
Actually, yeah, I think that the current hiring process is pretty good at avoiding false positives. But at the expense of a huge false negative rate. I'm seeing a lot of roles in SF sit open for months (even > 1 year!) - plenty of companies just aren't hiring anybody. The best I can tell is that a lot of engineers looking for jobs are young and relatively inexperienced?
Then you challenge the claim in a federal court because you've exhausted recourse in the takings claim. If that's where Texas wants to go, so be it.
Class is definitely a part of it but it is unfortunately obscured by Race. If it were merely a class divide you would expect poor whites to align themselves with other groups that are disproportionately targeted by law enforcement but that doesn't happen.

In fact poor whites are treated quite poorly (no pun intended) by lawless law enforcement in their communities. Ever seen an episode of cops in a trailer park(greatly satirized by the show Reno 911:))? It is disgusting how the cops sometimes behave...even so, have you ever seen a rally of poor whites to protest poor law enforcement treatment?

There is an implied bargain that law enforcement exists to protect [whites] against "threats" from "others" and with that most whites avert their gaze when it comes to law enforcement abuse.

There is a lot more that could be written on this topic, HN is probably not the best forum for that:)

I believe some crypto currencies provide privacy(i.e monero) so a gov fork could work.

Currently most of the governments share the data with various corporations(usually US based such as Visa and Mastercard, SWIFT, plus various national or foreign banks) and US gov agencies so the level of privacy is not that great.

Crypto currencies could also provide transparency and open protocols so I believe a gov backed crypto would be successful in many areas(i.e public procurement)
Observable is great, and I hope more people learn about it and try it out, but I am afraid that outside of the audience of people who already have worked with it a bit, both the title and content of this particular notebook are going to be a bit misleading and out of context. The intended audience isn’t really people new to the platform.

One of the most important things about Observable is that it is mostly just javascript.
> Saying "I don't know" like this in an interview scenario is nearly impossible for most candidates and only serves to humiliate rather than prove their abilities.

with hacker news so utterly convinced that employers have literal powers of life and death over their employees, when do you expect the potential employee to regain the ability to tell their employer that they don't know? after they've quit their previous job and moved across the country? a week after that? six months? maybe after they've got some kids?
"something" = "leverage".

Disprove that.

As a bonus point, leverage is exactly what you may be giving them by licensing with the BSD/MIT/... There's no guarantee that they'll gain leverage, but if they see and seize the opportunity then that's what they'll get.

EDIT: The APL 2.0 is kind of interesting here because it doesn't really do that much over BSD/MIT/... except for the patent grant thing. The patent thing actually brings it much closer to 'acceptable' for me, personally, because a lot of instances of conglomerates exercising their power has been through software patents.
It does cement their power over you even further though. An individual project may not make an appreciable difference, but in aggregate, if lots of people make similar choices, it may have an impact.
Nauty has a clause like this. Which is hilarious because Magma uses Nauty, and the NSA is one of Magma's biggest users if not the biggest. McKay apparently doesn't mind, but refuses to change the license

Open Source failed. It remains as something that is useful to build software, but its political aims were defeated.

The political goal was to give users absolute control over their computational environments. In reality, we have less and less control, because computations moved to the cloud (corporation-controlled servers) and the most used devices regressed to a non-hackable state (mobile gadgets).

Even if you use a Linux desktop with 100% open source software, you will still probably do a good part (and the most sensitive part) of your computations on someone else's computer, that you do not control. Open Source ended up making it easier for companies to build this new world, because it provided them with perhaps billions of man-hours of free effort.

The strategy of Open Source as a political movements made sense in the 1990s, but we need something new for 2019...

as the other comment stated, there isn't much magnesium in maple syrup. Magnesium is not the same thing as manganese. Furthermore manganese is abundantly available in numerous foods. So much so, that it's extremely unlikely that you need more of it.
I really wish tools like this or Jupyter Notebooks were around when I first started studying CS in school. Mixing notes and code is such an interesting use-case.
The couple paragraphs above this citation are also worth reading, in particular:

I find this very troubling. The magnesium supplementation was harmful enough to do a lot of cumulative damage over the months involved, but not so blatantly harmful enough as to be noticeable without a randomized blind self-experiment or at least systematic data collection—neither of which are common among people who would be supplementing magnesium I would much prefer it if my magnesium overdose had come with visible harm (such as waking up in the middle of the night after a nightmare soaked in sweat), since then I’d know quickly and surely, as would anyone else taking magnesium. But the harm I observed in my data? For all I know, that could be affecting every user of magnesium supplements! How would we know otherwise?
You honestly think anyone should be allowed to say anything with zero consequences?

No. No incitement to violence and criminal activity. However, people shouldn't engage in extra-legal censorship of media, unless they are willing to take on all of the responsibilities of a publisher. If an entity claims to be a "platform," there is precedent that Free Speech outweighs property rights.

I'm all for you getting on YouTube "to call a belligerent nazi a pathetic waste of resources." But if YouTube is going to call itself a "platform," then it shouldn't be infringing on your right of Free Speech to do so.

> While that might prevent one bad process from evicting things, it seems like it might almost lead to substandard cache utilization, especially on servers that might just want to run one related thing well.

Right, that's the trade off. Note that it's the same one both Intel and AMD make with the L2, and also what happens between sockets in multi-socket systems. And separation reduces the cache latency a bit because it costs a couple of cycles to unify the cache. But it's not as good when you have multiple threads fighting over the same data.

I should also correct what I said earlier about the Ryzen 5 2500X having one CCX, I had assumed that it did based on core count and cache size but it looks like it has two with half the cores and cache disabled. Which is of course good (can isolate that crap javascript thread) and bad (single thread can only use 4MB of L3, might be worth getting the 2600X instead).

> I would probably buy as a desktop, but not for the servers. Also no avx512 which besides the wider instructions the real gain seems to be in an improved instruction set for them.

If you're buying multiple servers the thing to do is to buy one of each first and actually test it for yourself. We can argue all day about cache hierarchies and instruction sets, and that stuff can be important when you're optimizing the code, but it's a complex calculation. If you have the workload where a unified cache is better, but so is having more cores, which factor dominates? How does a 2S Xeon compare with a 1S Epyc with the same total number of cores? What if you populate the second socket for both? How much power does each system use in practice on your actual workload? How does that impact the clock speed they can sustain? What happens with and without SMT in each case?

When it comes down to it there is no substitute for empirical testing.

When I was 18, I "discovered" three-value Boolean logic by thinking about what it would mean to have three signs in arithmetic. I called them positive, negative and urgative and had a symbol for urgative so I could write expressions. I worked out truth tables and had a lot of fun.

Later I brought this up with one of my math professors and he encouraged me to study methods of proof so I could understand my results better. To his credit, he didn't say "this is already already all worked out," he sparked an interest that led to me studying a lot more mathematics (like abstract algebra and non-euclidean geometry) than I had planned when I started college.
