> People are not born with social security numbers. A lot of people in the US don't have them.

If you're born in a US hospital, you kind of are born with a SSN; through a program called Enumeration at Birth [1]. It's not mandatory, and many people aren't born in a hospital, and certainly a great many people aren't born in a US hospital.

Enumeration at Birth wasn't around when I was born, I believe my parents had my siblings and I enumerated at the same time; I'd guess when it was requested for school enrollment.

> Or sometimes it’s just about pride: One project that attracted funding was to buy ad space at a professional baseball stadium in Hiroshima, home to Disco’s main factory, for marketing purposes. About 400 workers pooled $140,000 of their own bonus money—or about $350 each—for the privilege to see their company’s logo after work, even though the impact on the company’s bottom line seems doubtful at best

That somewhat conflicts with the prior narrative that everyone is super conscious about measuring everything - then people are throwing (their own) money away in a stupid ad campaign which is pretty much guaranteed to be garbage in ROI.
Buckle up because it'll be a while before ipv6 gets mass adoption and folks will need to support v4 long after that.
It was a very thin ruse, but there's no real conspiracy theory required. The original iPhone was a beta product rushed to market to make everyone else look "last gen". The final APIs, SDK, store infrastructure, and so on was simply not ready. And yes from day 1, rumors were a SDK was coming.
The report doesn't mention how the intrusion was discovered. Someone just noticed the RPi one day? 500mb traffic to a Chinese IP?

Well then the hoped for transmission lines must have been financially ridiculous to build or else it would have been done. If there is one thing you should have leaned about the energy market at this point, it’s that participants tend to favor money over idealism.

If your mental model relies on them choosing fossil fuels over money, it’s wrong.

The 7kWh figure was not mine. However, I see what the intend of the Thread starter was and I think he is right. Streaming video/music on top of 'AI' (to sell more stuff), security theater and Ad campaigns is just a waste of resources.

/s I would bet Bezos and folks can buy fresh air when it comes to this point. But at least we all could watch Game of Thrones when we wanted to.
No, I'm pretty sure the restriction here isn't based on a "disproportionate impact" judgement, but on intent. As long as you have a reason to claim you applied the college degree qualification, you're fine. The minute that a court subpoenas your emails and finds that you added the restriction with the explicit intent of preventing young people from getting the job, you are in for a world of legal hurt.

This is exactly how it works for most other hiring discrimination too. If a court finds an email titled "how we can use a college degree requirement to decrease the number of Hispanics at our company" you have a problem, but requiring a degree isn't itself illegal even though different races currently graduate from college at different rates in this country.

The big push in the media to stereotype boys as computer nerds strengthened in the early 80s. Think War Games and Whiz Kids. I didn’t notice at the time because it was what I was.

Nowadays every computer “hacker” on TV is a really hot chick; maybe the pendulum could come back to center.

> Are you saying you’re unbothered by the disingenuous use of unlimited vacation policies by start-ups and others seeking to avoid payouts on unused PTO while also creating a culture that implicitly pressures workers to take less vacation?

I am saying that I am unbothered by exploiting an exploitative system that is not internally consistent.

If a company tells me unlimited vacation, that means unlimited vacation. If they tell me two weeks it means two weeks. If I am expected to infer that a policy is the opposite of what it says, then how can I remain sane?
As we accumulate small additional likelihoods of Martian life, I wonder if humans will 1) put more resources into manned missions for intensive and flexible study to get to the bottom of these mysteries, or 2) defer plans for manned missions for reasons of environmental preservation/protection (or even fear) and stick to robotic or other light-touch/sterile explorations for a while. Just a passing thought.
There are a lot of people who have been helped by religion though, and to make a fair accounting you need to count them. I know a devoutly Catholic couple who has taken in several foster kids and adopted them because they think it’s the Christian thing to do. Also the beggars who get alms at mosques or the hungry who are fed at Sikh gurdwaras. Or the people who suffer huge tragedies like all of their children dying and get some measure of comfort in religion.

>I was told that the way to go about getting a "loaner" machine is to ship out your broken machine, buy a new one on a credit card, and then bring the new one back once you receive your replacement.

Who told you to do that? (Are we talking, like, a friend? Or an actual Apple employee?)

The only reason I ask is because I thought that was "return fraud."
For those of us who studied the history of racism, sometimes racism can be "rational" but is still wrong.

For example, you may have a small corner shop and have a real problem with your locally hired employees stealing from the till. As a business owner, occassionally you "could" solve this problem by throwing away all resumes and people asking for a job that you get in your inner city, putting an ad up in a suburb and only hiring from there.

But if the suburb is 95% white whereas your local market is 80% black, this might just be a form of racism.

It is tough. You go out of business if your hires steal from the till. It seems so easy to exclude the people who steal (by hiring from a suburb). But it's still wrong.

I feel like subtle racism against people who will take pictures of everything in your lab, even stuff they're not supposed to have access to, and stealing your designs and literally sending them to your competitor to undercut you with and ruin your business, is the same thing.

You could go out of business if you can't compete with the people stealing your designs. The fix seems "so simple".

Still, the fix is wrong and racist. It is wrong to change your hiring policies if it has a racist effect, just as it is wrong to hire only from the suburbs if it has a racist effect. Even if it will protect and save your business.

Subtle racism has no place in hiring decisions.
Escalation. Right dose of escalation is healthy. Our vp at the time complained about things not getting escalated enough (and he is very blunt person, so i believe it).

A lot of the 'terrorist plots' the government has found seem more contrived than meaningful. Eg, cases where if the government had done nothing, then it seems likely that nothing still would have happened.

Certainly we know that funding was taken away from monitoring and investigating white supremacist terrorism networks in the US in order to look for external ones connected to Moslem. And we know that more people and damage has occurred from white supremacist terrorism.

So, from an equally specious argument, perhaps some of GW Bush's policies lead to more deaths from terrorism.

"Rovers scheduled for launch next year -- one by NASA, one by a Russian-European collaboration -- will carry instruments designed to search for the building blocks of life, although neither is designed to answer the question of whether there is life on Mars today."

I don't get it. You'd think that whether there's life on Mars today is the most interesting and important question to answer. Why aren't any of these rovers designed to answer it?
Super interesting idea and hope it goes well.

I’m not sure if it’s just a slew of interviews lately with older individuals or a trend but couple of things to avoid when interviewing that maybe are innocent comments but can def get you labeled as disrespectful.

Things I’ve been called or have had said by candidates in interviews the past three weeks:
- Kid
- “You’re basically a child then”
- Youngin
- ”You’re too young to know this but there used to be...”
— Punch Cards
— Mainframes
— COBOL
- Not taking my questions seriously compared to the older individual I’m interviewing with
- A comment about the fact I’m wearing a t-shirt

So, yes, I do think ageism is a problem in technology but also, there’s a growing issue it would appear with older candidates specifically not understanding how disrespectful it is the other way to assume lack of 15+ years experience somehow indicates I don’t know anything about the origins of computer science, that I’ve never touched low level code before and that it’s okay to use phrases like “you’re too young” and “youngin”.

Sure, but it's hard to quantify, and ok when I think of it there is some linux knowledge from before 2009 I use but really it is spotty.

There is also the whole thing about pattern recognition, you have seen similar things in other systems, but these benefits are conjecture - we can't say how much they apply, we only suspect that they apply at a significant enough level to matter.
I really dislike this mindset in the C++ community. The people writing libraries are normal programmers too. They're not some kind of supermen on whom you can load infinite complexity. And it's not like the STL is this amazing piece of software that mere mortals can't beat. Quite the contrary, any sufficiently large piece of software tends to replace the STL at least in parts with their own implementation.

What's this have to do with HN?
I'm probably missing something, but I think that, for home networks at least, NAT is wonderful because of how it requires some effort to make devices exposed on the external network. If we were given an unlimited supply of IP addresses from the ISP and all devices were accessible externally, it seems security issues in would be a much larger problem.
It's still not a good idea, but they've got a point about birdshot. An ordinary bullet, fired straight up, will come down with enough force to hurt or kill. But each pellet of birdshot is much much lighter, so its terminal velocity is lower. Falling from the sky, it shouldn't do more than sting a bit.

(I haven't done the math, but I know the notion that a penny dropped from the Empire State Building is false; a penny's terminal velocity is too low. And birdshot is a lot lighter than a penny.)

Agreed. In particular when testing any sort of web hooks/callbacks, I get pretty sick of constantly updating configurations as the ngrok tunnels change subdomain.

Self-hosting is also a nice option.
In dense cities you encounter another problem: with too many smartphones concentrated on the small area cell towers themselves can hit their bandwith limits. I actually get better LTE transfer speeds (around 40-50 Mbits/s) when visiting my family in a rural area of Poland than I get in the city center of Warsaw, the capitol.
It is not that simple. Policy can increase or decrease competition. Breaking up Ma Bell as an example.

Overall governments increase standards which can lead to few players but it can also help an industry grow quicker and allow for more complex/value products/services which creates an industry around it helping support it (shopify)

This is great. I am 40 myself, and hired and lead a strong dev team where about half are older than me and about 30% over 50 years old. In fact we have a father and his son working on the same team :)

Anyway my view is that you can’t beat experience if what you care about is a stable system. Good people get better over time.
it sounds like a technicality in the scope if the instrumentation. I'd assume that if you can find the building blocks of life, you can guide and establish the next set of tests. I assume that if there is life, the current test would pass and by being broad it has a better chance at getting a hit if it's there.
I'm not sure the majority of consumers make that second association. I think you're projecting your opinion onto the public.
The ROI improves if your manager would really like you to contribute to the cause.

At some point in my career I was forced to use a closed source compiler from the early nineties. With each new version of Windows it got harder to keep it running. We also discovered bugs in the compiler and had to rewrite our code to avoid them. I quit that job eventually, but I imagine that in one or two more Windows iterations the developers will be forced to compile inside a VM.
I think this is at least partly a political decision. If you bill your new rover as having a mission to find life, then you can fail pretty spectacularly when you don't. Open-ended chemistry testing is more likely to succeed at least partially, and the public won't care or try to interpret results.

In many social contexts it would be seen as weird to have changed from the voice's default (perceived) gender. The default is the only thing that matters really.
My thoughts are that ageism in IT is a natural consequence of not valuing experience.

Rather for many employers what is sought is simply someone, smart, fast learning, motivated, compliant, enthusiastic, loyal, and a good team fit, with perhaps boot camp level knowledge of the latest in shiny framework(s).

Many inexpensive 18 year olds can fit that description well, particularly in regards to their being enthusiastic, compliant and motivated. It helps that these are values that inexperienced managers and interviewers can actually assess, along with (inapplicable to the position) canned answers to questions about data structures and algorithms.
The original purpose of NAT was to get additional devices connected to Internet since we had shortage of Ipv4 addresses. For security, we have firewalls. If we had not been dependent on NAT for security, firewalls would have been actually configured. We will have to configure firewalls with ipv6 anyway.
