I have, in the last year, twice been hired then found myself way under-utilized because the company wasn't really ready to do anything with me, or the thing they hired me for fell through, or whatever. A few years ago I was brought on to a mid-sized business software company as part of an acquisition, and in the short time before I ran away was used at maybe 1/8 capacity in the most anti-productivity low-wall-cubicle open-floorplan office I've ever experienced.

Organizational/planning/managerial waste of expensive developer time is real and huge. I'd be surprised if companies the size of Google didn't do similar things some of the time, and if their management's a little more clueful than average they might even make such light-weight or non-assignments official and highly visible to make them easier to account for.
I know the internet really loves muh aerospace standards but there's reasons vehicles that travel in two dimensions don't need to abide by those standards. It would be prohibitively expensive and overkill most of the time. There's tons of stuff that isn't allowed on aircraft and a lot of it traces back to being able to verify/inspect what was done and allowing a chain of custody so problems can be traced to the source. This isn't as necessary for two dimensional vehicles that only last 20yr.

Zip ties are mostly not allowed for QC reasons. Some people will crank them tight and some won't. They won't really cause much chafing if properly installed because the wires shouldn't be moving enough to chafe. There's tons and tons and tons of aftermarket wiring in work trucks out there that's been installed with zip ties and it's not any less reliable than OEM wiring.

All but the worst electrical tape will take 20+yr to come apart even in an automotive environment. It should take longer on an EV that isn't going to have as many sources of oil leaks in old age. I still wouldn't want to use it for anything other than bundling wires though.

As an aside, I've worked on aircraft (GA) and on cars and your average car sees more vibration but obviously if things fall apart in the air it's a bigger deal.
Have you considered that they vigorously deny things because they are not true? If even a fraction of the negative things about Tesla in the press were true then their cars would be falling apart on the streets and the company would be failing from low demand. In reality buyers love the cars and they just broke their delivery record again last quarter.
On current WebAssembly version you still need to expose canvas or WebGL entry points to Rust code.

However WebAssembly is not stuck in MVP v1.0, there is ongoing work to expose more of the underlying features to WebAssembly, like the DOM references proposal.
Sprint says hackers breached customer accounts via Samsung website
Sure, but the effect is the same. A "right-wing Google" won't succeed because left-wing policies are more beneficial to the growth of cities, which are beneficial to the success of organizations like Google.

It is actually sort of surprising to me that cities are tech hubs - you should be able to deliver fantastic products while working remotely and never meeting anyone in person. (And the free software/open source movement is an existence proof of that.) So there must be something else about cities that makes them better at not just the success of tech companies but the success of groups of tech companies.
Just hearing this stuff, I would never imagine this production is profitable.
Transactuations: Transactions for IoT Devices
The one you've responded to was clearly making fun of the one who dismissed the issues as "politics".
Why is talking about how women are treated differently in the workplace somehow dividing narratives?

And saying corporations do not care about gender is just wrong. Because corporations protect people who harass women. I'm rather baffled by all of the outrage going on because the article mentioned the person was a woman.

They're reporting real findings which they allow everyone to verify. There's nothing academically fraudulent about this.
That dies provide an interesting example. Requiring the accessing party disclose who they are (and who they may be acting for), and putting strict access limits on the requests based on that (once per 10 minutes or hour possibly, unless you petition for a slightly higher access rate because of need, such as your profession) and all under penalty of prosecution of the U.S. government neatly solves the issue for me I think.

If you have to supply your SSN, name and an email for each request, and the name and SSN are shown to later requesters, that easily allows the government to track abuse of an SSN to access records, allows for preventing third parties from accumulating all the records to circumvent the controls, and allows public view of records that might be problematic to have negative privacy consequences if data mined completely.
Well, you edited it a bit now but my point is, you're either misunderstanding or misrepresenting what "equal compensation" is about. If it's the former, the linked page is a good place to start.
Sounds like a deal for me "he visits us, reddit - where he uses his real name, hacker news -where he uses his real name and YouTube where he uses his real name, he's incredibly boring"
Do you have a personal stake or underlying viewpoint

Yes. I work in a directly advisory position with various municipalities across the united States implementing online open records systems of engagement, among other systems of public accountability and answer these types of questions every day.

I had been intending to avoid appealing to job titles in discussing the matter but this is my profession and the question of legal access and barriers to access weighed against public interest is a topic that happens in every meeting I sit in.
What is missing, compared to other platforms, is that there is no revocable consent to prevent and deter third parties from using the collected data in this transaction, no dynamic market based pricing of your data, and no immutable record of the revoked consent or violation on the revoked consent

would love to see Amazon push toward those goals
Google has been implicated in this in the past (though I disagree that fuschia is solely a retention program): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17569631
If a set of powerful men use the interests to said corporation to enrich themselves at the expense of women who are there, then it is definitely a sexism issue.

I appreciate the economic arguments you are hinting at, but they are not incompatible with the notion that sexism was at play. We know, factually, that executives Google broke the law and then we're paid large sums of money to leave.

You cannot easily disentangle these power dynamics. Nor should you, because corporations are just large groups of people with special legal permissions from the government. The idea that interpersonal conflict would go away and such an environment seems to contradict the facts and hand.
The titular example is very often sold as something very close to the semantics; so the problem is indeed in the expectations, expectations created by how word2vec embeddings are often presented as vectors that magically understand the semantics.
Change from inside has a very poor track record. People who say that are usually rationalizing their involvement. Even non-violent protests are adversarial. The history of the world seems to suggest that is the one tried and known method for change is adversarial confrontation. If you look at it from a game theory/economics point of view, there is little incentive for people to change unless you change the landscape and the factors that compel their behavior. Change from inside really doesn't have that because organizations/organisms/nature are resistant to change -- if it is working why risk it? Very few organizations have the ability to disrupt itself.
Do any of those generate web apps that are accessible and browser-friendly? I am quite aware of the fact that you can run desktop apps in a web window. Will have to investigate Blazer and Qt.
> It gave bad actors a lot of autonomy, but it also exposed them to scrutiny and pushback from good actors.

So far, we've seen quite a bit of the former and very little of the latter. Google's work culture seems to have become politically divisive to a rather surprising extent - if this is what "entitlement" boils down to, surely a more "normal" structure (though I'd settle for just a marginal increase in professionalism, similar to what we see in other "grassroots-led" organizations) can't be all that bad!

You can read the car plate of cars passing in front of you. It is public information. If you can easily gather the location of all cars at any time, it becomes a big privacy problem. You can identify husbands cheating...
I guess my point is that the climate of the region is such that I don't see it being an issue to be "outside" and that it might be more pleasant than an actual factory, then again I'm ignorant to the dress code or actual temperature of a typical automotive factory.
What Does Ideal Email Look Like and Why Language Matters
PC 3.5 millimeter jacks do have a DC bias similar to phantom power, it’s just lower.
Your description suggests the tent is actually better than the factory building in such climates (even ones with occasional below freezing temperatures). I have to ask why Tesla didn't go for a tent from the start. The logical conclusion is that the factory building provides necessary extras that still justify the incredibly high costs.

And the extremes you mention are still averages. So with an average low of 43F (~6C) in December [0] you may see minimums of just over 30F (-1C) so it's perfectly conceivable that it can get pretty uncomfortable to work. Same applies to summers, possibly to a lower extent.

Voice commands? I’m amazed because I think you’re the first person I’ve seen who likes that feature! Do you also have a digital assistant at home?
Nope, you negotiate the terms of your employment first. This is just negotiation.
Take for the example Norway’s rules (cited below) that tax returns can be viewed by anyone, and the list of who viewed each record is also public. This requires limitations on how the data can be reproduced.

If you need to drive to see a clerk it’s a lot harder to get access, and that’s a reasonable barrier. The clerk can also have reasonable limits on how many you can request and whether you can make a copy. Each of these rules do have an impact on how widely information is used or disseminated, and can limit data mining style use. Note that some of these limitations (like preventing a copy) can be more difficult when accessing from a website.

So yes, there are many useful limitations than can be placed on sharing of data that have a real practical impact on privacy.
Ah got it, thanks.

I'm guessing that the vinylcyclohexene dioxide may be ovotoxic in other animals or perhaps there are concerns that it would get into the water? Granted, it seems like those are valid concerns for brodifacoum too.
Protesting a lack of good general harassment handling shouldn't be considered trouble making behavior. The sexual harassment is trouble making and it was rewarded with hush money.

That's still so much better than using with the cable attached (if it was possible), or the belly-up charging.
This would protect people making calls based on racial profiling - "man walking in my neighborhood while black".
If IQ functions that way, you don't need to measure it because people are already doing what you want it to enable.
Google's stock price would drop sharply if they went into maintenance mode right now. One of the main reasons they command the crazy high valuation they do today is because they remain on the cutting edge of the latest technology, which demonstrates an ability to adapt to the ever changing winds in their sector.
Apparently there's a HAT for that...

It can be both.
This doesn't seem all that surprising. Search the web for the Coimbra Protocol (for autoimmune diseases.) For now it seems like mainstream medicine (in the US at least) treats this as quackery, but there are thousands of people all over the world doing this.
Show HN: Prepare for technical interviews with real questions from companies
Evidence over supposition.

I have no problem with the claim in the face of evidence. I just don't see any here.
They are specifically being targeted for forcing google out of China according to the article. It was fine as long as they were merely targeting social issues within google.
Hi HN,

I've spent my career continuously prepping and practicing for technical interviews, specifically SQL and python, and mainly for marketing analytics and some data science. I also teach SQL and python on the side and need a platform for my students to play around with.

I built Strata Scratch to help people prepare for their technical interviews and brush up on SQL and python. I loaded it with technical interview questions I've sourced from various sites. We created our own underlying datasets and changed the questions a bit keep original and test specific concepts that are often found on interviews.

The platform is MVP-ish, as it's only a side hustle but it's continuously improving. It's free to try out but has a monthly subscription if you want to unlock all the questions. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Here's a link to a Youtube we did also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6gM265zG68
The USA-China AI Race – 7 Weaknesses of the West
I agree!

The victories are small and recent. The exposure of executive sexism, The push back against military contractors, and the recent pride petitions are modest victories at best, and they've come with a heavy price.

Still, many other major tech companies lack a list at all, despite every indication of facing similar issues.
Imagine someone at Boeing would have generated some negative news about the MAX... I would think that smart people would admire people that speak against bad things like sexual harassment(which is illegal AFAIK) but I seems that we have people here that would prefer not see the dark sports of their favorite company.

I was reading the Amazon protest thread and it seems that the capitalists/free market guys would be fine with sexual harassment too because free markets would fix it and you have the choice to resign, too bad some communist made it illegal /s

Controversial Telescope Set to Begin Construction in Hawaii
Brings back memories! We had one quite a few years ago, and the recurring problem we had was that the ignition timing would drift (worn cam), so we always travelled with a packet of cigarette papers for setting the points gap. Of course, the other problem was that the points box was directly behind the engine-cooling fan, which meant removing it before maintenance and running the engine without while tweaking the timing. Great "fun" :)

Everyone's needs are different but everything from partial and expression indexes to JSON and JSONB fields. I switched over to Postgres 100% some years ago and never went back. I find it to be much nicer to work with as a founder of a tech company who had to wear both the developer and dev-ops hat for some time. I'm not familiar with the Google cloud flavor, but we're building out with Postgres in development and staging and using Amazon's Aurora (Postgres compatible) in production.
I use and recommend the Samsun Q2U, a SM58-clone which has both XLR and USB. (There's an AudioTechnica version of it too I believe.)

What precisely are you asking evidence for? I can't work it out.

are you asking for evidence that there was high profile examples of sexism at Google? That essentially went unpunished? That's all the matter public record.

Are you asking for evidence that the people who have been forced out helped organize the women's march?
Yes, but the beliefs of the folks that have been at Google for 5+ years hasn't changed. Source: been at google since 2006.
No, however it was something Elon Musk remarked about to some fanfare when the commands were introduced. Yet there has been no update since then.

One would hope you could tell the car to change radio stations, switch to the phone for music, or even control the temperature, but for now we get limited navigation and satellite radio commands.

Would I use them, some. However the point was, they don't focus well. Fart gags and video games are not features that make every day driving easier. Having full access to the music on my phone via blue tooth like nearly every other car has had for years would be. Instead I have to use my phone to change play lists which actually is not legal in my state.
I could link you to plenty of politic hot topics that I care about. But I don’t see how that helps explain the role of highly politicized work environments.

Violence on the other hand also has no place in the work environment. Which is why harassment of all forms isn’t tolerated.
Algorand [Blockchain] Running on Raspberry Pi
Are you seriously trying to argue that there is no difference between an in-depth targeted investigation of an individual and that same information being available about everyone to anyone on the planet with a press of a few buttons?

This would be pretty close to it however

Sure, you can argue that there is no privacy and people should just get over it

on the opposite side, no, this is absolutely not what I'm arguing.

If querying a public record online gives rise to a sufficient argument that public harm is being caused, legislatures are not ignorant of this, and they are certainly not deaf to it. At the Federal level, SCOTUS recently reversed a decision of how to answer that very question with regards to Food Stamp data and how it can be queried, and even if it should be queryable at all: https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/food-marketing-i...

All of my comments here I am trying to make as objectively as possible without passing judgement on any concern or aspect of it, but simply remark on how open records laws are implemented and how laws affect those records and the ones who query them.

Any assertion that I am making an assessment or judgement about the people involved runs contrary to my motives in even bothering to comment here.
LXD 3.15 has been released
It's the web. It runs HTML, CSS and JS. Wanting to code your web app in anything else is... I don't know... petulant? And wanting to lose HTML but keep CSS seems a little perverse ;)

Every language has flaws (yes, even LISP). Every language has a different purpose. Javascript has done an amazing job so far, and there are millions of people writing some great things in it. Yes, there are also millions of people writing some terrible things in it, but that's on the people not the language.

I think having a way of running Go as my front end is going to be great, and I look forward to testing it out. I will heave a huge sigh of relief if I can just code in one language for the whole stack.

But that does come with complications. There are currently exactly zero Front End Developers who write usable web front ends in Go. Given the complexity of writing web front ends (and that's not going to be any easier in compiled Go or Rust than it is in interpreted JS), and the paucity of experience in writing them, I'm not sure moving to a Go front end is wise for another few years. Even then, I'd be surprised if Go won that particular competition, and I wouldn't be surprised to find that we have to run Python in Web Assembly because that's what all the Front End devs use. I like Python, don't get me wrong, but I don't see Python in WA as a huge step up from native JS...
