Hi,
I was really screwed by Tech Giant Companies many times in my life for a big money. But now, here I am reborn to bring justice. I reported 1 case to the European Commission and cases like mine led to a new law which was introduced last month:

"Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight!"

> This practice is not only common, but institutionalized. For example, in the OO world you hear a good deal about "patterns". I wonder if these patterns are not sometimes evidence of case (c), the human compiler, at work. When I see patterns in my programs, I consider it a sign of trouble. The shape of a program should reflect only the problem it needs to solve. Any other regularity in the code is a sign, to me at least, that I'm using abstractions that aren't powerful enough-- often that I'm generating by hand the expansions of some macro that I need to write.
This is definitely, painfully, normal. It also impacts where a worker will go - big companies have immigration lawyers on staff to help with this, while smaller companies have to leave the workers to largely fight the battle on their own.

This means, regardless of wage(!), big companies have a bigger pool to hire from.

I don't even understand the point of H-1B being tied to a specific employer or job title.
What about the battery? Does Lenovo still sell OEM batteries or will you have to try your luck with Ebay, where most of those being sold by unofficial sellers are straight up fakes?
also, you don't have to give it access to your photos... it works perfectly fine with just camera access
Nothing you said is wrong, but that is part of the problem right? To do anything online, you have to use google to some extent, so how can you compete in the first place? Google is already a monopoly in search which makes it impossible to make something online that requires search (ie., almost everything) and have it properly compete.
That's equally disingenuous.

HK is not a frontier of any 'cold war'.

What is happening is that some forces are trying to use HK to create problems for the Chinese government because China is getting too powerful for the established powers. And they try to create issues and frame them using narratives such as this article.

This is the same as trying to pass the extradition bill off as an attack on the rule of rule or on HK's status.

This is cynical but that's how the game has always been played.

In the end the victims will be the naive young Hongkongers who are used as pawns.
Have a specific image you'd be interested in seeing tested? The article only contains a few examples that could be freely used, but images with sparse random text (e.g. [1]) do tend to have good results across all the services.

This seems like it could be a (very) loose analogy for type-first programming. Before you start manipulating data (passing values to functions) you have to give careful thought to what data types you will need. If you do it right, there's far less rearranging (rummaging through the pile) needed later.
Im glad to see more of this. You can learn a lot more from failures which arent discussed well online.
Ask HN: What major trend in tech were you wrong about?
I just took a moment to pause today and realized how much things have changed in the past decade... and how wrong I was about some trends didn't take off and others did (E.G. I thought we would see a major movement into biotech after theranos / 23andMe captured so much spotlight... yes I was super wrong).

What tech trend were you sure about and why do you think it didn't pan out?
People generally don't know what they want. Expecting anything but a small percentage to customize their UI, let alone even know or care that feature exists, is optimistic at best. Think outside of the HN bubble, the other 99.999% of people that use these products.
Exactly. This is a gesture move for constituents by the House, knowing that it will be shot down and they don't actually have to back it up. Especially considering that cities with high cost of living like LA aren't getting to $15/hr until next year.
Thanks. Good read and has a new twist in the trade espionage era - though clearly aaple started doing this before these issues to maintain the surprise factor at event launches.

I really, really doubt that. At worst, it's both. CSS scoping and obfuscated class names are really popular and part of any modern JS framework.
Nginx is probably my fav of the surviving-and-thriving ones. It still remains very distinct from Apache, but calling it simpler would be a large stretch.

Projects like qmail discovered the reason in a somewhat _harder_ manner. And yes, I'd argue Python is yet another case, as it grew _at least_ as complex as Perl.
It's nice to see progress on handwriting recognition.
In essence, what happens is they implement a "if we can't see it, you can't see it" policy.

If it ruins their economy, yes.
I think all Facebook apps do this, and probably most major apps from big companies. I tried to do some research on what requests the Facebook app was making on my phone and it was pretty difficult to get it to allow me to use Charles proxy (when I installed the cert on my phone the app just stopped working) because of the certificate pinning. The only way this would work is if the government created their own FB, etc. app and somehow distributed it.
You can also disable/spoof referer in about:config
I'm curious how many people would realise that installing a root certificate implies the government wants to spy on their traffic.

It's going to be a lot fewer than the people who'd be able to understand they'd need to do X to keep the internet working.
The good news is that most of these commons issues are related to ecosystems on earth, which are blissfully absent in space.
I guess I did exaggerate the serious prep a bit, but I guess I used that term because with my current schedule it would be tough to fit in.

Every time I do a developer workshop at work I want to do my best, but dang it takes me a good month of my spare time to get something I feel is worthy of consuming someone else's time.

I just have a difficult time thinking how I'd do a weekly podcast and keep it interesting on topic! But I'm sure there are plenty of people better at this than I am hehe.. At the end of the day though I'm probably happier people keep producing even if I don't consume it all, just nice to know its there
Please note explicitly what I had highlighted- in fact, this point validates my claim that it has always been the case that people put each other in buckets and segregated based on identity politics.
But are there US citizens or permanent residents who are interested in the jobs your H1B's are vying for? It is a tight labor market, so it's possible there aren't many other candidates, depending on the job.

However I recently saw an opening where I work go to an H1B where there were other qualified candidates, which I don't like to see. I would rather see the H1B's have a more stable/easier path to permanent residency. Not only does it confer a longer term economic benefit to the US to have more skilled workers, it would (probably) make the worker feel more secure and stable in their life, and less beholden to stay somewhere working because their H1B status is being held over their head and preventing easy mobility.

I almost forgot about those. I'll have to re-read a couple papers.
But they are, Facebook has exactly the same rights to use any photo you upload royalty free or to share it with the 3rd parties as they find suitable... perhaps the legal wording is a bit different, but the rights are the same...
Didn't this happen not long ago with gun streamers?
They didn't say no cookies. They said no third-party cookies.
> So we enable these shortcuts whenever we detect a keyboard.

How exactly do they they do this? Is it just detect keypress so load the shortcut code, or more complicated?
> The paying of creators definitely anti-competitive.

Its actually very common practice and has been for a very long time (way before 2007). Once people get mindshare, they get offers. The top you tubers, twitch streamers, etc have negotiated contracts with terms that are very different that what a standard creator has.

Think of it just like Hollywood. The top talents are sough after and franchises are built around them, the rest have to audition.
> Giving up to a foreign government is a terrible idea. It would absolutely just let the problem spread and get worse.

Their government isn't merley "snooping" on it's citizens due to a week chain of trust architecture and a lack of ethical clarity... it's requiring by law that it's citizens be snooped on and censored. In such a regime, a technological arms race is not going to change the legality of subverting their measures, and cannot help the masses without simultaneously jeopardising their safety.

If only the Portland Police Department would do something about people coming from another state to create confrontations with Portlanders...

Groups that have already been linked to the murder of more than 6 Portlanders.

This is not a both sides situation. Joey Gibson and his band of thugs have had deep cooperation with the PPD which has actual neo-nazis in leadership positions. This proposal is thourouughly corrupt and is designed to allow groups of Proud Boys to show up at the houses of people who are organizing to prevent fascists having unopposed recruiting parties.

Might as well call it the "Portland Death Squads supporting act of 2019"

I've been here for 17+ years, earn $650k/yr and I'm still in the same boat. I'm at the mercy of the govt. if I want to change jobs. Moreover, I need to restart the labor certification process and reapply for my green card though I get to keep the same priority date. There's no end in sight i.e. I cannot predict when I'll get my green card due to the per-country cap and backlog. Worse, I cannot quit and take time off even for a day.

:) I am in US for 18 years now, have a master's degree and work at a FANG company, and don't have a GC yet. I am not saying this to seek sympathy, but things are way worse than they look.

The system is gamified by outsourcing companies and body shops, that are more worried about their people in, play the numbers game and clog the H-1B and GC routes, make it difficult for everyone who is trying to do quality work without playing cheap tricks.

Open-sourcing CraftAssist for studying collaborative bots in Minecraft
I'm from Portland and all my out of town relatives get this kind of stuff in their news feed. I'm curious for actual numbers. It seems a lot like demonizing a region in the same way that the first Bush did by calling Portland "Little Beirut." Portland is definitely aligned against Trump and I think antifa aligns with this sentiment, and the mass media is finding ways to minimize that argument by painting anti-Trump as violent extremists. But, now I'm speculating too, and then again, it's hard to disprove something I only really see on websites and not actually in the streets when I walk around daily.

Hello,

To continue using internet, you need to install our government-provided fork of Firefox that doesn't blacklist our government-provided root cert.

The thing with certificate is that they not only add security, but they also act as a signature.

If Verisign deliver a certificate with the wrong domain, you'll be able to know that Verisign signed that certificate.

They could certainly say it was a mistake somewhere in the process, but that argument won't work for ever.

At one point sadly you need to trust someone. This model at least give you a way to prove that trust has been broken.
Would it be possible to also blackhole the domains used to host the bad CAs? Yes they could counter this but it would buy some time before browsers are updated.
What's awesome about this approach is that it naturally leads to max revenue for the government as well.

The only counter I've heard to it is that Joe's Tech Corp in Podunk, USA cannot compete with big city salaries and would never be able to get any filled. Though I see that as a feature not a bug.
You mean single, unemployed, qualified American who really wants that job. There are probably thousands of Americans that can take up that job but don't want to because they don't want to move or like their current job or don't like that company, etc.
I think that's terribly optimistic. I think there are all kinds of people in the US government who would like to be able to point to a success story of a scheme like this, so that they'll have more ammunition in support of implementing it here.

As for whether designating that browser vendors can't distribute software to Kazakhstan, their government would just fork an open-source one, mod it to pre-include their MiTM cert, and force their citizens to use that.
If we're being pedantic here, destructors don't manage memory at all, they only free resources. Memory is freed by the caller of the destructor, either automatically if the memory was allocated on the stack, or manually by the delete operator if the memory was allocated on the heap.
It isn't about interest, but who is best for the job. That's the point of classifying a specialty occupation. Candidates aren't interchangeable. A PhD grad from India with a specialized degree could add a TON of more value to the business and economy than a US citizen, so why not hire them?
Also, reaching the same kind of capabilities would require a substantial investment in R&D. IBM has been developing zOS for more than 50 years now.
You would use raw pointers instead of normal ones the type system (including borrow checker) cares more about, so ultimately yes it is about subverting the type system.
I dont think pinning will work with for example letsencrypt. You can pin many certs but if you loose them all you are screwed. If you check your root cers you will likely find one from every major ISP in your country.
Chrome will disable key pinning for CAs that are user installed rather than system provided (to support companies/schools who want to MITM for slightly less draconian reasons).

I do wonder if Chrome will go to requiring CAs for this purpose be deployed via something more “enterprise” (e.g. custom extensions on Windows need to deployed via group policy now).
I think Madeleine Albright's comments on this are interesting in general, but particularly relevant to how culture conditions women. https://www.thecut.com/2015/06/madeleine-albright-best-advic...

Hey, if you want to compete with Standard Oil just build your own railroad line.
I have been here 12 years, and know people 15-18+ years, all in the same boat. I can be asked to leave the country tomorrow because I tried to switch jobs, my boss woke up on the wrong side of the bed or literally any or no other reason.
Early 40s, back in coding after a hiatus of 8 years. Doing freelance work and probably continue on the path for next few years. Trying to find steady client(s) that can take off some hunting pressure.

Pentium 3 released in January 1999. That CPU, along with all newer ones, support SSE which has RSQRTPS instruction, faster, also much more precise approximation.

AMD had it before, PFRSQIT1 / PFRCPIT2 in 3DNow from 1998.

Quake 3 Arena released in December 1999. The point of using that approximation is running on older hardware, like Pentium and Pentium 2.

We aren't in LA which has 60k people living on the streets and many more on the brink. What happens when rents get too high is that you ultimately grind your city to a halt because you start making the apartment disproportionately available to certain occupations.

Sure, the software engineers move into the apartment and the janitors move out, but you still need janitors, you still need service workers, you still need these low wage jobs to actually make a city function.

So now the janitor moves to a place that's 2 hours away and still needs that job where he used to live, so he buys a dirt cheap car and commutes from where it is affordable (which doesn't have any jobs for him) to where he works.

Roads get clogged, road maintenance costs increase, pollution increases, the costs to repair things increases because you gotta pay people more to spend more time getting to the job site, services are hindered, goods deliveries are hindered because now everyone is spread out across a 500mi suburban area instead of being close together in a dense and sustainable urban area, and we end up with the LA we see today: a hellhole for the working class, but a boon for the few people with capital to grow.

There is a limit for lateral growth and it's already been reached in LA in the 40s. They built highways which were a temporary reprieve for the traffic, but now those are clogged as badly as the avenues were in the 40s (and still are today). It's been time for vertical growth and transit, which is how much of the city was originally planned, with a vast interurban rail network spanning the entire basin and the valleys that made the NYC subway seem paltry.
> ...track you all over the web? They literally have thousands of engineers doing just that.

Seriously? If that's true, most of them must be hanging out on the roof.
Exactly. You may as well try to compete with a railroad monopoly while at the same time not using any of their existing rail infrastructure. Good fucking luck.
It's definitely done to obfuscate as well - I took a look a while back and they were intentionally splitting up things like the "Sponsored" text into tons of tags and gunk to make it harder to find programmatically.
To be fair, every community has its own heroes. Somebody like Bellard is probably completely unknown to most people living in the MS ecosystem, for example.
You only have to do that if your new job is significantly different than your existing one. You do have to notify the government (USCIS probably) that you're changing jobs, bu that's not "visa application process again" if your new job is similar, and you're unlikely to be denied.

Job changes are very dangerous for H1-Bs in other ways and employers know it (and abuse it, nearly all of them). Basically if your employer finds out you're looking for a job and you don't already have another job lined up, they can fire you out of spite, and you'll have to GTFO the US within (IIRC) 2 weeks. There's absolutely no recourse. Even if you are in a protected class, you're very unlikely to sue unless you're in the US and have lots of money (which H1-Bs typically don't). So few people bother unless the situation is really dire.

It's not just H1-B either. F1-OPT gets abused in a similar fashion.
Guinness/Diageo in Dublin have one of these. A whole chunk of the city around Dublin 8. I think they had an advert that they are 250 years of their way through it.
What open-source culture can teach tech titans and their critics
(1882) Sorry :-)

One salient thing that the article touches on in various ways that would become extremely relevant about 30 years later is that Bismarck spun an extremely complicated web of alliances and relationships that arguably he perhaps uniquely could hold together.

And he wasn't around any longer when things ultimately broke down.
Think more towards break everything, as you would end up with out of date broowsers being used. This will have the side effect of causing almost the whole country to be vulnerable to attack.

Instability is the key.
I think that you would still want some restrictions like they have to work in the same industry for at least e.g. 80% of the total comp of their first job in the US until they get a real green card. Otherwise there are different abuse patterns that could happen.
Your original comment reads like pushes only goes to master, so you wait to push to a non master branch until working hours.

I found the phrasing abstruse relative to my daily way of thinking of these things
My first paying gig was as a temp worker college freshman and I designed and wrote the link level protocol in PL/M for a Ku band satellite terminal @ Harris in Palm Bay at exactly the same time. The engineers with real jobs @ Harris were in nicer parts of the building and got to work on the network layers and above on VAXen. Those were great times. Yeah we had useless offices literally the size of closets (but we all had offices, ones with walls and doors that closed) but we did everything in the lab, playing music, talking, everyone was a smoker and cigarette smoking in the lab was almost a requirement the air was so thick with smoke. Before I left we fantasized about putting bubble memory into the terminal when bubble memory was a thing. Small world. Thank you for making my afternoon nicer with the memories.
Knowing that the user is not a bot is pretty important to avoid ad fraud.

This might be enough incentive to do some user tracking, all by itself?
Cox cable but I just checked on my Fedora box and it came through as MITM unlikely so it looks like it’s just an oddity with iOS like mholt said.
It was a mistake for NYT to package it this way, and a mistake for the curators to allow their choices to be promoted this way. (The artists, I'll cut a little slack, because curation like this is not their business.)

It's the ideas of 2 particular curators and 3 artists, and identifying "canonical" pieces of contemporary art is just not something even the best curators with a lot of prep time are able to do well - it seems like they had mostly "a recent afternoon in June".

The NYT magazine tends toward clicky, buzzy stuff for people to talk about at Sunday brunch, and they have definitely done that.
