I don't think that's entirely fair to say. I've experienced it to some extent before and never told anyone about it. I've grown up with humbleness being taught to me as a very valuable virtue and it sometimes ends up impacting me negatively. For example, I struggle with selling my accomplishments on self-assessments. So much so that my manager has had to work with me on a plan that better makes my accomplishments visible.

When I get recognized and promoted, sure, I'm very grateful about it but it can occasionally give me anxiety of what those below me in their career ladder think about me. I have ways of dealing with anxiety but telling them I have imposter syndrome is not remotely one of them.
This culture of sacrificing everything for the bottom line is a cancer on our industry.

The rules of society are always a trade-off.

In this case, the idea is to lose a bit of free speech, and gain less hatred and less murder. That is not an arbitrary judgement; admittedly this is also not a clear-cut judgement.

The system never works itself out, successful societies are the ones which have established governing rules. Game theory has given us pretty good indication that systems rather self-destruct without governance than self-stabilize.

Why do you assume it's only the two options that happen to conform to your narrative?
I am really sick of the high horse that this company thinks they are on because of their pseudo-neutrality.

What should normally happen if you come across some criminal or reprensible content, is that it's possible to figure out who owns the IP space,and if it's not already a criminal organisation decide to aid the ISP in running a reputable business and send them an abuse notice. This has the effect that bad actors need to move to bad networks, which you can quarantine at your own network boundary - I get to make a decision as private citizen on what is allowed on my network.

That is a process that works.

Cloudflare obfuscates the real IP space, which means that the best outcome I can achieve from them is that they will forward my abuse complaint to possibly the mob, which is not a move I am willing to make.

In this way they are not just a DDOS protection service, they are business protection for criminals. And because of their size and because they allow them to hide behind their IPs it makes it impossible for me to make a private decision about what to not allow on my networks.

If they are so happy about hosting the vomit that the internet has to offer, why not assign an IP block
to the easily identifiable garbage that exists.
You could say that about any incumbent industry player faced with a disruptive challenger, it’s surprising to see this sentiment on Hacker News of all places.

My comment was about the investments, not the companies. Some oil companies have significant investments in electricity grids, electric vehicle charging, renewable generation etc, and some do not. Even if they do, it’s not obvious they are best placed to be competitive in those industries or sustain the same profits, although hopefully they can do well. BP made a big investment in solar which it gave up on, now they are investing in charging infrastructure, hopefully that will turn out better.
I’d strongly suggest watching John Oliver’s Aussi gun control sequel. It’s hilarious and educating (surely he’s a biased source, but at min you’ll get a good laugh)
> I’m based in the UK .. We have a fair dealing clause here.

I know, and I'm familiar with the distinction. I assumed you were as well, and would be using the term of art for whichever system you meant.

> The existence of a copyrighted work can be detected by an algorithm .. Whether it falls under fair use cannot.

Thanks for the information.
Nope. Best I got was - Send money as salary and do yearly returns as additional income.
Big Tech Controls Many Major Open-Source Projects. Is That a Problem?
The Sony camera stuff is really built like tanks and can pack a load of abuse. Thanks for the submission, that explains the "why" :)
>they're too big

And therein lies the problem. This sort of behavior is tolerated in Facebook and Twitter simply because they are "large" by some random metric. If FB or Twitter decides one day to mass censor a certain type of content, it somehow isn't a big deal because they are "large"
France has pretty strict gun controls laws which have not proven to be much of a protection against terrorism, who used AK47, explosives or simply trucks to cause mass casualties.
> that usually requires either consent and active participation of previous user at the same address or proving that you have legal right to use the property.

That's the key. Where I live, it only takes online applications to sign up with power companies and telcos, if infrastructure is already in place (cables laid, power meters installed, etc) and it's not associated with any active contract. After sign-up, services are remotely turned on and kept on as long as bills are being paid.

It's not up to service providers to police property rights. They own or have rights to infrastructure leading up to the final junction box and what happens downstream is not their business.

aren't header files quite useful for yourself and especially other devs as a quick summary? I've found myself wishing my IDE would automatically make a header file equivalent for my python code (VS Code actually does this, but gives a lot of other info that's extraneous in my opinion)
You can have more than one problem. Think of it like a post mortem. Don't just look for root cause hut also think about mitigating factors. Solve for as many as possible.

Even if you don't accept easy access to firearms as the root cause, it's definitely a factor. You don't kill 21 people with rocks and sticks.
Sure, and whilst this is _slowly_ changing, a large part is the high up-front cost.

A Kia e-Niro is £32,995 (including the recently cut Government subsidy) whilst a similar size+spec petrol car (The Kia Rio 3) is £17,285.

The Nissan Leaf is from £27,995 whilst the larger Qashqai is from £19,995.

I know that the up-front cost issue is similar in many countries, but that's where Government subsidies usually kick in. America has the $7,500 federal tax credit on EVs (to a point), plus state subsidies sometimes top it up to $10k. This compares to the UK which has recently cut the £4,500 subsidy down to £3,500 for EVs.
I feel like you're taking the wrong conclusion here. Perhaps modern society and guns being widely accessible don't mix. Other countries took measures when the problem became apparent, the US didn't.
It might be worth spending some time reflecting on why you hold that position.

Do you have any evidence for it?

Perhaps more importantly, would you personally be generally more at-ease if this were more true than the alternative?

I ask because it seems to me like it would be simpler to take them at their word (i.e that they are genuinely disappointed that advertising GIFs are where so much of this generation of tech's effort is spent). It doesn't seem out of character for people to express disappointment about that sort of thing without their personal salaries being a factor.
There are two options. One which works with any syslog daemon: you enable ForwardToSyslog, which creates a socket that can be used instead of /dev/log. Or another for specific daemons: rsyslog and some others can read messages directly from the journal themselves. Option 2 is the default on new systems.
Your argument is about today, but the analysis is about 25 years time, i.e. the scale of long term oil investments.
Maybe this will come to pass but the market currently does not believe so, at least in the 10 year time frame. A 2030 Oil Futures Contract is priced right around $54 this morning. If we end up in a world where oil is no longer needed, yes some people will lose a bunch of money. But capital is also going to be freed up to invest in new things.

I don't think that anyone thinks the oil industry is the same as 50 years ago. I also don't think there is anyone (on the professional side at least) who does not know that oil companies, specifically the majors, trade with the price of oil. If these are actually unsafe stocks then there is a huge amount of money to be made by betting against them in a variety of ways. I actually don't think it will be as catastrophic as you think since in an such an environment a lot of oil companies in the US would go out of business, or be substantially reorganized. The prices of certain things would increase and maybe alternatives would arise.

If in 30 years we are going to need substantially less oil than we do today, in 10 years we should be starting to see that reflected in the price. So if you really believe that you should be selling long dated futures contracts, or shorting major oil company stocks, or shorting companies specializing in oil transportation, or probably a variety of other things.

how is the view animation / vc transition story on RN ?

Say you’d like to implement a snapchat-like UX with RN, would that be possible without relying heavily on native custom components ?
True, productivity growth is very low compared to the past. It seems that the long recession coincided the hyping of certain new tech (self-driving cars, drone delivery) leading some people to wrongly believe that we were on the verge of robots causing mass unemployment.

On the other hand, I think we might not have really dealt with the changes from mass automation in the past. If you look at things like "bullshit jobs"[1], or large sectors of the economy that provide negative value to society, it seems like previous automation freed up huge amounts of labor that simply haven't been used to improve society. Since that's already happened, though, it's much harder for people to see it as a problem.

The reason sites want to have Like buttons is because they perceive value in that for the site. A C&D would be enough to bring anyone in to alignment that didn't have a wish for a very expensive day trip to court.
Generating virtual credit card numbers is kind of a big sell for me. I double any other credit card companies will have anything comparable to Apple's UI/UX of it either.
Before the war US had to buy that oil at market price and all profits belonged to local companies (or to Russian ones, which also operated there). Since war American companies (Exxon Mobil) were granted licenses to extract oil from Iraq oil fields, and now the profits go to them. Not to mention that after Americans pretty much ruined the country, American companies make ton of money on re-building it from ruins. Pretty smart business model: bomb the country, and then charge it money for re-building it :)
this is a great summary of the protocol. I recently needed to debug some weird router behavior. An rsyslog change saved me from having to deal with the crumby router debugging GUI. All that said journald really is clutch.

I am saying that the majority will brand minority speech “hate speech” and use it as a bludgeon.
This just resembles a coup.

Alternatively, it resembles a conflict zone with a history of intercommunal violence, and armed conflict involving three countries. Which it is, actually.
The founder of Mailparser in this episode of Indie Hackers[1] talks exactly about this. When he did Show HN, His thread was on the front of HN and he got so many views and advice but zero sales. But ultimately his Show HN thread lead him to a partnership that made him a solopreneur.

By this definition, any law destroys freedom. Every nation on the planet already operates on the premise that certain personal freedoms are regulated or restricted for the sake of societal harmony and progress. The "slippery slope" arguments either ignore the fact that we already make the same compromises all the time, or assumes all such compromise is wrong, which is a viewpoint that is so unrealistic or extreme that, at best, will never ever have support from more than a sliver of the population and will never be realized.
Super interesting, thanks for sharing. I had never read about anyone managing to get consistent traffic from HN.
Hence why explicitly left Forms out.

For me having to deal with Dart, a programming language without any other purpose than Flutter, it rules out any advantage over Xamarin.

> There are plenty of ways to accomplish something like this without a gun, so removing the guns from the picture would just change the method.

The numbers don't seem to bear this out. There seems to be a fairly proportional relationship between gun ownership and per capita gun deaths; see point two:

* https://www.vox.com/2015/10/3/9444417/gun-violence-united-st...

> It's lazy to just say that "gun control will fix this" because you're ignoring solving the actual problem of why people are doing this.

While the desire to do certain things may remain, it may be possible to limit the practical ways that desire may be implemented. These extreme cases will probably be the hardest to stop, but there's a lot of low-level carnage that could be reduced:

How about looking at a portfolio?

Suppose that I have a portfolio with...let's just say...100KLoC of extremely current (like fifteen minutes ago) code, a GitHub ID that is solid green, and over 30 public repos in one org, and over 50 in another, and some of those repos and code examples happen to fit your application EXACTLY.

Think that might tell you a bit more about me than a schoolboy test?

Asking for a friend..

Yeah...it does mean that you'll need to spend some time actually reading up on what I can do, but there would be no question at all about my abilities or relevance to your workflow (BTW: That cuts both ways. You may well decide, from looking at my stuff, that I'm not a fit).

I was a hiring manager for over twenty years, at a top-shelf corporation, and managed a really heavy-duty team. I loved long résumés. I would have KILLED for the kind of information you can get in a well-stocked SO Story.
> Imagine if real life utilities did this.

You don't have to imagine it. Literally all of these things happen. Examples:

- Utilities restricting or even cutting off crypto miners (eg [1])

- Your phone service has prohibited uses that will get your service disconnected (eg see Section 8, Use of the Service in [2]).

- Getting water cut off is more difficult but not impossible, I imagine. Some places will cut you off for not paying your bill. Many don't as it's an essential service. I imagine if you resold a residential water supply for commercial purposes, you may well get cut off.

You are wrong. After creating money by giving loans, a private bank have to get reserves proportional to the money it has loaned. For this, they got to the inter-bank market or the central bank.

The goal of the Central Bank it's to control the interest rate, not the quantity of money. If there are not enough reserves in the inter-bank market, and the Central Bank refuses to supply them, the interest rate will go up.

So, if the Central Bank want to control the interest rate, it can't control the quantity of money and vice versa.

Modern Central Banks target the interest rate, not the quantity of money. The quantity of money in the economy it's automatically regulated by the level of economic activity.
What you get from Brooks Law is really that one should never put more people on a project? (Late or whatever?)

That's an insane idea (it does lead to the conclusion that the optimal team is zero sized), and not an answer to the GP's claim that a good manager must know when more people will/won't help.

I've seen countless times brilliant people actually delivering amazing things “I can just do this myself in a weekend.” Now I've also seen countless times avg. people who consider themselves brilliant screwing things up. So it might be the author is just bad at hiring people ?
> I see that premise repeated ad nauseum.

Because it's true? I mean sometimes you hear things repeated because that's just how it is. Just because there are also other industries does not make the statement wrong.
Thanks man, that's really nice insights :)
Fake News on the Social Graph
None of the above mentions race.

Unless you want to define any territorial conflict between 2 sides as always based on race, when race is only incidental to other differences.

The Rwandan genocide was same race, but different ethnicities.

By modern standards, the crusades could also be called racist instead of mostly religious in nature.

Maybe. But if you want to curb freedom of speech in the name of minorities, you might be perceived as far more offensive than Trump could ever be. I think that lesson is highly required for Pinky to understand.

I recently posted one of my silly side-projects to HN and it reached the front-page; I'm not really into analytics and user tracking, but I was curious about how much traffic was generated.

So, I just awk/grep'ed Apache's access.log [1]. The results were about 23k requests from 17k unique addresses in a couple of days and then a longer tail for about a week, but haven't checked since.

To put some actual numbers on it, here are the NIH Postdoc salaries for 2019. https://www.bu.edu/researchsupport/2018/12/05/nih-announces-...

With a PhD + 7 years of experience, you make the princely sum of $61,308. Due to how research funding is structured, it is very difficult to negotiate a salary that's much above this. These jobs tend to cluster in expensive areas (Boston, NYC, California) too.
Surely there is a name for this kind of logical fallacy? That a country is flawed because of "X" means that they can't be correct about "Y"? It also assumes a homogeneity among the population about all of those issues, which clearly isn't the case.

Actually, wealth inequality is a big threat /to/ automation because lower wages means automation isn't economically efficient.

The first places where automation is put in place is where labor is expensive. That is, both geographically and industry-specifically.

It's not the factory workers so much as the accountants, lawyers, and doctors that are marginalized first. Software is cheaper and the reward greater.

And with respect to geographically, Scandinavia employs the most robotics to augment manually labor jobs. They will continue to lead in this area.
Capital flight happens when you think the yuan is going to lose more value, not when it has already lost value (too late). For example, I got most of my money out of RMB in 2016 when it hit 6.4 in one swoop, since I thought it would go 7 quickly (I was wrong, but there was no reason to not have USD anyways as a foreigner).

Chinese could also convert $50k a year for their own needs without having to justify it. (Foreigners could convert however much they made), so the controls were pretty reasonable at that time, not sure how it is now.
in my experience this is by far the less likely scenario, but I would like to hear from OP whether his initial work contributed to the ultimate decision
