"No, simply pointing out that it's your job in this discussion to present that evidence"

I have provided evidence. (I've even included the unique evidence of personal experience. Hundreds of hours of research & experimentation- research on multiple websites- from someone with no vested financial interest, should count for something.)

I am also asserting that skeptics should also provide evidence. It's like in a courtroom- both the prosecution and the defense should provide evidence.

And again, the task for the skeptic is far easier- they only have to find a single superior resource, among thousands of possible contenders.

And if you want to be an effective skeptic, you should probably try to add some compelling evidence to your skepticism. It's in your interest to add evidence, if you are really such a big believer in your skepticism.

(I don't hate skepticism btw- normally I am a skeptic, that's why my nickname is "data_required"- I just dislike the lazy reflexive style of skepticism on display in this thread.)

And if I knew of other evidence to add besides what was in the comments section so far (having read all of the comments), I would add it.

The only other thing I can think of is that I know that the user "silverhydra" posts a lot on reddit, and is heavily involved with Examine. So I guess you can see a track record of how an employee of theirs behaves in an online forum.

"I'm simply doubting the tales of rainbow unicorn farts and victimization by Google that people like you are pushing here."

Why do you feel the need to exaggerate? How do you go from reading a claim of "great resource for information!" to "rainbow unicorn farts"?

Nobody has even asserted that Examine is the only site people should use, or that it is absolutely authoritative.

HN is filled with skeptics (compared to the general population), and Examine is clearly popular among skeptics. Maybe that should count for something?

It's not like anybody has claimed they used the site to figure out how to cure their own cancer. You know what I mean?

Also, nobody from Examine asserted that Google is trying to deliberately harm the company. (Nor am I asserting it.)

The blog post was a rather polite complaint, with evidence attached, that they had mystifyingly lost the prominence in search results which they once had.

And numerous people have documented that other search engines (Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc.) have much more respect for Examine. It's a Google-specific complaint, and appears to be due to a generic update to their algorithm.
They also make "marine propulsion systems for commercial and naval customers" according to their web site.
I took a leave after the birth of my second child.

The company I worked for was based out of the valley and had recently announced proudly that they offered paid leave.

I was excited, until HR got back to me to tell me I didn't qualify because I didn't live in CA. They offered that I could take leave without pay.

Even the companies who seem to embrace such policies, may not in all cases.
I suspect a contributory aspect is the flagrant copyright violation which went hand-in-hand with the vast majority of the adult content on Tumblr.

> construct it around a car

I don't, actually - it's that a car is far more useful than a bike. I drive 25 minutes to work; I haul (5 bike-ride-loads of) groceries several miles to my house; I visit friends anywhere from 1-5 hours away; I casually drive into the city and back. Even if I felt like riding 10 miles each way, rain or shine, or using public transit, it takes so much less time to drive my car, and I have to either find multiple clever solutions to each of the other activities I use the car for, or just go without.

My car gives me freedom from limitations; bicycle dependency only adds to them. To use a bike instead of a car, I have to fundamentally adjust my life, in every way for the worse.
It's the same system and it's mentioned in the OP.
Completely aside from how truly awful that is, someone who would deceive you to get you in the door will fuck you again the minute it is in his interest to do so.

Also, that seems like a very short-term strategy to be taking with hiring. He may not have a long-term strategy for the company.

I would suggest you jump as soon as you're able.

This is great thanks for creating this! I love the first few chapters and I'm really liking the code explanations in this one
I am fairly confident this will be flagged, and i may be censured, but i found it massively interesting and i would like to see it discussed dispassionately by a community of analytical thinkers, so i will take the chance.

I am not posting this to divide, diminish, disparage, or depress. if no one finds this piece interesting and/or worthy of discussion, then i will of course accept any and all consequences for my decision to post it.
I'm one of those and have never had any issues with charging. I park in a public garage with 6 charging spots near the entrance and once every 1-2 weeks when I get home I park at the chargers, plug in the car (at 11KW Type2) and move it to a normal parking spot when it's full (typically 4-5 hours later). So the time I "waste" every 1-2 weeks is pretty much the extra walk to the garage and back.
> The irritating thing is that EV is the closest thing to a useful thing PKI can provide

If true, that says more about the usefulness of PKI, than the usefulness of EV certs.

> And the only reason it's being pushed out is because Google doesn't like it and hence Chrome has been retiring it.

Google is far from the only people that don't like it, and far from the only ones pushing for their abandonment. They're fundamentally broken, in my view. And it's worth noting that Google/Chrome is just following the trend of not using them; are they really driving anything here?
I checked the Github repo and she didn't even contribute the majority of the code.

And the NBA is 78% black. Should articles about white NBA players (doing something totally unrelated to their whiteness) start with lines like "White NBA players start charity for kids with cancer"?

Or maybe their race has nothing to do with their actions, and therefore should not be included?
I agree that it is not a silver bullet. However it does account for a large portion of car down time and would be a useful place for chargers. Maybe it would work if they were pay chargers as well?
Presumably he's talking about code like this:

$cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username' AND hash = MD5('password')")

Allowing any value would allow for SQL injections, so the programmer does the lazy thing and "sanitize" the inputs ($username/$password) with a roll-your-own "sanitizing" function that throws an error if there are "evil" characters.
The point of diminishing returns on sanity occurs sooner than almost everyone expects.

Surprised nobody has yet mentioned Douglas Adams' "Wonko the Sane," who built an asylum turned inside out to house the whole world. Many comedians would qualify as this as well.

I know a few people I would consider "hypersane," and you can't have too many of them around because they are immune to the various arbitrages that create need and value for everyone else. They are also very charismatic and hence, contagious. I understand traditionally the cure for hypersanity was either hemlock, or crucifixion.

Alexis conflates two things here: caring for his gravely ill wife, which U.S. law protects with 12 weeks through FMLA (unpaid, admittedly), and paternity leave. I don't think that staying out for a long stretch is a wise idea barring some unusual postpartum circumstance, and I certainly didn't do it even given the option. Taking a little time off to readjust to the baby's habits, but getting back to working reduced hours and some remote work if possible as quickly as possible seems better. Being productive at work is part of mental health, and I found it restorative to be able to have those periods without moment to moment concern for the baby.
In every city in the US you cannot just build a hotel on a plot you owned. It must be zoned for a hotel, and that zoning level will tell you how tall you can go and how much parking you are required to provide.

Growth is already capped in the U.S., your last paragraph doesnt make much sense. It’s also not government but the residents themselves who are to blame. Look at LA. Most of the city is low rise apartments or single family homes and there is a housing shortage pushing rents to astronomical levels. Developers want to make money by building supply to meet demand. They want to build towers. They want 2000 units in a parcel. They dont want to have to build 5 stories of subterranean parking. But the councilmans ear who can make these projects possible doesn't listen to the developers. A developer doesnt vote in the councilmans district. The NIMBYs who vote in council elections are the ones suing these projects for vaguely racist and myopic reasons, suing transit projects, suing infrastructure projects, burning precious public money in litigation hand over fist, and they get treated like princesses in council meetings because renters do not vote in LA, and who votes runs this city.

Ehhh parts of that article were never accurate, especially the stuff about having an hbase-powered dashboard feed.

Primarily the product backend is monolithic PHP (custom framework) + services in various languages + sharded MySQL + Memcached + Gearman. Lots of other technologies in use though too, but I'll defer to current employees if they want to answer.
It's not that I want the world to function in that way, it's that sex is such a fundamental part of our biological nature that I believe it supersedes any human abstractions we place over our animal nature; to the extent where, the unworkable symbiosis you posited, of porn associated with the advertising of well known brands, is wanting the world to work in a different way than it actually does. More succinctly, just because advertisers haven't done it well, doesn't mean it can't be done.

In fact, as this generation of baby boomers dies off, I have a strong feeling porn will become far more normalized and have more prestigious non-porn brands associated with it, so long as more prestigious porn brands can rise up.
This is a great article. For years I didn't know how to handle anxiety so I handled it "like a man" which lead to a pretty decent drinking habit.

Now that I've stopped drinking and being open about what's going on with me, my anxiety looks like traditional anxiety which was easy for my gp to help diagnose.

Taking the leap to be open and get help was the best thing to happen to me in years.

I think it is very telling that none of the seemingly scientific claims or measurable assertions in this piece have any citations. "Diversity of (x)" may cause opportunities to arise, but Diversity itself, in this piece, could probably be replaced with "better pay," or "better work conditions," or any thing that most people believe to be good. It is an interesting piece because it reinforces the ascendant commoner ideology of the US: stuff i like is good, and here is a list of bullet points as to why good stuff is great."

EDIT: grammar
The distributions don’t have unlimited resources and the community can be a real deterrent: look at how much crap the systemd developers get every time they fixed a decades-old problem and then the angry mob shows up to complain about having to learn something new.

I’ve been hoping that we’ll get there for a couple decades but SELinux was quite the reminder that when faced with work a lot of people will just turn off a security measure and rant about it rather than contributing.
What Is a Pure Function?
> Tumblr had issues with jailbait and childporn. Even with a lot of moderation and policing, it was difficult to keep under control.

That's because they had crappy design:

* How does one report a post? Click the share button (I'm not clicking something labeled share on child porn).

* Can moderators delete posts and the comment chain that allows for coordination? Nope, just the images.

Doesn't matter how moderation one does if the tools aren't there.

Amazing. Requests:

- Would prefer a permissive software license. Not much benefit to GPL. I've seen nice projects I'd have contributed / shared with where collaborative opportunity didn't happen. Too many obligations, sweeps in too many situations, and a lot of gray hairs explaining it being a net negative. I try to encourage a philosophy of YAGNI when doing open source licenses, sheerly for the sake of backward compatibility with licenses.

Don't you want your code / project to be inter-operable as possible, even with other licenses? Do you want to make development contributions streamlined as possible (even from the parade of horribles, e.g. the corporation profiting from your work with no intention of reciprocal contribution? Why impede their success? It's not your loss), or do you want potential contributor's interest to derail into a cost-benefit analysis of running afoul of GPL terms until they find an alternative?

How does this detection work? By infrared? Visually looking for the streak of glowing exhaust? Wouldn't the exhaust, even if only superheated air from a (nuclear) scramjet be comparable, at least in infrared? I'd bet the globe is crisscrossed by infrared trails of civil aviation already, for the eyes of such satellites. But doesn't matter, because tagged by ADS-B, or whatever. So benefit is speed to target by avoiding climbing up suborbitally, maneuverability , and not to be as predictable as some oldfashioned ICBM, with its purely ballistic trajectory.

Just mute it would be a valid option if slack allowed whitelisting @here/@channel, rather than blacklist

Our slack instance has the opposite, a bot that explains how to mute in many "public" channels upon a here.

As is I need to remember to do the same every time I join or get added to a channel or some inconsiderate person on the other side of the world will @channel at a dumb time.
A Teams client for linux - meh. I mean, I guess I wouldn't mind it I guess (assuming I don't have to pay more for it per my office365 monthly fee), but i certainly don't seek it. On linux, I'm perfectly happy with libreoffice. However, what I do want is a native onedrive client for linux.
I think you need to allow people to be passionate about things which have helped them.

Hell, I'm not even as passionate as the typical sports fan.

And this is true, despite my not having to pay any money for information which has helped my sleep, concentration, athletic performance, social comfortability, empathy for others, etc.

Most people would pay tens of thousands of dollars for the benefits I've received. And I got those benefits with some free info, and a few hundred dollars worth of supplements.

So don't feel so shocked if someone has a positive opinion about the company which provided a lot of the "free information" part of that equation.

Anyway, thank you for the interesting discussion. One thing I've learned from supplement experimentation is that biochemistry heavily dictates the kinds of feelings and thoughts people are capable of. It's entirely possible we will be unable to persuade each other of much of anything, if our biochemistry doesn't make it salient to do so :).

Have a great day, wherever you are!!
Women taking 10x as much leave as men is great if you want to reinforce traditional gender roles about caregiving.

Personally, I'd be happier if the 40 weeks of "parental" leave was required to be split 20/20 (subject to obvious exemptions if there is no second parent who is eligible for EI). This would still leave women with 75% more leave than men -- but I think that's a reasonable compromise given that the maternity leave is intended to cover time when a birth mother is medically unable to work, recovering from birth, etc.

If I select multiple items, usually I do it from top to bottom (and from left to right). So I end up at the bottom of UI. And to run action I have to go back to the top? It's even worse if scrolling is involved.

Currently I think Tumblr stores all posts across all sites in one big table? WP.com does different tables per site.

I also think Tumblr's post ids are often above php's int max for 32-bit systems ( 2,147,483,647 ) -- I know I've seen some issues trying to parse tumblr's post ids to integers rather than strings on some old servers years ago.

For an overview of how our systems are run here's Barry, our head sysadmin, talking about six years ago on how the wpcom infastructure is structured:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57EJ8KDDBH0

It's changed somewhat, but not much conceptually. It's a really fascinating talk and I'd encourage anyone curious on massive scale data to give it a look, and see precisely what can be managed with determination and mysql and coffee.

Male here in the US who received paternity leave twice for my two kids; my spouse and I prescribe to traditional gender roles, we’re both happy with it, and I would forgo mandatory paternity leave if I had to split leave offered. I’d rather be earning a large dollar amount (doing something I enjoy) than child rearing, even if I had to hire a nanny. Just not something I’m interested in doing full time, and life is too short to do things you don’t want to do if you have the means.

I fully support leave, but leave it up to parents how they want to split it.
