It's not projecting my personal feelings. The government has the responsibility to keep society productive. If something is having a wide spread effect on a society's productiveness, then it's their responsibility to take action. If you disagree with this, then you basically oppose the idea of having elected leaders who are responsible for looking after the greater good of society. What is the alternative though? Non elected leaders, anarchy?

The other problem is that "Hongmeng" literally means "Red dream", which isn't ideal for a company that wants people to believe it isn't controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
Hi AbatPay. Do you mean in terms of where the funds are held between the transaction? Or more generally like trusting that merchants product?

It probably was late 2018 then. I don't know the specific dates because I don't work there anymore. All I remember is that I left a couple of months after her (uncorrelated with her leaving) and I left early this year.
I don't think people are surprised that it is fraud, just that there isn't a better way to prosecute it. If ExxonMobil's board hired a hitman to kill a competitor's CEO, I think people would hope that the response is to prosecute the board for murder and not merely for fraudulently claiming their company is valuable when they were actually relying on destabilizing their competitor. No one's defending the fraud, it just doesn't seem like the most important problem here.
if you limit the extent to which people are considered a "burden on the state", then the state doesn't have to exert such control over their lives. people are going to feel differently about how to make this trade-off.

speedometers seem pretty important to have (although I doubt cars would be designed without them in 2019 even if it were legal), as do headlights at night and in the rain. I don't think these are unreasonable laws, as they have a very obvious and direct impact on road safety.

I can't really agree with the arbitrary restrictions on alcohol purchases though. where I live, it is illegal for liquor stores to be open on Sundays. how is society helped by preventing me, a responsible and productive citizen, from buying some alcohol on one of my two days off from work?
I don't think anyone has ever claimed that it was the work of only one individual, and I'm referring to the literature (you can Google for it) showing that women face, among other kinds of discriminatory treatment, increased scrutiny. In other words, the reaction of some on HN (thankfully a minority, but a predictable and loud one) is a textbook case of sexism. Not recognizing that is not a matter of opinion but a simple ignorance of the scholarship on the subject.
I use a bicycle but I'd only do this if I enjoy it anyway, otherwise you're just paying with your time instead of money which is actually a worse deal.
I absolutely agree but if you think that the US companies are fighting fairly then you are sorely mistaken.

The US government and judicial system routinely interfere to give advantages and sometimes outright eliminate competitors to American companies.

A very good example is the way the acquisition of Alstom by GE was delivered.

They don't have solutions to all of the above.
Well, the way the chat history worked: it downloaded it from other devices. But it felt like it didn't cache it, and it tried to download your entire chat history. The mobile client would lag for a good minute as a result. Help you if you scrolled up.
One doesn't justify the other. Otherwise we're lowering the bar instead raising it.
This feature release has been a dumpster fire from my perspective. I love GitHub and what they are trying to do, but I read over the Actions documentation 2x and I still can't tell if my use case is supported: I just want to see if master builds on a net core app without spinning up or otherwise utilizing some other cloud instance.

Also, I am not even sure what the appropriate syntax to use is with all the mixed messaging and examples (YAML or the other thing? Which do I use!?).

Regardless of which variant of syntax I attempted, the actions UI told me there was some generic error and that nothing was to be done. One additional problem I noticed is that if you have a protected master branch, you are going to be forced to get code reviews from your team every single time you try to iterate on the workflow script. There is no apparent way to test or validate actions without committing directly to master and seeing what the result may be.

All around, a complete mess in my estimation. I will be sticking with Jenkins for the foreseeable future. This GH feature is apparently not designed for people who care about straightforward solutions to simple problems:

git clone <repo>
dotnet build
<if failure, flag build, create issue, send email, etc>

That is all I want to do, Microsoft. Can you handle that? I feel like there should just be a simple toggle switch in my GH repo for this concern, considering Microsoft is now responsible for that entire vertical stack.

Exactly. It went from a rich nation to a poor nation, to default, back to poor and free markets, then to progress then again back to the IMF. It’s a classical basket case country.
That seems... REALLY high; nobody I know has that kind of time. Does the older, retired crowd really spend so much time in front of the tv to bring the average up so much, or is there something else? Maybe house-spouses (is that the PC term for man and woman inclusive house-wife?) that leave the tv on all day (but aren't necessarily watching it)?
Ask HN: Why do many systems now turn emoji into :emoji_shortcodes: and similar?
Long ago we had mojibake, with many programs mangling Unicode. Eventually, almost all software handled Unicode properly. Then to celebrate… we started mangling emoji in a different way, re-encoding them into ASCII, as shortcodes and the likes.

The effect of this is that you now have to decode your Unicode strings to handle emoji properly.

Slack bots now receive :emoji_shortcode: rather than the actual emoji that I entered; and if they pass it on to another system, my emoji is now mangled, unless that tool implements emoji decoding, on top of the Unicode decoding it’s already done.

Or third-party clients: again, extra decoding needed to get the real emoji back.

Or, to take a slightly different tack, Dropbox Paper emails, with remote images disabled: it’s like Outlook all over again L, but this time with words instead of a letter white frowning face.

Or again, the sorts of things where you copy and paste and you get either an image or the name of the emoji, rather than the emoji itself.

To be clear: I’m not railing against emoji names or shortcodes as an input format, only as a storage and exchange format, where it seems to me strictly inferior.

I’m honestly flummoxed about why so many systems are doing this; I can’t think of any plausible reasons in favour of it.

• For accessibility tools that don’t know how to read emoji? No, these platforms still transform the emoji at display time, to use their own images or fonts; they could do it there.

• For Unicode forwards-compatibility? Unconvincing for the same reason.

• For custom emoji? Just use :emoji_shortcodes: for the custom emoji only, and normalise the rest back into Unicode.

I’m stuck and frustrated with these systems. Does anyone know why we’re normalising into a verbose ASCII format rather than into the proper Unicode code points?

He's living for a year on only food he planted or forages from naturally growing sources. He's in Orlando, Florida.

I find him inspirational. I'm now growing tomatoes, herbs, and salad greens in my windowsill and I've foraged several pounds of fruit and herbs from near my home -- and I live in Manhattan!

Yes, they did. I paid for a lifetime subscription to freedom just for this.
I went to Disneyland for the first time in 20+ years and it struck me how much people stare into phones. In lines of course, but also in the middle of rides? Just didn't seem healthy, like we are running a huge social experiment which eliminates talking and paying attention to those around you.
Depends on the service its running really.

I'd assume that you'd have key metrics plotted in grafana, so its case of following up/alerting on that

In previous cases, It was fairly simple, an alert was fired because the queue size ballooned. Looking at the machine stats we saw that all the ram cache had been ejected just at the same time performance started to drop.

Either way, its pretty trivial to put an alert on a stat in grafana.

however, your mileage may vary.

I would assume they have a clause about this in their user agreement, specifically because of this. Expect all big corporations to do the same soon and stop trusting them with photos because I don't think Facebook will turn the tide. This is likely going to be a one-off with other tech giants quickly patching the loopholes to make sure they can mine your data without any punishments. Not real ones, at least.
There's been lots of Jewish collaborators (kapo).

That’s correct but the taxes are waived if you can show insolvency, which is defined via a basic worksheet as an excess of debt over assets.

For most/many of the people going through a financial crisis that caused them to default that negates the tax effect.

I think this argument is a form of logical fallacy. I'd complain about any country that equated to the UK in some way. No country is perfect, some appeal to me more than others, countries like the UK do not and their implementation of governance conflicts with my principles.
> It comes down to trust - as soon as one of these companies did abuse their position to do something widely evil, the market consequences would be dire...

HAHAHAHAHA.

No.

Look at Nestle/Coca Cola/Pepsi sucking the earth dry of precious driking water.
Or the fallout for bankers over the 2008 recession.
Or VW.
Or Equifax making merry with your social security number.
Or Deepwater horizon.
Or Cambridge Analytica.
Or... you get the point.

I'd argue the market has precious few fucks to give about outright evil deeds. There are countless examples of corporations pillaging and raping the earth for short term gains, and the market thanks them for it.

Free market efficiency is true for only a very narrow range of operating parameters, and regulations are very much needed for tackling th ebig picture.

The bottomline being, given a fuzzy outline of the line in the sand, I'd still rather the government shoot for it. If they fall short by too much, we'll know soon enough because symptoms will persist. If they go too FAR, well, that's perhaps even better because I'd rather the default stance on new things be conservative skepticism and caution, and then we slowly allow more things once we deem them acceptable.
You're right. My miss. I focused more on the quote that on what's before.

There is a famous recipe of winning a cocking competition. Just add more salt and sugar. So for quite a few people that defines a taste. But if for some reasons one do not exposed to that, then I suppose food without salt or sugar tastes normally.

I think people in this thread suggest policies that are not centered around the problem that we are trying to solve.

Do we want to reduce meat production or do we want to reduce the negative climate impact of meat production?

It matters because the correlation is not straight forward. Different types of meats produce different environmental harm. Each meat type can be produced with different climate impact depending on production methods.

So the best policies would be centered around reducing (proportionally to other industries) environmental impact of meat production. So things like emissions tax, climate-friendly land use rewards make sense, while putting taxes on all meat production makes less sense.
I must be crazy then, and so are many people. Smoking less, driving more slowly, are better decisions than the alternative; but left to their own devices people will make the wrong decision most of the time.
Using zram swap in a recent Debian is as simple as installing "zram-tools" (and changing the size in /etc/default/zramswap if you're not happy with the default).
A challenge that I could see with convincing people to adopt a more plant based diet is that there is a carbon cost associated with shipping food across the country, but in many parts of the US a plant based diet might be much less appetizing if it is restricted to local crops. For example, much of the country wouldn't have access to citrus fruits, bananas, pineapples, or avocados.

Maybe a solution would be to tax food based on how long it was shipped but to exempt fruits and vegetables from the tax.
That answer avoids the question by suggesting it can be made irrelevant. But no matter how many preventative measures you put in place , there will still come situations when the fastest and safest way to save lives is by ending a life.

So again, what do you do? Respect the perpetrator's right to life and let him keep ending other lives? Or respect the victims' right to life and end the perpetrator's?

>It is just one person's opinion. You don't have to try to slam it down as 'petty'.

Why? if it is petty, why not slam it? it is a single opinion - do we need at least N people to share it before we can slam it?

>They didn't say they reject candidates based on this, simply that it doesn't make a 'good impression'. Weather you agree or not, it shouldn't be hard to understand why someone would think that.

Unless you make 'Good Impression' on recruiter you aren't gonna pass forward in the process, so it is indeed equivalent with rejection.

> “open” source

Not sure what that means, but open source is pretty much irrelevant in this market, for one because we already have Android and it doesn't help much.

If you want to fork Android, it's easy and except for Google's proprietary services, like the notifications, you get compatibility with the entire Android ecosystem out of the box.

So why is there no successful fork around, except for Amazon's, which is very niche and doesn't count?

Open source is defined by the freedom to fork. However if the market forces are such that forking isn't feasible, then the open source nature is irrelevant.

Going back to your usage of quotes in "open" source, if that's what you meant, well, unfortunately Huawei is not the FSF.

I don't think direct heroin-assisted treatment has been commonplace in the UK for a long time.

Yes, it may not be sufficient. But what we need is not only to change the short-term incentives, but to encourage employees to disregard these incentives when it is morally necessary to do so.
What a waste of time.

No one is forcing you to do any of this stuff. If you can find a job you like without doing it then that's awesome, but plenty of people can't. I'm suggesting a way that people can avoid being filtered out based on their resume because, whether you like it or not, wanting a candidate to demonstrate that they can code reasonably well before the interview stage is quite common.

I think people get a bit too hung up on the way FAANG-size corporations do hiring, with code tests, full time hiring managers, etc. That's only a fraction of the software industry, and if you're applying to somewhere smaller having a public portfolio is useful.
I applied to the most recent winter YC batch with the idea of, I want to help people put tech down and plug back into the world. Sadly, they weren't interested as it won't make 1 billion dollars in a few years for them to make bank on.

I think purely the attention companies get at demo day would have been a very powerful thing and I know there are countless tech types the world around that are fed up with technology in front of them all the time (and it's nothing new, I knew a programmer in the late 90s that got rid of his computer, then his game consoles, then his television because he just didn't want to be around the stuff outside of work). I mean, look at how many CS types buy hobby farms or talk about someday buying hobby farms. Look at a lot of the van life and tiny home types, same kinda thing.

I would love to help people take a step away from tech, if anything just to help myself.

Here's a snippet of something I wrote in 2017, it's probably the first time I really put thought into ME and tech

>In 1995 when I discovered the internet we got 60 hours a month, shortly after we got 120 hours a month. If the weather was nice you didn't give a shit about the internet, you were outside. If the weather was bad you'd connect to the internet, get lost in the text of a MUD. I remember the first time I saw an image on a website, the first time I saw video on a computer.

Here's another bit, this grows and evolves in me almost daily

>I've got 21st century burnout. I'm not alone, I know I'm not. I've got two friends that are of a similar mind. I want to live in a world where community is a thing, where life is simple, where the only real concerns are who's bringing what to the block party or what book I want to read next.

What's really crazy is just look at video games, the time we spend in video games is dumbfounding

>ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX BILLION HOURS A YEAR. That's 17,808,219 man-YEARS spent on video games annually. 17 million years wasted every year playing video games. Seventeen MILLION.

I break that out, using great works we've done, to show what we might accomplish if we just put down video games
