> and our intelligence community

What happens when a foreign or hostile intelligence community gets their hands on some of those secrets? Just because "your own" know them already doesn't mean they're completely worthless for all the others.

An adversary armed with such secrets can change the course of an election, undermine certain people and initiatives to promote others or change a company's leadership, etc. And they can do it with 0 accountability since they never have to ever directly leverage the information, just release it in very targeted ways to the people who will then do all the work, knowingly or not.

Having backdoors is a bad idea and it has proven as much time and time again. And coming out in public to say "corporations can have their way but regular people have to be kept on a leash" is exactly the kind of thing you'd expect from someone on the wrong side of such a backdoor, someone with no choice but to prostrate themselves.

How do any of those meaningfully point to a war though? Again a war between whom?

Assuming you're talking about the US pulling out of the INF treaty, that's not really a meaningful change. The Russians and various other countries were already largely ignoring it. Russia's territorial shenanigans are what really cemented the idea that we're not fighting a major super-power to super-power war ever again. The West has largely let it happen, and while I don't understand why, at this point it's hard to see why that would change. US troops have been in Europe for a long time. Whether you saw them more or less in the past, troop levels there haven't changed that much.
Doom Eternal – Battlemode Multiplayer Overview
Wierdly he mentions an extra $2000 in the article: "Two of our engineers were good friends of the existing engineers, and we give a $1000 bonus to employees who refer people that are hired.". And "Got coffee, drinks, and meals with friends that we know are strong engineers". Drinks and meals are surely quite expensive too.

But as implied, time and opportunity cost is what really matters, the dollars are minimal in comparison.

When founding our company, actual costs were low. Opportunity cost was large (not earning our existing salaries). Now the business is good and salaries vastly outweigh all other expenses (and we are in a low tech town, unlike SF).
> Now, people think video is the default medium for sharing one’s information

How people decided to default on the absolutely least effective medium for doing this is beyond me, but oh yeah, I’ve seen this.

For me it’s a clear sign of worthless content not worth my time.

If it’s not text, I’m not going to consume it. EOT.
what about pip freeze to requirements.txt for manually but solid dependency management under venv? pip takes care of dependencies be it venv or poetry, requirements.txt will record what's need so you make your project reproducible and portable. what else does poetry bring to the table? If there is a strong selling point I would like to try poetry again.

yarn came out great but these days I switched back to npm for the sake of simplicity of my workflow, especially npm absorbed yarn's good features.

same thing happens to parcel/webpack, the neat new tool beats the old players, but then the old dominant one catches up by taking in good stuff from its smaller competitors, quickly.
Because seeing the world differently is different from being malevolent.

If someone is acting malevolently, then you can rationalize basically anything with regards to hurting them or their well-being.

If someone just views the world differently, you will be annoyed by them, but probably not able to rationalize to yourself that they should not exist.
Definitely. I take most candid pictures with my phone nowadays... but if I have any kind of money tied to the photography, it's a DSLR (or soon maybe one of the higher-end mirrorless).

I know that when I hold it in my hand, I can go from off-to-on-to-take-well-exposed-sharp-picture in less than 1/15th of a second. With my phone there are times when the camera seems to take 5+ seconds to allow a picture to be taken. And with my older Sony alpha mirrorless startup times can go from 1-10 seconds, I guess depending on what mood the camera is in.

There's a reason professionals use chunky bodies even though they (sadly) severely lack good software processing—they get the image. You have to do more post processing still, but hopefully someday Nikon, Sony, Canon, et all will catch up to like 2010-era smartphone camera software :P
I have refused to get hired by google and Facebook because they give me the creeps. Duck duck go cannot afford me. Maybe, we can start our own search/social/nlp startup? I don't care about making any money, if you are in the same boat as I am (dreading the status quo, wanting to do something, don't need or not driven by money, reply to this and we will try to make it happen - reminds me of the hypersane post from a couple days ago btw, the crazies not driven by materialism and can see through shit).
I simply don't believe it.

Small particles kill, not sure if these are count but they are insignificant to other particles at these rates.

But there are air monitoring stations around the world, yet suddenly these new claims come out?

Especially given the hysteria around plastic particles.

Dust kills.

Plastic would to if you get the levels that hugely high, but you won't. But it still should have been measured before.
I think you're confusing the difference between capitalism and industrialism.
I read in this one report where the life expectancy from 1890-1960 increased from 40 years (of age) to 65. The highest increase ever in human history. During this time the US was going through an industrial revolution I believe? I'm not sure. With tons of factories and smoke stacks polluting the air. Yet quality of life was fine? I guess if we pair that with plastic falling from the sky there is nothing to worry about? Also the article mentioned the plastic particles were super small. Not sure if that would really hurt anyone. Likely marginal? What do everyone else think?
I really like this idea, although I'm still working my way through being able to create the right dockerfiles and etc for a given situation.

Only as a last ditch attempt to preserve some business assets and wipe out debt, after exhausting all other options to raise cash, improve sales, refinance, issue equity, restructure, or other normal business operations to keep the company operating.

And no, those six bankruptcies were not strategic, they were failures to operate a business. One bankruptcy is strategic, two a coincidence, six a signal of incompetence. The sheer number of shell corps he's founded and thousands of civil court cases points to exploiting investors through shady practices.
Great question! In our agreement, we set the initial sales price for the customer. However, for every 30 days it does not sell on the open market, they can lower the price by up to 5% until it sells. So, if it ultimately sells for a loss as a result, we would still provide the loss protection.

In the event that a customer wants to buy us out after 3 years. The rate used to calculate change in on paper value is derived from the median home price rate of change from that neighborhood. The value comes from the MLS and it's a rate that neither we as a company nor our customer can artificially manipulate. So, we think it's the best representation of the market change.

If the overall house market is falling, our hedging instruments will provide us enough revenue to offset our customer's losses. If it's not a market wide recession, the gains from some contracts should very easily offset some of the losses along with our own capital we use to guarantee the loss.

These methods combined should allow us to guarantee the losses in all different market scenarios.
FWIW: CK doesn't appear to show SSNs or account numbers which would limit the damage from this kind of error.
Gee, I felt like the first part of your comment was serious enough. (No really, I feel the same: scared).

Short answer though is no, this is a hardware problem. Best thing we can hope to do is force societal change via votes from the upcoming generations. No one who didn't live with this issue as a constant din in their life (i.e. boomers) is going to be able to make the hard lifestyle sacrifices/reimaginings that it will take. I'm just getting myself settled into adulthood now (early thirties) and I worry that we're too far gone and divided already.
There's way more than algorithm tweaking going on there. There are employees who are manually treating the same thing differently, depending on who and also subject to their own biases. The examples of this on YouTube are legion.

Also, there are people who gained viral notoriety, but were going against YouTube/Google politics, then had their whole Google account disappear, then get restored, or remain disappeared. There's some thumbs on the scale over there.
This article is arguing strongly for the core value of the recruiter - time saving.

True that founders must spend time recruiting, but this person has essentially turned the job of company founder into the job of recruiter. Founders should have better things to do than make the incredible time commitment this person describes.

OK recruiters cost money, but isn't the founder's time worth something?

>> I’ve had coffees or breakfasts with probably hundreds of candidates.

This is not how to do recruiting, it's wasteful of the recruiter and the job seekers time.

The first interview should be a phone interview and it should be sufficiently detailed that any in person meeting coming out of it appears to meet many of the requirements.

If you are doing hundreds of coffee meetings then you're wasting vast amount of time.

It may sound trivial but the denim thing is signalling "young".
I shoot manual all the time.

During the day, I set the exposure once and change it when conditions change. That mostly works out but can be annoying when clouds and sunshine change often.

During golden hour or blue hour I want absolute control to get the lighting just right.

For astrophotography the camera's guess will completely wrong, so you have to shoot manual.

During night-time street photography, I dial the ISO up and set it to shutter priority mode. I want the time to be ideally over 1/200, otherwise movements of people start to streak. That often looks ugly. It can look nice but then it's an artistic choice and I set the exposure time accordingly.

So, long story short, I almost never use aperture mode.
I never realized The coca-cola company was so motivated by environmental concerns they’d stick their neck out like that. I guess it’s like the old chevron commercials, “people do”!
Yeah... I'd agree more if that were actually true. In my experience it actually says "we like to think that we limit bureaucracy and politicking." Whether they actually do, you won't be able to tell.

This aspect of language is all signalling but very little actual signal. It's unfortunate.
As a jury consultant who's worked on a lot of securities and M&A-gone-wrong litigation, I don't understand why you think it would be beneficial for pitch deck stuff to go into a disclosure. If I were a defendant accused of making misrepresentations, I'd most likely want the pitch deck kept out. "Pitch deck stuff" is aspirational, to put it charitably. A defendant would ideally want to take the opposite position-- that it made only bullshit-free, clear-eyed representations about upside prospects and downside risk.

Also, I totally disagree about the evidentiary issue and would venture to say you're wrong. First of all, the idea that you'd need to cram a pitch deck into a filing in order to get it into evidence is downright silly. A defendant could easily get it into evidence through a fact witness or PMQ. Second, and more importantly, you wouldn't want to do it in anticipation of litigation because you'd lose any control you might otherwise have had over its admissibility (a filing like that would be pretty much guaranteed to come into evidence). Third, and relatedly, you wouldn't want to do it because, pursuant to my second point, it's then going to come into evidence in all of your cases. As they say, the record is forever.
Tangent: the article includes a chart titled "Unicorns Gored" with the caption, "Many of the highly valued young technology companies have not done well as public companies". It features 9 relatively recent tech IPOs, including Lyft, Dropbox, Spotify, and Snapchat. All of the companies have a negative delta in terms of initial stock price, from -47% to -2%, except for Pinterest, which is +77%. I actually had forgotten Pinterest IPOed, and I guess that's a reflection of how much I get my tech news from HN. Pinterest seems very underdiscussed on HN [0] relative to its market cap – $17.5B vs Lyft's $15.8B and Dropbox's $7.3B. I guess that's a function of how relatively few HNers may be Pinterest users?

The gist of the article is that setting up software to build/run/deploy is difficult. And it absolutely is.

Nobody wants to play version whack-a-mole trying to set up a project. I am not a Node guy at all, and the other day at work I had to make a few changes to an internal UI, all which required a working npm environment. Sure, no problem. Except that I had to try 3 different versions of node to avoid a cryptic error message, due to I think fsevent (which isn't even required for running the project, just building it) just to get npm install to work.

Docker has great benefits in that it really forces a developer to encapsulate all of its dependencies in one place.

There is definitely a large amount of binary bloat with this, which is unfortunate but I suppose we are back to the static vs dynamic linking argument on that.

Haha it's not really about the stock itself. It's about how you bet in the market. If you truly believe that the market will fall, you can short sell and index fund or purchase some put options on that index. If the market does fall, you will make money as a result.

You just need to make sure the instrument you are betting against is representative of the overall market.

The two largely go hand in hand. You need capital to start new industries. Industrialism, in turn, generates lots of capital that people are going to want to invest thus leading to more capitalist activity. Industrialism without capitalism has been attempted in the USSR and PRC, both of which ended up adopting capitalism. No industrial society managed to remain non-capitalist for more than 50-60 years which is incredibly short in the context of global history.
Unfortunately, that was from before smartphone ubiquity. Possibly the story is also from before YouTube, but the recounting of it was not.
physically, to make startup a success out of 99% failure rate, you have to laser focused with a small capable team to break through somewhere. A loose team is really hard to make profit before everyone is burned out. Hiring is painful, or the most painful plus it's super time consuming and distracting, finding nice peers sharing equity is even harder, harder than finding a wife on tinder I feel. I don't have better ideas though.

I agree with the core insight here, I've always found that MMOs are lacking something when it comes to community building. I remember the community that I felt when I was playing the initial release of WoW and really knowing the people on my server. Not sure if that experience is something that can be repeated, it felt like it was just right for it's time.
Unfortunate to be in your position. My solution is to not have HR and be a tiny company where we can happily ignore that kind of tedium.

In a default scenario, the temptation for the building owners and ultimate tenants to cut bilateral deals and screw over the middle man (WeWork) would be huge. For the owner it's win-win - they keep cashflow coming in and if the deal remains short term then they can replace the tenant with someone who will sign a longer-term lease once markets recover fairly easily.

> including some that the CEO owns and they lease from him

Did you see the part of the filing where, in case of death or incapacitation in the next ten years where the CEO is unable to fulfill his duties, a group of two board members _and_ his wife will select the next CEO, and if those named board members are also not available anymore then his wife will solely pick the two board members who will pick the next CEO with her, and if _she_ is unavailable then the estate of the CEO and his wife will pick the next CEO?

I've never seen a company like this transfer to successive control via the private estate of the CEO in case of a vacancy. There's a lot of WTFs in here.

Everybody is allowed to vote, as long as they are white: Felt like a real democracy but is a fake

Everybody is allowed to vote, except women. Felt like "the best democracy" once upon a time, but is also fake. Not even a half democracy.

Many of the things that today are normal could (and will) be deeply embarrasing in the future and so similar to a real democracy as a plastic imitation of a turd coated in glitter.

A real democracy is difficult to find, but really easy to spot. Must fulfill this three rules: 1) One adult citizen, one vote 2) All citizens are equal and therefore all of their (legally issued) votes score the same. No votes can count double or x100. The only vote scoring less than other is the x0 blank vote. AND 3) everybody can apply for candidate if they desire so, and participate on an equal footing.

If one of this three rules can't apply you have spotted a fake: Everybody can vote freely and is encouraged to vote, but there is only a party allowed to show... rule 3, you have found a dictatorship.

If there is a group of people legally allowed to vote, that put a valid vote, but their votes are then zeroed and removed in postproduction then is the rule 2.
I'm not a googler, have never been, and never plan to be. I still don't trust Project Veritas, who have proven to not be legitimate or trustworthy on multiple well documented occasions. The docs might be real, but what if they've been altered (as some of the wikileaks dumps have been) or are missing critical parts? They've proven time and again they're not impartial, so I take everything they say with a very strong lens that they're full of it or have skewed reality to fit their ultra-conservative (dare I almost say alt-right) supporting agenda.
