I think you are misunderstanding the purpose of this cheap PR move.
Statelessness is not a trait of serverless. Serverless, as poorly named as it is, just means that you don't have to manage servers, nor do you have any control over the servers.

There are plenty of stateful serverless services. DynamoDB, BigQuery, Serverless Aurora, etc. In all these cases, you get statefulness without managing or controlling servers.

My only question with corporations is: what checks and balances will be in place this time around to prevent corporations from:

-Rampant corruption: (i.e. funding anti-global warming, pro-tobacco propaganda science, etc. Bribing governments. Trashing the environment.)

-Racketeering (i.e. Missouri & Kansas suing opioid manufactures under RICO, rent-seeking behavior/aspirations exhibited by nearly every major industry today)

-Protecting bad/lazy CEOs, Officers & Board Members (i.e. golden parachutes, do-nothing Board Seats filled by nepotism)

-Blocking strategic decisions in the name of providing value to shareholders (i.e. Stock buybacks over R&D, laying off experienced engineers in favor of cheap juniors, etc.)

...

So what if you have to wait a bit to have some one hook up your A/V equipment? Corporations generate their own byzantine bureaucracy without any help from unions (try getting a upfront quote for a medical procedure sometime). What undesirable activity would industry-wide unions do? Prevent IT outsourcing? Force considerations in international trade relations? Claw back some profits for workers instead of shareholders? Slow down the frantic rush to turn every industry into a duopoly? Put a check on C-Suite compensation? Hold a general strike the next time there is a push to get us into a war?

I look at the shenanigans going on at WeWork and others, and I start to think maybe capital shouldn't be trusted to the Capitalists. Re-Unionization is really the only way I see to reign things in before the next generations turn to full-fledged-capital-S Socialism.

> Dude, work has been by the rich, for the rich, for about as far back as I know of. Probably forever.

And indeed the link is even more basic than that. Once you get past what you can spend to maintain a lifestyle, wealth is basically a measure of how much of societies resources you can call in, and to make more of it the better options are to organise people to do useful work.

It isn't a class thing that the rich organise the work. Organising people is approximately what makes a person rich.

If someone is organising large numbers of people and is poor ... that is more than a choice, they'd have to be working quite hard not to be bouyed into wealth. It is easy and natural to leverage followers into riches.

Tapping Indian cities’ unrealised growth potential
Not exactly a game but I'm working on a random character generator that procedurally generates content from tropes.

http://random-character-generator.com

Though not originally planned to be a game, it could well be one. The engine can basically do anything that a d100 table would do and make sure the results doesn't conflict. Not just characters but teams, dungeons, building designs, town districts, plots and plot hooks, and so on.

One day, I'd love to be able to generate a full plot - hero, villain, intro scene, the call to adventure, training montage, conflict, initial defeat, climactic last battle against all odds, victory and rewards. What I'd like to do is have the users fill in a few blanks like monster type, conflict type (e.g. war, comedy, romantic) and then have the algorithm search for a story that meets those conditions, as well as the dramatic inflection points.

The bottleneck now is the speed of adding content. I'm currently retiring the current prototype to build it properly, and allow others to make their customized story content.
To me, a company that isn't single-mindedly pursuing profit, including breaking laws that have a quantity (penalties * probability of enforcement) that is small in comparison to the upside of breaking those laws - that's a sign of corruption at the company, not the opposite behavior. It just means that somebody is using the company to direct business to other companies that they have more control over, and are easier to loot.

Governments are supposed to circumscribe the actions of public companies; they're chartered by governments as a tool of governments to accomplish government business. Companies should, within those boundaries, pursue profit for their owners.

Yup. I bought a Golf R in 2015, after BMW brought the 3 series wagon (f31) to the US without a manual transmission for the first time. Honestly, a top-end Golf is nicer than the lower-end BMWs. The Golf had the fob-based touchless/keyless entry like BMW, and it worked flawlessly. Really loved it. (I now have a 2011 X5 with the same type system).
I can see how the symptoms listed could lead to the obstacles listed. However, as a religious person, I do regularly treat my desires as irrelevant to what I should do - and I do not exhibit the symptoms listed. So not sure what to make of that. Seems there is another way to have duty.
> But why, why, why? Why can't native dropdowns have an integrated search?

Search filtering requires UX/biz logic:

- Do you search only the beginning of the string or look for contained substrings?

- How do you prioritize results: whole-word matches or position of the substring?

- Do you highlight/bold the matching portion of the string?

- Spaces: ignore or include? Or search all results to see if spaces are relevant and if so, then use them...?

> With just a little bit of intelligence we could have controls that adapt to the offered choices: for example if < N show radio buttons, else show a dropdown, if too many - show a search box with auto-complete. Why is this so difficult?

You'd have the overhead of a search component just to show a couple of radio buttons.
In downtown Portland, OR my options are: Comcast with a monthly data cap and irregular throttling, Centurylink with a monthly data cap and irregular throttling at about the same price as Comcast, or a variety of minor providers with even stricter monthly data caps and/or other limitations inherent in service (eg. satellite internet).
Typical NYT - they can’t resist blaming warmer summers (always climate change). WRONG Portugal has been quite cool last 2 summers, I moved to Cascais 2 years ago from UK, my wife constantly complains how cold it is here especially because I promised her warm weather! eg today has been typical, only 21 degrees C in August. However has been sunny and incredibly windy, I suspect the wind contributes more to fire risk than high temperature.

I really like this. Dementia (and related disorders) are still very misunderstood by the general public. Anything like this that brings awareness in a positive way, especially for the patients themselves, is a very good thing.
The issue is the more prevalent this stuff becomes, the more the bad drives out the good. Its the same argument about corrupt police departments, all the good cops either leave, or are forced out by their corrupt co-workers.
This supposed legal requirement is a myth. Managers have a lot of leeway in how to justify their decisions as somehow related to corporate interests. The company lawyers are not going around warning managers that if they don't pursue shareholder value, they are putting the company at legal risk. It's not something regulators care about. Company training courses warn employees not to do various illegal things that could get the company in trouble, but failure to pursue shareholder value isn't one of them. (The closest thing might be spending corporate funds on yourself instead of legitimate business expenses.)

The pursuit of shareholder value is more of a cultural norm. Top management and many employees have stock or stock options, so naturally everyone is happy when the stock goes up. Increasing revenues and profits are almost always rewarded. This is all justified as aligning employees' interests with shareholder value.

The article shows that some companies might be moving away from this a little bit. In practice, employees are people who can be motivated by beliefs other than what personally benefits them, and the statement provides a bit of philosophical cover for that. But I expect that growth will continue to be considered good.
this whole program requires that the h1b visa worker is at the level or above the level of their US counterpart. this creates a very disturbing incentive with regards to the US educational system. the decline of the us public educational system coincides with the advent of this whole program. plus I don't believe there's a limit on student visas which are being abused in the same way to fill academia with cheap foreign labor.

the other thing the program incentivize is over inflating unemployment numbers and other economic indicators. you can't justify the hiring of h1b or the expansion of the program if the unemployment numbers are high. of course the recent low unemployment numbers turned out to be a sham considering how the fed fund rates were lowered and inversion of the yield curve.

To make sure terms are correct, "Weak" currency means higher Yuan:USD conversion rate. Devaluing your currency makes exports more attractive to other countries and tends to create capital inflows (my 1 USD can buy a lot more Yuans, meaning cheaper to buy buildings/business!).

"Strong" currency means lower Yuan:USD conversion. Flip above.

Looking at the past, there's an odd floor that happens originally at 8.5 in the late 90s and 2000s. Many argued this was intentionally weak to help grow their export economy.

Then the rate rose to 6.83 in the late 00s and 2010s. Some argued this was intentionally strong to prevent capital outflows. Since then the rate has been in the 6s and seems to float more naturally until the recent dive into the >7s, indicating a weakening of the Yuan. People always saw 7:1 Yuan:USD as the weakest point China was willing to let their currency fall.

So, in the recent past, they're accused of artificially keeping the Yuan strong (esp in the global financial crisis) but now it seems like they're allowing it to devalue naturally.

Soviet Union had show trials and U.S. has show letters. The legal purpose of a corporation is to generate returns for shareholders. If training employees and helping customers advances that goal, then corporations should do it. Otherwise - no. Goes without saying that corporations should maximize shareholder value using legal means only.

Irrational has two meanings:

“Not logical”, which by definition does not apply to math.

“Not a ratio”, e.g., a number that cannot be written as the division (ratio) of two whole numbers.

It should be no surprise to anyone, that calculus deals with the latter, but the title would allude to the article dealing with the former.

There is a big difference though in that H1B workers do have a right of exit from
the US. They can seek employment in their home country or other places with skilled immigration programs.

I’m fairly confident people who read my above comment will see the context for this qualification and know that I see this program as abusive. It does mean a workers right to leave an employer is very limited. It is possible to find a new sponsor and remain the us (though frankly that kind of talk makes me a little ill, the notion that to leave a job a worker needs a new corporation’s permission to remain, and choose from a restricted range of employers and job titles).

But that right of exit does help avoid some of the really horrifying violations of basic human rights that accompanied earlier incarnations of suppression of free labor mobility.

My framework is focused on 8 simple steps, which you can use for building your community:

1. Give the best learning opportunities for the community.

It can be guides, e-books, podcasts, newsletters, courses. Learning content not only gives you SEO-traffic. It helps to position your brand\startup as thought leaders and industry experts.

So when someone from the community has a question, you already have an answer to that. Firstly, companies nurture community via useful educational content. And you'll see that all companies in the design space do that.

Its feelgood window dressing, with no concrete goals, completely meaningless and subjective statements of value, no plan of action, and zero commitments.

Its precisely engineered to make you think the issues it appears to be talking about are being acknowledged and addressed, when in reality, they are going to be completely ignored, then when, and if, it is brought up as criticism, it can be completely deflected from because the things it says are so totally subjective.

This is 100% PR bullshit designed to mislead you like this.

As a newcomer to Rust, wishing that this post was one of the first ones I've read about this topic. It took scouring through many many posts, some of them here on HN, to be able to grasp some of the same idea. (I may not be alone, judging from the very long discussion the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20719095)
There is a very fine line between file system and any old tree structure or database (which could arguably also be a file system, depending only on the agent implementation), so it's great that the video gives a Unixy understanding of what a file is.

In that sense, many of the infosec "hacker" scanners, you can traverse the results in the same way as you would a file system-- sometimes like a web-based file system, and sometimes a CLI-- allowing you file-like access to either the affected file/service/etc or a file containing the analysis info for that particular file/service/etc. These usually contain separate files in the same virtual directories (eg: a link to the port/service, a text capture of the connect header, a text explaining the associated vulnerability, etc), that exist nowhere together outside of the application's logical structure.

This also goes for a lot of the traffic capturing or editing proxies. Look at Wireshark, for example. If you think of the initial capture as a virtual file system, and everything captured as files, then the magical result you get by "follow stream" (which essentially re-assembles a file that was split into several network fragments) makes full sense. You can of course simply copy that followed stream to your local FS, completing the filesystem-like behaviour.

Another example is the Linux loop driver. It isn't specifically, but can be used for creating "fake" file systems. It's usual purpose is to mount encrypted file system images, so it can be argued that the unencrypted file system only effectively exists in memory and gets physically populated only as required, in the same manner as gitfs and ytfs.

And then that reminds me of a really common example: zip utils, and everything that uses them. For example, Midnight Commander (mc), and many other file managers. You can click on a zip file, and traverse it like a file system, even though that file system is only virtual and lives only in the application's memory space and whatever OS handling is needed to facilitate the filesystem-like access.

An Aside: I very much prefer the term "virtual file system" over "fake." The reason is, even with the given examples in the video, at least 2 of them are based on actual file systems, and their corresponding agent is acting more as a direct proxy between them. Youtube is a directory structure of files retrieved by html queries. Github is exactly the same in that regard, except that the file system hierarchy is more transparent. So those aren't fake, but to your mount point, they are virtual. By referring to all of these FS drivers as "fake" you end up including all remote file system accesses (including SMB and every website ever) as fakes when they clearly aren't.
Sorry, that was a bit unclear. I meant that we have studied a lot but that doesn't scratch the surface of whats there. So much distance, such a wide range of movement, and hidden social activity that while we can listen its hard to see the environmental context to decode it.

They can communicate with us pretty ok. Notorious acid head government contract grifter John Lilly's assistant [0] got a young male dolphin to screech count all the way up to six (i think) in english in exchange for erotic massage.
