>That might be what they tell themselves, but I can guarantee that if all the HK youth got cushy finance jobs

This is so cynical it makes me sad. Some people have principles that are not necessarily the best for their own personal outcome, but they are deeply felt.

I've never been an ambitious person, but I appreciate those that are and all they have created. I do live by principles, however, and my own personal well-being comes second to the idea of liberty.

There is a reason HKers were carrying American flags-> because America is an idea. I certainly support the people of HK protesting this power-overreach.
But those papers (the ones I'm familiar with) are human labelled - the challenge with anomaly detection is winnowing out the events that humans believe are really anomalies from the coincidences and permutations in the data which normal statistics sees as very unusual.

Plastics have helped a lot in the hygiene aspects of food, as much as some people think (very naively) that food can't make you sick. Especially if you live in a country with warmer temperatures and low infrastructure (hello Climate Change)
BER is it's own special case, but the general gist I'm piecing together from media reports is that Germany has a planning problem because there are not enough government workers to plan projects.

For example, there is a budget reserved for infrastructure. The poor regions often fail to produce good enough project plans in time. The richer regions have more planners and present additional projects at the end of the year to get the left over money.

I'm not sure why all these negativity. WeWork's business model is no different than buying wholesale and selling retail. Or owning a mall and selling pieces to individual shops. It's an old idea and old business model. WeWork is able to sell 200 sq ft for $5000/month. Think about that for a bit. Their strength is diversification by multi-tenancy which means even if x% of customers fissals, you got others to pay for the cost. They are tech company in a sense they enable instant on-demand exchange of goods online just like on-demand renting of cars or scooters. They are fast movers and online-first company. We don't know if they are losing money just in growth markets or also in mature markets. If later is true then I would be worried about their cost structure and long term viability. Otherwise at their current ability to successfully convince customers to pay top dollars, they should be awesomely profitable once they stop bleeding in growth markets.
Your boss cannot measure that, I would argue, because he's incompetent (assessing progress of subordinate is a primary management function)

As a boss myself, if my developers finish early, they are free to go. I can read their code and pull requests, I know who is pulling their weight.

When I worked at Google, all of my bosses (including project managers) could read code at a superficial level, and accurately assess progress, so it's certainly not unique to my org.

There's better options out there

> States, however, are an important part of the United States of America

The current system claims to be a Union of States, but the current system also defines a goal of a more perfect Union . The Constitution was meant to be a living document, IIRC Jefferson himself believed that it should be rewritten every generation. If the right to govern comes from the mandate of the people, then does the creation of a more perfect Union not entail representation of people not states? From first principles it still doesn't make sense to me why we should privilege the rights of states over the rights of people.
I work for a Japanese automation company and we’ve been getting a huge surge in projects in Vietnam. Some things here are definitely exaggerated.

Birth rates in Vietnam are already below the replacement rate and dropping.

Poverty is a colossal problem. People get paid a couple hundred bucks a month at major internationals. Cost of living is massively lower, but downtown apartments for average people (and not mansions for foreigners making average foreign wages) aren’t in a great state. Rather dilapidated, in fact. Streets are sometimes torn up and left wide open while construction is going on, turning on high energy electronics might trigger a localized blackout (had this happen with an AC at a restaurant near Hanoi), and outside urban cores, you’ll see many homes with 4 plain concrete walls and makeshift doors and ceilings. Dirt floors aren’t surprising. Roadside restaurants and cafes are just tents and shops are shoddily built shacks.

That said, Vietnam is full of great people who are hopeful about their future. Progress is evident, but the poverty there is very real and the improvements aren’t equally distributed.

It's not really a bank because you aren't making loans because interest rates are negative.

If interest rates were positive, you would want to make loans, but then nobody would want to put physical euros into your vault in the first place.

The structure of the Federal government is fundamentally geared towards mediating the relationships between the various states, as that was its original purpose. Actual governance of the populace was the purview of state government.

Over time, however, decisions about domestic law have increasingly been made at the Federal level. At this point, the interstate commerce clause in the Constitution is used to justify almost any regulation that the Federal government wants to pass. When that doesn’t work, availability of Federal tax money is made contingent on states aligning their laws with whatever national policy is.

Also, the legislature has been ceding its rule-making authority to the executive by passing broadly-worded legislation and leaving the details to administrative rules committees that work for the executive.

I suspect that ‘vturner is suggesting the correct fix is to shift the overall balance of power back towards the more democratic parts of government instead of reforming the election process of the government’s chief clerk.

Layer is shutting down: What happened and what you can do
For those of you now left scrambling for an alternative, we think Mirrorfly could be right for you. If you were fond of Layer's early focus on clever developer tools, you'll love working with ours. We focus completely on creating all the things you need to make implementing Mirrorfly straightforward. This includes SDKs for every platform, comprehensive example code and example apps, a focus on guides and tutorials (which we're heavily expanding), and even complete flexibility in connecting the other services you use.

Show HN: Write,push code via your smartphone
Hi Gilbert, and maker of CodeTroll CI https://codetroll-app.firebaseapp.com, an app that helps you write, push code using your smartphone app.

We are always bumping into constant changes as developers where your clients ask for changes constantly and if you're a long commuter like me who spends almost in total 4hrs each day, a tool that can help make small changes to any codebase comes handy.

CodeTroll provides an easy interface to write code like a chat app, push functionality that connects to your favorite git clients.

I am not sure if the problem is severe, but if you have any questions or feedback please reachout.
Nah - they have to give you something, as not everywhere will accept it and people would then panic about "I'll be stranded if my phone's not working".

So you get the pretty little physical card to tick off that worry. They clearly don't want you to actually use it unless you have to though, hence halving the rebate.
move dst, src, src -- I could stop right here, but wait, there is more!

lui, auipc -- because two instructions are better than a simple move.b or move.w. Really, what nonsense.

sx, ux - I'm speechless at that nonsense.

bltu, bgeu -- because blt and bge just weren't enough -- who designs a processor like this?

lb, lh, lhu, lbu, sltiu instead of move.b, why? I challenge the sales pitch of making more nonsensical instructions amounting to a simpler processor design! (Boy does this make me mad.)

It's not a slur, it really is utterly retarded, especially if one used to program an elegant microprocessor like the UltraSPARC or the Motorola 68000; even the MOS 6502 is more elegant.

But to each his own, live and let live, right? Well why then must this botched processor constantly be sold and paraded as the greatest thing since sliced bread, a non plus ultra of processors, when it isn't?

It can only mean lossy. It makes no sense to talk about visually lossless if it is exactly the same image.
As a smug postgraduate I find it kinda odd I'd be called out as an undergraduate, since I found the article funny. Cheers.
The negativity is around how they are asking to be valued. They want to be valued at tech company revenue multiples but are running a real estate business. As the article evaluates unlike a tech company there is really no opportunity for exponential growth without also adding a proportional amount to their costs.
It's a bit more nuanced than that. Resolution is meaningless unless you know the size of the image and the distance to the viewer - so keeping a "lossless" copy makes sense for people professionally buying very expensive hardware. It's no different than keeping the original reels of a movie so you can scan them at higher and higher resolution as technology improves. In other word, the final product will always at best be limited by the format the source is kept in. That is not to say that even amateur videophiles have a use for it, they just want the best and mimic the professionals.

As for frame rate I'm pretty sure we know from experiments that the average human eye can see the difference in frame rate all the way up to 150-160 fps, and that the trained eye can detect images shown for less than 1/200 second.

So however marginal the gain is, it makes sense for professionals that take pride in having the absolutely best quality. It's the same people that will finetune encoder settings for the individual scenes in a movie just to get that tiny improvement.
I used to have this issue but in my case it just meant I was missing some OS dependencies so it might vary on a case by case

You are projecting the circumstances of Northern Europe. But this is a tough place to get by. So is Northern China etc.

It's about Webmin, again. I really hate this "you need to click to find out what this article is about" trend in "journalism".
It's share was definitely stagnating around the time Chrome came out. I advocated heavily for Firefox at the time, but it was not enough. Not a surprise that many Firefox engineers went on to create Chrome at Google, Firefox codebase was still carrying the burden of old Netscape and it took them 10 years to modernize it.
The commute may influence this. The average American commute is about 30 minutes each way. That's 1 hour round trip.

Commute as a portion of work time....

4 hrs work: 25%

5 hrs work: 20%

6 hrs work: 16.7%

7 hrs work: 14.3%

8 hrs work: 12.5%

Considering you don't get paid for your commute, there is a natural incentive to work more hours.
Agreed. Even the class syllabi that used to be published on the public web are increasingly requiring a school login.
I have met at least one vegetarian (who is also a utilitarian) who has said that many species of animals currently suffer so much that it would be better if those species were all dead. I've heard of others who share this opinion. I call it the "Final Solution" to animal welfare; I think the name is quite appropriate.

Anyway, well, then, that seems to leave some big question marks. How is everyone who goes through utilitarian moral reasoning supposed to decide between help and neglect, and hope to come up with the same answer? (Because if two people come up with sufficiently different answers, it may lead to one or both concluding that the expected utility of violently enforcing obedience from the other person is worth the cost, unless they have deontological rules of some sort. Like the kind that the article says Mill supported.)

One absolutely crazy problem, at least in the UK, is that supermarkets sell pre-packed fruits and vegetables cheaper than the equivalent weight loose. I can't think of any logical reason why.
>> I made no such assumption.

>>You literally wrote "all else equal" in your comment.

That's different from the assumption that all competitors are equally likely to win.

>You're assuming speeds are normally distributed

No. Any distribution will work.

>Where is this data that you're citing here?

I didn't say anything about data. I said your argument has a blatant mathematical flaw. You said "why would it matter" in response to "if 90% of the competitors [are men]". It absolutely matters. Even if you do turn out to be correct about women being worse at this sport, you are only right in the broken clock sense.

>Put another way, if Michael Phelps is racing he's going to win. You can only win by beating him, the rest of the field doesn't matter.

The people who show up to the race are coming out of some distribution. Michael Phelps isn't showing up to every race. The probability that you win the race comes down to how fast you are vs. the max of n samples from the distribution of runners.

The list of the winner of some annual marathon is a really shitty piece of evidence. Out of all the racers and times taken, it gives us data on exactly one of them. It is especially useless to try and breakdown running ability by demographic because it doesn't even tell us how much data we have on each demographic of interest.

If you don't see why just citing the list of marathon winners fails to reject the hypothesis that women and men are about equal at ultra-marathons, then you don't understand what makes for a good data-supported argument.

From my PoV blockchain can be the solution for a lot of things, but is not suited for most of these problems. It is "just" a technology like any other, but with a focus on trust in decentralized systems. If you need this then blockchain could be a good solution, but this does not mean that it fit your needs in transaction speed etc.
>The finance industry is already planning to exit HK (too volatile)

They have been saying this since 1997 and I have yet to see it happen. In order to have a functioning finance industry, you need people with education and a willingness to move.

Bankers won't move to China because a) personal risk b) no banker I know actually likes staying in China (they always fly back over the weekends) and c) 60% tax rate. And people just don't trust the legal system there. And Hong Kong is the next closest things.

The only bankers that I have seen move from HK to China is when they pay them 10x the salary. Those are usually family offices with private equity money. It just isn't sustainable to do.

Also, Hong Kong provides a lot of financial benefits for mainland Chinese companies. That's why there are so many shell companies in Hong Kong. All those benefits will evaporate if moved elsewhere. Even Singapore is 3-5x more difficult for a Mainlander to open a company. Added to the fact Mainlanders have no sway on the Singaporean government and have a history of cracking down hard on criminals, they are much more reluctant to swap HK for Singapore.

All this talk about the financial industry in HK going down is just wishful thinking. Even Mainlanders are logical when it comes down to business. They won't shot themselves in the foot. That's why they have been showing restrain. It's not because they are afraid of another Tiananmen Sqaure. It's because they are looking at their wallets. How much damage it would do to their own companies.
I used containers in production since 2002. We knew back then that containers are escapable and nothing changed since. Containers are for ease of management - package and configuration sepparation. One role per container. In absolutely no case are they meant for multi tenant cases.

Containers are fine the way they are. Just use them for the right job.

> (The main downside of hypervisors is that they are difficult to run on low-cost commodity cloud like Digital Ocean. You are forced to use bare metal stuff like Hetzner, AWS, Paket Cloud etc. The whole point of cloud is that the hardware/infrastructure is mostly abstracted away. If I have to run my own hypervisor just to ensure the container doesn't get broken out of, what's the point even calling it cloud?)

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but the hypervisor in the cloud (i.e. the VM running under your "instance") is to protect the cloud provider from you. The Hypervisor you're running (firecracker, kata containers, gvisor, nabla, etc) are to protect your dangerous workloads from your other workloads.

It is totally within your power to choose to run 1 cloud "instance" per workload so you don't have to worry about cross-workload contamination, but if you want to effectively multiplex your workload on constantly available machines, you're going to have to mix your workloads, and that almost certainly requires protection of some kind.

In an ideal world we might all be getting VMs that were unikernels that are a bit safer to use but in general it feels like you need to isolate these workloads somehow if you're going to run them on the same "instance". What does your perfect/preferred world look like?
LXC+LXD is one of the most undervalued container technologies out there. It can do a lot of cool things (like live migration via criu), and is IMO more production ready than Docker ever was.

For those wondering about the distinction between "system" containers and "app" containers, the difference is user namespacing -- I think we should stop using the naming difference but instead go with specifying that the containers "full user name spacing". User namespacing is the "magic sauce" for projects like Podman and a related project Buildah which builds images without root privileges -- the combination of user namespaces and FUSE.

BTW for those wondering if container orchestrators like Kubernetes will be shaken by this -- they very likely won't. Kubernetes has sidestepped this problem by introducing and relying on RuntimeClass[0], which allows you to swap out the runtime that's running underneath kubernetes. In fact, there is already a shim being worked on[1].

[EDIT] - While I'm here talking about container tech, please check out containerd[2]. It's been my runtime of choice for a very long time, has been very well maintained, and received many of the really advanced features first (ex. untrusted runtimes). IMO it should be the default container runtime of k8s.

I've often wondered for client-side apps if a simple thread-per-goroutine model would work for Go. Sure, you'd lose some of the easy scalability. But I think that's mostly useful for server software and client apps don't usually have thousands of concurrent tasks anyway. You could also lower the overhead some for calling C libraries (which client software does more often).
Yes, Timatic (usually) doesn't go into that level of detail, though it does some detail AND you need to interpret it.

It will indicate Transit visa details if the country is indicated on the query as the transit country. If it's the destination then it will put the visitor requirements.

I did an example query to Hong Kong as a US citizen and Timatic returned the correct results (that the documentation you have is enough)
