One thing you should quickly learn is that "ally" does not mean "friend". An ally has similar enough goals to most of the time work together in those goals that are the same, and also to try not to encroach when goals are different.
I first read about Ada in JARGON:

Ada:: n. A {{Pascal}}-descended language that has been made
mandatory for Department of Defense software projects by the
Pentagon. Hackers are nearly unanimous in observing that,
technically, it is precisely what one might expect given that kind
of endorsement by fiat; designed by committee, crockish, difficult
to use, and overall a disastrous, multi-billion-dollar boondoggle
(one common description is "The PL/1 of the 1980s"; hackers find
the exception handling and inter-process communication features
particularly hilarious). Ada Lovelace (the daughter of Lord Byron
who became the world's first programmer while cooperating with
Babbage on the design of his mechanical computing engines in the
mid-1800s) would almost certainly blanch at the use her name has
been latterly put to; the kindest thing that has been said about it
it is that there is probably a good small language screaming to get
out from inside its vast, {elephantine} bulk.

Maybe the situation is different now?

Sorry if this is naive question but I'm not that up on service meshes. Aren't other service meshes generally implemented as sidecar containers? Why wouldn't those also be considered native? Could someone help me understand the distinction of a native service mesh vs non-native? I'm having a hard time getting my head around it.

But you said you hate the flavor of cigarettes now, which is not the same as hating flavorless vapes. I would expect you and most others to prefer flavorless vapes to cigarettes, and therefore, to continue vaping after a flavor ban, instead of switching to cigarettes. Am I off the mark there?

Meh, America could solve its jobs problem in five minutes. Simply limit the labor supply but that's not what capitalists and the popular political establishment (read democrats) wants. I guess this clear opinion might not even be popular on HN, so I find it hard to sympathize with all these people who are now scared of losing their jobs and they turn around and keep voting for implicitly increasing labor supply. Remember, the bigger pool of labor, the lesser pay and more desperate people will be but it will certainly help the politicians win elections easier because of lock-down on voting patterns from newly arrived low skilled immigrants.

Cars and red meat aren’t really comparable as they have a long history in society. But Cars are probably the most regulated thing you interact with day to day. You need a license, insurance and have to follow precise rules to operate them safely. Red meat also has restrictions from government bodies.

In the free market those rules wouldn’t exist and people would be upset about taking their rights away when you regulate them.

Man, higher education just doesn't make sense. Colleges charge insane amounts in tuition and are still losing money. While the richer schools prostrate themselves to donors and beg for more cash.

Admissions is becoming a game of who can work themselves weary in high school between grades and extracurriculars and test scores and essays. Colleges perpetuate the myth that their admission is "holistic" with some magic all seeing formula, when in reality Harvard probably can't read 40k applications in 5 months without some mass culling, probably via metrics (5 months is approx 150 days, divided by 40,000/150 is 267 applications a day, assuming no weekends or vacations). Unless you have connections or the right scores, you're not even going to be considered. Maybe, just maybe you'll get really lucky like Angel and have someone chance upon your app. But applications have increased in the last 10-20 years so probably not.

Either schools are being horribly mismanaged or higher education just isn't a profitable business. Probably both.

As a Consumer, I'm really excited about this. I'm fed up with skinner box RNG money extraction apps, and the ability to pay once to try a catalog of games is great. I've always been hesitant to buy pricer games because I didn't know if I would like them.

On the other hand, iOS is probably the mobile marketplace with the highest proportion of customers willing to buy non-lootbox games. If this gains enough market share, devs will feel forced to join this program, and it's currently unclear how they will be paid out.

I'm a contractor. I've been working extra hours continuously for a few months. The money and flexibility are great. However, more than a few times my 6yr old (Whoa, he is 6 already?) has stumbled into my home office at 9:00 PM. I've been telling myself that this should stop. But I've been ploughing on. What if my contracts run out the end of the year? I need to upgrade my skills. So I'm traveling next week for a week long programming course.

I hear first hand accounts of L5 to L6 employees and first level managers working unbelievably hard. The pay off is probably "worth it" if they or their kid don't end up being "a statistic". To be in this place (CEO, Founder, AppMaGooSoft) the odds were always in their favor to begin with. So why would the odds be unfavorable going forward? As a result there will always be a group of employees willing to throw themselves head first into whatever "challenge" "management" throws down.
>Where is the money going to come from?

From the money we currently pay third party contractors to do the job.

You've noticed no such thing. Users flagging one of your submissions isn't "mods engaged in blatantly political flagging".

The WeWork story has had numerous huge threads—two major ones have been on the front page today alone. With suppression like this, who needs promotion? Ditto for the Epstein story, our only relation to which is nausea and a desire to hold it at the end of a stick, same as everybody else.

> Any partners and children will receive a monthly benefit of up to 80 percent of his salary until what would have been his retirement age and then a share of his pension.

The sex part is clickbait, but it sounds like in France, this applies if you die for any reason (possibly excluding suicide?) during the time period you happen to be on the business trip. That's a hell of a benefit for business travel, to basically have a built-in life insurance policy like that.

In the US it's common for company issued life insurance to pay double if you die on a business trip. It's common for companies to pay for group term life insurance in the amount of 1 single year of salary, although some companies make a thing out of providing much better coverage.

How much would this policy cost to buy on the open market? Well... a $50k policy might cost ~$200/year (depends mostly on age). To insure someone through retirement and pension, that's going to cost more like 15-20x that amount. In that case, as you get older the policy price is probably constant because the rating factor goes up while the total benefit amount goes down.

But that would be the cost to cover you for the whole year, not just while you're traveling. So adjust down for the time period not traveling, and then maybe back up because you're more likely to die while traveling? Eh, this is too complex to hand waive a decent answer.
I would like to see more laws making the use by kids illegal. Around here at least you don’t see kids walking around with bottles of alcohol because the police would stop and dump it out. Then question where they got it. I think the same should be done with vaping, aggressive targeting of kids caught vaping with punishments reaching to their parents possibly. If I let my kid go to school drunk repeatedly(or ever really) I would expect to have child services here. Why should we allow vaping any differently? Now I hear about 12 year olds vaping. That has to end.
Do you have savings? If you had enough saved to spend a year looking for another job, would you still live in fear?

Reality? You can maintain an absurd, unintuitive, dated UI by yourself fairly easily, but even someone who pushes out two minor updates per week is going to be taking on a little too much in my opinion if they believe they can also support a fork of a major language.
Seems like a fair enough price. I don’t know what the deal with the developers is, but I hope it enables them to make quality games rather than the ‘free’ dopamine clickers that dominate the charts now.

From this study:

> Current flavored (including menthol) tobacco product use was highest in youth (80%, aged 12-17 years); and young adult tobacco users (73%, aged 18-24 years); and lowest in older adult tobacco users aged ≥65 years (29%). Flavor was a primary reason for using a given tobacco product, particularly among youth. Eighty-one percent of youth and 86% of young adult ever tobacco users reported that their first product was flavored versus 54% of adults aged ≥25 years. In multivariable models, reporting that one's first tobacco product was flavored was associated with a 13% higher prevalence of current tobacco use among youth ever tobacco users and a 32% higher prevalence of current tobacco use among adult ever users.
Public institutions should be based on an entrance exam and that's it. It shouldn't be competitive, it should be first-come, first-served based on a pass/fail score.

What about the poor and minorities? College should not be the only route to a middle class life. There should be opportunities for those that are not academically gifted. Additionally, if public schools failed to prepare lower income students to be prepared, that's the problem that needs to be addressed.

We should also outlaw all GPAs across secondary and post-secondary schools. It should be pass/fail only.
It's interesting to see how Verilog & C both took over there in the industry. There's probably a chasm where the extra typedness isn't worth the velocity cost at the beginning of a project and when it's valuable the weight of switching can be too great. I think the middle ground is a language where you can relax some of your rules but then as pieces mature you can start enforcing stricter typing rules.

I observe the same effect on other things like unit tests except the effect is the reverse of what people typically think. Lots of unit tests early on help you write correct code initially but as code matures it's just wasted automation time & it can end up ossifying some architectural decisions (ie. a change ripples out & causes a large amount of tests to need updating).

> Clean data is essential to good results in AI

Your not wrong, but I think this is worth taking a second to clarify.

See, when I think of "clean" data, I think of a set of crisp, noiseless images, or text without typos, or DNA sequences w/o sequencing errors or low-quality reads.

For AI purposes, you want a set of representative noise... w/o it, you'll be building a very brittle model. The key is, as you've mentioned, to assure that the method of data collection/generation/processing is either (1) unbiased throughout or (2) is done using various methods ideally performed by different entities.

So, there is certainly a distinction between bias and noise (the opposite of which I would probably call "cleanliness").
But importantly it relies on legislation. It relies on the existence of very specific market conditions that are held in place by the state. It then supposes that these artificial conditions we cal the workplace shouldn't change if they impact the author, who is rich, to benefit the "desperate" (a larger and poorer cohort of people, I read from the OP's post).

Legislation is there either way. It is involved in each case. And as employment (often dangerous) is required for living in the US, it seems pretty weird to view this structural change that only mildly inconvenienced some of the most egregious users of the very broad "contractor" status in existing law, I can't quite work out why this is important.

You should really define shitty. What you are saying is you don't particularly like a country without the ability to actually describe why that is. It's comes off feeling like someone's opinion of their favorite sports team.

Certainly, the countries you like do things differently than the ones you want, but you won't even highlight those differences. No, instead it's only bad and good.

I'm frankly tired of people that can't describe in real thoughts what makes something great or terrible without falling back on the words that a two year old might make use of to describe their day.

Get creative. Go on a verbal tirade and tell me how you really feel. But please stop compressing your thoughts down to good, bad and shitty. If you really want to communicate, please do so.

You don't like capitalism? Because you're not making the money? What are the real reasons? You don't like communism? Because of the Gulag Archipelago? Be clear.
Your own source contradicts what you're saying... looking at US child mortality rates on your own link shows 4% child mortality rate in 1949 down to 0.7% by 2016. That's a pretty damn significant reduction.

But beyond child mortality, here's another example that regulation does impact: traffic deaths [1]. Government regulations surrounding car safety, seatbelt use, airbags, etc have had a massive impact. Looking at the data from 1970 (a time when older HNers would say "when I was young") to today, there were 4.74 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, compared to 1.16 today. And even as the US has added 120 million new Americans to the population since then and vehicle miles traveled has basically tripled, not only have we reduced deaths per mile traveled, we've reduced deaths period, without worrying about normalizing the data to population or VMT.

I hear quite a bit "when I was young we didn't have seatbelts or airbags and we rode on the back dashboard and didn't have child seats and we survived just fine" except a lot of people didn't. A lot of people died, and that's why regulations were created and that's why fewer people are dying now.
