Instead of fighting the world we could go around making allies and all stand together against any aggression China and Russia make would be how I envision it but perhaps even that would not work. I just have to believe there is a better future then everyone fighting each other winner take all. Our earth is god damn dying and these people want to convince us the only solution is to get ready for the fight of our life. We are already in it. We need to work together to save the earth not destroy each other.

So You Think?
Do you think Trump supporter the Russian's hacking regime?
Yeah, maybe the actual goals of the terrorists was to make everybody wait longer in airports and getting annoyed? As just revenge for the betrayal of Sykes-Picot and the desecration of the holy lands.
This is why I no longer talk to recruiters. The ones I get at least, like to turn my resume into keyword soup regardless of the truth.
I don't develop for mobile OSs precisely because I don't trust them. But I imagine that if I thought I had to I would feel like there is only one place to go, and they are just as bad.
I came here to post the opposite: cancellation of frothy IPOs is a good sign of a coming downturn, isn't it?
>That's true, but yet people still want to drive for Uber/Lyft.

Well if you leave people out in the desert with nothing but a bottle of urine, they will drink it...that doesn't mean they want to drink urine.

There is a reason we have safety standard, minimum wages and child labor laws. From the sound of it you seem to argue those regulations are to protect workers from themselves, after all no one forced children to work for penny's a day in dangerous environments...but the reality is corporations make the markets not workers and so regulations are to curb those in power whose base instinct is to exploit others for their gains.
In general you'll very likely have to let go of the "closely control" piece to be able to contract the kind of work you refer to out safely. Contracting to experts would probably be pretty safe. Note that nothing will happen unless someone complains but it's a business risk you're taking.

The reason for these types of regulations is basically that society benefits from people having secure jobs and benefits and the security translates into higher investment back into economy (ie people save, buy houses etc)

I'd suggest to consult a lawyer.
Thanks for explaining and for taking another look at the issue. Your comment makes sense to me in context of your company's strategy. I'm not saying that's wrong, as surely the breath allows you to gain an niche that is less competitive and less risky than a depth strategy that forces you to compete head to head with great products like notion... but as this thread shows it has enormous downside.

But anyway the double brackets is not a Gollum feature. It's a wiki thing, going back to wikipedia.

Since you're here I think this issue is also misprioritized: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/66898 You should reconsider as a lot of integrations rely on webhooks and broken images make the whole thing impossible.
I just got done testing this, it assigns a U.S. IPv6 address and uses the CloudFlare Warp network.

My tests showed a very stable download speed of 150.3 Mbps and upload speed of 13.8 Mbps with a latency of 31ms.
If this is protectionism, it is spectacularly unsuccessful protectionism. Google, for instance, has a higher market share in Europe than even in the US. Compare that to China where both Google and Facebook have a market share close to zero.
ASGI, finally! I was so happy to see the first alpha newreleases.io notification for version 3.
Simply shutting down the business isn’t the only possible outcome, nor the most desirable. The mere fact that Uber’s current business model is unethical doesn’t imply that it’s also incorrigible. Hire drivers as employees, pay Uber management roughly what a SV software engineer makes, and raise prices to compensate for the difference in order to become somewhat profitable, like a real business. The presumption that customers will simply stop using Uber is either naive or purposefully misleading, I really can’t tell which.
Growth. Most initial investors have already exited the company thanks to Softbank.
Since it's something being given to you for free, perhaps "I would appreciate it if other browsers were supported" is more appropriate than this bare command.
Management commands, migrations and ORM from Django can be used with other web frameworks like Falcon, Flask. It can reduce maintenance a lot.
I do not know this, of all the different explanations I explored this to me is the simplest one that explains most observations, i.e. selecting for maximum likelihood.

For example people have been noting many unusual things: for example that Ito used to run a nightclub, I am not saying he was doing anything nefarious there, but if Epstein is looking for a hushable department heads to place his "expired" victims, one can easily imagine him compiling lists of department heads with their backgrounds, and Epsteins reading of a department head without college degree who once ran a nightclub may explain this as Epsteins preferred choice.

There's a longer writeup analyzing the Ito related news articles and especially Anand's communication with Ito and Hoffman that made me think this:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20904781

also some of my other shorter comments here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20906307

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20909440

but the most important observation is in my opinion the inconsistency of Ito being perfectly aware he can't be publicly seen accepting Epstein's money, while at the same time supposedly allowing Epstein to publically brag about his funding MIT Media Lab. Ito would never agree to simple prestige-for-cash since it would deterministically lynch him. No, it's MIT who doesn't want to be outed as doubling for a Cloak of Charity to host a couple of broken souls for cash.

Yeah, I also don't know how you'd square the "Healthcare Costs as Percent of GDP" chart with the argument that Americans pay only a couple hundred dollars more than Europeans. We pay drastically more than Europeans.
And could someone please explain where there's an expectation of equal access and right to appear with a certain preference in a closed app store's search results? Or not to have your app's functionality copied by anyone else?
Have you tried with wireguard? One nice feature of WG is that it takes almost no time to make/restore a connection. It's hard to even notice.
So is this just a VPN that's baked into the browser?

One of the problems with VPNs is that you're putting a lot of faith in your VPN provider. I trust Mozilla, and would gladly pay them for that service (I would use Freedome, but afaik they don't support Linux). However, it would have to be usable outside of my browser.

Tangentually, I wish Mozilla also offered paid email (or email with a premium plan), which is another service that requires a lot of trust. It would help provide alternative sources of income to keep Firefox alive, and Thunderbird could be a stunningly good email client if they had more resources to pour into it.

Mozilla's product is trust and control. Although they are non-profit, I see no issue with them offering paid services.
This IPO story is struggling. There have been several recent examples of public confidence in the business model collapsing post IPO, but the WSJ and others are reporting on this so heavily as it looks like we’re now seeing public confidence starting to fall apart before the IPO of an ultra-unicorn. Get your popcorn ready.

Someone might buy these bonds at their deflated prices because WeWork still needs to pay interest on that loan and if its still around will eventually pay back the original loan, but for now this is more evidence of market skepticism of the future health of WeWork financially. People are willing to just take a hit now and get out.
> unfortunately it's just one failure after another with almost nothing to show for it.

I really urge you to read Catch-22. It is only a failure until you inspect the books, and then you will realize the genius of it all. Lots of people made out like the bandits they are over this.
What's the point of even building a website if Google is just going to scrape the information and put in a SERP? You need to add value and build a relationship with your customer.
Most of the time I think the opposite. Why is there a need to promote it that much? Seems always like the company doesn't know how/where to get fitting people, which is not a good sign if you ask me. But also I assume they don't want (to pay) upper tier employees, so lower qualified candidates could be the target demo.
Wikipedia says

> While it has been claimed that Born's law can be derived from the many-worlds interpretation, the existing proofs have been criticized as circular.

So it seems you aren't alone in feeling this way.

I've completely stopped using class components after spending some time with Hooks in a small-to-mid-sized application.

The big wins for me were:

- passing an empty array as the last argument of useEffect makes useEffect work in a similar fashion to the old ComponentDidMount. You can have any number of useEffect invocations in a component, and for a component that is, say, loading data from two different sources, I find having two discrete useEffects loading just what they need much more clean/intentional than putting everything into a single lifecycle method.

- using Hooks with Context almost completely fills the giant state management hole that has been (imo) hampering React since its inception. Hooks + Context is a cleaner and more comprehensible solution than React + Redux for any application that has a reasonable amount of state complexity. For data-heavy applications, Redux may still be a good choice, but for everything else, the Hooks + Context combination is hard to beat.
At least the attacker was willing to answer questions about how they were able to gain control.
They make money from the most successful apps that aren't theirs, though. 30% is admittedly less than 100%, but if the market is 4x, Apple wins more with the former. Also, the 30% doesn't require much developer time (sure, you have to maintain the app store, but that is amortized over many many apps).
For a holistic overview it's useful to read Chamber of Commerce surveys, there's a recent one by CGCC (China General Chamber of Commerce - US). The basic gist is that growing market and financial motives play biggest role in something like 85% of respondents. Kind of no-shit take away. Don't rely on cherry picked anecdotes of XYZ failed ventures or attributing "regret" because some IP got stolen. There was an interview covering a recent American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai poll of US data on top priorities for current trade talks and 0.4% of respondents think force tech transfer is an important issue. Which should be obvious since the vast majority of foreign businesses operating in China don't have extremely technical IP that can't be easily replicated, or have very well funded and vocal lobbying groups state side, or is an legitimate intersection of commerce and security with respect to dual use technology, or even that the cost of stolen IP is not factored into these business decisions in the first place. Many US companies are not in China as supply chain operators, they're there to meet demands of Chinese consumers and serve Chinese market to the point where China is a significant share of their revenue. Another example, latest U.S. China Business Council's (USCBC) survey tldr was basically US companies overwhelmingly convinced Chinese companies receive (alledged) unfair state subsidies but they literally don't care because even with the tradewar, 97% of respondents said their China operations were profitable which is UP from 85% in 2015. There's also good podcasts like The Trade Guys (CSIS), Sinica / ChinaEconTalk that covers these topics by actual subject matter experts.

E: I think it's important to highlight that while that data suggests profit seeking US companies overwhelmingly do not regret entering China, that doesn't mean it's beneficial to long term US interests. You have to understand that on paper, China - US trade accounts for a few percentage points of each other's GDP, and indeed both economies are actually not very trade dependent. Many companies and people will still get hurt, the pain will be disproportionately applied, but this tradewar is mostly political theater that both leaders are exploiting since there is no existential risk.
Also if multiple parties attempt to mount a 51% attack then they will have to compete with each other which makes the attack impossible.
I think an example would be for companies like Google who hire a lot of contractors from hiring agencies who do work at Google, but these people don't technically work FOR Google and therefore don't get the good Google salary or good Google benefits. I guess that is counter to Uber who hires their own people and basically contracts them out to themselves? I don't know if that means the easy loophole for Uber and Lyft is just to now hire all drivers from a separate company and then call them contractors.
> I wonder what other folks selling office space in the market think about all this?

If I owned a bunch of office space, I'd be exiting now (or would have already exited). I think it's probably like the bitcoin effect: bitcoin got notorious, so all the other coins went up too. IMO, uncoordinated pump and dump.

Ask HN: Is not having a LinkedIn that big of a deal?
It seems like somehow every application I fill out these days has a box to insert your LinkedIn profile URL to it. Do recruiters really care about it that much?
I quit an exploitative workplace about ~7 years ago, totally unprepared (and in a foreign country), and barely survived until my business picked up enough work to be stable. Spent all savings I had, even had to borrow a bit at the end to keep me afloat.

Hard work and persistence wasn't enough - there was a big element of luck involved, and things could have easily crashed and burned. It took me almost a year until I felt "safe". The transition period was very stressful, burned out a few times, and almost "gave up" (meaning, just go work for another company).

As others have noted, I suggest keeping your job, take time to prepare the ground, and make sure you're well-prepared for the transition. That means, have a profitable business before jumping ship. I know that's not easy (well, nothing worthwhile is easy), working full-time while building up a side business, especially if you're burned out at the current place of employment.

Another point I'd like to note is that "being your own boss" comes with its own challenges, risks and downsides. In a way, it's like working for many "bosses" (clients) without the benefit of financial security. So I would recommend keeping the option open to find a job at another employer, one that treats you better than the current one. If peace of mind is what you seek, that might even be a smarter choice.
Unfortunately, this submission is already flagged. I am genuinely interested to know. And it wasn’t meant as an anti-China question.
Could anyone provide a bit of context about what asynchronous features are coming and how they compare to how, say, Node handles asynchronous actions?
When I'm in NYC, it does seem like most do it as a full time job, but they like the flexible hours. In upstate NY, most Uber/Lyft drivers I talk to treat it as a side hustle, fun thing to do to chat with folks, or a post retirement activity. Based on my experience, denser cities have more drivers treating it as a full time job with multiple apps used to find riders, and in less dense areas (including LA) many drivers seem to have other non-driving jobs.

I definitely find the experience much better than taxis, especially in NYC, on average.
Sure, and that might affect them short term.

But Android’s App Store isn’t any better IMO, and if Apple put effort into drawing talent towards their mobile ecosystem and letting them flourish without being worried about Apple screwing them, they might be better off overall.

Their strategy of ratcheting up phone prices isn’t sustainable and they’re losing users to cheaper phones with similar specs. The relative parity (and lack of quality) between both app stores doesn’t help them, and improving the app ecosystem could help, but idk.
Well, science includes scientific method. Trial and error that is abundant in deep NN ML research is at the core of science. The theories and math have almost always arrived after stuff worked heuristically.

That's also one of the reasons why deep NN returned the spark to ML. ML was so deep into the proven models and math that the lack of trial and error part slowed down progress.
I can't edit anymore but I was wrong. According to Wikipedia [1] Bitcoin is regulated both as a security and a currency, taxed as if it were property.

I get the "hey Softbank is in it" kinda thing, not smart, but I get it.

Growth I don't get. Did they feel they were buying up a lot of undervalued properties and were going to dramatically increase in value somehow?

Office space seems like a mature market and it's not like if I own 3 buildings vs 1000 that there is that much efficiency that growth would get me.
I'm afraid you misunderstand the way embeddings work - at least for BERT based models, which are currently state of the art.

BERT embeddings, after training change with context. In other words if you feed a paragraph about bank robbers and look at the encoding for bank, it will be meaningfully different from the encoding for the same word produced from a paragraph (or sentence) about river banks.

We use BERT at the startup I work at, and one of our tests was the sentence "the bank robbers robbed the bank and then rested by the river bank". BERT was able to generate three different semantically meaningful encodings for the word bank in this sentence. The first two instances were much closer to each other in vector space (euclidean distance) than the last.

This is huge, because it is arguably the first step in building an AI which can perform basic reasoning about information encoded in text. For example, if you average up the encodings of a paragraph of words, you can create an "encoding" which assigns a summary meaning or topic. Simple vector math becomes a powerful reasoning tool.

The future is here.
“Along Hurricane Dorian’s Tortured Path” – Disaster Journalism High and Low
My main criticism of the ribbon is how it radically changes its structure when the window is resized. This creates menus out of formerly top level elements etc. Thus, Word at half screen width is a radically different UI than at full width.

Then there are these almost invisible buttons next to the bottom group labels. Some features are hidden behind those but there is no good visual indication that these buttons open dialogs related to features the group.

So I am not totally convinced that they are the best in this field.
Given companies are still using old versions of IE in 2019 or are forced to use compatibility mode with hinting falling back to IE 7,8,etc engine I feel like jQuery is more of a commodity than writing custom code for certain scenarios.

I also thought we would've been better off without jQuery until I started receiving calls that multiple users with different browsers had problems with the app... and telling the users to update would either need approval from the IT department or the user refuses because it'd break compatibility with existing legacy apps that they also use. Having jQuery is just a cheap price to pay.

Ideally I would love everyone to be on the latest browser and that companies moved out of said legacy apps or at least invested in improving them...
There's an expectation when your platform is the only option. This wouldn't be a problem at all if Apple allowed alternative app stores. Since that is not allowed, any anticompetitive behavior they exhibit in their store is ripe for a lawsuit. Apple has a 100% monopoly on the distribution of ALL iOS software.
Seems like it is only 1 or 2 people building this. I don't think it's reasonable to expect hobby software projects to always support multiple browsers / OS / whatever. You have to start somewhere.
I think the established office owners were astonished at the high valuations in an otherwise boring industry. I remember this article from a few months ago. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-property-wework-value...

It also mentions the big problem with We, than in the next downturn the revenue will likely stop and it'll be in trouble.
There isn't an institution in the world that could sell an IOU $100 for $100, not even the US Treasury. For example, if you bought a 1-year dated IOU for $100 from the US Treasury today, it would cost only $98.30.

> Do IBM engineers have responsibility towards Qualcomm engineers

Yes, in every way. However, with Qualcomm not having any PowerPC architectures, there isn't much harm that could be done. And for reference, Intel also tests AMD as they should, and even submits performance improvements for AMD as they should.

But this is quite bad: Instead of: `if (supports(generic_feature)) { do_with_generic_feature(); } else { slow_approach(); }`, they did `if (intel_haswell) { do_with_generic_feature(); } else { slow_approach(); }`.

The only time where that is acceptable from as big a contributor as Intel, is if they tested and concluded that other CPUs were actually slower using this feature.

> What happens if there's a new CPU company in two years that would also happen to work fine with these flags ?

That is exactly why the feature flags exist in this generic code! You can query what instruction sets are available on the CPU. Vendor-specific code should only be added to deal with product-specific defect.
That or maybe round up some traditional investors to prep for swooping up some good buys after the dust settles?

The App store is the de facto access to applications for a large enough part of the public that it should be regulated by the public. Just like you can't sell poisonous food in your "closed" restaurant or can't sell dangerous electrical appliances in your "closed" electronic store.

Applications stores are public markets and should be regulated as such.
