While this may have been true in the past, it is no longer the case. Neither the main Tesla store/website [0] nor the merchandise store (for t-shirts, assorted knick-knacks, some chargers; basically everything except the cars) [1] use Shopify. You can validate by going to those websites and Ctrl-F through all of the sources of the webpage for "shopify". The main Tesla website uses Salesforce (Ctrl-F through the sources for "salesforce").

[1]: https://shop.tesla.com (it appears that Tesla rolled their own implementation of a store)
Sure, that's a great option for helping to reduce the cost for well-meaning general use, but the other way makes your costs 100% predictable, which is great if you're on an academic budget (but, again, way more annoying for the downloaders unless they're also using AWS).
There are tech companies in Wyoming but due to the relative lower population density it will be less. But people are fleeing sv so tech bastions are sprouting up throughout the country and have been for the last ten years.

In fairness, very few locks can stand up to LPL for very long.
It's also unjust to say that he was accused of assaulting one of Epstein's victims, when the only accusations are from people who inferred from "she was sent to Minsky's room" that "he said yes".
It's a useful deflection from further examination of the slimy tentacles of Epstein's influence throughout tech and academia. Stallman is not terribly well-liked, and made the mistake of shooting off his mouth and grabbing onto the third rail hard with both hands at an inopportune time. He's a useful scapegoat to sacrifice up to Molloch.
There's minor, and there's minor. Age of consent differs by state and country, quite a lot, everything from 14 y.o. to 21 y.o. plus special case exceptions by court.

Remember that before making absolute statements about mental powers.

By the way, coerced sex (sometimes rape, sometimes assault, sometimes pimping, in some places prostitution) is illegal among adults too. You can keep it extra illegal for minors.

Minority should not be an absolute but treated as a high bar. (The younger, the higher.)

Unfortunately legislatives are black and white in most countries, and people accede to it.
The entire 32.0.0.0 used to be owned by a company that provided IT services to the Norwegian public sector. They had 4 IPs for every citizen in the country, and change.
I would still find it grotesque if she had been 20. Minsky was behaving like a huge sleazebag.
I'm not saying some is fully developed mentally as a teenager. But people constantly dismiss ideas or suggestions from people younger than them... because they are younger. I really wish I hadn't let 'grown ups'(family, public school teachers... people who were neither very smart nor successful) brow beat me into thinking I was stupider than I actually was.
Everything you said is accurate, but that doesn't mean there isn't a place in the market for Blue Apron.

People are paying for convenience. Think of it like a house cleaning service. You don't NEED to hire someone to clean your house, but it makes your life a little easier and for some, that's worth it.
The benign explanation is that he didn't know Epstein was a monster (few outside the DA's office did until 2018) and that he accepted funding for AI research.

Dear, for your sake only, I am pasting this definition straight from wikipedia -

Engineers, as practitioners of engineering, are professionals who invent, design, analyze, build, and test machines, systems, structures and materials TO FULFILL OBJECTIVES AND REQUIREMENTS WHILE CONSIDERING THE LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY PRACTICALITY, REGULATION, SAFETY, AND COST.
Probably true. But then, I think all organizations achieve these characteristics beyond some critical size. Good executive leadership can help somewhat, but politics and difficulty in getting things done (a.k.a. coordination overhead and communication loss) is part of any large org. So these tips are definitely good to know unless you are planning to always be in small companies (< ~100 employees).
This has nothing to do with technology.

If you start expressing opinions about how sex with a sex-trafficked child should be legal, won't your friends and family raise some questions about your character?

Unless we're talking of morally flexible individuals. And at least parents should raise an eyebrow, since we have this natural reaction to protect our children.

> information wants to be free

Whomever said that was probably thinking of facts, of knowledge, s/he was probably not thinking of having opinions about pedophiles.

EDIT: don't get me wrong, I think there's a time and place to argue that consensual sex with teenagers might be ok and I think people should be free to make that argument, the problem in this case is that the sex couldn't have been consensual, in which case age becomes relevant, as that teenager isn't fully developed, therefore the harm done is amplified.

And also these opinions have been delivered by a very public figure, with a history of harassing women.

Words matter so the lesson here is don't be a jerk, as technology won't save you from that.
Minsky is relatively well known within the field of AI, but he's hardly that famous. Among MIT students - perhaps - but among teenagers in the VI?

If elderly fat mildly famous academics get solicited for sex by random teenagers in the VI on a regular basis, I must have missed the memo.
And what of all of the qualified developers who are excluded from the community by ignorant or bigoted people in positions of power? What of their technological ability?
>> The law needs a bright and clear line, so you can know how not to break it.

> But that isn’t true in reality for kids/adults close in age, nor is it a fixed line for every jurisdiction in the states. You actually have to know the law.

Of course you have to know the law. But the law is well-defined, and you can figure out with 100% certainty whether you'd be breaking local statutory rape laws given your age and your partner's.

I suppose it's possible that there exists an unclear statutory rape law somewhere in the world, but most laws are written to avoid ambiguity. Can you cite a U.S. statutory rape law where it would be ambiguous whether or not sex qualifies as rape given the parties' ages?
I, as many others, never personally liked Dr. Stallman and didn’t agreed with many of his views.

That being said, the way that that happened is absolutely terrifying. Fact, that people rather crucify someone instead of argue, explain or prove him wrong is the sign of our times.

End of free speech is here. It’s free only if it doesn’t offend group powerful enough to destroy you, and it’s narrowing every single day. We’ve seen many instances of this happening both on personal, unpopular views and gossips and false accusations.

Want to keep your career? Best you can do is to steer out of the social media and don’t share your thoughts with anyone. Not only controversial ones, because what might not be controversial now, might be controversial in 10 years, and you will suffer because of it.
"the customer is always right" means the customer has the money in his pockets to spend, and you can't argue with the sales figures at the end of the day. It sounds like guidance on dispute resolution but isn't exactly.
WebKit was certainly started at Apple. I just checked and the paper for LLVM was actually published before Lattner joined Apple, so I guess it's not quite true that it was "started" there (though, of course, most of its development has happened there).
AWS Series: Concepts from a to Z
It's the problem now, but specifically this tendency of Stallman is why the FSF exists at all, and why there was a compiler and a complete, freely available Unix userspace already available for Linus to bundle with his kernel, and voila, free Unix.

It's also the reason we have an Open Source movement, that being the watered down and more corporately palatable version of Stallman's idealistic vision.

Yes, he's totally uncompromising, has no sense of pragmatic tradeoffs or weighing one thing against another or deciding what is a good hill to die on. That's not the way I think is best to live my life, and it's probably best that most people don't live theirs that way either. Still, there should be a place in the world for people like him to have the freedom to be able to create and run their own organization with their own ideals.
Apparently it is gaining traction. For example, the Tensorflow project is working on building a next generation library with Swift - https://github.com/tensorflow/swift

Thus, American justice system is evil? Law knows no empathy. Politics is even worse. Media didn't consider it worth it a split second of thought to gauge impact on life of this man.
WebKit was an Apple project; I'm off by a little bit on LLVM as Lattner was hired after he started the project at UIUC.

57% of silicon valley tech workers and 43% of New York tech workers are immigrants, so advances made by American companies are not necessarily made by domestic American workers.

> but overall, I prefer a world where a startup can't have success dumping toxic chemicals into a river.

Nice strawman, but that's not anything I said.

> You make it sound like all regulation is bad.

No... I made it sound like regulation is bad when it negatively affects a good solution from coming into existence. Stripe does not dump toxic chemicals. Rather, it increases access to credit cards and money transfers to people who were being underserved by big banks. Had you ever had to take CC payments in person before square? They made it much easier.
That entire article is absolutely hypocritical given how discourse is controlled on this site.
Your garden-variety human being with even the slightest social wherewithal would know better than to say some of Epstein’s victims were “entirely willing”.

This is not the fault of the media looking for witches to hunt. This is the result of a massively intelligent man deciding to spit into the political wind.

Literary jerk here-- Heller was famous for the wrong book. Catch-22 was fantastic, but his lesser-known novel, "Something Happened" is a masterpiece of stream of thought literary form. I could not recommend it more.
>If you start expressing opinions about how sex with a sex-trafficked child should be legal, won't your friends and family raise some questions about your character?

In a civilized world you would be sued for libel for saying that.

I look forward to someone making a startup doing just that.
In case of DoH, one could firewall DoH servers and the fallback should be then to use OS defined resolvers. Of course, the app/ad-network could always complain abt connectivity and render the app unusable to get one to disable the firewall rules. Other way is to simply do all the advertisements and tracking through first-party domains / servers. I fully expect a standard here to take shape to let CDNs and 3Ps serve content from 1P domains (if it isn't already).

One way to counter this could be to run the apps in a sandbox where one can restrict them from using certain APIs or fool them into thinking all is right with the world but content-block them anyway (like uBlockOrigin). Developing a sandbox is already possible in Android (see ParallelSpace), but likely requires a lot of work.

It'd be interesting to see what WASM does to content blockers. If uBlockOrigin et al are still effective with WASM apps, one could simply run most, if not all apps from the browser and achieve content-blocking to their heart's content (no pun).
Well, Square was -- in living memory for HN -- a startup. If every company has to skirt regulations in order to gain a 25B market cap to compete with larger players, then we need to re-think what our regulations are. Otherwise, they just serves as validators for oligopolies.

This is called regulatory capture, and is not something to be defended.

No. I find it incredibly difficult to understand why my generation seems to be so truly 'fucked'. Especially, the type of people who are on HN should be able to save money and make a down payment.
No, that was their made up promise to fool people who couldn't research the logistics themselves, that is not what was going to happen. Name another country in the entire world where this has happened with similar population density. You can't, because no such country exists. If that actually happened, and it was completed today, Australia would have the world's fastest internet, ahead of all of the countries with extremely dense population such as Taiwan. Such an idea is absurd, but people on the left will never admit it and just claim that is was obviously going to happen.
I used to use “the STL” to refer to “the part of the C++ Standard Library strongly influenced by the design of the historical library”, excluding iostreams etc. Later, I decided this didn’t really achieve anything. It’s a Standard Library that’s full of Templates! There are other design philosophies in there, but they are increasingly unimportant. Having to say “C++ Standard Library” all the time, or trying to popularize a new acronym, are worse alternatives.

Yes, effective communication is valuable. I have been working on this library for over a decade and I find that the short, memorable acronym ultimately makes it easier to talk about the thing.

That said, we are primarily using the acronym for the repo URL and the directory structure; the readme makes it clear that this is “also known as” the STL.

Your not wrong, but in this case he is 2 degrees of separation away from someone that we know was guilty. It feels like the witch hunting has moved onto those who are guilty by association.

> RMS's position is way too extreme here, 99.9% of people would probably find it despicable.

Quite a lot of us live in a world where what Minsky did would not be considered statutory rape, so presumably they wouldn't find it despicable (if we ignore potential sex trafficking): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent#/media/File:Age...

In other words: There isn't a bright and clear line?

> The IRS probably won't go after you if you underpay by a penny — but you're still breaking the law if you do it intentionally.

In other words: There isn't a bright and clear line?

Like, you are claiming that there is, and then provide the evidence that there isn't. All you are showing is that there is something that you want to call a "bright and clear line", but then you don't show anything in reality that actually matches that description in any meaningful sense.

> Because — with regard to statutory rape — if I know someone's age I can be 100% sure whether or not I would be breaking the law by having sex with them.

OK, so suppose we were to make the rule that if you under-report your income by any amount, whether intentionally or not, whether knowingly or not, you go to jail for ten years. That would be a bright and clear line, right? If you know that you reported all your income, you can be 100% sure whether you are going to jail. Why wouldn't that be a good approach? Or would it be?
“If you actively harass women at work for literally 30 years and do not stop any of the many, many times people to stop, and then also justify the sexual abuse of children as your job tries to distance itself from it’s collaboration with a know pedophile you might lose your job” doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a situation that will ever be relevant to my life, thank.
The point of an analogy is to be similar in some single illustrative way, not to be similar in all ways. If someone finds themselves "in love" then they could make some kind of argument based on that, but it wouldn't make the "but it would be legal somewhere else" argument any more compelling.
Holy shit, did Selam G. really just invent the primary component of this complaint?

Likely the web app uses the API to get its data, it hints at it when he says he uses the same APIs the customers do from his frontend.
This post is nothing but trouble
Whereas 15 is a more extreme example, the law is absurd if that is also the case for 17 and a half vs. 18. Obviously there is no way to know the difference, so is the actual intention of the law to simply prevent people under 30 from having intercourse?

Disclaimer: I am definitely not defending the whole sex dealership thing, I am just wondering about what a 19 or 20 year old college student is supposed to do to behave legally.

Edit: as a comparison, in Germany the age of consent is 14 afaik and there exist several additional laws to protect, e.g. 15 year olds from older people that have some kind of power over them (e.g., teachers).
Any color on why the choice of CMake for build? Versus bazel or open-sourcing Microsoft’s tool? Something like bazel remote builds is an absolute game changer for large C++ projects (especially versus CMake).

(re "We're working on a CMake build system... Until that's done, we're keeping our legacy build system around in the stl/msbuild subdirectory. (We're keeping those files in this repo, even though they're unusable outside of Microsoft, because they need to be updated whenever source files are added/renamed/deleted. ")
Did I say forbidden? I'm talking about self-discipline. The ideal would be to be so engaged and absorbed with work, that that's the thing you want to talk about. Ideally you're enjoying it. And anyway, just because some Angry Poo-Poo Face Boss Guy made me mad by telling me to focus on the work long ago, doesn't mean it's a bad idea for me to do it now, on my own, for my own reasons. Kind of like how lifting a heavy-ass weight, which sucks, actually is a good idea because it makes me stronger.

I also feel like your saying whatever you want, and having it be fine, depends on certain things, like both people being okay with it. For example (and I'm not saying this is you), a lot gets said and taken for granted between white males in software, that wouldn't be okay for non-white non-males and shouldn't be taken for granted. What's normal conversation for one person might not be normal for others. That is absolutely what happened with Mr. Stallman here. Questions of right or wrong should be hashed out with people you trust and share a foundation with, and upon whom you don't depend for rent money. Because everybody else is too fucking crazy now. AND, anyway, more to my main point, ideally you're too busy getting shit done!

Edit: Again, that's until work's over, at which point you make a clean break and go do whatever else. I'm a fan of the dividing line.

'Nuther edit: This case is actually more of a gray area because the Epstein thing affects the Media Lab and the whole Institute. It's all intertwined. So, ironically, it's a quasi-work-related conversation. But you can still say that the topic was more thrust on everyone, as opposed to being and having always been a natural part of the work. In fact, whoever caused the two things to mix in the first place [Epstein's money and MIT] done fucked up. Which is what everybody's saying, obviously, but they're saying it because of the moral murk of it, whereas I'm saying, my simpler philosophy about not mixing things, also would have prevented it just as effectively. My objection can simply be that Epstein and his horseshit have nothing to do with the work and have no place at the Institute. Somebody smart could've seen that right off, of course, but they were tempted by the money. Upton Sinclair bla bla "...when his [gittin' PAID] depends on his not understanding it."
You are right. I guess the ideal is a bit of a balancing act. To embrace the advantages of youth - you are not so solidified, you can try things your elders might not dare or consider - but to remain humble and know that you have a lot of growth ahead, admitting that you haven't yet reached the peak.

Suddenly I remember why teenage years were so hard.
well since DoD started the whole Internet thingy that's not that surprising, but yeah they were extra wasteful.
That is the whole point, 90% of mobile apps are actually CRUD apps that can be easily done as mobile Web SPAs.

As for job market, on my area you would be having an hard time finding 100% pure native development offers, everyone only cares for some kind of solution that can be deployed across Android and iOS.
