We really have to do something to reduce the firehose of twitter/FB bots and trolls with no accountability. It's like the old days of email spam, but with targetted abuse and harassment.

It really is that hard though. There's plenty of men that follow all of your advice and receive hardly any matches.
It's interesting to note that I had all except "easy commute" job for ~3 years before the company acquired (I made decent money). It was amazing to see the company go through a dramatic cultural shift (terrible manager and co-worker mostly). Ended up quitting within a year after. It was a while ago but I still fondly look back to those days :-)
1% APY compounded monthly, which is roughly below inflation. And it's taxed of course.

Isn't your second statement the same as the first? 1200 dollar balance returns $1 per month, or $12 per year?
There is a Harvard study which says "Your Open-Plan Office Is Making Your Team Less Collaborative". Open office plans lead to more email less collaboration.

So it is better to have traditional office setup with collaboration areas than open office spaces.

Historically, Mauna Kea is not the Jerusalem of the old Hawaiian religion. It's barely mentioned in the remaining oral tradition. There are other locations that were far more important, from a religious point of view (e.g., Kīlauea). It was taboo for normal people to go to the summit, but old Hawaii had a lot of taboos, and native Hawaiians also mined a huge amount of volcanic rock (which is great for making adzes) from the mountain.

The old Hawaiian religion we're talking about, by the way, fell increasingly out of practice from the early 1800s onwards, when the Hawaiian monarchy broke the taboos, defeated the priesthood in battle, and converted to Christianity. What we're actually discussing is a modern reinvention of the old religion, in much altered form. This modern version is heavily entwined with a political movement - Hawaiian independence.

But even if one accepts the modern practitioners' claims about what the old religion says, this isn't like building on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It's like building a mile away, beyond a ridge, in a location you can't see from the Temple Mount. TMT isn't at the summit, specifically because the project wanted to avoid any religious sites.
An associates degree doesn't offer the same level of education as what Make School offers.

Make School has a fully accredited bachelor's degree, through a collaboration with Dominican college, and it does it in 2-2.5 years.

> you can get a bachelors in the same amount of time as Make School.

But make school is also a bachelors degree...
On HN there’s always brilliant commentary and there’s always posters defending the undefendable. I’ll be wondering forever.
The clothing brand I've had the best experience with in terms of longevity is Patagonia. I have some items that are passing the 20-year mark now, things I wear every year like Hawaiian shirts in the summer and fleece gloves and insulated jackets in the winter. In the few instances where a piece has failed sooner than I expected, they repaired or replaced it.

In terms of longevity in outerwear, one of things I look for is nylon fabric. A lot of brands (including Patagonia) are using polyester more for jackets, bathing suits, etc. There are some advantages, like it holds DWR treatments better, and can be made with recycled plastic. But in terms of durability there is no comparison; nylon is just tougher gram for gram.

For socks, wool hiking-style socks seem to last well for me. By hiking-style, I mean the socks have different "zones" of thickness, usually thicker on the sole and heel, thinner across the top and ankle. I have Wigwam hiking socks and Smartwool dress socks have lasted well; in fact I'm having trouble remembering if any of them have actually worn out. Mostly they just get slightly thinner over time. I have tried a bunch of cotton socks, and Gold Toe seemed the most durable, but I still like the wool padded style better.
No, it's literally impossible. That's the whole point of a decentralized blockchain: nodes cannot (and don't want to) have total information about the network. That is, nodes don't know if re-org's are happening elsewhere in the network and don't know if they are about to get re-org'd. Every re-org is an opportunity for the actors involved in the re-org to send BTC elsewhere on the new chain and thus make transactions on the old chain "reversed".

Nodes in Bitcoin do not care if these transactions were reversed across chains, they only care about the transactions on the one most work valid chain, where "valid" is a set of rules expressed in the software binary that node is running. Two nodes can disagree on validity rules and literally never find out. Or a block can trigger a fork in the 2 nodes and then we need developers to tell us which chain is valid Bitcoin (see 2017 fork). While this is happening, transactions can go from being settled in a valid most-work chain to suddenly being considered invalid because everyone else is rejecting that chain.

It's a faulty design for a global payment network. We'd expect it to be predictable in how it handles transaction reversal and for human entities to be held accountable for ruleset changes.

So parents are just as bad for letting children engage in activism as the people threatening to murder and rape them?
The term that may answer your dilemma is "investor story-time" -- open offices tell a story to investors, acquirers, etc. of a docile team that collaborates in a creative way, without too much annoying individualism. This story is in fact quite accurate. Possible cost savings are just extra.

> The U.S. government can get the information faster by using the warrant power enumerated in the Constitution.

Not without presenting probable cause that the surveillance would produce evidence of a crime to a judge it can't.

Of course it can (and is well documented to have, on many occasions) just ignore the statutory and Constitutional restrictions on domestic surveillance. And that will probably, in most cases, be easier than going to a third party. Information sharing is most likely to be efficient when the other agency had a targeted surveillance operation already in place covering a target of interest, rather than in the naive “on demand” form.
I think part of the problem is that (in my experience) open offices actually do boost productivity somewhat, but only when the office is a small 2-5 person pod. I lose productivity when I get dropped in a huge floor of people chatting and talking about things not related to what I'm working on.

It’s a question of agency. Young children rarely get the feeling that anything they do has inherent value.

Something as simple as gathering twigs for a campfire is unusual specifically because it’s helpful. Activism at that age is a mix of learning experience and actually useful. So, IMO it can be a positive activity in the right context.
Time-series is definitely not synonymous column-oriented. The data model is separate from the storage layer which is separate from the use-case.

You're talking about relational databases (which is the formal type) designed for large-scale analytics using column-oriented storage and processing and supporting a time-series use-case.

Storage and querying just for time-series specifically is more about product features than the underlying type. For example, here's Pinterest doing the same on HBase: https://medium.com/pinterest-engineering/pinalyticsdb-a-time...
It would be slightly less hypocritical if some of the same people that are wringing their hands about people being mean to Greta Thunberg weren't egging on awfulness against the Covington kids.

The point was that in the UK at the very least, Labour used to be voice of the working class. That we can't point to Labour as being the "working class commentator" which we used to is a great indication that they are no longer in touch with their working class origins.

Edits (sorry I've been editing a lot) - I think the main point is that Labour used to be the voice of the working class. Now it's the voice on behalf of the working class. Working on behalf of and in defence of but not actually from. So they are still very much involved in the lives of the working class and seek to serve them but the relationship to them has changed to one of a benevolent caretaker. Additionally they no longer use the term "working class" and prefer "vulnerable people" which to me indicates the change in relationship better.
> Beyond that, you're inferring threading into the problem.

That's what I was thinking. There are no threads in the example.
She can pursue it, but I wouldn't let my child skip school to do it..
Also, if it's related to politics there is a ton of misinformation and a child can easily be manipulated into landing on the wrong side of the fence.
No, I don't think that way, although I do understand that others can reasonably frame it in those terms.

If I'm working on a product that I am interested in on its own terms, 99% of the time what I want to do lines up very well with what my customers want, so they aren't really "dictating" anything.
The best office I ever worked in was an open office... with an open remote work policy. On any given day, only 15-30% of the office would be in; meaning while the office was "open", it was also usually empty and quiet.

People came in when they had in-person meetings, and teams generally fell into a loose schedule to come in on the same days 1-2 times per week.

I thought it provided a good balance; the company need to have a huge space to give people private offices etc, and it was quiet even if someone nearby was on a call.
Not only that, but Dropbox lets you pick any publicly visible document that's been viewed by a large number of people and easily spam them simply by writing @doc.

I may have just pissed off a lot of people with my experiment :(

I realised immediately afterwards how reckless that was, but Dropbox - WTF? Why is this even allowed?
Also since they supplied equipment to them it would not have been as difficult to trojan it.
Yeah. "The C++ idiom" makes sense though, so thinking of this as a big matrix with the rows labelled with a task and the columns labelled with a language, rather than calling the rows "idioms", you can call the columns "idioms" instead.

Yeah...we definitely have our issues. For me (early 40's now) it's also about proximity to work as well as restaurants, night life, arts, etc.

But it truly is frustrating in many ways. Broader tax base needed to fund infrastructure isn't there. Lower-income residents can't pay for it. Developers and big players get breaks in order to lure/keep them. So us moderate-income residents pay the high taxes and it still isn't enough to fund what's needed.

Add to it the fact that at the state-level, many residents (and their elected representatives) seem willing to just let the whole thing fall apart rather than deal with it. It's really disheartening. Still bitter that they canceled the planned metro addition that had been in the works for years and had a ton of federal funding secured.

At least it's still cheaper than DC ;)
What about tracking students in high-school precludes your being able to attend university at the age of 28?

Insofar as I'm aware, one can change tracks in most tracking systems. It just isn't entirely common, likely because it puts most on a path where they should be.

> Trolling is a fundamental right , not being trolled is not

Freedom of association is as fundamental a right as freedom of speech, and freedom of association means that nobody is entitled to an audience.

If you email me, I have the right to block your emails, and indeed refuse all email from your domain.

If you DM me on Twitter or Mastodon, I have the right to mute you, and indeed the right to refuse all DMs from non-mutuals.

If you come to my house to harangue me, I have every right to call the police and have you charged with harassment -- and in some jurisdictions I might even be able to get away with shooting you and claiming I did so in self-defense.
As a remote employee, I fully agree. Also, can we stop polluting the environment unnecessarily? There are too many cars on the road with just one person inside. How many of those people really need to commute into an office every day because the job requires it?
The activists and media are to blame for the harassment? What about the people doing the harassment? Trolls have 100% responsibility for their behavior. Any suggestion otherwise is not grounded.
> ... and transport protocols ...

Are you referring to Layer 4 here? SCTP and DCCP may want to have a word with you. :)
Likewise. I achieve very little unless I feel like I'm letting down other people if I don't succeed. I can cope with the self-loathing of letting myself down, so if my plans are private I struggle with motivation. In fact, I add extra sticks (which I react to far better than carrots): two years ago I announced my weight loss goal – which had a strict deadline – in public and the extra stipulation that were I to fail, I would not touch alcohol for the entire following year. I firmly believe that without either of those, I would have found it ludicrously easy to cheat and fail.

There's really something to this. A friend of mine recently received an email to her dev shop criticizing her for using PHP. The funny thing is, she knows the guy who sent the email. He runs an IT business and sent an article to her client about the latest web technologies, then the client said "we use PHP, is that OK?" to which IT guy, with close to zero web experience, replied that it wasn't.

I was pretty upset on her behalf because she and her team do really awesome work and it's not like they are using the same PHP you'd use back in the early 2000s.

I'm wondering if paying so much attention to new tech just naturally makes people a bit more shallow when it comes to actually using tech.
Yes. And I was thinking more of activists in repressive places. Who, notwithstanding what we might think of them, are criminals in the eyes of their governments.

You could literally say that for all the examples, even in C you can omit the return value of main.
> I think the point many people are trying to make is that open offices decrease productivity for most people.

I don't think people stop there, however. Many people, including the author of the article, go the extra step to say that open offices are bad.

I don't think you can argue against the fact that a significant portion of the population works well in open offices, so when you say stuff like "open offices are a dead end", that's a direct attack on the work habits of a significant part of the population.

The combativeness, I think, comes from the fact that almost everyone has been forced to work in a situation that doesn't work for them. But the solution isn't to try to force everyone to use your favored office situation: that's just doing the same thing to others that was done to you. Instead, we should be focusing on finding office situations that work for each of us, and letting others choose office situations that work for them.
They to make "passive" noise cancelling earphones. Basically, headphones that are thick and insulated enough to block surrounding noise without needing to cancel it. (Also sold w/o speakers as something construction workers would wear for ear protection.)

I like noise cancelling headphones when on an airplane, but in everyday life I tend to not like the effect either. The older ones gave me a bit of a headache. The new ones just have that pressure you describe.

Sounds lovely in theory but I'm struggling to think of a real world example where this happens in low-wage jobs.

> food delivery is just about the least skilled (lowest training required) job you can find in the US

If done by car it requires a drivers' license, putting it several steps above zero-training

Um... you realise that this work already exists, right? The apps aren't actually creating work. At best they're coordinating logistics.
Is it really to their benefit of they loose money unrelated to the supposed debt doing it?
It sounds like a good idea, but on average women are the absolute worst at first messages.

A site where women message first means their first message is a limp cold “Hey”, after which you are expected to craft some sort of interesting and thoughtful message for them to grace you with their response, otherwise they’ll just move on to one of the other hundred men available.

Online dating cannot work without the asymmetry in the dating game being resolved.
One nice thing about this is that it allows accessing IPv6 sites over and IPv4-only connection.

I'll definitely be using this as I can only connect to my house via IPv6 and my mobile provider doesn't offer it. This means that I can just toggle on the VPN for when I need IPv6 connectivity.
> You routinely shadowban people you disagree with

We don't ban people we disagree with. If we did, hardly anyone would be left unbanned.

As for shadowbanning, the practice is as I described it: if the account is established, we tell people we're banning them and why (your account was an example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15615092). If an account is new, different rules apply: we (meaning some combo of software and moderators) have to make a guess about whether the account is legit or not. If the guess is that they're spamming or trolling, we shadowban the account. We guess wrong sometimes, but we do what we can to correct those cases. And we're always happy to unban anyone who gives us reason to believe that they'll follow the site guidelines in the future.

Rate limiting is a separate issue. If an account posts too many low-quality comments too quickly and/or gets involved in flamewars, we rate limit how much they can post in the future. It's annoying and crude, but it's one of the few software tools we have to prevent comment quality from degenerating too quickly. Again, people are welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and we take the rate limit off if they commit to not repeating that behavior. It's not hard to get an account unbanned or unpenalized if you really want to use HN as intended.
More than interaction, it's a living organisation in the service of life.

> The anti-intellectual attitude of the designers sucks. "Screw anything discovered by PL research in the last 30 years, we just want everything like in the good old days with C but with GC and concurrency" is just silly. The "developers are too stupid to use smart features like generics" attitude is quite offensive.

It's not anti-intellectual. It's just reasoning from a different set of premises.

Go is remarkably productive. I've written extremely complex software in it and found that I rarely miss that stuff. I do agree that it needs some limited/minimal generics support for data structures and algorithms, but that's about all I would add.

I think it shows that a lot of the stuff that's been explored in the last 30 years in languages just isn't necessary. Go is not a language for showing off how smart you are with esoteric language constructs. It's a language for getting things done with minimal cognitive load across the problem domain.

http://www.ariel.com.au/jokes/The_Evolution_of_a_Programmer....

Go is for people who have made it to at least apprentice hacker in that progression and realized that complexity is evil. Complexity should only be added when one is dragged kicking and screaming into it by the inherent complexity of the problem domain, and even then only after exploring ways of avoiding it.

I applaud Go's designers for doing that at the language level. They're being dragged into generics after exploring all possible ways of avoiding generics, which is the right approach. They also bailed on an idea to add unnecessary syntactic sugar to error handling in Go because it isn't necessary. It saves a small amount of typing in exchange for increased cognitive load, and cognitive load is more expensive than keystrokes.
> “If it doesn't feel comfortable,” said Dr. Ritch, “you’re going to dispose of it more quickly.”

Or for me, after every shirt I try on feels uncomfortable against my neck, I lose hope and just quit shopping for clothes. It solves the waste problem, but I wish I could find a way to solve the problem of fabric distracting me as it weighs or rubs against my skin throughout the day. Maybe nudist camps are the real answer here.
