I agree. I don't think you should do anything. The point is to create an economic incentive, not a short term tax for the hell of a tax and then undo the incentive with various patches.

Yes right out of the gate, it will make things more expensive across the board. However, the point isn't to decrease everyone's use of energy in and of itself. It's to get the companies to respond to their decreased revenue with greener alternatives. The decreased use by the population would help and you could make the argument that the wealthier demographic uses more energy than the poor so the taxation would be fairly distributed.
Unfortunately, I count myself in that 27% due to not having the time/mental energy after putting in 12+ hours a day 5 days a week and then taking care of the house and family on the weekends.
In New Jersey, bear spray is also illegal (or it was when I last lived there, 6 years ago). And this is in a state that acknowledges that there's a problem with bear overpopulation.

If you see any other comment I make (and I don't expect anyone to spend 1 second on seeing my other opinions) I am always positive an open minded. Right now this snake is threatening my well being, my income, my life balance. I don't take that lightly. This snake is also being reckless with a neighboring country, Ireland, and with his dangerous and careless actions he is risking to throw them to another decade of Troubles (look it up). My negativity hurt your eyes. His actions may cause deaths. You're right. I'm to blame.

Edit: I actually upvoted your comment, you are right on calling out my comment :)
Social media promised to connect people. It connected avatars instead.

People are physical. We have bodies and brains. We have thoughts and opinions. We have friends.

Avatars are conceptual. They have representations, not bodies; "profile pics" that are edited and changed constantly, never bearing much resemblance to the human it claims to represent.

Avatars have agendas, not opinions or thoughts. They seek to convince you of something. To buy, to vote, to protest, or simply that the anonymized human behind the avatar has a life full of wonders and happiness. Agenda.

An avatar has followers, fans, not friends. Social media avatars have little to no interest in you as a human being. Your body's eyeballs are an avatar's currency. It wants your them to see its agenda so it can win.

A social network that brought humans together would fulfill the promise of social media. Meetup.com might be the closest thing to that. For now, social media does not connect people, it connects avatars--personifications of agendas which are built, almost always, to serve its master without regard for others.
Yes, absolutely. Most people simply cannot understand true sociopathy.

Hobbiest, here. While these types of products are very easy to learn how to control, I would discourage anyone from suggesting that they "fly itself" because it's that type of thinking that encourages newcomers to the hobby to ignore learning about safety and following regulations. They only fly itself to a degree, you still need to be diligent and they can be dangerous machines.

Which of my points do you think are in contention? That technical interviews can be gamed? That product questions aren't asked? Or that technical interviews produce bad signals?

Because I have plenty of evidence for all of the above, and the fact that technical hiring is profoundly broken is discussed ad nauseam on HN.

It's interesting that militia are looked at with a lot more suspicion than individual gun ownership. Buy a gun as a mentally-healthy individual with no prior criminal record, and nobody bats an eye. Get together with a few hundred of your gun-toting buddies to train together, and the FBI is probably going to come knocking, unless you're a private security contractor with an obvious profit motive.

Java app servers with high request rates suffered this problem, leading to throttling of SSL session creation and thus reducing effective requests per second on the server.

I doubled throughput on two different projects by 'fixing' the /dev/random-/dev/urandom problem.

But writing your own can be worse. Stumbled onto a substantial CSRNG bug on an embedded system than was ignoring most of the seed data due to a premature optimization in the ingestion code. Even after that the people who wrote the glue code wanted to do their own entropy mixing. Lesson not learned, at all.

> I can't use my Twitter!TeMPOraL_PL account to talk to you, because there's no transport between Twitter and HN. And even if it was, now two brands would be involved in communication.

You could almost do it if things like the Keybase identity graph were widely used. It seems like that concept would lift the identity out of the brands. As long as you linked back to an identity chain from your identity on each brand.
You read their original teachings and see what they said. It's clear that there was deviation from them. This is acknowledged by those who studied the subject well.

They do not require you to install updates to play music. Updates are never mandatory, except that if you update a zone player then you must update the controller to control it. If your controller is ahead of the ZP that works fine.
All good tips and ones I've learned over time as well. Particularly like the "set a price on mistakes" part. I think communicating there is a healthy amount of mistake-tolerance does wonders for long-term personal and professional growth.

Just for curiosity, how do you think you and your co-founder would proceed if there was misjudgement about a $1,000 risk that turned into a $10,000 one?
> The Revolutionary War was not a precedent, it was a single violent act by a unified people. What you're talking about is literally the opposite of unification.

You dropped this when you quoted me. I wonder why...

To think that we should resort to violence instead of using the systems in place for peaceful negotiations is insane.

Also, interesting how you only quoted slave-owning inspirations of Southern Democrats, who buried their heads in the sand, preferring to talk high mindedly in their ivory towers about the Constitution than actually fix the immense problems facing the people they purportedly wanted to help.
Bottom line: I will regulate till the economy collapses.

Hmm, the council thing sounds kind of cool actually - I wonder where they got it from? The Venice Beach work location sounded kind of nice too.

On the other hand, I do share the frustration with being stuck doing "team-building" stuff that you hate. In most of the cases when I've had "team-building" or mandatory "fun" activities for work, I would have preferred to stay home and sleep. It's also hard to let your hair down when there are bosses around who have the power to fire you or determine your rate of pay.

The biggest problem seems to be bad/micromanaging boss "John."

I concur with the overall point about working remotely being great and often much more productive than working in the office.

In VSCode there is no modal - ctrl-f then type (regex is supported) and it autoscrolls + highlights in the text, the minimap, and the scrollbar. No mouse (unless you want to) - you don't even need to press enter.

So apart from lacking the visual feedback of scrollbars etc, sounds like emacs is the same.

Recently graduated computer scientist with industrial experience in developing and maintaining software systems. I am a motivated hard-working self-starter capable of delivering assigned projects on time and in full.

I'm a back-end developer specializing in the Java and JEE environment and have developed many back-end services throughout my time in University, personal projects and during work experience.

Most of my tech stack has been built on Java and MySQL, as well as having experience using Java add-on tools such as Git, Maven, Spring, Hibernate, Docker, Cloud and Jenkins.

I am open to discovering and learning new technologies and tools as shown through my projects in different areas of Software Development such as Front-end Development, Mobile Application Development, Data Science and Analysis, Machine Learning and Game Development.

My most well-known project is:

-My Final Year Project titled “Crowd Simulation Software” framework allows for architects and developers to build their own simulations with pre-defined programs to control the agents and how they interact and to create environments to hold these simulations in, this allows the architects to develop and improve their emergency preparedness and response procedures. This project was built using the Unity Engine with C#, specifically with the NavMesh AI library to control the responses and movement of the AI.

I am particularly interested in the areas of Back-end roles (Specifically JEE environment or C# and ASP.NET environment), Data Science and Machine Learning, but I am open to roles in other Software Development areas.

Thank you for your time!

> It may be helpful to differentiate Chinese people and society from its government.

Not to mention some 50M+ Chinese that don't live in China.

> Overseas Chinese (traditional Chinese: 海外華人/海外中國人; simplified Chinese: 海外华人/海外中国人; pinyin: Hǎiwài Huárén/Hǎiwài Zhōngguórén) are people of ethnic Chinese birth or descent who reside outside the territories of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Although a vast majority are Han Chinese, the group represents virtually all ethnic groups in China.

Chinese culture is much bigger, older, and grander than the CCP.
One of my relatives retired from teaching a couple of years ago. She had guaranteed raises every year and ended up making close to $100,000/year.
Your formatting makes it look like you are giving examples of unarmed people who are shot by the police, but your list doesn't reflect this. Here's what I found looking at the first three names:

Jeremy Connolly: Armed with a knife.
"The KBI says police shot Connolly after they found his 71-year-old grandmother, Linda Kromer, stabbed to death inside his home in the 2000 block of Harold Avenue. Officers heard noises in the basement and found Connolly in a bedroom with the door closed. He was armed with a knife." https://www.kwch.com/content/news/Man-dies-from-injuries-in-...

Wallace Wilder: Probably not armed.
"Wallace Wilder died Wednesday afternoon after being shot at his Gordo apartment in Pickens County. He had long ago been diagnosed as a bipolar schizophrenic and even was found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity in a Tuscaloosa County killing in the 1980s..."
https://www.al.com/news/birmingham/2019/08/man-killed-by-ala...

Bobby Ray Moore: Armed with a gun.
"Authorities have identified a man they say was killed after pointing a loaded gun at San Joaquin sheriff's deputies in Stockton." https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/stockton/man-shot-a...

While we do have a terrible problem in the US with police shootings, it's unhelpful when misleading claims like this are made. Where did you get this list of names? Did the source claim that all were unarmed?
Of my grandfather's family, of his nine siblings, two survived. All of them where strong and healthy, late-twenties to early thirties, and died within three days. We elide over the impact of that event to rather focus on the notion that such concept are safely 'in the past'.

“…every, nearly every porch, every porch that I’d look at had–would have a casket box a sittin’ on it.

A few questions: do you repeat any interview questions across candidates? Do you work for a company that sponsors H1Bs? Does your company have some "prestige" (either a highly visible startup or one of Facebook/Google/Microsoft/Apple/etc)? If so, then your questions are almost certainly available online and talked about in detail within the Chinese community.

I would like to point you to (and encourage a search of your questions or your company): https://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/ . This is probably the largest board out there that shares interview questions (and answers!), techniques, approaches, etc... including leaks of questions, "help" from insiders at large companies, and more. If you seem to suspect that there is some sort of nation-based component to your Chinese interviewees doing quite well, I suspect you may find your study is poisoned and I recommend a redo. As an American, I have not found something similar to 1p3a in terms of the wealth of information available for getting recruited at large companies.

1p3a isn't the only one out there either. There are many more. This is just the one I've been able to hear coworkers and students when I was in undergrad talk about a lot.
Bloomberg Promotes Michael Riley, Co-Reporter of Last Year’s the Big Hack Story
I don't know which kindle you have, but I wanted to say, that I finally bought a kindle (paper white) and it has been a breath of fresh air. It's possibly my best purchase this year. I use it when I want escapism without the noise that is my phone. For me it's turned into a good medium ground even though I prefer a book's aesthetics. The last book I tried to read, I literally could only make it 2/3 of the way before it was impractical to hold one handed, a limitation of reading while holding twins until they fall asleep. Also the backlight. I can read a book without having to turn on a light when dealing with said twins in the middle of the night.
When I was a child, I really hated having to cut my nails. One of the reasons why I developed an interest in technology, is that I wanted to build a device that cod take care of this horrible job for me. Insert hands, and bam, nails trimmed to the ideal length.

To this day, I've neither seen nor built such a device. Devices to print patterns on your finger nails do exist, however.
Even though it looks the same, it probably won't taste the same. A lot of the issue with frozen pizza is that it is frozen, which means the ingredients are not fresh. These ones could theoretically have fresher ingredients. That will matter a lot when it comes to the dough.
>they nearly bankrupted themselves

They did bankrupt themselves. The Crown treasury was completely empty in 1788.
That's part of it, but drawing a linear fit through the data shown in the article is outrageously misleading in itself, and should be rejected outright.
Out of curiosity, how do you handle avoiding long thin objects (cables, power lines)?

Is this something that modern drones can handle now, or something that requires careful flying?
The entire problem is that we categorize people into different buckets. "White", "Black", "Asian", etc.

Admissions must be race blind. In general our society must be race blind. "White" people were once Polish, Italian, German, etc. Yet these identities have melted away over generations in large part because society did not and does not actively reinforce these identities.

By forcing people into these buckets we reinforce the very divisions that we want to overcome.
To clarify, is this meant as a joke of some sort?

Just not sure if it's just a satirical thing -- like, "Hah, look at the silly word jumbles my script generated!" -- or if it's meant as a tool for something.
All very plausible, but maybe aerospace is just something they're weak at while getting strong on others (computer vision recently, but maybe that was also stealing I can't say).

Anecdotally, the strongest student grade wise I've seen in college was a Chinese one. I don't think she managed to cheat there.
Twitter and Snap have never meaningfully competed with Facebook in terms of market share. Probably one of the reasons FB didn't acquire them, too.
