The sources in that article who lead these anti-child-trafficking/image organizations complain about cripplingly inadequate budgets and lack of human resources (employees). They do NOT complain about end-to-end encryption. They ask for more people, and more money, which the government is apparently consistently unwilling to grant them. Instead, the govt foists this absolute horseshit about limiting/backdooring e2e on us, while screaming THINK OF THE CHILDREN.
Young people have as much or more time than other groups.

Seniors have time but have trouble getting to the pols.

Middle age - Are working/picking up kids but still find time.

I think younger people see through the effectiveness of voting. If I do vote my vote seems to really not matter. If all young people vote as a block maybe an issue will be mentioned or moved towards something I like. But the effort / reward doesn't add up when the election is decided in the mid-west and the election is called before my vote is even records as a California resident.

It seems crazy that you are given two choices that basically blame each for everything gone wrong or take credit for everything positive but do the same thing when given the chance.

From the 10-Q Q2 Quarterly Report;

Deferred revenue related to the access to our Supercharger network, internet connectivity, Autopilot and FSD features and over-the-air software updates on automotive sales with and without resale value guarantee amounted to $1.19 billion and $882.8 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Deferred revenue is equivalent to the total transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of the balance sheet date. Revenue recognized from the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2018 was $113.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. From the deferred revenue balance as of January 1, 2018, revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $44.5 million.

Of the total deferred revenue on automotive sales with and without resale value guarantees, we expect to recognize $567.0 million of revenue in the next 12 months.

Presence based management, colloquially known as "Butts in Seats Management", is the opposite of results oriented management, IMO.

I hate it when a company says it's "results oriented", but turns out to be mostly "butts in seats" that demands results, too.
Has Overtourism Killed Big Sur?
I've had a fugitive apprehension team surround my home... guns drawn, riot shield, the whole nine yards... looking for the guy who broke into my home, stole a firearm, sexually assaulted a person living there, and had continued threatening the victim via phone calls and texts for months.

After they caught the guy, I found out that those guys showed up due to a DNA match against subsequent violent crimes, for which we were the only victims who knew his identity. Soon after the cops re-victimized us they put out a media alert that quickly resulted in someone turning him in. It was two more months before anyone told us they'd caught him. Two. Friggin. Months. Of continuing to worry that this criminal might make good on their threats of doing further harm.

Seriously, I can't imagine many people reading this have lived for months under that level of stress and fear.

Fuck the police.
> I don't understand why they don't just ask for what they want, why say it's about "user safety" when it's not about that at all.

Because they don't care about an honest representation of their argument, they just want to have their will imposed. The best way to do that is to lie.
This is really great. So many people were up in arms about Apple releasing an implementation that didn't comply with OpenID. Good on Apple for addressing the issues.

Amazon is crazy. As soon as they drop the cash they will get ripped off.

Also crazy they give huge tax-breaks and legal loopholes to foreign companies. Nothing worse to an Argentinian than another Argentinian.
Sorry, your idea is lunacy, and here's why:

>Employees could take home more of their salaries.

That's not how it works. These companies would pay much lower salaries, with the justification that "the cost of living is much lower". We already see this whenever companies have multiple locations, with any of those locations in low-CoL areas. They'll push employees to relocate to the cheap place, but the employees don't get to keep those high salaries.
It costs $0.75 + $1 for phone number lease to send a 100 sms on twilio and you're charging $9.99. what makes your service better?

Small company, maybe a dozen people total, only tech-adjacent, not a strictly tech company. The CEO (which, for a company this size, probably also meant owner and perhaps sole board member) and maybe a fee other people at most had built the site in question.
The issue with a housing crunch and run away rents is that due to our economic system, it’s kind of too big to fail.

If rents and mortgages are a certain price, people keep taking out mortgages for that price with the assumption that prices won’t go down. So there is a huge portion of people and loans whose economic situation is dependent on rents and housing prices not going down. If enough people buy into a delusion with high risk to ruin, it’s not longer a delusion

Let’s say over the course of 5 years rents decreased by half in the Bay Area. The real estate market would also probably decrease by about half. Suddenly tons of people are underwater on their loans, both regular homeowners and many investors who are no longer able to cover their loans with the market rent. That’s bad for banks and a huge portion of the populace, and could cause a huge economic meltdown. So it’s politically untenable.

The only actual solutions I can think of are to never let housing supply become an issue, let inflation take care of it (if people’s income increases due to inflation, and housing prices stay the same, it prevents homeowner/investor insolvency while effectively reducing rent), or just wait for some big natural disaster. So hopefully the big one comes soon and gives us a chance to rethink how we build

Edit:
Credit?

Theres credit in the sense of receiving money, and money in the sense of money going out.

This probably makes more sense to people who have learnt double entry book keeping where credit and debits are reversed compared to popular usage.
I love instagram. I will never use this.
I would be super stoked if I could find a house to buy in SoCal and only have to spend 50% of my income!

> We measure latency for 10% of the requests, and plot each of these latencies individually on the graphs.

So for what it's worth these spikes may very well be single requests that are not relevant and are only triggered by the way the Kubernetes cluster was being manipulated for the test.

> - checks are still a thing in business, what is remote deposit story?

You’re absolutely right - which is why are in the process of adding the capacity to send and receive checks. Remote deposit capture is what we're looking into for the "receive checks" piece.

> - ACH fraud a big thing - do you have ACH positive pay? Ie originator ID and limit?

Yes, we are able to offer ACH positive pay. Generally, per the payment network (NACHA) guidelines, if a fraudulent transaction is identified by Brex or by a customer, we are able to return it to the originating bank. This helps to prevent customers from ACH debit fraud, and allows us to keep track of potentially malicious activity for future transactions.
Sadly it’s the opposite of a joke. 1 bitcoin transaction is 607kWh (or 288kgCO2 and 85g of ewaste). And the more efficient technology gets the less efficient bitcoin gets. Patently absurd.

95% of volume is fraudulent, and decentralized and trustless means that’s an intentional, irrevocable part of the system. Being able to circumvent international sanctions and pay terrorists is a feature. North Korea has been accumulating a large stockpile. More than 50% of hash power is concentrated in 3 mining pools in the PRC.

The higher the price goes the more you have to pay miners for the same job. Just maintaining the price requires $14.4M in new money each day to pay the miners. If BTC goes to $80K each you’d need $144M in new money per day to pay the miners.

And it solves no actual problems people have. Sweet joke fam. I feel like I’m watching the liberty reserve all over again.
99% of domestic disturbances happen in private homes. Should they put cameras there, too?
Good luck! SFers aren’t interested in more housing. That’s painfully apparent by who they re-elect each time.
Ok, I won't argue with that. If you don't work with mission critical systems -- sure, #1 doesn't apply to you. Play with any language you like.
Most likely because a) it happened well before current administration and AG, and b) because Apple didn't saying anything until after it had already been done, rather than declaring intentions and giving the AG plenty of time to draft ridiculous letters.
Doesn't this lock you further under Apple?

Harder to change everything later.
Looks like Apple fixed all of the critical issues here https://bitbucket.org/openid/connect/src/default/How-Sign-in... but left in some "peculiarities," some of which are quite unpleasant.

> The scope value of only the very first request by an application is respected. If an application initially requests only the name scope, and the user allows it, it is then impossible to later also request the email scope.

So if you don't ask for the user's email right up front, you can never ask for it again later?!
Honestly, Amazon, you don't need tax breaks from Argentina.

It's hard to see that as anything but exploitation of a desperate economy. (Argentine peso has lost more or less 90% of its value against the dollar in 5 years)
I mean, I doubt that many UK natives know the name of the US Attorney General off the top of their heads. It seems like a reasonable mixup to me.
Punt is an interesting one. I think the original meaning was "offer". I've seen it used this way in the British press: The company is punting a new product. This could have been the original meaning in American football: to punt the ball is to offer it to the opponents. But since a team punts when they have given up on making a first down, the meaning of punt shifted to "give up".

I don't even know where to start with this. Propylene glycol is used extensively in food, cosmetics and even eye drops. It is the solution in a fog machine. It takes an extraordinary amount to cause harm to someone when administered intravenously. Why would 'evolving with something' weigh into your judgement of whether something could cause 'chemical burn like damage'?
Before the intervention there were three meat options. The intervention reduced this to two meat options. How in the world is this "going vegetarian", forcing you to eat the least bad non-meat options?
I am sorry that Haskell and clojure people have to fight. You don't see me telling Clojure folks when and where to use the tools they enjoy working with.

I think Haskell is an excellent language for servers and API's. It really excels as a backend language. So, I'm sorry you think Haskell is only good for compilers, but I think the range of use cases it's good at is much broader than "Compilers".

Haskell is best thought of as a better Java. I wouldn't select it for every problem, but server API's and backend work is a really good fit.

Also I think Clojure is great. We can both co-exist in this world though. It is possible.

It's unfortunate the OP picked on python - it's not the style of post that I would write.
If you increase the supply of housing, it puts downward pressure on rent

That's the bug right there. Rental housing is a popular investment vehicle, at a ROI of 9.5 % it slightly outperforms the stock market. Any regulation and anything that would decrease profit will be stridently opposed by the wealthy classes. They go and vote and sit on the city council.

We’ll see, since these employers are near the top of the pay scale usually they are pretty competitive with pay to attract employees. I know for a lot of them, they don’t pay that much lower (maybe 10%) even for offices in low CoL areas

For businesses in general, I agree. But there’s a reason I listed these particular ones

Reading your comment tempts me to want to say "You're not wrong calling yourself a snob!" but I'm sure that would be flagged to death as low content snark. Also, it's possibly stupid saying anything at all because people who don't eat stuff like burgers and hot dogs will get all mad when you give your honest opinion that it isn't literal garbage.

haha whoops I hit the reply button anyway despite acknowledging that my post was low content and stupid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Perhaps I should have been more precise with my language. What I meant to say was that I don’t think much has changed about cultural norms regarding bandwagoning.

I put “social justice warriors” in quotation marks because there are bad actors within any well-meaning group who in their own efforts do far more damage to themselves and others than they do to help anybody.
As someone who has been quite active on SO for several years and is also new to HN I’ll definitely say that HN feels more hostile of an environment.

Even when making an honest effort to engage in meaningful discussion you might get sent to oblivion without a single reply or any sort of guidance. It feels like I’m violating unspoken community rules and no one bothers to clue you in.
Love Mike Duncan! I’m going through his “Revolutions” podcast now and it’s terrific. Also worth mentioning Dan Carlin’s podcast about the Achaemenids, obviously about an earlier period of Iranian history than tfa but very good stuff. He covers a great deal more than the Greek wars, and in the west it’s a story we don’t usually hear told from the “other side”.

Fwiw though I’ll take generally Mike Duncan over Carlin - Carlin’s a world class storyteller but imo he gets too caught up in hypotheticals and war stories. Duncan doesn’t have the quite the same “favorite professor” delivery but he covers things from more angles.
I have some published LCAs at home, but the gist is that most US studies:

-assume improving existing infrastructure instead of new right of way and new track, which limits speed to ~125 mph

-calculate efficiency ignoring embeded energy/costs (fuel per passenger mile, instead of complete LCA)

-are based on unrealistic track usage. At some capacity a track can't hold anymore trains and you need a second track, while airspace for additional planes is flexible and almost free. Also the faster the train, the further they need to be spaced out, which typically reduces capacity.

-price subsidies such that ticket price per passenger mile is roughly $0.45 rural - $0.55 Urban, which matches airfare for shorter flights, but not longer ones. (500+ miles)

-that pricing is targeted because it correlates roughly to the service window where time of travel is roughly competitive with air travel, taking into account check-in time.
We already have rewards for help solving some crimes, this just makes it more of a market. Participants could opt to have their rewards donated to charity. If I knew anything about DNA, I'd probably be very tempted to work on this.

Historically if you wait multiple days / weeks to give them a chance to reply they just do an end-run and publish puff pieces in major outlets to try and defuse your article. There are multiple cases of this in the past year.

It's either investigative journalism or it's not. How long you wait for comment has nothing to do with that. Do you really think this is equivalent to tabloids posting faked photos of some movie star's belly?
There's actually something deeply weird about Caesar's assassination. He was well aware that folks were plotting against him, and was incredibly complacent about it all - this is something that ancient sources mention again and again, not just urban legend. You can read that as him just being fatalistic (which was incredibly common in the ancient world) but it's almost as if he willfully invited the whole thing.
Google facial recognition uses dubious tactics to target people with darker skin
For those who don't need all the inside baseball up front, jump to the lengthly footnote for the gist, which itself doesn't exactly get to the point:

> ... The policy is an update to the Code of Conduct that requires us to use people's preferred pronouns (when known). ... I completely agree that it is rude to call people what they don't want to be called; knowingly misgendering someone is not ok. But the policy was about positive, not negative, use of pronouns. I pointed out that ... [I] write in a gender-neutral way specifically to avoid gender landmines, and sought clarification that this would continue to be ok. To my surprise, other moderators in the room said that not using (third-person singular) pronouns at all is misgendering. The employee never clarified, and this is one of the questions I asked in email. In my email I said clearly that I'm on board with "use preferred pronouns when using pronouns", but from the fact that they fired me without warning (or answering the question), I conclude that that's not the policy. I haven't seen an actual policy, though I am being accused of violating it.

Further condensing, moderator asked questions about proposed policy change requiring proactive use of people's preferred pronouns. These questions were not answered. After lengthy back-and-forth, moderator status was revoked.
If I drive drunk then I have to face legal consequences, even if I don’t cause an accident. Just because of the higher probability of causing an accident.

Reduction of foreign military expenditure by Gorbachev, political settlement in South-West Africa/Namibia, and the eventual fall of the Soviet Union arguably did more to remove any remaining rationale of the segregated government.

In any case, sanctions/disinvestment caused many foreign companies to sell their South African divisions at a great discount to white industrialists. These industrialists in turn greatly benefited by opening up in the 90ies.
