It's not a straw man; it's exactly what's being proposed. This is an invented dichotomy. If a private entity is not liable for its users' content, it doesn't follow that they then can't moderate that content. We don't hold bars liable for defamatory statements their patrons make, even if they kick out people who say racist things.

If I understand correctly, you're also misapplying common carriage here. Common carrier laws basically say that if all you do is transport things from A to B, you can't discriminate. That already doesn't describe social networks, which do much more than just deliver your speech: they algorithmically promote it, sell ads against it, etc. But OP is speaking even more broadly than that. One example they've brought up is YouTube demonetizing people, which has nothing to do with transmitting speech.
Be seen. Volunteer for on-campus events that are organized by the university (find the person running something, and ask them directly if there's anything you can do to help them).

Always ask "Is there anything else I can do to help" after completing a task. Always be the first to start volunteering (show up early) and the last person to stop volunteering (stay late).

If you're a person of good character and genuine spirit, people will notice and talk about you. People will ask your help with bigger things. Repeat.
I'm old enough to feel like '99 wasn't that long ago, to have seen the movie when it was released, and formed an opinion of it that I can still defend. I'm not sure which part of my comment made it sound like I was talking about ancient history. But tbh 20 years ago actually is a pretty long time when talking about pop culture stuff.
I'm from western Europe, but I've lived in one. Some of them are quite comfortable really and well-built.

The layout of mine was quite smart. Lots of sunlight inside, lots of green around it. City centre, close to everything. Cheap. What's not to like?
I haven't tried them yet, but in the work reference manual, look at:
3.3.7 – Local Declarations
and
3.3.8 – To-be-closed Variables

I think the syntax use is:
local x <const> = 5
local filename <const> = "/etc/fstab"
local fh <close> = io.open(filename, "r")

> Edward Snowden is in exile because of the things he had to say about America

This is a false comparison. Edward Snowden is in exile for revealing state secrets. That’s different from freedom of speech. He is not targeted because of what he said, but revealing state secrets. It’s distinct from freedom of speech.
> divert money from teachers and school districts to universities for no actual benefit, so that's great. Hope they manage to keep it up and that spreads.

I am hearing sarcasm, which I would wish to encourage in the US, but it is possibly out of place on HN.

So far New Orleans has been my favourite US location that seemed to have sarcasm as a culture (although I have sampled very little of the US).
In my team, when someone can't make it, they call in to the meeting. It's a short meeting, just a few lines per person. Doing it over the phone is totally fine.
So what you're saying is the Stack Overflow staff is part of a "very clear group" whose intent is "oppression of speech anywhere and anyway they can make it happen," and that eventually they will somehow find their way here?

You're accusing me of lacking a solid argument, but you've got nothing in this thread but hyperbole and vague, sinister assertions about an enemy you won't even name.
Well, people don't buy cars because the car won't kill the pedestrians they hit in a crash; they buy cars that won't kill the driver in a crash.

What we need is to change the incentives further down the pipe; for instance, if we eliminate vehicular manslaughter as a criminal category.
> I never really understood how these desks were "frugal"

Ditto. It might make sense to build a door desk if you happen to have a suitable door in need of disposal.

My girlfriend made a decent workstation out of a 3/4" 4x8 melamine panel ($30), some cheap Ikea Kallax-like shelf units for legs ($20/ea), white corner trim ($1.75/ft) to make the edges nice, and whatever the screws and nails cost. Probably $120 all-in.
1. American culture may be anti-altruism, but I can still argue that altruism is a good thing. Developing life saving drugs is a good thing. I'd like to think that on this forum everyone can agree that technological innovation is incredibly important. Of course I would prefer everyone contributes to drug research costs, but if others aren't willing to pick up the slack I am.

2. Drugs cost upwards of a billion dollars to develop. Plenty of failed drugs cost a billion dollars before they fail. If drug companies don't make money they will stop developing drugs.
Not controversial IMO, but useful.

Most companies are stuck in the dark ages, despite what you think after browsing HN. A lot of money to be made in consulting if you can market yourself well.
Really? I imagine that fewer than 1% of Linuxes boxes out there can successfully send email to a public email address.
I mean, it all depends on what the contract says. If it says that they’ll only do 5 kids out of state it’s a huge breach to do 17 in-state. Contract terms offered from businesses to individuals should be enforced very strongly given the inherent power imbalance of that relationship.
I think that might be too optimistic - it went from a table with thousands of records to hundreds of millions of records. If I were to speak technically the oracle optimizer "did a derp".
There’s not even an expectation of privacy in a public setting, realistically what harm is being prevented by obtaining “informed consent?”
Good luck remembering complex business logic in your perfectly readable code and all external dependencies (DBs, other microservices, etc.) a few months after you last touched it, and in the middle of the night.

And after a few refactorings.

Most errors have nothing to do with “unreadable code”.
It seems plausible that the 3D vector structures are there to provide a skeleton onto which the 3D satellite images are mapped. Whether you think the latter is useful is another matter...personally I think it is helpful as a way to visualize the general appearance of an area beyond the narrow perspective of a Street View/Look Around car.
Here some reasons I have seen why nobody has a clue about value...

* Often the financials of a company are "need to know" or obfuscated (Y-Axis unannotated)...
* The financials are regarded as irrelevant to engineering (by management, finance AND engineering)
* The estimates of where the value lies is often just a spreadsheet sucked out of the thumb of somebody in marketing who already has a eye on his next job.
* Nobody _ever_ goes back and closes the loop and evaluate the value estimations and the value estimation process, so the company never learns to do better.
* Let a drooling slob of an engineer talk to a customer? You're joking Right?

And yet engineer is all about tradeoffs, we make several per day under the illusion we know which are wise....
And calling her out for being autistic means that the discussion became ad hominem. Keeping that away from discussions is the lowest standard virtually everybody agrees on. The article doesn't condemn this, it seems more like a random rant.

I used to be a big fan of discussions in political talk shows, the kind you might maybe see on PBS (or C-SPAN). Unfortunately this style is dying out in the sense that it has no more visibility.

Most discussions visible through media seem to be pretty aggressive and ignorant of what other people say. To be informed about a topic before joining the discussion is no more a requirement. This wouldn't be such a big problem but of course of this omnipresence it's a role model of how people communicate in everyday life and in the workplace.
My two cents, Apple Car edition: adding such detail increases the visual noise when glancing at the navigation display, where simplicity should be king when the user is driving.

Kickstarter refuses employee's request to recognize union
OCD seems prevalent in programmers. For me full sentence comment / commit message requirements are the ultimate process for the sake of process. Such a bikeshedding waste of time. Such policies serve absolutely no objective purpose. They're only there to satisfy some leader's asthetic senses and feeling of control.

As for easier to read thousands of newspaper headlines and magazine article titles provide strong evidence otherwise. Even HN itself is proof it doesn't matter
Steampunk is just an aesthetic, in my opinion. There's no real ethos behind it (that I'm aware of) to make it an "artistic movement".
The argument about children is easily invalidated by the fact, that for some reason that during the Vietnam / Afghanistan / Irak war many children were harmed for much less than everybody's privacy.
Golang DNS client vulnerable to DoS attacks from PTR records
Yeah, the lack of composeability in raw SQL is pure agony for me. The very fact that "UDFs area performance disaster" is considered acceptable for a SQL in 2019 is revoltingly laughable.
Feel free to point to literally any harm to these people - there isn’t any. We’re talking about capturing faces in a public place where there’s no expectation of privacy. What does “gross” even mean beyond “it offends my sensibilities?”
> Nobody is inherently against public transit.

I knew plenty of people in the suburbs of Dallas who were against public transportation and any expansion of DART out to their towns. It was usually accompanied by talk of "that element" coming up from the city to rob their houses. It was fucking ridiculous, but unfortunately these people exist and need to be dealt with in order to get transit projects through.
Most languages out there including dynamic ones have built-in IDE support that tracks refactoring down to comments.

Don’t know what the state of Haskell refactoring is now but it looks like until very recently “great refactoring” was “change one thing and then manually fix compiler errors”.
> A major problem with train systems in the United States (and this is both short and long haul) is that almost the entire country is sprawl - built around the automobile.

this is an excuse i have repeated myself, but it is just that, an excuse. have you actually been to china? i have never seen such sprawl. shanghai is massive and sprawling. but yet, they (china) have extremely efficient and unbelievably cheap trains and subways. also, i have never seen a cleaner subway than what i saw in shanghai.

and this excuse doesn't even account for regions like the northeast. the amtrak from boston to new york takes four hours at its absolute fastest and costs couple hundred dollars. this is unbelievably sad. in china, the same ride would take about 1.5 hours and cost around $20 for business class (in u.s. terms, as in china, it's called first class).
You started it. ;)
I don't believe you need the Yelp app. It will prompt you to use it, but reviews (and seemingly all other information?) can be viewed without the app.

Edit: never mind. I’m wrong. I could have sworn I used to be able to just view the web version of yelp last time this came up, but I might be misremembering the browser vs the Maps app experience.
As investors in YPF and Argentine soybean farming found out, the Argentine government is happy to let you invest your money into Argentine business and lose money in some years, but if the business becomes profitable, they will find a way to fix that, whether that's by adding import tariffs, last-minute export tariffs (!!), or simply confiscating the company, as they did with YPF. Amazon might be savvy enough to cheat the Argentine government instead of being cheated, but many high-rolling gamblers have tried their luck in that casino, to their sorrow.

There's a key cultural concept in Buenos Aires: el vivo, the guy who knows what's up and knows how to take advantage of others instead of being taken advantage of. Sometimes it's used sarcastically, like "wise guy". One antonym is gato, "cat", the guy who sells out his cellmates to the prison guards. Macri, the current president (until December, most likely) is reviled as Macri gato in graffiti all over the city, if not the country. Argentines have a pretty zero-sum mentality—if someone is doing well, it must be because someone else is doing poorly. Macri talks a big line of hooey about how he believes in win–win deals but then he uses that rhetoric to justify government giveaways to him and his friends, in a classic zero-sum style.

This means that whatever actions a future government takes to claw back this deal will have a lot of public support.
It took a bunch of old NIMBYs to have scooter companies install speed limits within certain locations. We have the technology to have cars automatically limit speeds to the maximum allowed on the given road. We choose not to. Instead people keep getting killed.

This is not pie in the sky science fiction to drool about. We could do it now. We could do it 5 years ago.

Thanks for the feedback.

So regarding your hypothesis on the spikes being sent to pods that no longer exist/are starting: 1) it is the responsibility of the ingress controller on K8S to properly handle that situation 2) it would be highly unlikely for people to implement their own custom ingress controller around a given proxy (it's actually somewhat complicated) and 3) the pod theory wouldn't address the latency spikes seen on reconfiguration.

But you're right that there probably should be some explanation around why we think this is happening (I just didn't want to speculate too much; I suspect that the issue is with the hitless reloads implementation in the proxies which is tricky to do well).
The freeganism link in sibling comment provides a pretty good overview.

In my case, I live outdoors more than half the time, sometimes couchsurfing.

I obtain food primarily from waste.

My electronics are hand-me-downs.

For getting around, I ride with people going my way or walk. I am a careful driver, and sometimes I help drive as contribution. Sometimes I ride trains and buses, which cost minimal money.

I pay a few hundred a year for domains and hosting.

Occasionally, people offer me money. I used to not accept it, but now I just do my best to limit its use to the above.

If I go to a coffee shop, I typically do not buy a coffee. If I sit at a fast food place, I don't buy anything.

I do not feel that I owe anything to anyone just for occupying space.

I do, however, place some properly logoed cups (reused) on my table, and I pick up any trash on the floors, and fix the chairs, and sometimes wipe the tables with abandoned napkins.

It seems kind of silly sometimes, but it's a system that's working well for me now.

I like to visit libraries, though hours are typically limited.

It has taken me about 5 years to transition to this life from full-time job, apartment, and cat.

I had previous camping experience, and a relatively low regard for social norms. I am a man, which obviously helps with safety. But women do it too.

This practice has helped me develop my meditation practice, write more code I can be proud of, and travel without worry about where I'm going to stay when I get there.

Because my past jobs contributed to selling soft drinks, securities, oil, etc., I think that my "environmental karma" is much better. I also have the time to stop and pick up the trash everywhere I go, a practice I find to be both enjoyable and great "natural" exercise.
Because as code evolves you may find you need some logging in pureFun and now you have to go and sprinkle some IO wherever pureFun is used, which may propagate to who knows how many other places.

Of course, I suppose there is always unsafePerformIO, at least for those late-night debug sessions.
Resilient SSH tunnel app (keep alive and conn retries)
Latest version of mole, 0.5.0, adds two new features that increases the resiliency of an established tunnel:

* Idle clients do not get disconnected from the ssh server since Mole keeps sending synthetic packets acting as a keep alive mechanism.
* Auto reconnection to the ssh server if the it is dropped by any reason.

Apple Bans App That Allowed Hong Kong Protestors to Track Police Movements
I used it 2 times in Brazil (I think their first market) and really enjoy the whole process.
I used it to go to the airport. Friday night with traffic, you need almost 2 hours to reach the airport from my home. Using that I could do it in 45mn door to door. (20mn ride to the helipad, 10mn wait, 15mn ride)
You can also enjoy the view which is a big plus.
> Get the scoop on what's actually going on at executive levels by making friends with the office managers/personal assistants.

I'd expand this to always make friends with gatekeepers. Office managers, PAs, front desk, kitchen staff, building security, etc. They're hardworking people who tend to be ignored and mistreated. Respect them, be friendly, and it will open many gates along with making their lives better.

Slightly off topic, but it's been frustrating to me that large organizations only want to implement OpenID providers and not consumers. What Apple has done makes it easier to bring your Apple identity across the internet, but it's ultimately an identity that Apple owns.
I don't understand the meaning of saying an employee is paid to do that. You might also pay a marketing agency to do it. The point is, Reddit doesn't get paid. As someone who uses Reddit everyday, I never see their ads, but I do notice posts that mention specific brands, websites, companies, etc.

A professor I took a databases course from in college was convinced XML was the next big thing, so he made us also learn the XQuery language [1], which does things in roughly the order you described.

I don't remember the specifics, just that the acronym was something like "flower" and you started with your from clause and ended with what you would return.

Interestingly, while the 3D buildings are present in the vector map of Washington DC, they appear to be disabled in the Satellite view. We wondered if this was intentional obfuscation, in the same vein as how the rooftops of certain DC buildings were blurred out in early satellite imagery on Google Maps.

EDIT: clarification
Given that my primary experience is with Judaism, I don't really have a point of reference. Although based on the few Christian holidays I know from living in America, it certainly feels that Jews spend more time remembering persecution than other groups, but that could be because we spend a lot of time remembering the fairly recent persecution of the holocaust.
Government programs will never be as efficient as private ones unless they utilize market power to make themselves price setters. Nationalized health insurance is a great idea, but nationalized health care would be much more difficult to implement, and would likely not be as good as the system we currently have.
No I don't think so. Deliveries are still going up and up! Just not quite as high as the TOP end of the Wall st. forecast.
My experience matches yours, my friends and acquaintances at Amazon have been fine people, it’s just that some of their organizational decisions / probably how middle management comp gets calculated can make things toxic.

Also Amazon is easier to get hired at than other big tech companies, so I guess it is some strategic decision to hire/fire easily rather than have a stricter hiring process that would also introduced a lot of false negatives (like FLAG do).
To be pedantic, Java perfectly encodes the information that a piece of data can be missing - any type supports null as a valid value. What it can't do is encode the information that a piece of data CAN'T be missing.

Because this is generally not secure. The driver OS will have access to hardware that can bypass the memory restrictions set upon it by the microkernel.

There is sometimes special hardware to address this but they are too complex to manage from the kernel.

How about we techies stop kissing ass to the advertising execs and stand up to them for once??

They want more data, more relevant ads, more more more more more. Their ask is impossible without massive invasions of privacy. Fuck them, I say

Return to scattershot ads, they can understand me as an audience without having to mine every ounce of my life for it. That approach will produce more relevant ads for me anyway
