I'm curious if abuses like this would sink the company if they went viral (eg. no animator/programmer would want to work for the company or would demand much higher cash compensation) or if it would be a non-issue like Equifax (who didn't seem to lose significant business, despite taking a massive post-data breach reputation hit).

I'm curious if more information transparency change the employment market.
"Administration" is probably a better way to frame it. The New York state government and its associated spending is one of the single most undemocratic and corrupt institutions in the world. It has been so for over two centuries.
You actually just crossed the two again.

The leftist position is the imposition of the language is yet another form of oppression. Crafting new social hierarchies based on language, like has has existed throughout time, is wildly incompatible with leftism.

Anarchism, Libertarianism, these are closer to leftism than liberalism.

The liberal would reproduce class hierarchies through language and phrasing virtue signaling, ignoring and respecting people based on their use of language. The left has no such masters which is why they have such a hard time consolidating and organizing - there isn't a central cultural idealism.

And just to be clear, I'm perfectly happy with being ahead of the curve on this one and getting the "down votes". I know most people don't currently see or care about this distinction, but it's really important.

The two words begin with "L" and sound alike and the liberal party tries to capture the left like the conservatives try to capture libertarians, but these four things aren't really two things and their differences matter.
There is a lot of featherbedding going on. Read this article about the Manhattan tunnel costs. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subway-... There are people who are paid to do nothing because that job existed in the past.
It seems to say that StackOverflow -- as is only professional -- will not share anything unless the fired mod agrees.
Are these things true of Chicago & Austin as well, or is the the common misconception that "non-coastal" regions means "rural"?

In any case, you cite

> * Lower incomes

> * Less savings

in response to an article about a person who is miserable living in a garage. Is it strange to consider that some would rather be "worse" off living in a larger purpose-built dwelling somewhere else? Perhaps they can get paid on an SF pay scale and buy housing in cheaper markets?

> * Higher suicide rates

SF is literally building a suicide barrier on its iconic bridge.

TL;DR; It's okay that people want to live where they want to live. People thrive in different environments.
I would recommend Opus Magnum over TIS-100 even for people on this site. Its the result of the Zachatronics formula having time to grow after SpaceChem.

The main reason I personally prefer Opus Magnum is that solving the levels is easy, but optimizing is challenging and rewarding. TIS-100 on the other hand has a higher difficulty to initially solve the puzzles and optimization becomes a little bit of a guessing game. Also having only 3 saved solutions per level makes it hard to optimize without losing past solutions.
Immutable is the right word. I was trying to “fix” the new dark mode in Calibre 4 (it’s bad and clearly not tested — the default hyperlink colors are nearly unreadable and the hover-over color in the library menu are impossible to read), and while I could fix the CSS in some parts (which was the dev’s dismissive answer to the bug report on how dark mode is legitimately broken), other parts can’t be fixed without using overly-complex plugins (that have to apply overrides every time you start the app) or ripping apart the source in a way that is not worth the effort.

My solution was to use a different Mac app to “force” Calibre to ignore the systemwide setting and use its light mode instead.
I really don't get it. What advantage does this bring over the old Web/Weave Pascal -> C build system?
I suspect that the average user of SE will not care one bit about this whole drama.

I do find it frustrating, puzzling, and sad how SE appears to have treated Monica Cellio. She provides an excellent summary (from her perspective) here: https://cellio.dreamwidth.org/2064709.html
Politics have crept into every aspect of life unfortunately.
Every time I think about playing those games, I can't help but be dissuaded by the likelihood that learning actual machine language for ARM or x86-64 would be considerably less difficult and, in the long run, more beneficial to me.
Tell that to all my brilliant friends stuck in the Midwest or other countries.. that work harder than I ever have, but can't fall into a high paying job like i can simply because of geography.
Disagree with the non-apology part - "I disagree with the 'non-apology' part of your comment"

It's clearly very grovelling - "the apology is clearly very grovelling".

I'll assume my comment confused you in some way due to me not typing every implied word or punctuation mark out (no snark intended - was on a phone), I can see that I suppose. Fair enough.
You are writing as if there is a conflict here.

Rudeness never was OK.

Problem is she wasn't rude. She was communicating exemplary and no examples have been given of anything else. What is happening is she's been tried for thought crime in a secret court and it seems her professional[0] writing style can be construed using the necessary mental gymnastics as her not wanting to please the wishes of certain people.

[0]: again, not only professional but also exemplary based on all we've heard.
I would love a nice couple paragraphs that said "here's what happened", otherwise taking any side in this is just taking shots in the dark, I'm basically reading "certain events happened with a certain individual and that's not okay"
I feel like you have this backwards - it's the Apple TV that is failing you, not the computer.

Changing your MAC address as a part of this convoluted workaround is not a normal way to go about solving that problem. People aren't supposed to have to know how to change a MAC address or ever be expected to do it.

A streaming device should definitely be able to handle a captive portal. Roku 4 with Roku OS 7 or above can handle captive portals.
Note that this violates the macOS licensing conditions unless you're running on Apple hardware.
This insistence on assigning maximum negative intention to someone's actions is really bizarre, and is a trend I see a lot of on the Left today (though it isn't limited to them). You're reading into what Shapiro does (I don't follow the guy) and inventing an entire narrative around it that makes him sound like an actual in-real-life cypto-Nazi (which is a little strange, as understand that Shapiro is Jewish).
> We are disappointed with the lack of responsiveness to community concerns. On Meta Stack Exchange, bug reports, feature and support requests go unacknowledged, sometimes for months or years, and some excellent posts never receive a staff response. Meanwhile, there have been cases when staff have responded to complaints on Twitter almost immediately, taking action without due process and without consulting with the impacted sites.

It’s sad that more and more companies ignore normal support channels (a very well established and proven one in SE’s case) and only answer to Twitter shaming. For one thing, it’s very unfair to those of us who don’t (otherwise) use Twitter — I have to keep an account just for tech support, and even then I highly doubt my requests are valued as much as ones from accounts with 10k or more followers.

It's terribly sad that StackExchange is less likely to respond to a well-reasoned argument by informed and invested moderators like this than a pack of idiots on Twitter hooting for blood. Cancel-culture is cancer.
Bay Area post war housing just a bit over ~1k sq.ft. There’s 5 of us + a dog. We survive, but the overhead of having to constantly repurpose the same physical space for multiple activities (homework, dinner, etc) gets tiring at times now with kids entering teenage years. For my family size, I think ~1600sqft would be ideal. A two car garage would be nice as well.

Will probably have my kids help me plan, permit, and build an ADU in another year or two. Figure that’ll be a good summer project they’ll probably hate at the time, but appreciate down the road.
>If these companies wanted to they could mass produce and sell at 1/10th the cost. But that defeats the purpose of these cars existing.

I'm not so sure if that would be feasible. In the case of say a limited edition Hurican I don't think there is enough additional engineering cost that can justify doubling the price of a $500k car for special editions, but I'm also not sure if mass production could drop the price for a new one down to $50k. The amount of specialized equipment and expertise involved in building these things are immense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVjtpr6LUuE

After all, while the new c8 corvettes have near-supercar levels of performance from a numbers perspective for a $60k car, the exterior and interior quality is so far away from that of supercars and hypercars it's not even funny, and GM is still taking a loss on every 'vette sold. The companies listed in the article just make extremely bespoke and specialized vehicles, and I'm sure mass production would only cause quality control issues. Besides, there really aren't that many people that can afford such expensive toys, mid-tier luxury brands like BMW and Mercedes already have many $100k cars (AMG's and M cars) sitting on lots because of a lack of demand; It's not because people don't want them, they just can't afford them.
Probably should have been:

Why are branch delay slots a bad thing?

Branch delay slots were used in early pipelined RISC processors: MIPS, PA-RISC, SPARC. These were short pipelines but not superscalar and not out of order superscalar. Navigating pipeline hazards gets much more complicated with much deeper pipelines, more functional units and out of order execution. Basically, branch delay slots don't scale.

Ask HN: Tell me about your startup Idea, I will tell you if it's worth a $1bn?
Keeping in mind, people often need validation for their business ideas often Founders & Engineers miss the part whether their idea is worthy enough to pursue. So, I wanted Hacker news community to pitch their ideas in this forums as an experiment to see how many are comfortable sharing their ideas and also want them to get validated.

Please do expect fair amount of criticism about your ideas from others and me.
Yeah the area where I grew up had no older houses. Florida swamp getting filled in with what would now be called McMansions and one 1000’ house designed/built by my dad — no air conditioning either. Definitely a conscious choice lol.

But thanks for the education on older homes and SUVs.

Reads to me as StackOverflow will not share anything if they feel revealing the conversation would hurt their PR.
I tried it last Saturday but it just said “None Available”.
Living in the Midwest myself, I don't think there's any shortage of work available. Doesn't pay as well as living in California, but I also paid $100k for my house.

Glad you liked it, gumby! Stay tuned for similar experiments to promote adoption. :)
If the free market was less constrained, there would be less of a housing problem, because the pursuit of money by developers would cause more housing to be built. Acting like the artificial scarcity of housing has nothing to do with it and telling people to just reduce demand because it's a market problem is a weird solution, since the first thing everyone learns about markets is that their is supply and demand which together affect prices.
I totally get what you're saying. For x86-64 I recommend Ray Seyfarth's book: http://rayseyfarth.com/asm/

But I can't help suggesting you try TIS-100. It's genuinely enjoyable and not like regular assembly at all.
They can start their own company too for a job, maybe bring their own venture capital firm to fund it, and probably they should also bring a few tens of thousands of like minded employees with them to get a liquid job market going and good network effects. The problem is that it's super hard to do those things, even for nation-states.

It's actually very hard to imagine that your grandma did those things either.

There exist plenty of nice tree-lined streets around the country with free parking. In hardly any of them do houses cost $2,000,000. I think the reason housing is so desirable/expensive has very little to do with your grandma's choices and more to do with historical and economic factors that individuals have little control over.

There are certainly trade offs to be made. Housing has already become unaffordable for middle class people growing up here (that don't inherit a house), and many lower income people already commute multiple hours each day. But solving this problem might involve some homeowners (with already huge financial windfalls), not exactly giving up their homes, but having to look at some buildings and/or people they don't like.

All that being said, strip malls in the south bay would probably make more sense for redevelopment than already-dense SF neighborhoods (and I've been to the area of SF you're talking about and can certainly acknowledge the charm).
Backdating to skirt FMV is not allowed, but the valuation is ordinarily based on the last funding round--for preferred stock, with some terms favorable to the investors--and what you're getting options for is common stock, with no terms.
Public policy is enacted through regulations. The housing shortage is a regulation problem, that must be addressed through public policy.
Another older but really good Zachtronics game that I like to recommend is KOHCTPYKTOP, which simulates something similar to MOS semiconductor logic. Your job is to build ICs which conform to predefined stimulus/response patterns.

Unfortunately, it requires Flash, so it may be difficult to get to run in a browser nowadays. Totally worth it, though!

The distinct advantage of a tiny house is that it forces you to live a tiny life. It changes how you think, plan, buy, and behave.

I think of it like a stomach stapling:

For some people, it makes all the difference to their quality of life.

For others, it's a solution to the wrong problem, and therefore not a solution at all. Maybe even something that compounds their existing problems.

"It's hard" and "it's impossible" are very different beasts, and I said the former and not the latter. I think that the fact that the US economy is still growing despite disastrous trade policy and oncoming global downturn illustrates my point. Years of national and global scale economic mismanagement haven't yet managed to drive the US economy into recession. (Also, the Fed is pretty good at its job.) In comparison, during the financial crisis, issues with a particular asset class in the US economy within months causes a worldwide recession due to increased assessment of credit risk and corresponding tightening of lending that had to be mitigated with massive bailouts to prevent a death spiral.

As a further example, during the financial crisis many banks in perfectly healthy condition were forced to take bailouts so as not to inflame the perception that certain banks could not be trusted.
Fuel taxes cover less than a third of road costs in the US. Gas taxes are really unpopular and generally have been allowed to dwindle away by inflation.

"The only use is showing off and making yourself feel good about it."

Do you never buy anything for visual, tactile, or other aesthetics? Or is that what you mean by "making yourself feel good about it"?

I don't think modern Bugattis are attractive. But that's a personal opinion, like what art you like. Nothing to do with "status" or other peoples' opinions.

Learning an actual machine language is definitely harder, all of these games use extremely limited instruction sets and/or simplified operating conditions.

As for more beneficial, I'm sure learning a real practical machine language is more beneficial. However you can definitely draw some of the same lessons out of these games and depending on you, might have a lot more fun and chances of actually going through with playing these games.
To be fair, AO is an agency. This is clearly a post intended to provide guidance when working with a client.

I reviewed Bitwarden for use in my company a few months ago. I discovered that there was no way for an admin to allow the recovery of an account (i.e. allowing a master password reset). This is a non-starter in my organization since some small percentage of the users will forget their master password.

Has anyone else been successfully using Bitwarden in a team setting? If so, how do you work around the limitation I mentioned and other such things?
> Maybe a keybinding can be added to enable/disable "smart" completion (leaving only simple filepath completion). Seems like it should be a relatively quick configuration fix.

There is a keybinding to do simple filename completion: Alt-/ (https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#index-com...).
Just because you may have a larger income than others doesn't mean you should pay more money to equal a lower income person's cost percentage of income wise, that's unjust in itself.

Honest Question: Why continue to support stack exchange through this? They have shown themselves to be disingenuous at best. They are now profiting off free labor. They started it because ExpertsExchange was hiding answers. They rode the high horse to hypocrisy.

Why continue helping people like that succeed?

Why not just start a new one? Leave en masse to a new playground. Speak with your answers.

Show the powers that be they can't treat the sharecroppers like this anymore.

That's pretty much exactly how most Americans ended up on this continent. Someone in your ancestry faced exactly the same question and made the choice to come here. It's been a good run but sometimes you have to make the hard choice.
> people looking over your shoulder is a way overestimated danger

Depends on your environment. I personally have learnt at least two people's email passwords just from watching them type (not to use, just to see how easy it was), and I've seen an instance of a Windows Domain admin password being shoulder-surfed. Making it easier seems questionable.
People can and do put their cars right through houses, which cost much more than $100K. And some houses are situated in spots where people crash into them over and over, like at the end of a T where it isn't visible to a reckless or drunk driver until too late. So wouldn't your logic apply equally to such a house?
Eek, that's not good! Would you mind sending me a screen capture at vivek@pragli.com? Sorry about that!!

well, everything is political for most people who aren't fortunate enough to be born as the default universally accepted type of person, with enough money to not worry too much about that either.

most of the conflict here comes from dealing with people who can't accept that everything is politicized and their actions matter along a political dimension whether they care or not.

It's incredible that pronouns can bring down an entire community. Pick you battles please, we're losing good things because of this silly conflict.
Actually, she appears to have wanted to not use pronouns at all--to write in such a way that pronouns, or at least third person singular ones, are never required. And the SE staff appears to have told her that would be against the new Code of Conduct, apparently on the theory that purposely avoiding the use of pronouns counts as misgendering, even if it's done all the time and not just with respect to particular people.
I hate this trope. Woz was a technical wizard, but Apple would have failed (and nearly did fail in 1998) without Jobs.

Apple's worst years were when Jobs was gone and the company's management was trying to beat IBM clones when Apple had few distinguishing features and the clones were competing on thin margins, while Apple largely tried to avoid the (except the few years when they allowed Apple clones). When Jobs returned, the OS changed, the CPU architecture changed, the shape and design of the computers changed, and new computing devices (iPod, iPhone, iPad) and created the iTunes + App Store.
