There's no magic bullet solution to finding a great life by just applying for a job in the right sector. Non profits are not necessarily healthier places to work.

The world as a whole is still trying to work out how to be productive enough to provide for everyone, fairly or reasonably divide up the pie and achieve the vaunted work-life balance.

That's a relatively new concept. In the past, a lot of people were literally slaves or metaphorically "wage slaves." A standard expectation was that the man of the house was the primary breadwinner and he had a wife handling all the quality of life work -- cooking, cleaning, shopping -- so he could put most of his time and energy into the job. In exchange, he got enough income and benefits to support a family.

We are gradually transitioning to a two income couple model in part because people are living longer and having fewer kids. It no longer makes sense to sequester female labor and limit it to women's work. It doesn't make sense for her life, for her marriage or for society.

The transition is proving bumpy.
This is why I stopped applying to YC. I feel I've learned most of my startup skills through trial and error by now, and don't have the need for them. I'm able to raise funding, build a product, and grow the business. You guys have already proven to be better than most of the applicants in my opinion.
There have been a couple of years where I worked several different out-of-state contract gigs, and a couple of years where I received unemployment due to me from an out-of-state employer. I was not trying to do anything monstrously complicated, nor was I some millionaire - I just did the jobs that I was able to land to feed my family and pay our mortgage.

I went to experienced tax professionals to help me with those returns, and _they_ were baffled, spent hours pulling out phone book-sized paper guidebooks, and debating with each other, and making phone calls to colleagues, and I had to file amended returns - in one case, _twice_. Fortunately they never charged me anything to correct the errors, but... wow.

What hope would I have had to get it right myself, trying to fill out the various schedules?

The author of this article, Stefano Maffulli, claims to be the leader of the Italian chapter of the FSF during the mid 2000's. Besides the personal attacks on Richard Stallman, it's clear that his perspectives on software freedom diverged from Stallman's and the FSF's around that time (after the release of GPLv3).

Maffulli definitely does not help his point by attacking Stallman's and the FSF's position. Maffulli does have a point in that the scope of software freedom has greatly expanded and has come under even greater attack than before (through the rise of mobile and the cloud), and there needs to be organizational efforts made to resist it. I don't see how either of their perspectives are mutually exclusive.

One point Maffulli should have emphasized more and elaborated upon is how FOSS actually ended up being the "most perfect shackles that society has ever had." The only thing to say anything about that is a video that the phrase is linked to. If he had attacked Stallman and the FSF less and focused more on the crux of his arguments, then he would have a much more meaningful and impactful article.
My computer as a teen. I would literally stay up late reading the monitor ROM listing and thinking Woz was some kind of super hero. Anything Apple did after the ][ seemed like a betrayal to me (although I do own an iPod I love).
I love my evilmadscientist axidraw but honestly they are a bit pricey. There are several chinese knockoff kits to be found on alliexpress/banggood/etc that work very well. There are also a few interesting 3d printed projects to be found on thingiverse and in the greater maker community. I've built a midtbot, fun little project if bart has boards available (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2587684) and I've got the full BOM and have printed most of the parts for a modest sized d.i.d. plotter (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3789969).

Also don't discount polar style hanging plotters they can be tricky accuracy wise due to sway, which i've seen countered both by decreasing plotting speed and by working the potential sway into your design. Just a quick search turned up this https://www.hackster.io/fredrikstridsman/stringent-the-15-wa.... You can start small like that and then improve components along the way. Swapping the string for beaded cord or timing belt etc. They are patricularly interesting drawbots because if you want to plot a larger area you can just spread out the motors and add more string.
If this is Deliveroo ("limey", hottest startups) and you've been there for a few years you don't need to wait for an IPO to enjoy healthy stock?
> i stopped reading there and took it as a summary of the article. don't care about stallman nor FSF

So you didn't read the article and you don't understand any of the things that it's discussing, but you want us to know that you think it's bad?
> "We start out by transmitting a random white noise signal. But we are generating this random signal, so we know exactly what the randomness is," said first author Anran Wang, a doctoral student in the Allen School. "That signal goes out and reflects off the baby. Then the smart speaker's microphones get a random signal back. Because we know the original signal, we can cancel out any randomness from that and then we're left with only information about the motion from the baby."

Reading between the lines of this, it sounds like these folks found another clever use for adaptive filtering. I wonder how well this plays along with whatever adaptive filtering is already going on inside an Amazon Echo?

As I've learned more about the guts of voice speakers' signal processing, I've come to realize that adaptive filtering plays a huge part in making modern acoustics and telecom possible. It's a super cool subset of signal processing if you're interested in that sort of thing.

> It would, I think, better inform the public about the actual process of science, rather than making it sound like a new discovery has been made, which has not happened, clearly.

I disagree with this -- dark matter and dark energy have been discovered in exactly the same sense e.g. quarks have been discovered. Like dark matter and dark energy, quarks cannot be observed directly. Rather, physicists have made observations that are most parsimoniously explained by the existence of a theoretical entity with certain characteristics we have named a "quark".

Similarly, physicists have made observations that are most parsimoniously explained by the existence of theoretical entities that behave like matter and energy but are otherwise difficult to observe (like quarks are difficult to observe directly).

The standard model provides a theoretical understanding of the nature of quarks -- but if further findings in particle physics disprove the standard model, then we'll have invalidated our understanding of the nature of quarks.

Similarly, if a future theory shows that dark matter and dark energy are not weakly interacting matter and energy then we'll have invalidated our understanding of the nature of dark matter and dark energy.

People just don't know how valuable this data actually is. Sure it only gets value if a critical quantity is reached.

There is just a disconnect in understanding. With huge efforts they will create archives of 5% special price coupons, but how tech companies extract free money from them is beyond their comprehension.

The implications of having every deed and word quantified is perhaps too abstract a danger to understand.
We still do that. People looking to get a green card need a medical exam. Certain conditions will disqualify you from immigrating although those have been scaled back.

Other countries do it too, but also for financial reasons. Canada will disqualify people from immigrating if they will put an undue burden on the healthcare system.
I think Leo would get a kick out of this, also Les.
In Programming, DRY sometimes requires meta-programming or introspection. This is something which people sometimes don't want to do by intention (for instance because there was some common decision in a group not to use a preprocessor language or code generation).

However, I have seen so many weird examples of repetition just because programmers were not aware of the features offered by the programming language they were using. Repetition is usually a sign of somebody not thinking hard enough or not caring about good quality, maintability, readability, etc.

You should try meeting up with him. Let us know how that went via HN.
I don't understand the business model of Startpage. They pay Google for using their search engine. Their revenue comes from non-personalised advertising.

So that means either Startpage has higher ad margins than Google or Google is selling services to Startpage below their own search margins or Startpage has some other source of funds to subsidise the search engine.
Encapsulation is desirable because it limits the possibility space of what can operate on a set of data. Referential transparency is desirable because pure programs are much easier to reason about. If I understand what youre saying, it seems youre saying referential transparency and encapsulation are at odds and encapsulation is more valuable, but I disagree. Hiding state maybe keeps things tidy and enforces that you need to use the API, but its not really the point IMO. The point of encapsulation is managing state mutations. Hiding state is only a small part. You dont need to hide state as much when its immutable because then you don’t need to care what other code is doing with your emitted data structures because it doesn’t effect you.
But it does run on my Unix boxes.
I dislike CaMelcAse as well, but to each his own, I have stuff backed up from my windows machine on my BSD machine that has spaces and uppercase i leave it in case i need to restore. It does not mean you cannot take it seriously.

MacOS is one of the few registered UNIX systems out there (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_UNIX_Specification#macO...).

I actually do not own a Mac, but it is a decent OS and performs well and tries to be windows friendly (hence camelcase and spaces) and tries to be stable and secure.
If you can flat pick a guitar for 10,000 hours without desiring to learn more and better yourself, then I claim that you are already the best you can be. You simply haven't the curiosity or drive to become better at it.

Nope. In New Zealand you log into a website and it shows all your employers filings. You can send in requests for corrections if things are wrong, but it shows you taxes paid and anything you owe the IRD. It has an interface for transferring money to/from your bank account for payments/returns.

It's a little more complex if you own a business, but I think you can file and maintain all your business taxes throughout the year using an IRD website as well.

The US IRS has all the information to do the exact same thing. It's lobbying from the tax software companies that's kept them from doing so.
They are private, but I believe SpaceX depends heavily on government contracts, so the fact that they're private isn't terribly relevant.
As I mentioned though, it's not "safe" to use the shortened aliases cross-platform - I've been bitten by that multiple times before, from memory including `ls` and `wget`.

> If these users are breaking laws, then put them out of business via the courts and sieze the assets (the repos in this case) via legal means.

What if it's legal where's it's happening? Let's say that China use Gitlab to host their repo for their software that track US citizens. Would you be happy with that?

> The tech unicorns screwed themselves over BIG TIME, the second they stopped claiming they were just infrastructure and platforms and got into content moderation.

That's absurd, it was always true for ANY industry. You can decide not to support a company by not buying there because you don't support their moral standards. That's perfectly fine. Would you still be with an ISP that is against net neutrality while there is another one that is for net neutrality? Now replace "net neutrality" with any other moral decision and it's still valid.

That's what make company decide to takes moral stands. It's purely economics.

> They will now forever be a pawn of whoever has some power and has some agenda.

That was always true and still is even with Gitlab decision. Even in this case, Gitlab decision makes them a pawn to whoever has the means to do business with them. They want to still be able to get the business of ICE, China, etc... and you.
They can't levy huge penalties and interest on you 10 years later. Generally they have 3 years or maybe 6 [0].

It didn’t break my setup as much as it broke my trust.

Now I have my entire network set to hunt down and kill any attempt of DoH and IP-ban all known resolvers.

Just because we can’t trust even (formerly) respectable software vendors to respect the user’s network.

To be honest, it’s hard to imagine a horror story where the protagonist has a company that is growing fast and decides not to take on investors.
There's multiple factors at play, and the everybody-must-go-to-college bandwagon is certainly a big one.

I'd add a second one. It used to be the case that you could hire programmers without screening based on degrees. But that was back when programming was offputting and unappealing to anyone but nerds dedicated enough to become good at it.

Now STEM is hot in the collective conscious, programming is seen as a well paying job that's easier than becoming a doctor or lawyer, and corporate efforts are trying to recruit as many people into the candidate pool as possible.

Right. But it matters that they are employees, not just that the information is material and nonpublic.
I think it is a more than a little weird, as we find that over different scales our ability to predict loses its precision. We attribute this to an unknown something, that is sometimes referred to as "dark matter", but in reality is something we have not directly observed. Dark matter is essentially a placeholder for our ignorance, but with a little bit of assumption sauce thrown in.

So your chief complaint is that people call it a bang instead of an expansion? Obviously from my comments you'll see I agree we're a little over-confident in all the specifics, but the question isn't "was it event 0", which I don't think anyone has really claimed, but could events, specifically this star, that occurred outside of the horizon of that expansion now have moved into our visible universe.

If that's not what you're saying I really cannot see what point you're making.
I'm honestly surprised the relatively low percentage of posts that contain what they define as "hate words."

Anecdotally, these statistics make YouTube seem worse.
lol, there's the hot reloading.

But that's an interesting talk. I didn't have time to go through the whole thing but the core of it seems to be the pros of erlang like BEAM's high concurrency advantages and uniformity of tools running on top of otp.

It's an interesting argument.
It's hard for me to believe this is just sloppiness, even. The headline, subhead, and podcast link all say "before they apply". The lede is the story of a student visiting the site and being profiled, and all of the data listed could plausibly have come from somewhere outside an application. It's only ten paragraphs later that the article returns to the initial story and clarifies that the profile was derived from her application.

The use of cookies in this way is novel for universities, if not for other sites. And some of the other moves like classifying contractors as "school officials" look like blatant attempts to bypass privacy laws.

But the headline here vastly oversells what's happening; the amount of data available prior to an application doesn't seem much different than what I remember getting in unsolicited university ads. That's been happening at the very least since the College Board decided to sell all sorts of exam information to universities.
> We covet our automobiles so dearly that we have decided to ignore the perils of air pollution and traffic stress on our own health.

This is not how we got here. The reason most cities are built around cars is because of a long and successful campaign by special interest groups to remake cities (human living in general, even) around the automobile. I never chose for things to be this way because of how much I like cars (I don't). Almost no one was ever given a real choice for things to be this way. It just happened because it was profitable and because corrupt governments did not force external costs to be paid for by those making the profits.
"Just don't use" for what is arguably the world's most successful interpersonal networking system is a pretty vacant suggestion.

Gabe here from the Azure team. Happy to answer questions about Dapr and OAM.
Yes, sure, but that wasn't what the comment I was replying to was talking about... This is about the difference between always-on listeners, including Echo, and stores where you buy things.
> Don’t try to install things with brew if brew is not installed:

if which brew 2>&1 /dev/null ; then

This just hides a useful error message (brew not installed). I would rather just see that error message (either interactively or in a log) and have the script fail. Hiding the error message just leads to an eventual failure down the road when jq is invoked.
It used to be that way in France until last year. The income taxes are now substracted directly on your paycheck.

Be careful, a lot of SG90 servos are fakes. Below a certain price, they all appear to be counterfeit.

As far as I can tell, the real ones have four screws in the base, and "TowerPro" printed into the plastic on the top. The fakes have two screws, no brand name moulded into the plastic, and inevitably stop working quite swiftly.

It's ironic that bad faith accusations of insanity against people with different opinions are generally more tolerated than good faith assertions of mental issues impeding those who we are sympathetic to.
Yeah, I don't think the physicists are confused about the terms, it's the use of the words in the popular lexicon that I think breeds confusion, and sometimes causes a missed opportunity for educating the public on how science works.

"The Easiest Things" is the refrain of poor UX advocates.
Why exactly aren't you fine with that? You run a node and you decide which nodes you want to connect your node to. If such a node gets a Tx it will be relayed to your node and the other way around.

It's not like your node would copy their validation and just agree with what they agree. Every node always enforces all the rules. So your node checks if a Tx is valid anyway and if you get invalid Tx from a node you trust it wont make your node accept that Tx. But it should make you overthink whether that node is trustable.

Trusting nodes is a "reliability rating thing" it doesn't really affect the consensus decisions because Tx are either valid or aren't.
The consensus that must be found is only about the order of Tx. If the majority of the validators say Tx X was first and therefore Tx Y is invalid (attempt to double spend) but your node got Tx Y first then its totally fine to flip the order of these two since both are valid just not at the same time.

"Voting" which nodes you trust means you trust them to be reliable/fast and not controlled by a single entity or controllable by a single entity (gov.) So with a clever trust list you help decentralize the network and help that the network runs on the most reliable nodes. You don't change the rules or allow other to change the rules. You can even make mistakes. You can choose some nodes that turn out to be not reliable/fast or even actively malicious. It has no fatal effect and can be corrected as soon as it is detected. Only if everyone would select over 20% "bad" nodes it could halt the consensus. Still would not allow a single false Tx or a single Tx reverse. It would just stop until some nodes remove the bad actors form their trust list.

As your quotes says "...run by different parties who are expected to behave honestly most of the time." The "trust" you give them is very very very limited.
IIRC, this "need to have an address" is something that had adversely affected some nomadic people Inuits of Nunavut, Canada. I guess that many of them were, more or less, forced to adopt permanent residences and it destroyed their nomadic way of life. It's something that had never occurred to me until a read an article on it. I'm sure the problem is more pervasive that I know.
nothing, I'm talking about OP's theory. A gravitational lensing based result is particularly strong due to it being model independent. OP's theory cannot account for lensing inferred CoM differing from the baryonic CoM in the bullet cluster.
