“ In an overpopulated world, we don't need more growth but de-growth, at the city,...”

Perhaps it is a little ambiguous. However, the story is about New York City. There’s not much room to grow outwards.

More mass transit in and around the city would reduce the need to own a car.

Apple, ( And Stripe ) used to be very good in their Web Page design and performance, but over the page few years things has gone downhill, along with their product and software quality. This cant be all a coincidence.
While the article centers specifically on Hungary, this is true on other countries as well. In Spain for instance the biggest recipients of such subsidies are the House of Alba, a family connected to the nobility.

It's also well known that a lot of farmers don't even produce much, since the subsidies are tied to how much land is planted, not how much is collected from it. With other countries having better economies of scale, most of spanish farming lives from the money gotten by subsidy and cut their losses when picking up the produce.

There was a point a year or two ago where everyone was recounting these stories of how AI targeted advertising was terrifyingly accurate, it could tell you were pregnant before you found out for yourself, etc. At the time I was routinely opening YouTube with cookies disabled and getting suggested YouTube generated categories with a super low hit rate, stuff like "Recipes" that would be filled with nothing but general interest food videos (i.e. "you won't believe what we found at this market", "we made the largest burrito ever", never with any instructions), "Metal Music" containing a single acoustic cover a metal song and half a dozen EDM tracks or "Role Playing Games" stocked to the brim with Fortnite videos.

I just checked now and it's better than it was but there's still a "DIY" category containing one DIY video, a Japanese cooking tutorial and a video of somebody putting iPads in a bucket of slime. I'm not sure I have very much faith in their ability to deeply infer things about me from a limited dataset when they can't identify videos with ingredients in the description or sort music into genres given the set of all music (and millions of comments on it) to work with.

how about this?

AI is writing code, so its not a far stretch, for AI to edit code, on the fly between hops, so whatever you send can be individually edited before the endpoint receives it.

Those folks have been around forever, and I'm thankful for them. Not for my own sake, but because my mother had 3-4 miscarriages and one child who died of SIDS (this was in the early 70's). They most likely kept her sane.
You’re absolutely right, I’m not sure the other commenters know to which argument you’re referring.

It’s ridiculous to think Bill Gates and Elon Musk are worried about AI because “we would stop at nothing to achieve our goals, AI must be the same way”, and also not on-point even if true. Elon Musk and Bill Gates aren’t thought leaders in AI safety, they are proponents.
> If we expanded what we thought of as “us” from just the individual unit, however small that might be [...], to include the entire country and government running it, there is no telling what we could achieve.

Please consider that people have historically tried to achieve the Utopia you describe, where everyone is expected to put the State before the individual. It degenerates into totalitarianism, since forceful coercion and defining a "them" to the "us" is necessary for that to happen.

I much prefer the arrangement of putting more emphasis on the individual and money being wasted on duplicated r&d than what you seem to be arguing for.

Nothing wrong with it, it’s just weird to me seing a link directly to the homepage of a product that’s been around for 5 years now, and not something like “how to do x with postgrest”. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good thing, just a little weird (in a good way) to me
It was nabla9 missing the point the article advocates for reallocating resources to where they have the most economic effect: the big agglomerations.

Providing free (but crappy) healthcare and education will not close the divide thus created.

So these things are not going to be solved without capable people in places that are behind already. You need good healthcare and good education at the same cost as in the big cities to make it make sense. If the price is free then so much the better but first and foremost this is a discussion about quality.

For example: in a certain third world country healthcare may be free. But all the good doctors have left for the United States because that's where they get paid the most. So now the locals have 'free healthcare' but it doesn't really help them. They probably would like access to better and affordable healthcare.
I'm aware of "h" but never really had an issue determining that e.g. 1144623161 means 1.1G. I guess I recognize the actual length of the group of digits and then my brain splits it up backwards into 161 623 144 followed by a a 1.
Recently spent a night in jail after having a single solitary drink. I suspect (blood results outstanding) that the officer misread .019 for 0.19, which is staggeringly high for a single drink, perhaps impossible.

Having that experience has completely collapsed my faith in the justice system and worst yet, it has taken more than a month for the results and I'm still waiting. My only mistake was being honest with the officer and offering that I had had a single drink an hour before.

I'd bet money that the policies don't literally say "we will claw back commissions you've already earned if you go on leave". The scenario is almost certainly that there's a specific point where commissions are earned as a matter of policy, and that policy doesn't align with the informal understanding of when you earn a commission or the timeframe of the work that earned you the commission.

That's not true, there are little barriers for firing people in Europe.

In Austria/Germany the average tech gig is hire and fire. If some managers sees that your velocity in Jira is lower than the rest of the team for too long you'll be given your notice period and let go easy peasy, no sweat for the company.

To quote on of my ex German boss after he fired a colleague of mine "software engineers are dime a dozen, recruiters flood me with their resumes every day, I can have someone from Poland in his place next week".

This was a F500 company.
Would absolutely love a pointer to such auditing requirements. Very interested in how they are specified as well as what entities are driving the requirements (state law, insurance, casinos, ?).
> How to design the software so that these kinds of changes can be made late and they are not a major work is also a skill to be learned.

And when it is worth the effort.

To be fair to the nosql example in the post, the company in question was an early stage startup. And in those situations available skillset and time to market can and often does outweigh long term flexibility.
Say you were to rename a column, would you achieve this by duplicating the column with the duplicate having the new name?
I think the tone is all wrong here. Economically, it makes sense to "discriminate" against pregnant women, so the discussion should be more "Here's why you shouldn't do it" and less "How dare you do it!".

In most circumstances I agree with this viewpoint, but what happened in this case is something that less-policed societies would see business owners killed for.

The "Here's why you shouldn't do it" is both morally and economically obvious, and any corporation or C-level who can't see that is completely without morals and common sense, along with basic human emotion, seemingly.

"How dare you be so inhumane to your employees that most European countries would see you fined or imprisoned, and that every religion would see you in the worst possible afterlife!"

The press you'd receive alone is reason enough, and anyone with any intelligence whatsoever would see that this would be more broadly controversial than more or less any other possible evil action.
According to NYT and other far left media, any test on a human being is not reliable, breath analyzer, lie detector, SAT, ACT, blood test etc.
Why was this article even posted? Sure, this is a debatable topic, but the quality of this article is... lacking. Waste of time read, though thankfully not much.
Don't much care your gender, but I think that viewpoint is a bit deranged, with all due respect.

There are things you don't do, whether it makes fiscal sense or not. You think very carefully about accepting it as a possibility, because doing so drops the standard for everyone else around you.

If for some reason you do, you especially don't do it unilaterally without getting buy-in from the other party out of respect. It's like people have completely lost any sense of civility around actually finding out what people are okay with.

I vehemently disagree with the economic argument being given primacy over some level of social decency and civil decorum.

It's one of those "honor" things. We do it not because it's the easiest, but because it's what makes us human. Shouldering some extra burden when someone else is suffering from a much greater one foisted through no fault of their own is just how it should work.

Of course no one in business likes that type of sentiment because it doesn't fit on a balance sheet.
But it isn't immutable in the long run. That is, the same entity may have more than one email address over time.
If the machines used to test BAC were reliable, I’d agree with you. The issue isn’t the question of whether you’re actually impaired; it’s whether you’re not impaired but the machine falsely claims you are.
first, I'm skeptical that this trick actually works. IANAL, but as I understand it, the police can extrapolate backwards from the breathalyzer reading to estimate what your BAC was while you were actually driving. this practice is somewhat controversial because different people have different elimination rates, but I believe it is still generally accepted by courts in the US. so unless you're able to delay to the point where you have a BAC of zero (which can't be extrapolated from), this doesn't actually help you. it may even hurt you by adding more variance to the situation.

second, GP did not go so far as to actually encourage people to drive drunk. they merely gave (somewhat dubious) advice to anyone who may find themselves arrested on suspicion of DUI. in almost any interaction a citizen has with law enforcement, there is a strong information asymmetry working against them, and not all officers are seeking a just outcome. imo, any knowledge or technique that counters this imbalance is good for citizens to have.
> The first one of anything is always the crudest. Getting away with industrial, state-sponsored cyber-sabotage is a huge step.

I know the claim is disputed, but if the CIA did cause the Trans-Siberian pipeline to explode in the '80s then that would count as prior art. Even if true it was nowhere near as complicated as Stuxnet, of course.
If her commisions are a large component of her compensation, why shouldn't she get that while maternity leave?
The first and third are both easier for me than the second.

At least in my case, it's not an inside-out or left-right thing, it's a funnel that shows the exact relationship of the data. The problem with the second one is that the multiple distinct statements require scanning up and down across them to ensure the local variables aren't used anywhere else, and then mentally reconstructing the data's flow from one function to the next.

It's also why I strongly prefer statements like this:

A(
B(C),
D,
E(F(G))
)

The flow of data is encoded directly in the visual structure, instead of being split out across various statements using local variables that leak intermediate state and introduce accidental mental overhead.
Even if you flash your phone with a custom ROM you can not be really sure. The camera might be activated by some weird chip nobody even knows exists. I think the sand method is the only way to be sure and it is also a nice reason to go to the beach with way too many cold beers.

Some more than others.
The dirty reality is that software is tuned to constraints of a particular cloud provider. Talk to anyone who's turned a long-lived single-cloud production system into multi-cloud.

Example: How does AWS EKS provision control plane worker nodes? AWS CloudFormation. How do you manage security policies? AWS IAM. What kind of servers do you tune your software to run on? AWS EC2 of course.

Now let's say you wanna take advantage of this fancy "composing the solutions from separate clouds" thing. Let's say you like Azure's Blob Storage over AWS's S3. Guess what? You're now paying for cross-cloud latency! Both in time and in cost.

The devil is in the details.
> Economically, it makes sense to "discriminate" against pregnant women.

I've heard this repeated a lot but I don't get it (I'm an employer). I mean I can't think of many things that would hurt team morale and hiring reputation more than treating a young female employee like shit just because she got pregnant (let alone went through something as horrific as losing a child). What kind of short-sighted psychopath boss would look at this any other way?

I mean, even when looking at it with dry unemotional money glasses, high employee turn-over is a much more costly than the occasional paid pregnancy leave.

I just don't get it.

But yeah I guess that's what your point is :-) it just makes no sense to discriminate against any of this stuff.
These kinds of Reddit-esque comments are generally frowned upon, here.

It’s because the physical newspaper had a limit on how much could be printed. The internet gives them nearly limitless space. Also, it’s why long form journalism is running amok. If a magazine or newspaper printed a 10-15K article, there was a good reason. Now, editors forgot his to excuse all the fat that these writers are needlessly stuffing into their articles.
Did you mess up your math? 5% of 22,000,000 is not 4,400,000, it's 1,100,00.

Wow, just wow. Whoever made that decision is somebody who is truly worthy of the title "douchebag". How can any human being have so little regard for another? That's just disgusting.

There's a right way to handle a situation like this, and it goes something like:

Dear $EMPLOYEE:

We are very sorry to hear about your loss. All of us are wishing you the best in this time of need, and we are here to support you any way we can.

It's a small measure under the circumstances, but we just wanted to let you know that we've extended your leave to 12 weeks. If you need more time, just let us know. Rest assured, your job will be waiting for you when you return, and we'll all be thrilled to see you when you're ready.

We've also send you a special one-time bonus of $10,000, to help with any additional expenses that result from this situation. This will be deposited as part of your next paycheck.

If there's anything else we can do for you, just let us know.

Yes you can. See this page for example: https://gildas-lormeau.github.io/ (check the source code of the page if you're curious). It was saved with SingleFileZ and is served via a HTTP server. Note that you don't need any extension to view it in modern browsers.

On paper, you could even store an entire website in a SingleFileZ file. It just need to be implemented...
These kind of comments make me sad. Yes,there are some people who made themselves extremely rich by exploiting their political connections, using dodgy deals with criminal world and etc. However,most made their money in legal ways working their socks off to make it work. Those may not be the usual zillionaires,but they are pretty rich. This is like saying that everyone in the US live like those in Bel Air.
When do you drop the old e.g. columns and tables that are no longer in use though? You schedule it for say a week later when you're sure you won't need to roll back that far?
I dont understand all the fuss. If I want to send encrypted email I will send it. By pasting encrypted data, adding them to attachment, use stenography... Whatever. The "terrorists", "pedophiles", "drug lords", "whoever is the latest excuse for breaking privacy" could communicate like that since forever. On irc networks, mails, whatever chat program or in-game chat. There is literally nothing you can do against that you couldn't do regardless of end-to-end encryption. And if those are high profile targets they have $$$ to pay security expert for consulting.

This war against end-to-end encryption is a complete nonsense and is meant as a control for general public as anyone who doesnt want to be spied on can and will take actions against.
based on the original comment you were responding to, I assumed you were arguing in favor of software controls. my apologies, I should have read your post more carefully.
I agree completely. These efforts to "break" end-to-end encryption seem entirely ineffectual so long as open source alternatives exist - they are plenty and well proliferated. Banning the use of unapproved software is impractical, like asking everyone to turn in guns. So what's really their end game?
As father to the best 8 month young man in the world I can't imagine even for a moment what that is like. I never ever comment on hacker news, I just wanted to say I'm deeply sorry anyone here may have lost their child.

I accept bug reports both via email and via Github.

I do get bug reports via email that nobody had previously reported to Github. So it's definitely a win.

But bug reports via email are still rare.

I once shipped a version of my app that had a really serious issue (text editor crashed whenever you pressed backspace). From automatic crash reports, I know that hundreds of people were affected. My app was practically useless.

But I only got a handful of bug reports (I think it was less than 5 customers who complained). The vast majority of users just accepted that there is a bug and did not realise that they could email me and I would fix the issue within a few hours)
A decade of working in Bay Area tech meant watching kids of rich parents get rich off dubious business plans by creating a startup in San Francisco while their parents buy them a house, pay their expenses and tap into their networks for seed funding all the while the company loses money for over a decade while they become millionaires from selling shares during rounds of fundraising. Then I go for the big guy where they are profitable, but then we are chasing the quarterly earning report because we are scared of what Jim Cramer will say about us instead of the everyday impact on the people who use our products. Yeah, I'm disillusioned with it all. I just want to practice my craft to build useful software for people and live a nice life.

I am sure that rapid charging is a great thing, but we also need batteries to perform better under all weather conditions.

(Edit: typo.)
We've been using it for about a year in production across four projects and it's been a major boon for productivity because it allows our frontend developers to do simple backend features on their own. I think there are a lot of use cases where it would be a great fit for many projects and there are I'm sure a lot of companies that could save a lot of time by using it as part of their toolkit.

Also it doesn't have to be all or nothing. For example, there might be an API endpoint needed where there are multiple mutations needed inside a transaction but we just route between that custom backend and postgrest using nginx.

Other things we use:

- dbmate for migrations: https://github.com/amacneil/dbmate

- postgrest-client, a library I developed for constructing type-safe queries to Postgrest in Elm: https://github.com/alex-tan/postgrest-client

That's not random testing since they have to establish cause, as that Reddit comment explains. Of course the Police may ask and many people will not know that they are not compelled to accept without cause, or they don't want to argue.
