> Ad-blockers don't block first party advertising, either.

This isn't necessarily true. Some ad-blockers can be trained with CSS selectors that remove any visual element on the page.

Of course, like all ad-blocking, it's an arms race. Facebook already randomizes and obfuscates the names and IDs (and I think even the structure!) of their pages to prevent ad-blocking.
Getting a job works if you live in an area that has those jobs available. The currency that you get from these scams might also convert really well to the local currency, making it higher paying than a real job.

This Apple marketing meme needs to die. Reference counting incurs arguably more cost than GC, or at least the cost is spread through-out processing.

Energy can just as well be E = mgh (potential energy) or rotational energy E = 1/2Iw^2, or elastic energy E=1/2kx^2, chemical energy, nuclear energy etc. with momentum nowhere to be found in those formulas. When we talk about energy conservation we mean the conservation across all the forms of energy that the system can take on - that is what gets conserved.

It just happens that in one particular manifestation of the energy, the kinetic energy, can also be expressed with a squared momentum in the formula - but does not mean that momentum "is" energy by any interpretation.

As I said before momentum and energy are completely different concepts altogether - energy can be stored and transformed. Momentum cannot be stored nor can you transform a linear momentum into another kind of momentum.

If not convinced, consider for a moment (pun intended) that momentum is a vector and it conserves (in each dimension) as a vector! - whereas energy is a scalar and conserves as a scalar.

> Go is purpose-built for writing web services

Is this true? Go was built specifically for C++ developers, which, even when Go was first release, was a pretty unpopular language for writing web services (though maybe not at Google?). That a non-trivial number of Ruby/Python/Node developers switched was unexpected. (1)

> It does if it means a big ball o' hackage lands on the public working branch, since it complicates merges, backouts, cherrypicks, and bisects.

Rebase on a local working copy is normally used for cleaning up a string of commits that is messy and/or separating commits that mixed multiple logical changes together.

Local commit history before push is arbitrary. There’s nothing sacred that needs to be preserved about the exact order I typed things into each file, that’s not what I want from a version control system.

Personally, I haven’t really seen use of rebase complicating merges, reverts, cherry picks, or bisects. I can imagine ways it can happen, but I haven’t seen it be a problem in practice. However, I have seen cases where failing to rebase caused problems. Allowing build breakage between two commits is an example where bisect is affected, and squashing the fix into the first commit before push is much preferred.

So, anyway, your example feels totally contrived.

> How much time do you spend navigating the project’s history vs looking at the tip of the current branch?

This is a false dichotomy. I need both. I happen to navigate project history quite a lot, like multiple times per day. In addition to how I got here I usually need to know who changed it, so I can talk to them.
Ask HN: What's with the Plagiarized Resumes and Scams?
I work at a large financial services company. Recently I've been asked to review more resumes, which are are getting forwarded by our internal recruiters.

I started to get annoyed that 90% of the resumes were 5-10 pages long even for minimal experience and they always include a 1 page bulleted summary section. The summary is always generic, misspelled enterprise buzzword gobbledygook. One day I decided to google some of these bullet points. Surprise surprise, many are plagiarized verbatim. When I did this with every resume, I noticed 80% of them were plagiarized. I'm getting pissed at our recruiters now since we've told them repeatedly to screen for it.

We've also had really bad experiences when using video interviews. Several candidates appear to be including a hidden third party to help them, which is all too obvious because of their mannerisms and delays. I asked someone a trivia question about when a programming language was invented and by who and they had no idea until they answered it perfectly after 10 seconds.

I've even heard some horror stories about us hiring one person and then a totally different person somehow showing up. I don't understand the logic here. If you can't get hired with our admittedly low bar you probably can't do the job and will get fired quickly.

* Am I making too big a deal about this? The most charitable theory is perhaps a third party recruiter is adding crap or maybe the person just has poor written English. There's also a chance that the resume I'm looking at is the original and has been picked apart by others, but I find this doubtful. One of my googled summary lines led back to an internal 2009 email within HBGary (found on wikileaks)

* Is anyone else seeing these interview scams all the time?

* Lastly, I'm inspired to write an app that checks for plagiarism automatically since it's rather tedious for me. Sort of how they check your code for plagiarism in school. Would anyone else find this worthwhile?

> The most realistic one would be to save up all your money and apply for the eb5 investor visa. If you're making 6 figures, you should be able to save up the required million dollars in about 10-20 years, depending on how much you make, and how frugal you're willing to live.

I'm an early career engineer, and this is something that a few of my friends have looked into. The number was 500k when I started working 3 years ago. It's now 800k. It looks like how much ever I work, the number will increase faster than I can save, cause there will be more people like me. Unless I become sufficiently senior and comparatively rich like a VP, I can't realistically beat the trend.

> The other possibility is you marrying someone who isn't born in India. If you did that, you can use your partner's country of birth instead of your own, when waiting for the priority date. But obviously this isn't something you can plan for, and I wouldn't recommend letting this guide your life decisions.

This is true. Your tradeoff point hits the nail on the head. I have heard some cases of people feeling like they were married to just for the GC, and some from the other side who stand some abuse. But your broad point stands.

> The last option is progressing your career to the point where you can mount a realistic eb1 application. I've heard anecdotally that it's very hard, but not as hard as people may think it is. If you work at it over a 10-20 year time frame, it may be very realistic.

Need to progress outside the US though. Unless I become a Carmack/Jeff Dean/famous inventor, the logic of the law seems to suggest that if I could rise to this position here, then an American could too. That's why the EB-1 has an allocation for applicants who became managers outside the US and transferred in.

These aren't mutually exclusive things. The people working on Chrome were and are highly motivated, intelligent and passionate people, some of whom I call friends, who want to see the web become a better place. In that regard they have succeeded massively.

But by this point, Google has dropped billions of dollars on salaries for those developers to build Chrome (call it >500 devs, >$200k salaries, >10 years). Google is not a charity. They didn't build Chrome with the intent to lose money on it. Everything else Google made that wasn't profitable is gone now, and yet here Chrome stands. Because it is an indirect profit center.

And you've pointed out the real issue: Chrome was about freeing the world of a truly terrible web browser. 'Was'. But it did that! So what is it about now? Why would Google continue to pour money into it if they didn't expect to extract more money out of it in the future?

You can make the world better and make money while doing it. Ideally, that's what we all are doing.
An uber eats account with a generous daily limit, it's mostly awful but you asked for interesting.

You have to keep an eye on the delivery process as soon as you submit the order, instantly negating the supposed productivity benefit of staying in the office. Then you've got 8 people getting up to check the door every time the bell rings.

We've had every type of issue possible with the delivery drivers, they won't come up the elevator (you have to work past 4 cafe's to find them), they can't read a map (you have to meet them a city block away), they're late, they have the wrong order, they don't show up at all, etc.

The environmental cost of all that packaging plus the driver.

The desire to maximize your allowance and lack of dietary information hurts the waist-line.

1. I've never had to use PhantomData since I started coding in rust pretty much fulltime 2 years ago.
2. You can compare arrays longer than 32, but the compiler will no longer create an automatic comparison for you. So it's not that you "can't" do it. -- That said, using == to compare >32 elements sounds inefficient, perhaps check your use-case?

In my previous reply, I overlooked this sentence, which gets to the heart of the misunderstanding:

> It's simply not _enough_ to say that it's purely angle-of-attack or geometry, and it's definitely not enough to say it's just pressure difference caused by Bernoulli, it's _both at once_.

Given a situation where Bernoulli is applicable (steady-state flow and inignificant compressibility effects), if you were to measure the airflow velocity and pressure fields around the wing, you would find both that they conform to Bernoulli, and that the pressure summed over the whole wing would account for the entirety of its lift.

Alternatively, if you were to calculate the rate of change of momentum of the entire airflow affected by the wing, you would find that this also accounts for the entirety of its lift. This works even in those cases where Bernoulli is not applicable.

So we have two different approaches to calculating the lift, and summing them would give the wrong answer.

Both approaches can themselves be explained in more fundamental terms, and in both cases, it comes down to Newtonian mechanics.

Neither approach allows us to calculate what the airflow looks like and how the presence of the wing shapes it, so neither approach offers a complete explanation. For that, we need Navier-Stokes, which is also reducible to Newtonian mechanics.

What's wrong with many attempted explanations of lift, by either principle, is that they don't get the details right: they try to simplify the issues to the point where they are simply wrong.

Why haven't the Alexa's of the world filled suit against Amazon over appropriating the name? They locked up the name once they selected it as the name the Echo uses. Seems to me that this is a class-action suit waiting to happen.

I had a similar issue. As a teen, a commercial used my name as part of their pitch. Within a few weeks of it running on television, I had people, kids and adults, repeating the commercial's key lines to me. It was cute once or twice but it quickly grew tiresome and irritating. People just don't understand how irritating it becomes. I was lucky since the commercial finally stopped running.

All the poor people that are named Alexa must be going nuts. I truly sympathize.

Reading this critical Mao biography now: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0679746323/

Only about 1/6 in, but Mao's lust for killing and torture is well documented. He also had an advantage rising to power in the party since he had no problem killing other communists, while most of them only killed for the cause, not for themselves.

It's a historical fact that he's responsible for more deaths (50m-70m) than both Hitler and Stalin. And that's his own citizens, in peacetime.

Still, did he think of himself as a good man doing good things? I'd say probably. That's how almost everyone sees themselves. When they lie to others, it's often because they've told the same lie to themselves first.

You're right, I have not used CouchDB, but from my understanding it shines on unstructured data, where you might need to store slightly different things from different places.

But in a voting application structuring the data is actually very very helpful, it keeps bad data out, and helps with auditing.
That isn't a downside of L.E. though because HTTPS by itself was never meant to imply trust in the site, and any notions to that effect should rightly be dispelled. Sounds more like a benefit of LetsEncrypt if it brought more awareness to this.

And FWIW the EV cert that sites like AirBNB buy cost in the range of $500. The cost isn't what makes it prohibitive, though, but instead it's the corporate and personal identity that they (should) do as a part of the process.
The fact that domain verified TLS/SSL is possible for free now, compared to a token payment of $7, doesn't change the fact that domain-verified SSL has never been, and should never be a verification of legitimate corporate identity.

Yes there is. Suction on upper surface to maintain attached flow -> lower pressure -> increased speed to conserve momentum. Bernoulli's relationship holds true along a streamline, equal transit time doesn't.
The Craigslist ad is still up (or up again): https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/apa/d/berkeley-two-story-3b...

The house appears to exist as pictured at the claimed address on Google maps. Oddly, although Jeffrey's emails about the place were from a couple weeks ago, this current ad says "Posted a day ago". It also says "Call Laurence", although as before there is no phone number.

Personally, I'm still not completely sure this is exactly the scam that is being described. I'm wondering if there might be another layer here --- maybe someone who took over an existing Craigslist ad? It does seem very well crafted for a plain rental scam.

Edit: There is also a listing for the same house with same pictures on VRBO with 172 positive reviews: https://www.vrbo.com/564881. Given all the reviews, I presume that one is the real one. Maybe the Craigslist ad is a just a straight copy of this?

Edit 2: Ooh, I wonder if the reason that the scammer is willing to meet people at the property from February 14th to 16th is that he has it reserved for those dates from VRBO. Might be interesting to cross-reference.

The very first email from the "landlord" would tell me it was a scam. Maybe it's just because I've been doing things on the internet from before the web was a thing, but that's a pretty obvious scam.

I think it is relevant to note this proof is based on the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations. Real fluids are compressible. From the point of view of kinetic theory, even the compressible Navier--Stokes equations are only a first-order approximation to the Boltzmann equation. Further, many authors (including myself) have questioned whether the Chapman--Enskog approximation is justifiable for high Reynolds number flows. Certainly it is known that NS does not correctly describe shock flows, which are also high Reynolds number flows. I would say these papers represent an interesting mathematical exercise whose relevance to the physics of turbulence remains to be assessed.

Nonetheless, their Business As Usual model from 1972 is eerily accurate and it applies to more than just climate. This study https://sustainable.unimelb.edu.au/publications/research-pap... tracked predictions to 2014 and the Business As Usual model continues with reasonable accuracy.
