welch's shitty leadership is beside the point, he was doing what the group think of short term profiteering wall street wanted.

h8 the player not the game. wall street and our political system is the problem, not a lone bullshit artist.

also he was a handsome man, so cut him some damn slack. after all . he is dead. forever part of the ethos. what is there to really learn from one piece of art?
Golang, Lambda and Local development – state of 2020
When it's innocuous, such as Google thinking I'm interested in _women's_ fashion and showing me ads for women's clothing sites since I've indicated an interest in fashionable clothing, it's not a bad thing(this is actually what happens!). But imagine if Google's profile of me indicated an interest in something dark like fascism or racism, and they sold that data on which later resulted in me losing job opportunities or credit. That would be a really bad thing, because their highly inaccurate algorithm had a negative impact on my life.

The slippery slope is slippery because there are a lot of downward steps, not because there's one big step. Companies already buy your credit score and financials before deciding whether to hire you. Imagine if they bought your entire Google profile and used that too? It's about as accurate as a personality test and there's no way to dispute it.

It's worse than Social Credit Scores because Google doesn't even admit they have these profiles of you, yet they sell the data as accurate.

I've seen this repeated elsewhere, but what I really want to know is the % of plastics sent for recycling actually being recycled. Anything that wasn't turned in for recycling just doesn't count here, in my opinion.

otherwordly and vampiric is how the elves in Discworld[0] are portrayed, with the "obvious" explanation that people now remember them differently as words have changed meaning over time.

> Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder. Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels. Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies. Elves are glamorous. They project glamour. Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment. Elves are terrific. They beget terror. The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning. No one ever said elves are nice. Elves are bad.

Ask HN: What do you do with downtime at work?

The problem isn't his choice of audience, but his choice of message.
I've always thought that google had a conflicting business model - on the one hand search brings people in, but on the other it competes with ads. The better the search, the less useful the ads. Given this, google might be indirectly incentivized to only have search good enough to be better than competition, but not the best. Not saying they're actively doing that, but seems like something.

In the case that someone has any trouble configuring WireGuard, I would like to share my automatic deployment of WireGuard and Unbound with full IPv4 and IPv6 support with Packer and Terraform in Hetzner Cloud (although it can be easily adapted to other providers) [1].

In the case that no automatic deployment is necessary, it may also be useful to look directly at the WireGuard configuration [2]. Since WireGuard supports scripts in "PostUp" and "PostDown", I have automated the configuration of iptables, including some useful rules to redirect 53/UDP port traffic from the public interface to WireGuard, which helps in some cases to bypass some firewalls.

newline (formerly Fullstack.io) | Book author | Remote | Part Time | https://www.newline.co/write-a-book Earn on order of $50k/year by writing a programming book. We’re the authors of Fullstack React, ng-book, Fullstack Vue and we’re looking to work with authors like you to write a few new books this year. Our books sell very well because: - We go way beyond API docs and teach everything you need to know to build real apps. - We guarantee the books and code are up to date.
- We invest in marketing the books (and have an active email list of over 100k)

- We love the topics we write about and aim to create something remarkable every time.

If you decided to self-publish, you may find the marketing is more than writing the book. We have an audience, and we know what they want to read - so when your book is done, we already have people who want to buy it.

If you decide to go with a “traditional” publisher, you may be given a mediocre editor, write your book in MS Word (ha), and earn 5-15% in royalties. With us, our editors (me) are programmers first, our tooling is dev-friendly, and our royalties are split 50/50. (For scale, the author of Fullstack Vue earned $20k on the opening weekend, Fullstack D3 even more.)

We’re looking to write content about JavaScript, Building Full-stack web apps, ASP.NET Core, Serverless, Python, Kubernetes, Elixir, Blazor etc. Anything up and coming.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, fill out the form linked below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

>>>I'm impressed by the Norwegian health authorities' response thus far, and society's receptability
There needs to be a cap on lawyers fees. This is what is causing a lot of unnecessary litigation.
I would agree, but that's not a feature available by default on most (any?) keyboards. You'd have to enable it via driver software.

Since we're looking at competitive typists (what a world, eh?), they're probably not allowed such things when being measured.
A vote by mail loses the guarantee of secrecy (someone could check your mail and ensure 'consequences' for your vote, or even for voting in general), safety (someone could have coerced your vote, and because it was by mail they could verify 'your' vote was what they decided it to be), intelligent decision making (a mailed vote is mailed in advance, something could have changed by election day. This actually happens quite often, especially in primaries) and election integrity (someone in the mail could have messed with your vote).

Mailed votes are just a bad idea. The simpler and better solution is to have the US federal elections run by a federal non-political commission + a federal voting holiday. Disabled people could use mobile election vans and/or a proxy-vote system like in the UK but limited to them (very imperfect; but safer than a mailed vote, since the proxy's vote is still secret).
You're making a lot of good points. I see that what I had in mind is probably not worth pursuing. At least the current rules are consistent and not too hard to understand.
Thanks for the excellent write-up.

Probably not as cache-friendly, but did you, at any point, evaluate Radix Tree [0] or Patricia Trie / CritBit Tree [1][2] as an underlying data-structure for the hash-table? These also compact nicely into one of the many succinct data-structures [3][4].

Radix Tree, in particular, seems to work really well for IPs from what I've read [5].

Right. Why can't Microsoft just respect _nomap as well as _optout? It's clear what the user's intent is. Also, according to the article, Google requires _nomap to be at the end. Apparently Microsoft doesn't require the same for _optout, but what if they did?

You say that you have a dog? Yes, a villain of a one, said Clesippus. And he has puppies? Yes,and they are very like himself. And the dog is the father of them? Yes, he said, I certainly saw him and the mother of the puppies come together. And is he not yours? To be sure he is. Then he is a father, and he is yours; ergo, he is your father, and the puppies are your brothers.
So you moved away from Apple because they implemented a software fix to prevent your phone from crashing when the hardware eventually degrades? Sounds like a kneejerk reaction based on misleading headlines.

I agree that the number of games compared to established platforms is small.

But what can you expect? This is a new entrant, all the new platforms faced similar issues. Some overcome it, some didn't, we'll see how it goes here. For what I know, Google already invested a lot and has deep pockets.

> The problem is that there was a narrative for years that Apple was intentionally slowing down older phones with software updates, but there wasn't any proof.

Except that is not what they were doing. There is a huge difference between pushing out updates around the time of a new phone release to push users onto the new phones (what people proposed Apple was doing) compared to slowing down your phone so it stays usable after its battery becomes unable to support the factory level of performance. I would say Apple was doing the opposite of what people suggested since slowing the phones down made them usable for a longer period of time.
Why not notify people their battery was old and had to be replaced, and then slow the phone down? I think that's the bit people are upset about. Given a choice between a new phone or a battery replacement, many more people would have gone for the replacement, if they knew it would restore the performance of their device.
Okay, so what does that have to do with Kotlin being an even worse choice I
There are still 70x69/2 connections going on under the hood. You can't completely ignore that complexity - if there are underlying connectivity issues, specific host-host traffic will fail (eg due to NAT).

My wireguard setup actually has n x (n-1) config files/instances (current n=8), as that's the only way to shuffle default-gateways over it. It's a little unwieldy, but still manageable. Whereas I can't imagine doing the same with OpenVPN.
It seems very strange to attack Coke and Pepsi for this. Shouldn't the target be recycling programs that claim to be recycling plastic bottles, but actually don't?

And the constant fear of being in the bottom 10% doesn't create destructive behaviours like credit stealing, passing on failures dressed up as successes, and actively sabotaging competing projects or people.

ie you risk ending up with an internal hunger games when in reality you should all be working together against the external opposition.

If you want to get rid of the 'dead wood' then there are much better ways that don't create such negative effects on both the company and the people.

A smarter way to do this, is to have a probationary period on initial recruitment to check either of you haven't made a mistake, and the occasional reorg to which gives the opportunity for managers to remove consistently poor performers over a longer time period - ideally into a better suited role in the same org.

Finally, if his method worked, you'd expect the distribution of performance to narrow over time to the point where you reach steady state where who is in the bottom 10% is essentially random noise on a tight distribution.

Assuming he wasn't that dim, then he could of only intentionally created it to create a climate of fear because he believed that was the best way to motivate people.

It's certainly the easiest.
