The system they’re talking about appears to be the TRW RW-400, the programmer’s manual of which happens to be on Bitsavers[1].

Checkm8 iCloud Bypass Software Review (2020)
Our room in Planet Hollywood got searched last year.
I tend to agree although there are a lot of factors at play.

-- Obviously, the overall employment situation, in tech, in the Bay Area, and elsewhere. Unemployed people who don't otherwise have roots in the Bay Area aren't going to hang around and pay current rents there.

-- The degree to which companies relax WFH policies but still want employees to come in on a semi-regular basis.

-- The degree to which other companies decide that it doesn't matter where at least some employees live so long as they're available for video calls and other synchronous communications during regular working hours. (And what the salary impact is for those who don't live in higher CoL areas.)

-- Anecdotally, at least in public, a lot of execs in "tech" and elsewhere seem to be a lot more open to at least partial remote work.

Is ES5 really that bad that nobody can stand it?
They can still be the top level app for all of that. They just bought shares in Lime.
The C level will instruct the managers to work in the office, then the brown nosers will follow, then everyone else will feel the need to ensure the brown nosers aren't given a leg up over them.
tl;dr: I've invested in uber so I'm going to give 4 paragraphs of bullish TA.
Sure, it's definitely an argument in favor of lockdowns — and I don't necessarily disagree with that.

What I disagree with is the argument that even entertaining the counterargument (that the deaths are some how "worth it") is tantamount to daylight murder. We have the right to entertain that tradeoff, and we also have the right to exercise it if society decides to.
There is no line, and there is no reason to choose between lobbying Amazon and lobbying politicians. People can do more than one thing!

We're focusing on Amazon right now because we're in an HN thread about Amazon. I'm not going into the Intel and Uber threads and telling folks they're wasting their energy because Bezos is so much more punchable.
You are legally correct but morally quite wrong, any employer is obliged to provide a safe workplace, not taking this serious leaving the employee no other option but to announce they were going home was the first fault.

I'm not even sure if you pushed this hard enough as a wrongful termination that it wouldn't stick.
> I've been wanting a good way to learn networking

1) Do you learn best by reading books, following tutorials, or watching videos?

2) What programming language do you know best / second best?

Happy to dig up a couple sources for you if you limit the scope a bit via the two questions above.
Is there an API for that?
I wish more companies could be this rational.

My partner’s team has been almost fully remote for two months, delivered all their work on time, but is expected to be back in the office June 1st because a higher-up wants an in-person meeting. There’s no other reason. It’s absurd.
Which models on COVID are you referring to that are horribly wrong?

Also curious why you think the US was so badly effected compared to say south korea or thailand?

Do you think it would be safe for everyone to go back to relative normal? What would your prediction of the effect be? What data would you trust to validate that prediction?

I'm asking out of genuine curiosity how someone who I'm assuming is well meaning can get to this position. I'm happy enough to be convinced if your prediction turns out correct as there will be plenty of different states that are going to do a variety of strategies.
Indeed, very impressive. And Silicon Valley is quite a powerhouse of wealth creation. But the point still stands.
Down for me..
This is not the way to look at it. Software engineering and content writing are not even close to being similar in any sense. You don’t need cultural context to write good software
That’s still a metaphor; how processes actually occupy space isn’t relevant to the distinction. If the backend is running on a laptop right in front of you, it’s still a backend. The frontend is probably on the same machine, nether in front of or behind the backend “really.” But we see the frontend’s display, just like we see things that are in front of other things (and not things that are behind other things,) thus the metaphor.
risk of death from c19 is, in all age groups, the same-or-lower than the general risk of death, ie., trivial.

The mean age of death from c19 is 80, and even in this group they die at a rate of 1%/wk anyway, for which c19 is about as deadly.

This isnt WWII
Contrast ratio of 3.06:1, fails WCAG. I'd call that pretty dire.
That's a false dichotomy. You can do both. The problem with relying only on commit messages, is that someone examining the code does not see it. You need to dig through the history. People don't do that nearly as often as reading the code.

But if you leave a comment with what the issue is, and add a reference to the commit message, you've got the best of both worlds.
Except then you trust Amazon and Intel, not just Amazon (presuming you run on x86). The nice thing about SGX is that you don't need to trust the whole cloud provider software stack.
I disagree. If my office was open I would love to go in only if no one else was there. The benefit I get from an office is having a place designated for work. No people = no distractions
Clearly downward? If you don't have to work at an office in the Bay Area why would you continue paying $3K/mo in Rent or praying your startup has a good exit so you can pay $1M cash for a starter house?
I've been trying to make Buckbee's Law happen for a while:

"The more a robot looks like a robot the less useful it is."

Take fast food as an example: what's really going to change things are automated systems that reduce the number of people needed to run the place. Look at things like touchscreen ordering systems that cut the number of people talking to you. That's not a "robot" but it is automation of a sort.
Incorrect, on both counts. Especially the latter, because morality isn't absolute. What you think is a moral right can be different from what I think is a moral right.
We've always been able to work remotely at our own discretion though.

Not totally the same - its worse.

The FCC licenses bandwidth, no one owns it.

The FCC can rezone, they generally then run an auction, keep lots of $$ for the govt, and kick some back to others if needed especially if they force folks like TV stations to move their station broadcasts.

Lightsquared 100% lied when they said they would use the spectrum to serve 100% of users with a sat service. That was a necessary process for the original transfer (like for like use).

And the value they are getting is huge. 40MHz of nationwide bandwidth. Easily worth 10Billion plus.

Be totally fine for FCC to rezone using a normal process, auction to normal business at fair market value, protecting or compensating existing users.
Wait what? That's called PGP. And people like to hate on it because it's a decentralized web of trust. The whole point of Keybase is to pave over the problems with web of trust by creating a social identity layer that more accurately reflects how trust relationships actually form.

An open source social identity attestation layer that people can operate and federate. Now that sounds cool!
Obviously companies can choose how they want monetize, that doesn't mean you are obligated to defend then when what they're doing is scummy it immoral.

Why deflect criticism.by saying "well you don't have to use their app now do you?"

When a person does something immoral rarely do people defend them by saying "well you don't have to engage with them now do you?

Why not debate the morality or legitimacy of the act in question rather than deflect try to deflect the criticisms?
Well, I wouldn't have invested if I weren't bullish. Also this isn't TA: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/technicalanalysis.asp
Perhaps they should hire engineers who have the explicit job of ripping out things that should not belong.
Drew is ethical, unlike the other two, and it seems very, very unlikely that will change. Have you seen his rants? He cares more about software freedom than most GNU contributors. He also has been contributing to free software for years as his main occupation, which is something that can't be said of the founders of the other two.

If Drew somehow has a complete change of personality and ethics, that's when it'll be "It's not GitHub, GitLab, or SourceHut." But as it is, he's basically the only trustworthy business-owner on this site.

He even reps a "competitor" that actually supports software freedom as well: Codeberg.

This is even harder than it sounds, for reasons good and bad.

If anyone is still bothering to follow the Constitution, the funds have to be distributed across the states, so you can't just give California only some funds.

It is also politically infeasible to give just California funds, most especially because a whole bunch of states don't want to pay for the other states.

Even if it gets passed that, this is the kind of spending that is virtually guaranteed to increase consumer price inflation, which is a far worse problem than state budget shortfalls.
This is going to be a long shot and will take years to get most websites on-board.

It won't be as well received as chrome's switch to preferring SSL/TLS, in my opinion.
Any particular reason why you chose Amazon as the company that should be paying for a public utility for some reason? What about Microsoft, Boeing, University of Washington... what's the criteria by which a company becomes responsible for public works in your mind?
Seen an anecdote saying we overestimate the impact of a technology over 5 years but underestimate it over 10 years. Seems relevant here
The author mentions "generate" as a metaphor for "ideas as products". I suppose "produce" would fall in the same category.

(Absurd, I know!)
At least 75k Americans died of a horrible respiratory disease in a little over a month with the country fully locked down and people are still arguing that it's not that bad because many of the cases don't end up in the hospital?
I think the catch is focusing on "Facebook scale" in terms of users on a social network. I am not aware of any YC companies at close to their scale (or potential to get there) without being ad driven, freemium or running on borrowed money.

Small social networks are fine for what they are and, I think, have much more flexible options for getting the bills paid.
I am with you here, it seems perfectly neutral question to me.

But this reminds me of a time when I went to movies with some younger family memeber and their friends. After the movie they asked each other if they loved the movie. To me love was really strong word. I wanted to say I liked it, not loved it but then I thought no need to be negative here. So I just said yes.

So when people ask did you like the movie, many people subconsciously say yes even if they disliked it.
Well then thanks for teeing-up my response :)

I definitely over-thought it at first, too.
They'll just send someone to your house this year ;)
I don't think they're that bold. The notion that congress is divided more strictly along sectarian lines today than the past is from this paper: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal... which measures a decrease in cross-party voting over the last few generations.

The "common truth" is a bit more subjective, but I've definitely noticed people in my extended social groups having fewer and fewer information sources in common, as well as a smaller and smaller set of common beliefs. I'm not the only person I've come across who's had this impression.
Learning basic *nix commands like sed, awk, and grep has helped me so much. I still frequently google/manpage them, but I often find myself thinking "I can do this with X in just a few seconds!"
Cleverness that hurts readability is not good. Sometimes you can do a lot in a single line without hurting readability (it may even be more readable), but sometimes there's indeed so much to unpack that it's better to show the steps.
Almost every fast website works with that speed for me. I'd like microsecond speed, but when there are websites which truly take 10+ seconds to fully load, 2 seconds is fine. I think that for me 5 seconds is when I'm getting a little bit worried about loading speed, less than 5 seconds is acceptable. Hacker news works only a little bit faster.

That said, I live in Kazakhstan and my typical ping to EU is 100 ms, so that might make my experience a little bit worse (it's 100 Mbps in theory). May be those who connect to those resources with 1 ms latency are getting much better typical experience, I don't know about that.
Cases are a difficult metric because there's a selection bias. Most places, including the US, does not have adequate testing. Especially for a virus we suspect a significant amount of people to show no symptoms. We're mostly testing those that are hospitalized.

Deaths, on the other hand, are easier (but not perfectly) to count because it is much more clear that someone has died. The symptoms are trivially obvious. The difficulty here is that there is no universal attribution (even within the US) as to what constitutes a covid death. Let's show a tricky example. Let's say an elderly patient had a stroke and are in the hospital. You THEN get infected and die. Did you die from the stroke or covid? Is this as deadly as a disease that kills a healthy 60 year old? How do we distinguish this?

I'm just trying to say that without context these simple comparisons can miss a lot of nuance of the reality of the situation. The thing here is that there are a significant number of variables at play and without discussing those variables you can get inaccurate results.
You'd think there was some seedy truth to the place but an ex of mine had family involved in the administration of the place and I've been there (both before I knew her and after). Quite a charming place in reality.

Though I'm told everything almost fell apart after a founder or big leader died and the government had to step in. It's the Indian government so usually that's a disaster but this one seems to have turned out okay.

Anyway, it's unlikely the website can handle an average company let alone HN so mirrors:

> 2. The e-mail based workflow is (in my opinion) superior; I don't have to use some clunky web interface.

Yeah but my email client can't show me nice diffs and let me comment on line numbers like GitLab/Hub can... Plus I

I don't really understand SH's decision not to support PRs, which seem fundamental to most workflows.

I think PRs are far superior than spamming up my inbox and using esoteric git email commands

To be fair, I've never actually tried an email-based workflow, but in my mind it involves a lot of emails and reply-alls and just general clutter and an absence of syntax highlighting, pinpoint line commenting, side-by-side diff and all the other nice things the GitLab/Hub provide with PRs.
hey dud3z, Tyler here from DO Security. If you respond to the note we sent you, we can share back specific details. In all but a small number of cases, it was the email address and name you entered for your DO account.

No. And "ES6" is itself a vague term. Browser support for features and syntax varies considerably and changes constantly.
Quite a few still don't. Check out findthemasks.com for a map of almost 4,000 institutions seeking donations in the US. We also list a number of countries worldwide.
Not clear at all. Effective WFH requires a bigger house, which would tend to favor remote areas. But partial WFH, where you're still in the office ~1 day/week on average, will push for _both_ larger and closer housing.
Git almost qualifies, but it has no automatic conflict resolution mechanism. Imagine how you would program a bank using git as a database. You would put each account balance in its own file and install a hook that checks that no money is created out of thin air. Commits are transactions. Everything kind of works, but how would you prevent double spends in such a system? Double spends are like divergent branches so presumably someone will need to step in and perform a merge. But this someone then becomes a point of centralization, thereby disqualifying git as a blockchain ;)
I think a small improvement may be to use an auto-complete text box instead of dropdown. The items in the dropbox aren't ordered so i can't jump to the game i'm interested in by typing.
Every now and then I look at thi. I enjoyed watching people coding now and then, I find its a good way to improve my set up when I am on a new technology.

That being said, I find it extremely difficult to find streams of people coding. Maybe that exist but I'd like something where I can pick a platform of programming language or type of dev. I know there are a few tags like this on switch but there are almost no results and some of them still look like people gaming.
It would be interesting to see how productive Google's employees are remotely vs. in-office.
The fact aside that you just brought up another platitude, actual data suggests that this is wrong. Automation is slow, has been getting slower as is clearly visible in labour productivity and employment statistics and there's really no indication of a large change in that trend.

Billions of dollars are invested annually in technologies with marginal productivity improvements, and it looks like there are more and more diminishing returns.

If there was any indication that automation would 'eat everything', unemployment would be high (corona-pandemic aside), and labour productivity would be growing fast, none of which is happening.

Robert Gordon gives an expansive, evidence-based account of the development of American economic development in The Rise and Fall of American Growth: The U.S. Standard of Living Since the Civil War, and there's virtually no evidence for the grandiose claims made by the tech industry that we're living in some sort of era of rapid change. That for the most part ended in the late 70s.
Because the world runs on merit, credibility, and risk reduction.

A student at a university has the credibility to be successful at the internship and potentially turn into a full-time hire. The university in essence has raised the bar of the candidates available to an employer by filtering them through their acceptance criteria. If you got into a really good school, you must have worked hard, had good grades, etc. The school has done the first step of the vetting process for the employer.

In addition, a formal education can be easily verified, and also reduces the overhead and risk for the employer having to train those employees.

If you're self-taught, and you can sell yourself as having the same skills and understanding of the field, then it should not be hard to get an internship. Unfortunately, the burden is on you to portray and sell yourself on your self-taught skills, rather than relying on the merit/prestige of a university and their acceptance process.

You also have to consider the population size of applicants. For every job/internship a self-taught person is applying, there's probably an order of magnitude more people with a formal education in that field. Statistically speaking, the employer is more likely to select a person with a formal education based on population size.
They're clearly OK with exposing themselves to strangers because that's the reason they're doing it. How does the number of strangers matter? If they were shy, they could have put their shirt on before going out in public.
mmm, the founder of Sourcehut is about as far from typical startup founder as you can get. He’d have to blow up his whole schtick if Sourcehut started down a ethically questionable path.
I feel like you've misunderstood the papers, and what the motivation behind them is. The argument isn't that Intel chips are more efficient, it is that these schemes simply don't require continuous computations.

As for the two schemes, you are correct about the first paper that it depends on the timeouts enforced by SGX. However, the second paper makes no such assumptions and doesn't even assume that the enclave is secure; all it relies on is the attestation service (which is remote).

You're overstating it. I gave up a dedicated space in my local office before all this. But I'd be happy to go in a day or two a week if there were good reasons to do so. But most of my team is very distributed and (during normal times) most of us travel a lot so there aren't going to be a lot of serendipitous encounters.

What is probably true is that those who thrive with office socializing and activities will find the norm at companies where coming into an office becomes more about having scheduled team meetings and collaborative work on specific days less pleasant than in the past.
What's being suggested is a temporary public health measure. Please point out where I suggested otherwise.

Again, I repeat temporary, public health measure, where criteria for lifting said measures are specified in advance. Your rights have no bearing on this. You have no right to endanger me or my family. You have no right to promote the spread of a disease that's already killed 60,000+ people. You have no right to force people back to work to be so endangered.
I have some personal items I'd like to collect from the office. A board game or three, a bottle of ink, headphones... But beyond that, I'll likely work from home until there's a vaccine and I've been vaccinated.

Time will tell though.
As someone not familiar with AI - I'm wondering if this is really as simple and revolutionary as the article states? MIT is kind of known for highly optimistic press releases that maybe oversell sometimes, which makes it hard to know what's actually a real breakthrough sometimes
