No idea. It is probably not anywhere near the number of salaried employees who bully local governments into passing wage laws they will never experience the unintended consequences of. Yet somehow they still feel entitled to decide for other people what working arrangements they should be allowed to make for themselves.
Could all or nearly all discrete maths is just matrix manipulation in disguise, if the function is closed in discrete number?
With location services, should be simple to detect this occurring. The apps could do something about it, if they wanted.
I don't think jobs will disappear or be created, because of covid-19. I do see a few shifts though.
There is a trend towards isolation on a macro and micro level. So it is clear that the US of 2020 is moving in a isolationist direction. I mean it was one of the reasons why Trump was voted in by a large percentage of Americans. Other countries too, focus on the inside and not on the outside. Look at the countries of the European Union. Borders went up, each country cared only about itself. But also on a smaller scale, the trend towards work from home, quarantine projects is some form of isolation (quite literally for a lot of people). I don't think this will go away after a vaccine is found. So jobs that can see an uptick is everything remote. Maybe a remote worker manager job will emerge. Support for remote workers. Deliveries and home office suppliers.
Second move is going to see a constriction of spending. At some point there will be less money to go around. This is probably not going to affect real luxury too much. Lamborghini salesmen will be ok, I think. But the affordable luxury segment is gonna suffer. I mean basically all luxury brands sold in a mall. So Tiffanies, or Bulgari sales person will be hit hard.
Pedantically, that wouldn’t be arbitrage, it’d just be fraud. Arbitrage would involve exploiting differences in price for the same good/commodity, i.e. not substituting a different item...
So we’re to believe it’s actually reversy, and those suffering financial damage from the shutdown actually love it, and the unfortunate WFH cohort are begging to shove their PJs back into the closet and drudge back to the office?
Wonder linear algebra is more useful.
Who gets to decide what’s on the test? Also, what languages would it be available in? Seems hopelessly fraught (and likely illegal).

Because we do not know what consciousness is, it is not reasonable discuss if electrons have or have not something we do not understand at all.
FWIW, your take on whether feudalism was a good arrangement for serfs goes counter to basically every historian I've ever come across. The second sentence of the Wikipedia page on Serfdom describes it as "a condition of debt bondage or indentured servitude". Then it goes on to describe that serfs "could be bought, sold, or traded", but mostly only along with the land they were tied to. Further on, it describes that a free person become a serf "usually through force or necessity".
Spot on, Deven.

At the moment, I use an RSS service[0] and reader[1] fed with almost 20 years worth of gleaned feeds to accomplish much the same thing.

The collection grew to such an extent that I had to categorize the feeds, with the most interesting/generally low volume in a "daily" category (the idea for which I stole from Slow Feeds[2] (now known as Web Subscriber[3])).

But a dedicated search engine for handcrafted content would be awesome.

EDIT: I saw https://wiby.me mentioned in a recent HN comment. The About page[4] states in part, "The Wiby search engine is building a web of pages as it was in the earlier days of the internet."

The Wikipedia article you linked lists GDP in millions, not in 1000's.
Humans are unique in evolving recursive language. Consciousness is a recursive agent: observe me observing the world, several layers deep. Likely the exact same mutation / brain structure backs both mechanisms.

Neither electrons, nor the Universe, are recursive agents. Maybe some of the Devil's apprentices playing with reinforcement learning AI will inadvertently create a non-human consciousness, but other than that, humans are special.

The problem is that there's no way to explicitly say you want "en-US". If you're in a non-English speaking country and your Accept-Language is "en-US" then you're going to get the "local" language.

To make matters worse, Google uses ccTLDs for everywhere except the US. google.us just redirects to google.com, and google.com uses your IP to figure out your country, so you can't even use the domain as a workaround.
It may be true that people are partially looking back in rose-tinted glasses, but there's more than just an inkling of truth to their side. Casey Muratori (game developer for the Witness) has a really good rant [1] about bloat in Visual Studio specifically, where he demonstrates load times & the debugger UI updating today vs on an Pentium 4 running XP. Whether or not you attribute the performance difference to new features in Win10/VS, it's worth considering the fact that workflows are still being impacted so significantly on modern hardware. We were able to extract 100s of times more out of hardware and gave it up for ???

I think part of it might be that he's a really high energy kind of person, working 12-18 hour days everyday. Being forced to stay quarantined, to stop his life's work, probably drives him insane. He really wants to progress on his projects, which he considers to be very important for the future of mankind (which, let's face it, they could be).

Besides that, he's a contrarian. With COVID, we're faced with a situation where there is an extremely strong pressure to conform. There's one narrative being pushed and there's no real dialogue. Elon has a contrarian narrative: our basic human rights have been taken away (freedom of movement, etc) in the name of the greater collective good. He argues that people should be given the tools to help protect themselves but that the government should leave it up to individuals to decide how they manage this.

I tend to agree with him. We're told a vaccine could be two years away (or may never come). The fatality rate in my age group is about the same as the flu. I happen to be single, and at the moment, where I'm living, if I have a date with someone, I could technically be fined $1500 (and there have been a few reports of people going on tinder dates who have been). Since when has it been the government's business to legislate in these sorts of matters? I have been making efforts to socially isolate, but it's pushed me into a depression, I started taking antidepressants a month ago. I know two of my friends have done the same.
I can fault multiple entities. I don't trust the State of California to be making the right calls here, why should I? Tesla just demonstrated with the County of Alameda that they will flout laws and the authorities will let them get away with it. I blame Tesla for their part in this erosion of responsibility as well.
It's probably getting downvoted because it's not actually relevant. I'm not sure why there are so many comments here talking about refusing to interview or "rejecting" recruiter advances. The OP was very specific in wanting to hear from people who rejected an offer for another offer.

Instead a lot of these comments are from people who seem to have an axe to grind against the companies themselves. It's fine to have ethical or practical disagreements with FAANG companies, but it's not relevant to the OP's question about why someone would go as far as receiving an offer and then decline to accept it.
*didn’t
This just isn’t true. Only one state in the 2020 primaries showed increased turnout among young voters, Iowa, while big states like New Hampshire and Michigan saw sizable declines[0].

There was just no way that a candidate like Bernie Sanders was going to overcome the momentum of the DNC without huge turnout, which never materialized. If the citizens don’t vote, we’re gonna be stuck with people who’ve amassed political power and likely done some terrible stuff along the way in their personal lives. Participation is critical, and mass movements have taken hold many times in American history. The issue facing us now is figuring out how to overcome the passive entertainment that is social media and traditional media and actually participate in the political process.

God yes.. in particular Google is horrible with this. They have the interface language and the search language as different setting, both default to German if you're in Germany. Have you tried using German google? It's abysmal. Try googling for Any piece of open source Software. You'll end up at a third party clickbait website that offers an infested download (often chip.de). That's why many Germans end up with horribly infected PCs.
Something just doesn’t make sense with this story. Ok, it’s possible doordash has accidentally mispriced a pizza. But why would they misprice a pizza but then pay the correct price to the restaurant?
All true, but not anywhere in line with your previous claim:

>In some jurisdictions there may be 1000s of non-voting registered voters who have moved away, died, or never voted at all (automatically registered voters, etc.)

The database you mentioned consists of a grand total of 1,285 proven instances of voter fraud over 4 years. Nearly all of them are for single individuals voting twice, usually by submitting a absentee ballot, then voting in-person. There are vanishingly few instances of someone manipulating an election on a significant scale, by tens or hundreds of votes.

So which is it? Are there thousands of instances in multiple jurisdictions per election that we've completely failed to detect, or just a few thousand nation-wide over multiple elections and four years?
I've definitely noticed the same on IntelliJ but weirdly enough Eclipse feels just fine. IIRC both are written in Java, so maybe it comes down to the design of IntelliJ moreso than the limitations of the JVM?

Systemic bias, aka a cultural view? You don't quite get fox news levels of opinion on your news feed, but every outlet has it's roots in a particular worldview.
What good would accessing the API do without a Mac? If you are suggesting that you need a Mac to even write code that interacts with it then I would be shocked to find out that is true. Also, how would you even build something for the Cocoa API without a Mac?

Libui works on multiple platforms with native UI. QT, GTK and Fyne work around this each in their own way. Fyne is a very interesting solution as it just renders everything in OpenGL.

At first I didn’t like Fyne but from a visual standpoint but after switching to the light theme it has really grown on me. And the cross platform bugs I used to get with libui are pretty much non existent. It is so much simpler to support one rendering engine that all of the platforms support vs multiple implementations of the same thing. It might work for simple apps but the platform specific quirks start adding up and it becomes a maintenance headache. After switching to Fyne I’ve been very happy.

There is no capitalism. First it is an old idea before pubic goods like knowledge and IT comes dominant.

There were always idiots writing buggy code. The issues you mention are about “old software” on “old hardware”. GP is only talking about “old style of software development”. Granted Qt, X, Win API is unnecessarily complicated.
This is a good question that I’d like answered.
That means when we die we just slip into someone else and never really even know it because we have all their memories and experiences up to that point in time. Perhaps this process even happens all the time as we lose consciousness and regain it. Our bodies are merely antennas for tuning into the vast universal consciousness. Madness.

The takeaway from this for me is to be kind to any living thing as it could be you.
Don't use Kubernetes unless you Know you need it.
For the time being, many of those worst off are receiving a raise by being unemployed, and still have confidence that their jobs will be there when things begin to recover. And why would you assume it's people trying to go back to the office, have you not watched any of the people protesting the lockdown? They want OTHER people back at work so they can consume things.
To be fair that's high schools and elementary schools. They're a different risk category, yet lower than colleges. College are really low risk too, though I haven't seen anything to indicate spread would be slow in a college setting.
> Most Americans don't understand how it works either.

When I dislocated my jaw and went to an in-network ER for treatment (it popped back in as I was sitting on the bed), I wasn't surprised to get a call from a collections agency regarding bills I never received from an "out of network" shell corporation for "consulting physicians" (never even saw a doctor, only a nurse), but I definitely didn't see it coming.

Count me an average American, I guess.
I am building (at infancy stage, now), a subproduct at https://www.pagedash.com/ that behaves as a Reader. It won't be an RSS reader, but it will be an aggregator of websites / blogs in general.

Is it really even worth highlighting though? I use Telegram Desktop (Qt) daily and it is always, 100% of the time completely responsive. It launches basically instantly the second I click the icon and the UI never hangs or lags behind input to a noticeable degree. If we transitioned to a world where everyone was writing Qt instead of Electron apps we would already have a huge win.
Someone explain to me why the following combination of steps wouldn't solve all problems - for both content publishers, and RSS app creators.

Content publishers: Update the RSS feed generator to include the ads associated with the post. Write tools for dynamic ad insertion that actually updates the syndicated feed.

RSS App creators: Build ad networks that work with both ad buyers and content creators to match content-relevant ads, and either replace the dynamic in-post ads (and share revenue), or add additional intra-post ads.

Someone explain to me why this couldn't work with the existing technology stack - no new protocol, or client-side changes required.
Some background -

In my past life I started Crazymenu.com The idea initially started as a central place to host all the restaurant menus with the idea of eventually expanding it to SAAS tech layer for everything restaurant related. The idea ultimately pivoted into google maps for restaurant menus. Meaning companies would just pay me a service fee to incorporate these menus into their services (ordering food, review sites, restaurant apps, etc.)

I self-funded the idea and after my first beta launch (2006, I believe) I was pitching an angle investor (Mr. X) who years later became an early investor in Doordash.

Right away, Mr. X said why not go into online food ordering business and then may be do delivery, etc. I never liked the idea of dealing with all the transaction headaches and told him I wasn't sure about the idea and dealing with so many fragmented restaurant softwares. From what I could gather attending a few National Restaurant Association events in Chicago and speaking with lots of restaurant owners, I noticed two categories. Very small mom and pop operations, or small medium chains. All the small to medium chains already had invested into some technology layer (some were closed off) and unless you could integrate with them, there was no interest to working with you and the smaller mom pop entities were either too busy or they were so bombarded by all types of tech solution offerings that they didn't want to listen to you.

Years later when Mr. X had invested in Doordash I had private chat with him.

I told him in my opinion, restaurant delivery is restaurant business. Meaning that it'll be very hard to compete. On top of one huge exception. You never crave DoorDash, you crave pizza or burger or Chinese food.

When the OP says Dominos figured out the model as did lots of family owned Chinese restaurants. I can understand that.

I believe this is a very vertical business. For one thing it's mostly around the brand, and the brand experience. This is the same reason Starbucks avoided franchising (if you think about it, DoorDash is a bit like franchising a delivery business) as did In-N-Out. These smart people had already figured out the nature of building a food brand experience.

Getting a cold food, soggy pizza destroys the brand.

This is very different than Amazon or UPS delivering books. Because delivery of books or jackets doesn't impact the brand at the same level it does with food. Not to mention when you don't deal with risk of food getting cold you can really scale delivery by mastering routing and all the different things UPS can do with scale.

Ultimately, we either see a very vertical experience. Uber buying several popular food category chains (pizza, burgers, fried chicken, etc.) or the reverse, PEPSI's parent company buying UberEats/Grubhub or if there is a massive consolidations and Uber or Grubhub can charge in an economically sustainable way.
So now build out an experiment, see if you can play around with this filter device and see if you can find something clever. Step 2, invent something crazy, or start a cult. Good Luck!
Just to be clear, what Jackson is claiming to have developed is a new, better, electrolyte for aluminum air batteries. Aluminum air batteries themselves go back to the '60s. They have around 8 times the energy of a lithium ion battery of the same weight, or around 4 times the energy of a lithium ion battery of the same volume.

He seems to be doing better now on getting funding and interest [1].

I believe that the claims of 1500 miles in a Tesla Model S are based on the same volume. If you went for the same weight, you should be able to get an EV with something approaching 3000 miles.

That's enough that having to swap batteries when it gets low would be acceptable to many people, assuming it is reasonably quick. Jackson is claiming they could build swap stations that could do the job in 90 seconds, which if true is surely fast enough.

The discharged batteries can be recycled.

I believe I read somewhere that recycling the aluminum anodes from a discharged battery does take a lot of electricity, so you'd want to do that somewhere where electricity is cheap and green.

I will come at this from a different, philosophical perspective:

Web apps come from a tradition of engaging the user. This means (first order) to keep people using the app, often with user-hostile strategies: distraction, introducing friction, etc.

Native desktop apps come from a tradition of empowering the user. This means enabling the user to accomplish something faster, or with much higher quality. If your app distracts you or slows you down, it sucks. "Bicycle for the mind:" the bicycle is a pure tool of the rider.

The big idea of desktop apps - heck, of user operating systems at all - is that users can bring their knowledge from one app to another. But web apps don't participate in this ecosystem: they erode it. I try a basic task (say, Undo), and it doesn't work, because web apps are bad at Undo, and so I am less likely to try Undo again in any app.

A missing piece is a force establishing and evolving UI conventions. It is absurd that my desktop feels mostly like it did in 1984. Apple is trying new stuff, but focusing on iPad (e.g. cursors); we'll have to see if they're right about it.
I suggest you stop supporting nautil.us. Look at the bafflingly low quality of this article. Is it coincidence that nautilus articles like these frontpage once a weekend? Is it an organic submission? Or something else? This is like a throwaway class paper (which, given how nautilus sources, may very well be).

Nice write-up. I've long believed that malloc(4192) == mmap() is a very bad idea for this reason -- in fact, let your heap get giant pages, damn it. Also, fork() turns out to be pretty evil. fork() is OK when you're forking worker processes very early in a daemon's life, but for most other uses it's just a very bad idea -- use vfork() or posix_spawn() instead.

There are just too many problems with fork(). That paper about vfork() being harmful had it exactly backwards. It is fork() that is harmful. It has safety issues that make using it safely sufficiently hard as to not be worth it in many cases, but the real killer is fork()'s copy semantics, which just kills performance.

(A colleague of mine has used fork() in signal handlers to call abort() on the child side as a way of getting core dumps from live processes without killing them. That's pretty neat, and one of the very few uses of fork() I would endorse.)
In some countries it's pretty normal and expected for students to cheat in school, but after they find a job where they are treated with trust and respect and given real-world problems to solve, absolute majority will stop playing tricks.
That presents a scaling issue. Having more capacity than currently being consumed doesn't suggest there is even nearly enough to test an entire demographic so often / regularly.

True. I don't mean it to come out that way. However even if it is privileged, it is sage advice to keep yourself as employable as possible at all times, keep an eye on the market, what skills and interview questions you need to nail, etc.
I never stopped using RSS but this is a nice thought.

I ain't following anything political, though. Between general news sites I've subscribed to (which I hope are neutral enough) and the many contacts in my social networks that never stop droning about their politics (a few of whom I agree with, many of whom I disagree with), I have enough negativity in my life.

On a lighter note, I prefer "the old reader" over feedly. I feel that it's far less cluttered and gets out of the way. Wish they had an official android application, but their API is good enough that third party clients do the job.
