FB and YT Allowed Conspiracy Theorists to Turn Bill Gates into Pandemic Villain
Original title was too long. It was:

Facebook And YouTube Have Allowed Conspiracy Theorists To Turn Bill Gates Into The Pandemic's Villain
Ah yes, those "nasty" emails saying they can cut my service that I've been receiving weekly for about over 10 years now. They have your browsing history too, you know. It's not like you're not leaving a trail watching movies on pirate websites. I don't use popcorntime, but use bittorrent quite a bit. My guess on why they haven't cut my service is possibly that I live in an area with quite a few ISP's, so they know I'll just go to a competitor and they'd rather just send me automated form emails to claim they "did something" and keep the cash.
It really doesn't have to though. TypeScript can look like C# or it can look like Haskell, or it can be one in some places and the other in other places. This is my favorite property of [JT]S. You can simply use the best tool for the task at hand.
At this point they should have enough datapoints to know whether their strategy works out. Them continuing indicates that the hints of the loud is just the whistling of a minority.
If anything this post is a great piece of advice for the consumer. When looking a buying something with an interface, what happens to that interface during use. Will it get dirty? Will you have to use it without seeing it? Will it be wet? Touch screens quickly become unusable in certain conditions, so choose wisely.
It'd be great if there's was a trial option.
Damn! I already executed it, my system is tainted!
You can easily get "invalid" circuits when using diodes (the standard assumption of 0.6V or 0.7V drop across didn't make sense). I once got one of those on a final exam and waster 40+ minutes trying to figure out why my solution was "impossible." The teacher later cancelled that question, but I didn't get my 40 minutes back. Many lesson learned: A) don't be stubborn, let go; and B) circuit models ≠ circuit reality.

A relatively well known and highly funded managed WordPress company got its first X,000 users by offering free accounts to people with audience in exchange for being able to place links on the site that juiced the SEO. It wasn't "Powered by hosting company X" but rather things like "Best WordPress Hosting" and "How to Update WordPress".

SEO juice + new/immature sector = lots of FOS traffic/users.
> Someone is displeased by the results (Oh, the horror!)

I've heard a lot of mediocre leaders express this same sentiment and I never understand it. It's such a tacit admission of incompetence on their end. This kind of smug, apathetic, flippant response is a defense mechanism which gets in the way of confronting the real challenges and gravitational forces that conspire against successfully growing a healthy organization. You need mechanisms to grow past the Dunbar number, and they'll never work if a critical mass of the organization (including, of course, its leadership) is willing to indulge empty platitudes like this.

I'll give you a hint: who hired the displeased person working in said organization? If they aren't a good match for the organization, whose bright idea was it to hire them in the first place? If they are a good match, whose bright idea was it to create an organizational structure that doesn't set them up for success? There may be other management and executive layers present, but if and when those fail, responsibility ultimately trickles back up to the origin, the founder.
If I wanted to write a blog post that I could be sure no one would ever finish reading, I would do just this. (Or maybe just to screen out randoms from Hacker News. Genius!)

Interesting idea. I like the minimalist approach. My feedback is the firing cool down period should be much shorter. As fast as the player can hit the space bar. The enemies should move faster as well. At the moment the game feels difficult in an arbitrary way because of the artificial latency while firing.

This is so true. In one of my tasks as a consultant at a law firm, this is literally what happened when working on a plaintiff side case.

A partner spoke Mandarin, Japanese and Hindi while I spoke English, Hindi. We were called upon by translators a lot to proof eDiscovery case files.

The missing query and programming language
You can link both libstdc++ and libwinpthread statically if you want. Both libs come with msys2, so I wouldn't really call them obscure third-party DLLs... In practice, threading is not a problem at all with gcc on Windows. I agree, however, that libwinpthread is not the most efficient implementation (that's why I roll my own), but for most purposes it's good enough.
I think the effort is mostly around copystrikes. YouTube demonetizes and removes his videos whenever he plays even a snippet from a copyrighted work. If Spotify's lawyers handle those issues then Rogan can focus more on the show.
I would take a wild guess that it's less of Stack Overflow's actions and more that Stack Overflow's shitacular competition takes the highest ranked questions and SEOs the shit out of them to point to less useful more-malvertised sites
>Yes. If we don't treat the old now as we want to be treated when we are old ourselves, why would anyone do us the favour? We work towards the world we'll live in the future, right now, in the present. What we do now, how we behave towards those whose place we will be in one day will determine how we are treated when we are in their place.

We wouldn't be treating old people badly by not completely shutting down the entire country.

>This is a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think? "Denying our humanity..."? By not going to the pub?

Humans are social animals. Being unable to socialise is dehumanising, yes. It's not just an inconvenience, it's very real and very harmful.

>I note also that the narrative seems to have shifted a bit lately. A few weeks ago it was along the lines of "we can't keep the lockdown for ever, or the economy will go bust". Now, judging from this thread, it's changed to "we can't keep social distancing for ever because our lives will be destroyed".

It's not a coincidence, it's because the human cost is creeping up. You're literally just observing the negative impact of lockdown on people's health, but instead you seem to be choosing to interpret it as a negative and selfish character trait. Lockdown is obviously and trivially unsustainable, but so too is social distancing in the not too long run.
Since wages are typically part of a contract, which requires or implies a meeting of the minds, any new assumptions resulting in a new interpretation of the contract and its applicability may support an argument for renegotiation of said contract.
Bitumen has been used for over 70,000 years as an adhesive (and somewhat less for waterproofing), actually; the first use of it was by Neanderthals found in Syria.

And it is still used today. I painted the bottom of my boat with black bituminous paint. Wonderful stuff, and it has some pretty unique properties that surprised me while I watched it weather for the first few years.

Bitumen really is a wonderful thing, I'm surprised how few people know about it or use it.

If you've ever got to protect steel outdoors or underwater, I 100% recommend it as the simple, low-cost, high quality option. I would recommend one of the more modern mixtures like Epifanes Black Bottom, of which €15 will get you a liter (8-10m2 of one layer), €50 will get you four liters, just throw it over clean or dirty steel with a standard roller or brush and you're done. Make sure to do minimum 2 (ideally 3) layers, check that it's not collecting (large drips or puddles anywhere will take months to harden!), and put it on generously - you'll be rewarded with one of the best low-tech coatings money can buy.

Oh, and I just remembered bitumen tape - somewhere around $10-$20 will get you a large roll of the best tape on the planet (Commonly sold as bitumen roof tape at Home Depot.) Definitely not as versatile as duct tape, but it will stick to _absolutely everything_ no matter how oily, wet, dirty, etc. and save your butt in the craziest situations, I've used it to stop a boat from sinking and to stop a leak spraying everywhere. You can use it for everything from a leaky roof to a leaky sink to a pipe spraying wildly. Keep in mind, as it is a petroleum product it needs to be around 5-10C (40-50F) to be flexible and sticky enough. (You can also use this in the opposite way in your favor, use ice cubes to cool it down to make it less of a sticky mess.)

Anyone else have any other favorite bitumen products or related things that I'm missing?
Sorry, i missed you comment. It's both for riot and riotx. Reading at opened issues on riotx though it seems that the approach to solve this would be to add server side events
I don't know how long you've been running a company, but the bar to successfully surviving is a lot higher than simply refraining from lying or breaking promises. There's a reason why the vast majority of startups have failed and continue to fail time and time again. It's hard.

But, you'll make it a lot harder on yourself if you blame it on others when they leave. It will mean that if there is a systematic problem with the company, you will have shirked responsibility of dealing with it and are putting everyone else who works at the company at risk. Is that something you're willing to do? Is rectifying it something you are equipped to do?
Despite the alarmist headline, the story is seems nuanced and even-handed.

This seems to contradict this:

>Our purpose is to inspire writers, artists and thinkers. To create a vision of the future that is plausible at every level, internally consistent and abides by the accepted facts and theories in the physical, biological, and social sciences. We embrace speculative ideas like Drexlerian assemblers, mind uploading, posthuman intelligence, magnetic monopoles, wormholes and the technologies, and developments that will make all this possible.

Just looking at anything on that site means that if you happen to use any similar ideas you're at risk of violating copyright. It seems kind of like the same reason why none of the dolphin emu Devs can even look at the nintendo leak. You'd have to then prove your ideas are original and not lifted from Orion's arm.
Looks a little like the Typescript equivalent of Xo (https://github.com/xo/xo) for Go. Especially with Go, getting help with some initial scaffolding can be a huge timesaver. I'm assuming it's a similar gain for Typescript.
I see why people disagree with this, but it's a valid point IMO, if not on a technical level then on a socio-technical level. From the perspective of censorship, it's (close to) the worst idea to have one centralized... hub (hehe) to host code commons (like popcorn-time).

But instead having many small hand-maintained servers, the admin of each is responsible for what's hosted on it, and of which there is no registry, doesn't sound much better.
Very likely there would be a handful of effective central nodes in that network, but if you take down a couple of them, you end up with a situation where already-involved devs might still be able to navigate the landscape, but for a newcomer it might be really hard to find one of those nodes, or be sure it's one with the "right" revisions.
I've never had a reliability issue with slack. Interesting that you have such a different experience.

It isn't any more terrible than linux is terrible- which is to say that it requires a bit more practice and patience. Macos just happens to present the few things she uses it for front and center.

A chromebook would have suited her just as well if only it had enough hard drive space to store her pictures and was easier to connect to her iphone- one of those are not Apple's fault, one is.
Maybe it was because the Kirsten Hacker article's tone was a bit annoying to read. I upvoted your submission anyway as it might be a valuable question to ask.

In the global market, sure. American salaries in general for many fields are statistical outliers compared to the global market, even Europe.

Within the US however, while SV salaries are the highest, that's not the only city with 6 figure salaries as the norm for software engineers. Places like NYC, Boston, and Seattle have been there for a while, and Austin/Chicago/LA are close to, if not already averaging that too. This is especially true if you work for one of the major tech companies in those cities.

Go look at the salaries posted on www.levels.fyi in those cities and you'll see that SV is by no means an outlier when it comes to 6 figure salaries.
You'd be joining the ranks of pod people who real people work day and night to eliminate from among them.
That's great that you can find what you want. Many others simply can't.
Many people, if they know they are going to be WFH regularly, will want larger homes so that they can have a dedicated office space instead of having to set up a desk in their bedroom. This is especially true if you live with someone who also WFH and you can’t really work from the same room due to constant conference calls. Instead of a 1BR apartment, you might want a 2BR + a study, which obviously costs more.

Even if you don’t live with someone, it helps a lot to have your work space separate from your living space. I believe there are studies about this that say it makes both better for your sleep and for your work productivity if your sleep space and work space are not the same space.

Some people will also need beefier internet plans than they normally needed, so they can support constant video conferencing.
When I interviewed there ~3 years ago, yes, I asked, and I think they use Skype when there's an outage. And IRC server hosted on another cloud would work just as well, too.

Exactly, culture matters a great degree for creative work. If there were a big untapped reservoir of cultural input for tech firms being underutilized, it would be invested in. You see this a bit in secondary tech hubs like Boulder or Austin, which by dint of their history have some of whatever culture and skillsets the tech industry needs.

Big cities and metropolitan areas are generators of their flavor of culture, and that influences the kind of work objects that the local labor pool can produce.

Many of the cities on GP's list are actually major tech hubs (Tokyo, Sao Paulo, NYC, LA), and many of the other cities (Cairo, Mexico City, LA) are major creative centers for other industries especially media/entertainment industries for their respective spheres of orbit.

This is a very valid way to run a certain kind of company. If the company is kept to a certain size and scope, you can achieve a lot of success with little headaches. But, for companies that reach (or need to reach) a certain organizational size to survive, there's an upper logistical limit on how far you can take this while getting away with it. Bureaucracies, processes and mechanisms were invented out of this necessity.
Judging from the stuff in the Afghanistan Papers link posted in a thread here the other day, there's already a huge group of major US(?) companies freely sharing intel with US intelligence agencies—the implication, in context, was that they'd either opened up access to some portion of their data on users/citizens for intel agencies to dig through whenever they want, or that they're actively looking for certain kinds of info then passing that along, not just that they respond to warrants—and that's considered common-enough knowledge that its existence wasn't redacted. Dunno who's included but I doubt none of the big tech companies are.

yes, but the opium wars sowed mistrust and discord, souring chinese folks on euro-centric westernism, and capitalism was held up as the shining beacon of westernism for the last century or two. that prior systems were crumbling and other factions fueling the fight is (co-)incidental.

for instance, the US spent most of the 20th century vilifying communism/socialism, going to war, invading other countries, and undermining independent states through all manner of subterfuge. do you really think it's that far-fetched that those experiences pushed china away from the kind of budding capitalism described in the article?
