Your first 3 points are collectively true and a fair rebuttal. That absolutely does not change the fact that the level of instability in Rust would make me very uncomfortable to use it for anything I want to last very long right now. I am not obligated to be fair to my tools when I choose them. C is profoundly stable, and that is a great asset for long-lived systems.

You're missing the context. The point of the R&D credit is for companies to engage in R&D activities in the US as opposed to other countries. Additionally, it was introduced in reaction to other countries introducing R&D credits to steal R&D work from the US.

It does not create a barrier to small companies. If you're not big enough to handle the paperwork for the R&D credit, you're not spending enough to derive meaningful benefit from the credit anyways. And generally, there exist plenty of accounting firms that will prepare the R&D documentation on a % basis (of the allowable R&D credit identified).

It also subsidises product development engineers - a profession that is doing well already

In the software world, sure. There are plenty of industries where product development staff (many of whom aren't engineers) don't make anywhere close to 6 figures.
For a second I thought this was a headline from Iran or Russia.

You are misunderstanding free speech, it isn't a literal statement. Free speech is about being allowed to express ideas, not disrupting classrooms or harassing others. If you are allowed to express your idea after waiting for your turn, then your speech wasn't suppressed even if people told you to be quiet for a while.
The issue with that is the lack of lexical scope. Lambdas have lexical scoping, def functions do not. To “fake” lexical scope, you have to use the nonlocal or global statements, which are gross and self-defeating.

If we did then there wouldn't be articles complaining about WFH.

Just let people do what they want. If you like WFH then find a company that allows it, if you don't, do the inverse.

I don't see why there is so much hate against WFH when it's a choice (not including the virus situation).

I would NEVER go back to an office. I've been WFH for 5 years now.

You can certainly put a price not having to live in a rent-trap city.

I bought and paid off a 3bdr house in a year because of low cost of living. I no longer pay rent/mortgage or commute.

I see how some people wouldn't like it, but there are plenty of jobs for those people.

P.S: a 30 minute commute is 252 hours of your year gone ($25,200 @ $100/hr) and $3-6k in gas plus stress.

Do yourself a favor and start working on your office setup, you'll want to work remotely when you get older at least.

You need actual charge control logic for a modern rechargeable battery so that it doesn't overheat or malfunction, but you can get multi-amp Li-ion/LiPo chargers online for ~$25 if you're able to find and attach the right connectors.

This also seems like a situation where the maker community could easily open source replicate whatever the custom connector to the bike requires.

Very cool! I tried doing some signal processing stuff back in the day and got absolutely discouraged after discovering how much linear algebra was involved.

I particularly appreciate the ability to preview compression. Compression is probably what I use most when I'm editing audio and having that at my fingertips without loading Audacity or Ableton would be super nice for quick, rough changes.

One thing that I'd really like to see would be a de-essing plugin, or even better a multiband compressor.
Seems like having the president attack Twitter for their speech (adding extra speech that suggests that some shared information is disputed) is the actual violation of Free Speech. The First Amendment says that the federal government can't stifle free speech, which seems like what is happening here.
If Trump can post claims about voting by mail, why can’t Twitter?

How could a fact-check not be considered free speech like anything else and why shouldn’t twitter be able to post content?
Going to be down voted for that but after all those discussions of HN readers it is disappointing to see that click-bait titles works the same here than everywhere else
A lot of people are screaming about re-use... but man, these were never designed to be consumer bikes. You likely don't have a one-at-a-time charger, they probably have some sort of rack that charges 100 batteries at once.

I think you’re missing the forest through the trees. I like Jira for simple request processes and tracking projects. Confluence is nice because you can making a living document that is constantly updated. I see huge benefits using them vs not using them. It saves organizations a huge amount of time for knowledge management. Slack, Jira, Confluence are much better than using email and Sharepoint.
Short bits of computer science in practice [audio]
Now I'm curious what the historical precedent is for this. What happens (first-amendment-wise) when a company town has a literal private-property town square? Could the company control speech in "its" town square?

For that matter: what about malls? Or university campuses? Or public transit infrastructure provided by private government contractors? What are your free-speech rights when in one of these (privately-owned, public use) places?

I feel like a very extreme edge-case situation could be constructed to test the law here: incorporate a town; and then, as your first act as mayor, sell the whole of the town's incorporated territory to a private corporation. Have the corporation declare that anyone engaging in democratic actions on "its property" (e.g. holding a municipal election) is trespassing. Are you now the town's autocratic mayor-for-life, however-many people may move in?
>The legacy OTA broadcasters were granted exclusive licenses to large chunks of a scarce natural resource (RF spectrum). Their public service obligations are essentially their payments on those licenses.

This seems like pretty strong implications of cause and effect. Doing something as a payment in return of a service (license).
Yes, I also agree with you from a moral standpoint that it doesn't seem right, but if you agree to their terms by creating an account, you play by their rules.

Honestly, the point I'm trying to make with the baker analogy is only to understand who has the final say: the company has the final say on what actions they will perform and the customer has the final say on where they spend their time and money.

There are actually plenty of alternatives to Twitter, but obviously these corporations own the largest market share. However, to blame Twitter or Facebook for that is misguided. They are as big as they are because customers have decided to agree to their terms, and if those terms change, Twitter and others have to send updated User Terms, at which point all users have every right to cancel their accounts. Any complaints about a company's policies whilst still being a customer is their own fault. :)

Or maybe we think that giving the government the power to tell private companies which speech they must allow is more authoritarian than letting the companies decide for themselves. Whenever there are tricky balancing questions like this, I always err on the side of the party that doesn't have a monopoly on violence.

You should read the signing statement for the CARES act.

The Executive (created to execute the laws enacted by Congress) states that they WILL NOT execute a portion of Congressional Law (the portion that stipulates oversight of the Executive) because they “don’t understand” and because the Constitution has a clause stating that they (the Executive) must execute the laws faithfully.

I think it is the patent for “what to expect moving forward”.

Well site guidelines say to submit the original title, not a clickbait alteration. Mods are good about enforcing that.
Sorry; I know that you work hard to ensure that HN remains a safe space for white supremacists, mysoginists, and other bigots. I hope I didn't undo your toil by briefly making one such person very slightly uncomfortable.

It is clearly important to PG, sama, and you that HN be a place where hateful people with power can leverage that power, spread disinformation, and make others feel unwanted, so long as they do so using a thin veil of polite language. You do excellent work in achieving that goal.

I'd like it if C had read arrays and range types like Ada.
It's disingenuous to compare political speech to, for example, copy/pasting the N word a dozen times. It seems reasonable for a "neutral" platform to allow "moderation" of the latter, but perhaps not the former.
That's because we're conditioned to think of constructors as functions rather than as types. I think that's not that odd honestly but I do see how counterintuitive it is for people that don't work much in typed languages. I'm not a Haskellite but there you can clearly see the distinction when defining/instantiating sum types (where the type and data constructor live in different namespaces).
What about those of us who do not identify as "left" or "right" and would prefer that both gangs leave the Internet alone?

Interesting, I would've expected them to ignore an expired cert in the chain if there is also a still valid one.
Curious to see if there's evidence for this. I am not sure how one would go about measuring this - but perhaps it would help if you elaborate on how this favoritism manifests in the way Twitter operates. Is there anything like that or is this based more on your personal feelings on the matter?

Yeah, I've eaten a decent amount of raw animal products of good quality and never gotten sick from them. Beef 4 times or so, pork once, sashimi and non sashimi grade fish, eggs, (daily), beef liver, cow tongue, oddly never milk yet.

I don't think there is actually any good evidence that what I've done in that regard should be promoted. Price's book never promoted these things either.
It doesn't matter, they didn't post a message like everyone else instead they made an official statement using their own privileged way. It is fine to do it on this message, I don't see the harm, but if this continues and people gets used to that blurb then Twitter will definitely start misusing it sooner or later. I don't think that companies should have this kind of power to influence public discourse, I might not agree with Trump but I really think that we need to limit the power big tech companies have.
Absolute numbers vary with each machine, to the point they’re irrelevant in isolation.

However, in terms of relative performance the async version was 10x to 20x better. Bear in mind it was a simple hello world benchmark. I also disabled keep-alive. Reusing a connection gets you even better performance.

Rocket is a well designed framework, so I’d expect it to perform similarly to other rust frameworks once the async version hits master.
I'm not arguing that we need to entirely restrict activity, sorry if that was unclear. However, very little is fundamentally different today than in March. The virus is no less virulent, we have no widely available non-supportive treatment, and only a small percentage of the population is thought to have immunity.

Our only advantage is a higher level of preparedness in terms of testing, tracing and standards of care for the sick.

That should allow us a greater level of freedom than at the height of the lockdown, especially in less hard hit areas if testing and tracing can be relied upon to catch flare ups early.

All that doesn't change the fact that 100% business as usual will eventually require either a vaccine, an effective treatment, or a large number of deaths.

The fatal mistake which will cost the FAANGs billions is in becoming editors rather than facilitators by appending links to Twitter users posts. This doesn't scale (will all posts not edited/ appended to/rubber stamped by Twitter be considered 'true?) and also blows out the already stretched meaning of Section 230. This opens the door to much greater regulation of BigTech internationally.

'Section 230 says that "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider" (47 U.S.C. § 230). In other words, online intermediaries that host or republish speech are protected against a range of laws that might otherwise be used to hold them legally responsible for what others say and do. The protected intermediaries include not only regular Internet Service Providers (ISPs), but also a range of "interactive computer service providers," including basically any online service that publishes third-party content. Though there are important exceptions for certain criminal and intellectual property-based claims, CDA 230 creates a broad protection that has allowed innovation and free speech online to flourish'.

https://www.eff.org/issues/cda230
People are arguing a lot about if the claims in the post are true or not but I feel like this misses the point. Assuming they're all true that's still a good thing.

I expect competitiveness in every sector of the economy I don't work in, so I have to measure myself by the same standards. If someone can do my work for less money, hire them. We can talk about welfare for displaced workers but employment isn't charity, the best worker who can do the work for the least amount of money should do it, and we're all better off.

Removing geography and mobility as a limiting factor is a boon for innovation. It will give an unprecedented amount of people a shot at a great job. Not to mention that increased competiton for existing jobs will create a huge incentive for entrepreneurship. Without all those cozy well paying tech jobs lined up, there's a real incentive to starting your own company.
This tool is not regulated, they could use it to cause harm. It doesn't matter if it was used for good this one time.

And no, them being a private company doesn't matter. Currently they have a lot of power thanks to them having a lot of important users, and now that they are starting to use that power we need to quickly come up with regulations for it.

In the University of California system they set up "free speech zones" for protestors and activists. They're often complete surrounded by chain link fencing with one entrance/exit.
So as soon as they make any kind of restriction on the use of their platform they become publishers? That's quite a stretch. That would have the same effect: it would require them to provide unfettered access for anyone, for any purpose.
