I don't have any dog in this fight, but listing Netflix is not correct. They went public in 2002, and were profitable in 2003, so not in the same camp as Amazon and Twitter at all.

(If you want to be pedantic, they were unprofitable for "year", not "years" after IPO)
I've seen a bunch of people just link to HN and reddit discussions of their posts. On my blog I am using utteranc.es, which let's people make comments using github issues. It does require making a github account though. Here's an example of some comments on a post: https://blog.kdheepak.com/writing-papers-with-markdown.html
Openai model that can generate working code from comments
Yes it is when the effect of a single person taking offense at your speech is censorship of your speech for every other person too.
That's a common fallacy. Doing something is not better than nothing when you don't know what you're doing.
Enterprise is privately owned and I was told they were debt free when I worked there. Enterprise Fleet (i.e. company cars) has different debt covenants.
Nektar | Full-time | Node.js / React | Remote

We're building digital assistants to help people at work. Our business model is B2B SaaS.

On the frontend, we're building delightful mobile apps for iOS and Android using React Native and an intuitive no-code workflow builder using React. On the backend, we're building a knowledge graph populated by a flexible data ingestion pipeline and feeding a powerful workflow engine, all of which are in Node.js. We're looking for engineers who would like to work on some combination of these.

The company is only five months old, and we are looking for engineer #5 in our all-remote team (the other four are in Singapore, Jakarta, Bangalore and Ho Chi Minh City). While we're early stage, we have a prototype already piloting with users in India, Singapore and the US, and we have a runway of about two years.

We prefer people who can work East-Asia (UTC+8) hours as we still rely quite a bit on synchronous communication.

I'm a founder and the CTO. Email careers@nektar.ai to apply.
Fake news.

So you don't think any president, politics aside, with serious rioting going on, including burning churches near the White House, wouldn't be (shouldn't be) whisked by his Secret Service people to some place of known safety?
> Carl Icahn for directing $57M last year to other companies he controls while being a minority owner of Hertz

Is that legal? Could Carl Ichan be civilly or criminally liable? Potentially go to jail?

These debt sheet power moves by billionaires impact stockholders, including retirement and pension funds. When the companies they control go bankrupt, they materially harm the people who can't play at that level.

I don't know if this was wrong, but the outcome was certainly not good. It's high stakes gambling with other people's livelihoods.
It's an interesting thesis but feels a little cult-ish in mindset. The Neo-isomorphism prediction seems most interesting in terms of the benefits. Because honestly - I think we are MORE likely to see a shift towards containerization of services/apps rather than a module orientation.

Eh, friends in apartment buildings are looking to never live in one again it feels like. IDK how long that will stick. But yeah, they'd be looking to stay in the city, just somewhere with it's own door lol. But unless jobs start moving out too (or widespread remote work becomes both real and pleasant) I can't imagine a large urban exodus.
Me too. I would love to be able to make anything I write free while having all my material needs seen to and only writing for the love of it/prestige.

But we don't live in that society.

I guess we could argue about semantics but depriving me of my ability to legitimately profit from my work while the IA wrapped itself in a flag of doing good seems like at the very least a very low form of behaviour, as well as illegal.
And I doubt many people would describe us any word other than theft.
Many of these businesses are also predictably linked to the broader economy - ticketing at Eventbrite, reservations/shopping for Yelp. It would be prudent to keep a cash stockpile for the inevitable cyclic downturns.

Full disclosure, I worked at Eventbrite two years ago.
The police get unbelievably huge amounts of money (like serious amounts of money) so it's not that.

Yesterday police in Columbus, Ohio replaced the American flag flying outside of their headquarters with a "Blue line" police flag. Just hours ago representatives of our nation's largest police force, the NYPD, posted on twitter the home address of the mayor's adult daughter.

It's a lack of political will, but that's kind of putting it mildly- it would be more accurate to say that the politicians are afraid of the police.
This is a little nuanced. If we're talking about a cloud VM that you, personally, have root on, then indeed the software you choose to put on it can be considered free software (if you alone are the user). However, that software is not a service - the infrastructure that allows you to run it is the service (and obviously not free, although you're probably fine with that).

But that changes if you publish an interface to the software on your cloud machine, and allow others to use it. Now it's a "service" and that software is no longer free, because you have denied the four freedoms to its users.

Software as a service cannot be free software - it is a fundamental contradiction.
There is no such thing as "deleting" data on somebody's else system.

> Anyway, false dichotomy? Not all housing choices within range are burdened with an association?

That depends on where you are; in some cities, the vast majority of housing developments have an HOA.
I’m not sure it’s quite so simple as “they change their mind”. In a republic where deal-making has to happen, if you ran on W, X, Y, and Z, you might have to compromise on Z to get W, X, and a watered-down version of Y. Doesn’t mean you changed your mind on Z or strict-Y, but you can’t get everything you want because other Americans want other things and they can’t get everything they want either. Maybe a lesser politician would only have gotten W and half of X...

I’m not sure what penalty would be appropriate that would be better than standing for re-election and having the people weigh in. Voters who were strict-Y or any-Z might choose to not vote to re-elect. Voters who care about and got more X than par and a little bit of Y would be inclined to re-elect.
CISA looks to offer a new DNS resolver to civilian agencies and beyond
LAPD underwent unprecedented reform in the wake of the riots. It’s certainly not a perfect department, but it is exponentially better than it was in 1992. You are making the opposite point you think you are. The riots and DoJ consent decrees are literally the _only_ tactics that have succeeded in the past.

The failure after the riots was that we didn’t treat it as a national problem and undertake systemic reform of our policing systems from root to stem.
Materials Project, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory | Web Developer | Berkeley, CA, USA | Onsite | https://materialsproject.org https://lbl.gov

Mission: We are a group of academic researchers who create and curate the Materials Project, the world's leading database of crystalline materials that is freely available for people to query to find materials for applications such as energy, batteries, solar, water splitting, optoelectronics and more. Our user base is growing exponentially (now >120k) and includes a wide range of people, from students who are just encountering materials science for the first time, to academic researchers and industry users. We’re now in the process of building a new frontend for the website to meet some key needs that have arisen as the project has grown, as well as to share some of the latest data we’ve been generating which will require deep thought in how best to make this data accessible and understandable to the broadest possible audience. If this sounds exciting to you, please get in touch. The Materials Project was founded in 2011.

Technologies: This is a good time to start working with us since we're at the early stages of designing our new frontend, and you will have an opportunity to help us shape what that looks like. We've settled on React and TypeScript for our core technologies, and are committed to modern best practices where possible. Due to the large number of Python developers in our team, we will also be making heavy use of the Plotly Dash framework, and extending this using custom React components, so some Python familiarity will also be useful. All the code we write is open source <3 you can find our code at https://github.com/materialsproject

Team: You will be joining a small team of four core developers, along with a larger research group of many postdocs and graduate students here at LBL, and also interacting with our collaborators worldwide.

COVID statement: This is an on-site job, however we are currently working remote and have been given guidance to expect this to continue until the end of September.

The official job ad, further details on how to apply, and our equal employment opportunity statement are all available here: https://lbl.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?job=9028...
Your concept of what’s factual has to be rooted in something.
I don't know, this matches closely the meaning I was taught when I was first introduced to the word. I've never found Hacker News to be misnamed.
Your comment isn't really saying anything, though. It can be summed up as "Nu uh."

Could you go into detail about why there's a lack of understanding of the business model, or how public markets work?
Datadog | Software Engineers | ONSITE (Boston, NYC, Paris) and REMOTE (US & EU) | Full-time

Datadog is a monitoring, tracing, and logs system for your infrastructure and services. We build our own tsdb, distributed tracing tools, cutting edge visualizations, and more. We love shipping great experiences for customers just like us and are growing fast!

We write Go, Python, Java, and React, (mostly) run on k8s, and are multi-region and multi-cloud.

We're looking for people who can build systems at scale as we process trillions of events per day. Let us know if that's you!

They are relatively expensive, they have fairly high self-discharge rates and aren’t very efficient. Last I checked, they had on the order of 1%/day discharge (some versions are as low as ~20%/month). They also are not very efficient in the charge/discharge cycle, losing 30-40% of the power put in. Lithium currently is around 10%.

Their primary use is in applications where their long lifetimes outweigh all other considerations.
They'd take on less pay with growth opportunity elsewhere. Even with more pay! "Former Facebook engineer" helps with salary negotiation.
Most of Henry Ford’s Nazi sympathies took place prior to 1939. In fact it might be fairer to say that the Nazis were the ones inspired by Ford’s open promotion of anti-semitism.
Its just another way of saying landlords need to incentivize renters. So the market has definitely changed. I feel this is a stopgap measure and that rents must come down eventually. At that point the incentives will stay too.
This treats police violence as the problem rather than a symptom of the deeper problem. If we still have police enforcing inequity, and enforcing it unevenly, at that, then the problem will just erupt in different symptoms. Friendly, nonviolent Fred Rogers-style police keeping the poor in their ghettos don't fix anything.

Precisely. People have been voting and non-violently protesting for decades, and it hasn't worked.
Zuckerberg commits Facebook to $10m donation to groups working on racial justice
Ouch. I guess I fell into the trap where one reads a word and doesn't notice it repeats twice (trolley problem problem).

But I think I still got the jist of your argument: That people supporting lockdown are applying trolley problem logic ("hurt the economical bystanders to save sick people").

What I wrote in response applies. That isn't trolley logic since the goods are noncomparable. I'll go further: financial harms in general aren't a good fit for a trolley problem, since one can always compensate later.
I always thought the low efficiency was in cooling, not in heating.

On the other hand, the french revolution, the american revolution, and the civil war could be argued to be violent protests for reform that did some good. I think slow erosion of rights and safety nets through quiet periods of apathy does more harm to more people, and becomes harder to reverse in the long run.
Thanks! There's a pretty direct line for me too. I'd be happy if my post helps others in a similar position.

Where else were they going to go right now? The entire auto industry, and especially the rental side, are effectively stalled and not hiring new people. In a normally functioning market I would agree with you, but in this case it really comes across as a ridiculous and needless handout.

I would start with C++11. You get the best of the old capability, along with the niceties of a modern language, and it's supported by most compilers you will encounter. I wouldn't go newer than that just because of compiler support depending on your industry sector.
The 15% drop is in actually signed renewals. The listings you're seeing are the ones that haven't yet caught up with the new market realities (rents seem to be somewhat sticky). These listings are aspirational, and aren't being signed at these levels.

But at least since the late 70s the kids then who were able to purchase a machine at home (Apple II, Commodore) did manager to stay 24 hours behind a screen. And a lot of interesting things came from that era.

I'd argue that it's not the distraction or time spent before a screen, but the complexity software engineering becomes. Back in late 70s and 80s if you owned a personal computer, you can literally map the whole memory into your brain. A commercial game could be developed in under 2-3 months. Just look at how ID Software managed to pump out tons of games in under one year. They are definitely very talented, but how come they don't do it nowadays, or even in the late 90s?

Nowadays computing is the red sea where competition is cut throat and even great talents only get to work in a niche area.
I agree with your first sentence. We can agree to disagree on the second, though, as I thoroughly prefer a template approach.
There is an extremely strong cultural and behavioral norm against murder. I do not find laws against it to be redundant.

I prefer to live in the word where that man’s freedom of speech in 1967 means we get to remember and appreciate the progress we fight for. Censorship helps those who already have the most power by giving them an easy way to maintain it.
mDNS, Avahi and Docker non-root containers
Apache Druid 0.18.0 release notes
Currently, WebAssembly doesn't can't directly call any of the browser APIs; it has to call back into javascript to make any network requests, make WebGL calls, read to/write from the DOM. Projects like wasm-bindgen make it look like you're directly calling browser APIs, but it's actually calling out to a Javascript shim.

I think this project's use case is that you have a fixed query, but the dataset over which you're running that query is changing over time (getting streaming updates). The wasm part is doing the work of running the query over the dataset and updating the query results as new data streams in. So the assumption is that rendering isn't the bottleneck, but running the query is.

Thoughts on Management Lessons from the Last Dance
The desires of the owners should be indirect. I wish they were. I think it's fair to say the owners likely started exerting their influence (money for legislative influence) a long time ago. That copyright law has continued to move toward the owner's rights end of the spectrum serves as an indicator that legislators see the owner's interests as an explicit part of the contract, intended or not.

Aside from that, insofar as US copyright takes inspiration from the Statute of Anne, I'd say that the interests of copyright holders were never completely indirect ("... and too often to the Ruin of them and their Families...").

re: The "what we should be asking" - I don't think we can conceive of the possible business models that could spring up if changes were made to copyright law. Sure-- some business models might become untenable-- but I don't think entire classes of works would just disappear. I'd rather ask "What new business models or classes of works would be permitted if this particular exclusive privilege were relaxed?"
I’m not giving my side of the argument, because I’m not engaging with the argument. I’m talking about cultural values, not legal definitions of free speech.
I particularly dislike headlines and articles that presume to know what the reader is thinking or doing, in order to presumptuously tell them they're "wrong".

Sometimes you don't really care or are uninformed about a topic, in which case you can't be said to have arrived at the position of being "wrong".

Other times it's a subject you deeply care about, have investigated, and you either agree with the author or don't, but you probably can't really be said to be "wrong" in either case without further context.
There are two versions of the 13".
The missing ingredient to really, REALLY solve these problems once and for all is an authoritative decision to switch package formats and run the whole dependency resolution stack by the core python language contributor team.

I get backwards compatibility and open-source governance and bla-bla, but the reality is that this cannot be done by a third-party library author and needs to become part of the core stack, including proper support rather than just shipping a tool which covers 90% of cases. It's crazy that apart from venv and pip, nothing else comes with python and you're left on your own.

npm + the registry is part of node

apt-get + registry is part of a normal linux distro

budnler comes with ruby

This is a solved problem elsewhere. What we lack is a fully-supported, agreed upon, working DEFAULT choice, so people don't have to make their own choices. I don't know if not having that DEFAULT is a function of how the python community thinks or its diversity, but it's painful to watch. I've almost given up myself and seen many newcomers give up because of a trivial problem like this.
You must be busy this week!
This sounds like a really atypical project. Consuming 25% of your CPU is a lot! I hear people mention those kinds of numbers only for Slack, which does have a lot of functionality.

I'd just point out that for the average project, the main advantage is that with something like Solid or Svelte, it will load in less than a second, vs. a few seconds for React, especially for something simple like a blog where you don't want to think about perf or optimize much.
First month free has definitely been around at times, but I think less so in the most recent pre-COVID years. This article mentioned we might start seeing 2 months though, which I think is much rarer.

My complex charges existing tenants greater than 5% more than new ones because they know that few people want to go through the pain of moving out. I haven been able to use the obviousness of this to keep negotiating the "new tenant" rate with them.
