Good points. Also I think you should consider the monopolization of communication platforms. What percentage of all communication is done on a only a very few sites. Even further problematic behavior is those sites can use widespread methods to silence particular types of points of view. This even stifles the ability for use of other platforms to spread a message across the population.

doesn't this mean when they end up on your 1997 site (without realizing it, because all they did was click a link), and then try to navigate around, they're stuck in the old version of your site?

edit: maybe not, because the old site was written to assume it's running at the current site's subdomain? i guess it depends on much you've changed your URL structure since then. that thought makes me a little squeemish.

it seems like a nice approach would be to return the 404, and make your 404 page render a link that says "try an archived version?". you gotta let the user know that what they're about to see might be stale.

There's no such law in any US State that I'm aware of that requires a company provide you severance pay upon termination. Such severance is a courtesy at best. When the circumstances are contentious, it is frequently provided in exchange for an agreement that the terminated employee not sue the company for unlawful termination, discrimination, etc. and not defame the company in any way.

> and I also enjoy the feeling of camaraderie that comes when a bunch of people get together to tackle a certain problem

I don't really disagree with anything you've said, but I don't see why you can't get that same feeling of camaraderie when working remotely.
> - Don't use it for tasks that don't require idempotency (eg. a job that uses a bookmark).

You can totally design your tasks to be idempotent - but its up to you to make them that way. The scheduler or executor doesn't have any context into your job.

This is why I encourage people to use a unified base operator and then pass their own docker containers to it. Aka like how https://medium.com/bluecore-engineering/were-all-using-airfl... outlines it.

> - Don't use it for latency-sensitive jobs (this one should be obvious).

IIRC this is being addressed in Airflow 2.0

> - Don't use sensors or cross-DAG dependencies.

This is a little extreme. I've never ran into issues with cross dag dependencies or sensors. They make managing my DAGs way easier because wee can separate computation dags from loading dags.

context: I built/manage my company's Airflow platform. Everything is managed on k8s.
One of the best papers I've seen is Crime Markets: Non-Usefulness of Prediction Markets for Assassination and Crime: http://bitcoinhivemind.com/papers/6_Crime_Markets.pdf Summary:

> Some worry that censorship-resistant prediction markets will be used to encourage assassinations (and other crimes); this concern does not hold up to a sober examination. “Assassination markets” (AMs), as originally proposed by Jim Bell, are irreconcilably different from Prediction Markets (PMs). My experimental method for funding public goods with PMs has features which render it incompatible with crime. Furthermore, markets would generally present an excessively-complex, risky, and convoluted form of criminal financing. Truthcoin presents a (peaceful) alternative for accomplishing ideological goals, which features greater persuasiveness as well as lower cost. I conclude with a short discussion covering [1] recourse for those affected by AMs (of any kind), [2] features of Truthcoin designed to amplify the inherent impracticalities of AMs, and [3] the (necessarily relevant) total net effect of Truthcoin on political assassinations, general crime and general human welfare.

The linked paper does a thorough job of explaining this scenario, but to summarize: yes, in the absence of other market participants you might try to bet on low-probability events and make them happen. But because it's a public market, anyone can see the anomalous "predictions" you have made, and "free ride" on or even "front run" your position, including your accomplices (who can also sabotage you). On net, your position will be mostly consumed by arbitrage, your payout will be inconsequential compared to the capital required, and the probability "returned" by the market will remain accurate.
Airflow can be used to process data that only adds up to 10s or 100s of MBs. In aggregate, a big tech company processes petabytes or exabytes, but remember, technology like Airflow isn't processing all of that simultaneously within one task. So no, I would not characterize Airflow as a solution to just "massive company problems".

Instead of being the police, Twitter should do what Rotten Tomatoes does. There are plenty of people - journalists and researchers analyzing the facts behind what celebrities say. They should analyze what the analysts say and display a score.

True, but remember when many apps were not made for Linux, because it was not worth it? With Electron at least we have apps like VSCode for Linux too. Not ideal, but better than nothing.
When I took an epidemiology course in college, our professors taught us about both control studies and cohort studies. Cohort studies might be an example of what you're looking for. This article [0] hosted on the NIH's site discusses cohort studies and their effectiveness / pitfalls.

They may not have publicly announced layoffs, but I know several who, let's say, overstayed their welcome. They were given months, but no other position appeared. The company was still hiring like crazy, but somehow an internal candidate wasn't acceptable. Go figure.

It's a company like any other and now they're acting more like the herd.
Police don't defend normal people or communities, that's not their job. Their job is to enforce the law, no matter how unjust the law is.

> We should support good police officers and not assume all are bad and racist.

There is no such thing as a non-racist or good police officer. The police system as a whole is racist. Anybody who chooses to participate in and support that system everyday of their lives is racist.

A more nuanced view of the topic:

"Taiwanese politics is full of complex subtleties that not every news report can include. But if reporting on the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it is that accuracy matters. A simple change, describing Tsai and the DPP as “pro-status quo” instead of “pro-independence,” gives readers a more accurate and nuanced account of Taiwan’s reality."

`useDispatch` has absolutely no overhead whatsoever. It's literally just `return store.dispatch`.

There's also less "overhead" in the sense that it's not pre-binding action creators.

If you meant to say `useSelector` here, that also has less overhead than `connect` because it's having to select less state and do fewer comparisons.

No, if it can be taken at face value, it suggests a protective effect of a healthy lifestyle.
Universities are not arguing this.

If you read the article, you’ll see that the universities in question have already, voluntarily, given partial refunds to students prior to these lawsuits.

The lawsuits are demanding even more refunds while the students still want to collect the remote education. If the Universities were faced with this decision up front, it would have been better for them to furlough all employees and simply delay education until after Coronavirus.

Instead, they made the best of the situation and tried to do right by the students as best they could within the financial, legal, and ethical constraints of Coronavirus. In my opinion, it’s not reasonable to demand universities operate at a loss to provide the remote education at a rate less than it costs them to operate (which I suspect may be happening already in some cases). We’re all making compromises under the circumstances.

I’d be more sympathetic if these students were requesting to defer their education until after Coronavirus and were willing to forgo all education and credits in the mean time. Demanding both the education and a refund isn’t exactly fair.
This is a good idea, but I'm afraid it's rather unworkable in practice. If you're going to remove a page, you either didn't want it up, or you moved it somewhere else, or your entire site is unavailable. If you moved it somewhere else, you should add a 301, but for all other cases it's not for lack of will that the link died.

The nice thing about IPFS is that it has this out of the box. Pages can never die as long as at least one node has them in their cache, even if the original owner went away.

Edit: I'm wrong, the video I had seen was slightly abridged.

The video camera turns on while they were (likely) already told they will be arrested. They were perhaps ordered to move and did not move. The National Guard and state troopers in that particular area (< 15 miles from me) started ordering people to disperse or face arrest. I don't believe that press are exempt from this order especially when a state of emergency is declared.

Are you implying that Google is a "tech" company that is actually an advertising vendor? I understand where they derive most of their revenue from but given their contributions to everything from the linux kernel, to networking, containers, etc. I think it's a little unfair to put quotes around "tech" in their case.
> It's dorm life, it's extracurriculars, it's meeting people and forming friendships and hanging out with them outside of class time.

that's a community. You shouldn't have to need to pay to be part of a community. By gating this behind an expensive college tuition fee, it causes separation in society and is a cause for the inequalities of opportunities in the world. IMHO, tertiary education should be "free" (that is, a loan which is almost zero interest, and only needs to be paid back when earning above some "high" tax rate).
Sometimes it does, but it's good enough that I've switched to DDG as the default and just use !g when the main DDG search misses the mark. Not having to deal with Google cruft anymore is worth it.
censoring the commander in chief is an active act of aggression against the american people. not only should we repeal section 230, we should view twitter as a hostile power.

we should study twitters deep ties to the saudis and china. and jack should be investigated. they also should no longer be protected by section 230 and therefore should be prosecuted for the child exploitation they host
So many people point out that DDG isn't being explicit with what they do in their billboards whilst also referencing that they know what it is but others probably don't.

I think this is intentional, I'd wager a pretty penny that most of the HN crowd represent the more technical part of the population, and so for their non-technical, friends, family members, and associates probably are the de facto "influencer" in matters of technology. DDG isn't trying to convince the lay people to switch, they are trying to convince the tech people to switch knowing that if they can capture that market they will drag everyone else with them.

Really it is brilliant.

What?? This is literally the definition of a student loan: the bank gives the student some money now, and the student agrees to give them a certain amount of money out of their paycheck for a number of years after graduation.

Indentured servitude involves work without pay for a period of time. Quit talking about things you don't understand.
It seems better than student loans. If the students don't make an income or make a lower income, then the percentage is lower as well.
Ask HN: What outcomes of us election are possible in reality?
I see there is a lot of things going around about what can happen in the US election this year and I wanted to know what is really possible with the laws that we have today.

Outcome 1: Trump wins and stay in office.

Outcome 2: Biden wins; Trump vacates office gracefully

Outcome 3: Biden wins; Trump does not concede citing fraud etc and chooses not to leave office on Jan 20

Outcome 4: Election nullified.

I am curious if outcome 3 and 4 are legally possible? If so what would happen for each of these outcomes (3 and 4)? Like what would happen next and who would rule if there is an interim period?

Are there other real and probable outcomes possible here ? If so what are those? ( besides candidates not being able to compete in the election physically/mentally). Would be great to hear some perspective (preferably of people within the legal field)on what all could go wrong this year from a election perspective.
That isn't semver
Wasn't Trump referring to stand your ground laws?
Your advice is unsafe without the context necessary to avoid harming oneself when adding or changing dietary supplementation. While you may understand that context, your flat declaration that "vitamin supplements are good" is plainly wrong without significant disclaimers that you did not include.

Vitamin K, as with other vitamins, can conflict with other medications, and therefore could result in an increased chance of harm or death to someone who takes it because "vitamin supplements are good for your health anyways" without understanding those risks. For example, one list of contraindications from a random Internet result lists:

> ... antacids, blood thinners, antibiotics, aspirin ... drugs for cancer, seizures, high cholesterol ...

Covid-19 is theorized to disrupt blood clotting in the body, and Vitamin K influences blood clotting in the body, so of course there's something worth studying here. But if the results are that Vitamin K supplementation increases harmful Covid-19 clotting, then more people will die from Covid simply because they took Vitamin K after reading a headline in the news.
Agreed its very good, but has same problem as Cron with a single point of failure. I want to add I can handle a single point of failure if all job definitions are in git or a directory of flat files.
> As the article stated, many of these universities did give partial refunds. The students are demanding even more refunds while still collecting the education.

To be clear, the article doesn't state that partial refunds of tuition have been offered, but that "many did offer partial refunds of dorm and activities fees."

I don't believe they are opening themselves up to any legal liability. See [1] and links for a disturbing list of recent examples of police receiving qualified immunity. One example from the article:

> On May 18, the court turned away three of these appeals, including a jaw-dropping case in which police were granted qualified immunity after literally stealing $225,000. (There is no clearly established right not to be robbed by cops, the court held.)

I have the same question, I'm writing a whitepaper (a useful one, with how-to steps things and supporting code), and I cast about looking for a style guide and format for "whitepaper". Imagine my surprise when I found a site from someone who calls himself "the whitepaper guy" -- he writes whitepapers for hire, for anyone, any business. I'm made to realize it's marketing under a veneer of tech information exchange.

What amounts to genuine tech exchange these days, as it appears to me, are mostly PowerPoint presentations at conferences. The formal docs are man pages, and probably RFCs, the informal docs are some guy's blog or a single blog page. The project's README.md are helpful as well but they conform to the individual and not any style. Serious tech papers conform to scientific and research publication style, and even then style guide has more to do with citations. There's nothing standard and easy to reach for in the business-technology intersection.
And that's a bad thing, but I'm sure you'd agree the right solution isn't for the police to permit lots of crime in poor neighborhoods.
I could be wrong but:

Wouldn't "contractor at Google" still look great on a resume? Obviously not as great as having been a FTE, but I'd think it would still be a positive differentiator.

And as you said, there is the possibility of being flipped to FTE. Does this apply to SWEs too, and if so, is that a way to circumvent the dreaded and notorious leetcode style "Google Interview"? If so, combined with the first point above, seems like it would be worth playing the odds, considering going in the front door via the usual FTE SWE interview process is a huge gamble anyways.
And this is why trump does what he does. There are actually people that thinks looters should just be shot.
"Some of the would-be contractors left stable, full-time jobs once they received an employment offer at Google and are now searching for work in a difficult labor market."

This is a good example of why it's a good idea for agencies and independents to write penalty clauses into contracts, so that if the hiring company rescinds the agreement, they must compensate the contractor for lost opportunity costs.

(On a side note, "employment offer at Google" is a bit misleading; the employer is typically an agency, not Google.)

This requires a huge correlation != causation flag.

The article briefly mentions this, noting that it’s possible vitamin D is just a sign of a healthy person, so of course they’ll do better with COVID. Another correlation that doesn’t get discussed whenever vitamin D comes up is that people with darker skin generally have less vitamin D, because our skin doesn’t absorb sunlight as much. We also know that COVID is disproportionately hitting colored neighborhoods in the US. Is that just because of vitamin D differences? Who knows!

By the way, if you are a person of color, you probably need vitamin D supplements. The recommended doses are for white people, so adjust accordingly.
