I'm not sure what the problem is. No one can be can make a statement about any bad thing unless they make statements about about all bad things equally?

Op of the article assumes that you have to be cash flow positive to operate or even IPO. This is false on so many levels. Just look around so many companies exist today which were not cash flow positive at the IPO or even after IPO...Amazon, Tesla to name a few.
I applaud your efforts, but the selection of games I see (at first glance to be honest) does not seem to appeal to me.

Is it a coincidence the first games I see are all 'scantily-clad-chesty-wizard-princesses' themed games?

Presumption of innocence is a principle, not computer code.
That makes sense. It is mostly the O(n) rerendering which is expensive, not the array copy. With regards to superficial/syntactic issues now, I just don't see the advantage of:

`setState('list', state.list.length, newItem);`

over

`list.push(newItem);`

Considering that the two operations can be otherwise equivalent when using proxies (from what I understand).
Rent control is trumpeted as some sort of protection for low-income people, but it actually has no such provisions that make it available to, or targets such people. The only beneficiaries of rent-control are people who happen to be incumbent residents.
Docker is an invaluable tool, but it's a general purpose one. It's good for Python because it's good for everything.

Indeed! I think another option is financialization through investment banks wherein the money is used in all sorts of investment vehicles such as forex trading, futures/options, bonds, hedge funds and whatnot. There's been a steady increase of such companies it seems.

So they've stopped using twitter for a week or two, but are still running an email list. That's nice to signal they're in solidarity I guess? I mean, what is the downside for them here? A for short time some casual Rust enthusiasts won't see news?
I agree this is a weak comment. My takeaway is that Hertz seems irredeemable as a consumer and that alternatives exist.

> Also, people greatly overestimate how easy it is for others to actually find new jobs.

I don't. I am jobless for one month now and have been semi-actively looking for a job for two-three months. I never worked so hard for free in my life! I know exactly what you mean when you say it's really hard. Many people might underestimate it... but I don't.

My point was -- still is -- those people should not virtue signal if they can't put their wallet where their mouth is. Ask yourself "am I willing to leave this cosy position because I disagree with the policy of my employer?" -- and if the answer is no then IMO you should just save your disagreement for yourself.
Not seeing anything similar on /r/rust, or the official forum. This twitter account barely tweets at all, it's like they want to send a message, but don't want to actually inconvenience anybody.
> umm, read the entire line.. I clearly states "many people say that is... then they need" in this context that is clearly an opinion that people are taking on CDA 230,

You used weasel words to imply that 230 requires neutrality, which it clearly does not. If you want to make a prudential argument about what the law should do, do it directly. Don’t hide behind “many people”.

> The very fact that CDA230 exists is government injecting itself into the market place

No, 230 is allowing the market to decide, not the courts. That in fact is what judicial conservatism is supposed to be about; letting the markets decide and not the courts. Without 230, all online action would be subject to civil lawsuit, and I personally don’t want the judiciary to have final say over what is and is not allowed online.

> Incorrect, forcing companies to abide by the 1st amendment would in no way grant the government the authority to decide which forms of speech is protected.

You have already said that companies should be allowed to moderate violent speech; except most forms of violent speech are actually protected! So you are saying that the government should shield some protected speech, but not others. Where, pray tell, do you draw the line? And who draws it? And how do you survive the constitutional challenge from say, porn makers who argue that their protected speech should also be censorship proof?

> allowing Authoritarian left wing Silicon Valley companies that enjoy market dominance largely on the back of government regulations

This is the kind of argument that works well on people who agree with you, and sound like utter jibberish to everyone else.

> I would equally support a total repeal of the CDA and have no liability shield

Enjoy total moderation then! If Twitter comes liable for defamatory content posted on their site, they are going to clamp down on politics hard. Why risk it?

As an added bit of irony, without 230 Trump’s account would have been banned in 30s flat; way too much risk of a lawsuit.

We have this problem at Mozilla. The Firefox codebase is a monorepo and source of truth for the WebRender project which lives in a subtree. The source of truth used to be a separate github repo and it was synced into the monorepo regularly but we flipped that around and now we sync back out to the github repo. PRs do come in against the github repo and we have a bit of ad-hoc tooling that imports the PR into our monorepo's code submission flow (bugzilla+phabricator). It lands in the monorepo assuming it passes review and tests, and then gets synced back to the github repo.

That being said the tooling we have is not great - there's still some manual steps in this flow, and it's not ideal.

For the webgpu project that's in a similar situation but gets a lot more external contributions, we will eventually try some sort of two-way sync.

So sorry I don't have a good solution for you but you're not alone with respect to this problem :)
> “We’re too old to play those games,” Mr. Zhu said. “It’s too difficult for us. We were just looking for basic income.”

While I feel bad for the outcome these people have found themselves in, who looks at any sort of derivative as a source of "basic income"? There are very well established investment vehicles for generating safe returns, so why would someone expect that something returning some huge multiple on top of that to be a safe bet? I don't think that the ideal solution to this is to restrict access to certain investments behind something like the "accredited investor" designation, but that situations like this occur and the fact that Mr. Zhu is suing his broker over it make me understand why that designation exists.
Probably a secondary random evaluation, and removal of unethical/lazy judges.
I believe they are contrasting the supply of property used for real estate sales vs for rentals. Owners that would have put their properties on the market are supposedly holding off on selling and instead listing them as rental units. An increase in availability of rental units would drive down the price of an apartment.

Indie publisher here. My company publishes mostly how-to guides relating technology, personal finance, and health. In fact this afternoon I am reviewing proofs of a new title written by a surgeon meant to inform patients (and their family members) dealing with thyroid cancer and thyroid nodules. What I and my peers do for a living is nothing like building rocket ships or designing amazing software applications, but it provides information and entertainment for millions of people every day.

Like many people on HN, I regularly use the wayback machine or other parts of the Internet Archive to track the history of websites or read out-of-copyright and public domain works. Sharing this information is important and should be continued.

I also believe in the concept of "Fair Use" for sharing and discussing excerpts of more current works.

But when it comes to outright republishing of in-copyright printed works, the rights of creators and publishers need to be recognized. The Internet Archive decided that its mission trumped these rights and the laws of the United States. Even when it was asked to repeatedly stop, it continued. So here we are today.

Someone earlier asked the question, "Why can't the publishing industry just hurry up and die?"

I'd like to put the question to those HN members who work in tech: How would you feel if someone took your output without permission, whether it's designs or code or something else unique and hard to make? How would you feel if people cheered this on, or called for your demise, suggesting that the world would be a better place without your work?

The traditional publishing industry has been in economic decline for 20 years, with the number of regular readers declining and most retailers on the ropes. Few publishers or authors make much money, yet the output of authors and publishers grows every year thanks to self-publishing and other trends.

And some of the work published every year is fantastic. I sometimes serve as a judge for indie publishing competitions, and it's amazing some of the work that authors and their publishers are putting out, even though very few titles will turn a profit.

Even if you haven't read a book in the past year or two, it's safe to say at some time you did, or your loved ones did, and it informed or delighted you.

Finally, even if you don't personally care for the book industry, try to show some respect for what we're doing, and the legal and business frameworks we need to do what we do.
We do in some aspects.

An example might be Good Samaritan laws. Such laws are intended to reduce bystanders' hesitation to assist in CPR, for fear of being sued or prosecuted for unintentional injury or wrongful death.

The problem here however, is the obvious and rampant abuse of QI...
For modern large companies, employee tenures are typically only a few years and passive ownership (typically via investment funds) even shorter and more diversified, so I don't know which people you're talking about who have their whole life invested in a single company. VC aren't really interested in mom and pop restaurants and flower shops.

I wonder what a bystander can do when they see a police officer doing something like holding a knee on a person's neck for 8 minutes? If you do nothing, Mr. Floyd dies. If you get involved, Mr. Floyd may live but you may be the next person under the knee.

Could a good Samaritan defense for people who interfere with the police in good faith work?

Both of these proposals are going to have worrying knock-on effects. They are both trying to penalize bad actors, instead of trying to incentivize good actors. Do we really make these institutions better by making it harder for "bad" people to work there? Wouldn't it be better to make it easier for "good" people to work there?

I don't have good sound proposals, but bonuses for positive steps might be a good start.

Of course, this is completely different from the idea of QI, which, having worked for the federal government, I can see why it's important. Even if it has been over-applied.

I'd just like to jump in here to point out that most intellectual laborers in the modern world are not paid, at least in terms of a livable wage. Even those intellectual laborers who are paid specifically for intellectual labor, are not paid for writing, for example; they are paid for some other activity with writing as a required side-project.
Your parent poster has a point though -- tech interviews are awfully inconsistent and most people judging you do so based mostly on gut feelings.

You fill questionnaires and do elaborate solutions of rather complex homeworks... only for somebody to judge you by the grey hair in your beard or by you being caught off-guard on only one out of 20-30 questions.
why should government be immune to nuisance suits if there is no precise way to differentiate them from serious suits?

Under the centuries-old principle of sovereign immunity, the government can simply choose not to be liable for anything at all. Sovereign immunity is the default for most countries now, and throughout history.

The US and the countries of the EU are relatively unique in allowing themselves to be sued for damages for their failures.

This is a lovely paper. However, I was disappointed to not see any mentions of Iain M. Banks's Culture universe, which means it misses out on what I think is the most novel approach to spaceship design in literature.

First, The Culture's spaceships are enormous. The largest type we encounter, the General Systems Vehicle, is 200 km long and can house up to 6 billion people; while these serve as habitats for a civilian population, these are still spaceships, capable of moving at great speed.

Secondly, the ships have no physical hull. Instead, their structure is maintained by field manipulation. Banks doesn't go deeper into how this works, but it's clear The Culture has technology to manipulate physical reality similar to classic science fiction "force fields" that allows ships to maintain an atmosphere and protect against physical damage. Notably, in several books, the ships modify both their interior and exterior structure while traveling in order to optimize themselves for some purpose.

Thirdly, an important part of The Culture is that the ships are, in a sense, alive. The Minds, which are the AIs that control them are largely inseparable from the ships they inhabit. Clearly we've had AI-controlled ships before (HAL, Alien's Mother, and so on), but these have always been subservient to humans. With The Culture, a human boarding a ship is a guest of the Mind, and ships don't have captains or comamnders. The only other author I know about who has done anything similar is Anne Leckie.
I’m very confused. Open sourcing makes it an independent project (might as well be external), and that’s necessary for the project to be of use to anyone else (Imagine one of your dependencies being part of someone else’s monorepo). In case that’s successful, you can handle it just like any other library dependency. (How do you do that in your monorepo?)

To elaborate... How can the community participate in the project if it is not a relatively independent project? If things are closely coupled to one person’s monorepo, then presumably the code is not usable for another person. So, for practical purposes, it might as well be just a code dump.
Yes, minus engineering and marketing, they are profitable for now (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23382477), but it's not a good idea. Growing revenues is much better, especially since Uber has competitors who are also trying to grow.
Yes and no. They're the first parties in line to pick apart bankrupt companies. The stockholders are the ones left out in the cold.
My state has basically no gun control. You can buy an AR-15 with no background check from a third party and not get it registered. No registration necessary for open carrying rifles or pistols. We still have one of the lowest crime rates in America. I fail to see the correlation between gun control and gun crime in America.

I think you're out of touch with reality. Most people do not support theft and destruction and violence. Do you?

When people illegally congregate without appropriate permits for protest, or in violation of curfews, or against peaceful orders to disperse, more action must be taken. When requests to stop looting and destruction of property are ignored, more action must be taken. Your reply makes me think you just want anarchy on the streets to be permitted without any deterrent.

Sorry, but most people do not want that. Most protesters also do not want that. And so yes, the police do need to take more definitive action when other methods have failed. This isn't a radical proposal, it is common sense.
My office has announced WFH through the end of 2020, with permission to work from anywhere and no changes to compensation during that time. I would estimate 1/3 of people have moved out of the Bay Area as a result - many moving back home to stay with family or friends. Saving 6 months of Bay Area rent is a big deal.

The folks who haven't moved out of the Bay Area have mostly moved to the distant exurbs, expecting (probably correctly) that even if we do "return to the office" in 2021 they'll likely be able to continue to WFH 2-3 days a week, thus the commute won't be as painful as it would otherwise be.
