L1 are dual intent visas, which means you will be able to seek employment through sponsorship or green card application tho.

Since it’s much easier to get hired and potentially get sponsorship from within the US, So I’m guessing this is why Amazon added the non-compete.
Browsers could pin recent other sites to the bottom of the visible history, so you can still leaf back within a website but moving back to the previous site is also very easy.

A proper noun and a common noun are grammatically different and easily distinguishable. Same for an adjective and a noun. This is why my original comment was specifically about reading comprehension.

I don't believe there's any gain at all to achieve in terms of societal good, therefore any possible damage is going to be greater than zero. I am ready to be called a racist or fascist for this, which would be quite ironic given that my grandparents and great-grandparents had several unpleasant interactions with the Italian fascist party.
Your sign on bonus is paid monthly over two years. The first year you get paid more of it since you only get 5% of your RSUs, the second year you get paid less since you get 15% of your stock vest.

There is no clawback - I checked my paperwork. I think one of my friends told me that he did get part of his bonus when he was first hired. In that case there would probably be a clawback.

> The average web user doesn't know what tabbed browsing is

My anecdotal observations are that this often causes extreme number of tabs. I've seen multiple examples from social media in the last month of people scrolling through their mom's (/little brother's/etc) phone, showing hundreds of tabs, but usually all duplicates of the same dozen or so. I remember seeing similar things firsthand (but not to as great an extent) when the first generation iPad came out. And I've also witnessed the same in offices, where doing something in an app or an existing page will arbitrarily open a new window or tab, leading to an explosion of windows and tabs all hidden beneath the IE11 icon in the Windows taskbar.

By all signs, it seems true that (a) average people don't know what tabs are, and (b) they have a lot of them. So it makes me wonder about your methodology. I used to be a Mozillian, and I remember the less-than-rigorous excuses that Firefox UX folks reached for when backfilling justifications for their design whims.
This type of thing does happen in academia. There is a family of algorithms in constraint programming called AC, and there is AC versions 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,3.1,3.2,3.3,2000,3.1* any several other variants.

These algorithms are (mostly) written by different people. People build on each others work in academia all the timr.

> We moved up our schedule because, last Monday, four commercial publishers chose to sue Internet Archive during a global pandemic.

Did this come as a surprise? Did Internet Archive not expect publishers to sue?

The Archive launched the emergency library during a global pandemic. Lots of people, myself included, said that this was a risky move because they would obviously get sued and it would put not only the Archive but the existing idea of Controlled Digital Lending - which hasn't been clearly established as legal in caselaw - at risk.

They're trying to imply that the publishers are somehow bad people for suing in a pandemic, and sure, the publishers may very well be bad people in general, but IA launched this effort on the grounds that, more or less, the law doesn't matter any more in a pandemic.

> However, this lawsuit is not just about the temporary National Emergency Library. The complaint attacks the concept of any library owning and lending digital books, challenging the very idea of what a library is in the digital world.

That's precisely why we said they shouldn't have done this.

Controlled Digital Lending matches the existing operations of a physical library - there is one paid physical copy per loaned title. Publishers and authors alike like physical libraries because when more people check out books from libraries, more copies get purchased. It stands to reason that they shouldn't mind digital libraries that follow the same principle.

Internet Archive said, the same legal analysis that makes Controlled Digital Lending permissible also makes uncontrolled lending permissible when we decide the world needs it. We can give people unlimited electronic copies of books for one physical copy. The more people who read our books, the fewer purchases happen.

That challenges the very idea of what a library is in the digital world - it breaks the balance that has historically governed how physical libraries work. If I go to my local library and the librarian says "Actually don't bother checking this out, I'll just photocopy the whole book for you and you can keep it," I'm not sure I'd call that a library. It's a useful service for me, of course, at least provided I figure out some way to make sure that the people who write the books I want to read keep getting paid, but it's now something entirely different from a library.
Dear Lord why do we upvote this thinly veiled corporate sales pitch.

So what happens in your method when you hit a major unforeseen issue, as frequently happens in a project? If your prior 2 projects went by without a problem, then you'll still be sitting on a bad estimate.

Yes, after time, this should start to even out with your method, but who keeps the same team or even stays in the same job for more than 3-4 major projects? It's fairly unusual these days. Yes, I know there are some senior devs that stay at the same job for 5 or even 10 years, but their team, and even the company's hiring standards, are likely to chance significantly during that time.

That said, it is an intriguing idea, and one that bears more study. I'm not yet convinced but I may try it out.
I always assumed Git chose "master" as an analogy to audio mastering, thus a hint that the master branch should be the final result of "mixing" other branches. Maybe that's reading too much into it though.
But it is.

The URL bar is a disaster for end users. It's full of random junk that users can't read so they stop trying, which means they can then be tricked by phishing websites hosted on any domain at all. Research shows about 25% of users don't look at the URL bar at all even when typing in passwords, they navigate purely by sight, so it's impossible to stop them being phished. The human cost of the resulting hacking is significant.

The fact that the software industry has routinely prioritised historical inertia, the needs of web developers, and all kinds of other trivialities over the security of billions of people is embarrassing. I'm glad to see the Chrome team finally get a grip on this and make the URL bar actually useful for people.
"The Narrow Land" by Jack Vance kind of dwells on this.
Is Linux going to be next?

Let's ask Mr Torvalds nicely to remove all master / slave references in the Linux kernel because it is 'offensive'. /s

I don't think such a request is practical given the kLOCs of those references which will break other software.
The answer is that, by and large, it doesn't occur to them. I'm a Canadian who spent my college years in America, and was honestly completely aghast at the whole society and most especially how it is reflected in their media and public "discourse" (culture≠media, yes, but it's disingenuous to say that the constant diet of vitriol, propaganda, and pure unreason would have no effect on the national character). It genuinely doesn't occur to them (generally): the country is myopic, and hypocrisy means nothing when you're ignorant of any inconsistency.

(Queue the whataboutism, or deflection, or whichever fallacy of the day)
thank you. Scientists are human, and as flawed as the rest of us. The scientific method doesn't need my faith, but it has it anyway.

> I’ll leave it as an exercise for the reader to calculate how much you would have to save in a 401K over 20 years to have that much at retirement.

When making these calculations, remember:

- lifetime annuity

- include death protection (at least in my state, surviving spouses continue receiving pension payments).

- Everything above $19,500 is fully taxed (...and, in fact, not including tax on that $19.5K isn't even an apples-to-apples comparison).

Anyways, you can add or subtract many tens of thousands to the annual salary equivalent and the point remains the same: without a pension, $100K is not "special person who doesn't need non-compete" money.
Meanwhile, Taiwan kept its economy running because they didn't trust the data that was coming from China and its hand puppet WHO.

https://www.ft.com/content/b59c238c-d004-44a2-bd9f-c5b1e7a5b...

And by the way, the WHO doesn't even recognize Taiwan as shown in this very painful video.

So yeah, my opinion is that the WHO can go screw itself.

How intelligence, population density, friendship affect modern happiness (2016)
Meanwhile searching for the term "kill" returns 75 code results in openzfs/zfs.
I see what you did there, but I still cannot understand your question. I am not bothered by common English spelling mistakes, if that's what you were asking.
Interesting. So hard to find trustworthy people, up to the task of supervising such a large sum of money. Extraordinary protections are certainly needed.
I'm not sure about the utility of the whole thing - I think I'd just like to filter the images (bottom two panes) according to the section of the World I'd zoomed in the top pane. I'd have top-left, World map; bottom-left thumbnails; full-page-right current image. So I could zoom to an area of the World, all images that cover that area would be in the thumbnails, select a thumbnail to view. Ideally if zoomed enough then there might be outlines on the World map that show the imaged areas available.

Cool idea though.

People don't understand what exponential improvement means. GPT-3 is a 175B with B parameter model. Another few rounds of doubling and we could be seeing models spit out short stories and novellas.
> If your CPU have H264 then you shouldn't pay any licenses. You will have it in any CPU everywhere.

Except for software that runs on multiple platforms, which might not have H.264 hardware support (or might not be compatible with WebRTC even if they do exist). If you're anyone other than Safari, you have exactly zero reason to believe you'll be able to run WebRTC without a software implementation of H.264. Software encoding means royalty payments if you're a legitimate business.
We're witnessing mass insanity on levels never thought possible.
I find that having children has made me think deeper on a lot of things, for the simple fact that children ask very difficult questions without having a lot of other context to reference to when explaining. When you can’t use anything besides what your kid has already learned to explain something, you really have to think deeply.

I remember how long it took for my two year old to really grasp the meaning of “tomorrow”. Is it tomorrow yet? When does tomorrow happen? You said something was going to happen tomorrow, and now that thing is happening, so it must be tomorrow now... but then why are you saying something else is going to happen tomorrow? I thought it was tomorrow now!
> saying she was too busy with courtly life to follow his instructions

That's because his instructions were totally extreme even by today's standards. This says nothing about averages and ultimately as a noble she simply did not want to.

>And exercise, the other thing that's nicer for thinking behind doing nothing besides warm water, was also not really a thing for women then

Are you implying that women just sat around not thinking all the time? Because I am too, but for different reasons, and not just men.

The vast majority of people are not interested in thinking beyond the bare minimum. Otherwise we'd have more than a tiny fraction of the population purposefully self learning.
I've not met someone upset about the technical term. It's possible, but it doesn't minimize slavery (more than any technical term minimizes something by making it technical), slaves only follow the master.
If you have to ask, you'll just have to trust it.

List of police violence incidents during George Floyd protests
I’m certifiably a night-owl and definitely not a morning-person (to the point where I employ licensed caregivers to yell at me in the morning - my psychologist recommended it!) - but I wouldn’t attribute it in any way to being “social” - for some reason I just find it significantly easier to be focused, motivated, and productive after 6pm than any time before.

I used to attribute it to my horrible procrastination and how only in the night before a school or uni homework deadline I’d crank something out out of desperation, but it’s still an ongoing habit with my current day-job (er... night-job?) where deadlines aren’t really a thing (I love my boss) but I still feel most-productive in the evenings.

I’m ASD+ADHD[1] too - and I see similar things with other people I know with similar diagnoses. I believe they’re all related.

[1]: I really dislike the “ADHD” label because I’m not hyperactive in any way - or resemble stereotypical symptoms - if I could rename whatever it is I’ve got I’d call it “Motivation deficit” or similar.
Type 2 diabetes: NHS to offer 800-calorie diet treatment (2018)
You can somewhat accomplish this with SQLite stored in S3.

Zappa (python) has a deployment configuration that allows this. It's basically a Lambda that keeps itself alive all the time and for each request, fetches the SQLite DB from S3, does its transaction, and then puts the modified database back on S3.

The upside is it's basically free for low traffic read-only apps, the downside is the obvious problem of write conflicts if you have more than one write-capable user at any given time.

If you were to use the django test framework to generate a new SQLite DB on each request, you'd have what you're talking about.
It’s not “a lie”. They tell you the total comp target and it’s made up of salary+bonus+RSU. You either accept it or you don’t.
> The Archive has data centers in three Californian cities: San Francisco, Redwood City, and Richmond. To prevent losing the data in case of e.g. a natural disaster, the Archive attempts to create copies of (parts of) the collection at more distant locations, currently including the Bibliotheca Alexandrina[notes 5] in Egypt and a facility in Amsterdam.[8] The Archive is a member of the International Internet Preservation Consortium[9] and was officially designated as a library by the state of California in 2007.[notes 6]

Maybe start with more funding to have copies in more countries.
Copy is great! I do a few hundred million row DB reload in a script. No real time pressure, but I did wonder, couldn't this be faster? COPY is really much nicer, I'm pretty sure I'm down to essentially disk read / network / disk write limits vs processing limits.
No one's claiming that McDonald's hamburgers are super healthy and that we should be eating them every day, just that they're no worse the typical home-made burger. But they're also not bad. The problem with the average American diet isn't really the ingredients, but the size.
Because it’s easier to do a PR removing “slave” than to stop buying cheap things made in slave workshops.
Unsurprising that HN can't manage better than the level of pearl-clutching by people invested in maintaining "master/slave terminology" as its discourse.
Open Compound Domain Adaptation
And? It is still a break of the terms of the concent, is it not?

How about an alternative, "you can have sex with me but only if you are single", and someone who is not single lies about it. During sex said person is not going to be single and thus is breaking the terms of concent while sex is happening.
This, exactly. People learn not only when they are forced to, but naturally from observing their environment too. The more opportunities to "spontaneously learn" you take away from them, the less they will learn.

Here's a comment I made from several years ago when Chrome tried to do before what it's trying again now (it's not the first time): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7678729

Maybe this next point is starting to go into the realm of conspiracy theory, but I see far too much evidence of it every day: companies are doing this because they don't want users to learn. They want to keep users naive, docile, and compliant, and thus easier to "herd" for their purposes. They don't want people knowing the truth behind how things work; they would rather "developers" (and only those who explicitly chose to be one --- probably for monetary reasons) learn from their officially sanctioned documentation (which does not tell the whole truth), and not think or discover for themselves.

(I've memorised most of printable ASCII because I did a lot of Asm programming decades ago, so I instantly understood what you mean.)
I think this is a new version of “think of the children” cliché, used to justify lots of questionable things for ages.

Best Background Casting Agencies in New York
I disagree, hiking rough terrain is an excellent time for me to think, personally. I find the stimulation is additive.

Sort of like bouncing a leg or twirling a pen.
Do you need a reliable, efficient way to cast background actors for your films, TV shows, and commercials? A background casting agency can provide you with the background actors you need.
"The result is an artificial idiot savant that can excel at well-bounded tasks, but can get things very wrong if faced with unexpected input."

I think this gets to the core of what is still a limitation of current technologies. Venturing into the unknown is still a deeply relevant task that seems unlikely to be replaced by computers anytime soon.
I made this site over a weekend as a side project when discussing how hard it is to help new followers quickly get up to speed on what you've tweeted about over the years since you can only have 1 pinned tweet.

No, I read the article. Is a for-loop to send each scraped account a DM with pre-written text contents particularly hard in Twitter? I know they've locked down their API a bit, do they also do something to fight with Selenium or whatever headless-browser of choice someone would want to use?

This is such a hyperbolic response that it’s hard to actually engage with it; I’m not sure that this is helping the conversation at all.
Every time there’s a discussion about synthetic carbon fuels, there’s the same frustrating replies. I want to reply to those with one statement: the whole point is to use excess power from solar/wind. There’s always the same replies pointing out how it’s more efficient to use the power directly in EV batteries, laws of thermodynamics, and other similar things. Those completely miss the point. Solar/wind is going exponential and we have a big problem of storing excess power. Massive really massive amounts of batteries is one option. But converting that into carbon fuels that work directly in existing infrastructure and is effectively carbon neutral is a good option too. That’s where the discussion should be, not pointless arguments about efficiency of EVs.
why would I care about the op, aps, sourceid and ie?

Because they may be tracking identifiers...

...which I could argue is precisely why they don't want you to know. I always sanitise URLs when I share them with others, because of such things.
Since we'd be moving from legal protection to technical protection, would we also figure out some technical means whereby this would be accessible by Internet Archive only? Or would all of us be given a way to publish anything we want in a way that makes it accessible to the whole world but no government can impede? Would that then include sealed court records, intimate photos, performance reviews, credit card numbers, and so forth?
Probably at least as secure and very likely moreso than pretty much any other option. cite as "random redneck off the internet" and due yer own dilligencing, of course.

I must say its preferable for plain old SMS messaging, if nothing else, for the options it offers and the stable sane behavior.
Issues like large-WAL and the need for periodic blocking maintenance (e.g. vacuum, to free space and un-interleave data) are excellent reasons to aggressively try to keep your insert/trigger/etc logic as simple as possible. In all databases.

When it's simple enough, you can safely abstract over the DB and do stuff like:

1) maintain an in-memory operation-queue, so you can copy the DB when idle, vacuum as long as necessary on the copy, and then switch to the vacuumed copy after replaying the queue. (SQLite allows only a single writer, so statement-replay is safe, unlike concurrent-writer databases in some cases since you can't recreate the DB's row-visibility logic)

2) in-memory caches can alleviate a lot of load, but are hideously difficult or impossible to maintain if you allow complex or DB-only insertion logic (e.g. 'on conflict' rules). Simple table+rowid based caches can be utterly trivial and correct if you have nothing complex. Or if you really want, a full-blown lambda architecture is possible, and sometimes not even very difficult.

3) simple logic almost always completes more quickly in the DB, and long-running transactions are the bane of your DB's existence, causing large WALs, worse contention, etc. Aim to keep small atomic operations safe, e.g.: don't require a transaction to modify 100k records correctly, allow each one to be atomic. Then you can batch in any way you please, optimizing for throughput or non-blocking-ness as desired.

Complex queries are far safer since you can just ignore your abstraction layer. But complex modifications are worth avoiding whenever possible.
Yet, the darn thing still can't reason.
Why Low Pay in the Games Industry Leads to Bad Games

Another simple trick is to really make a strong effort to learn the jargon of whatever you are learning. It can seem corny from the outside at first, and if you start using jargon with non-enthusiasts, you might not get the best reactions. But learning the ontology of a topic can help balance between finding unknown unknowns through exploration ("I just need to do it and get my hands dirty to learn") and filling in known gaps in your mental knowledge/skill framework. (Disclaimer: I learned this concept from Tim Ferriss' book, 4 Hour Chef)
