It would be unfortunate if future process improvements resulted in fragile CPUs and GPUs. I can sort of imagine Nvidia rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of non-overclocked GPUs aging prematurely, killing used sales and forcing data centers to upgrade to more expensive compute cards.
Australia’s competition regulator, the ACCC, has estimated that Google and Facebook together earn some A$6 billion (US$4 billion) a year from advertising in the country.

Leading news publishers have demanded the two companies pay at least 10% of that money each year to local news organizations.

News organizations want ten percent of FB and Goog's advertising revenue? I guess I do too but this concept is facially absurd.
Secondary markets can definitely influence the price of the underlying asset, especially if they're more liquid.
Pivoting My Job Listing NewsLetter
After careful consideration, I have decided to pivot from being a remote job listing newsletter (1600+ subscribers) based service to a more wider remote work based media service.

There are 3 reasons for this:
1. There are sites that are doing a way better job and there are smaller competitors who are doing it for niche domains. In the current form, Remotists.com is neither here nor there.
2. There is little to no interest from employers to sponsor the newsletter since the audience size is smaller and I am not willing to do things for free till the subscriber count hits that 10k+ number.
3. The sponsorship/advertising options in the current form is very limited.
4. This idea is better suited for a job site than a newsletter.

The job listings will continue to go on for another week.

I had offers from buyers for this newsletter after I showed interest in selling it. But right now, the domain has gained enough juice that it is not worth dropping it for $750.

I would appreciate any thoughts you may have on this.
"Silent majority" is an offensive term to the dumb.
True. But if your target comp over the first four years was hypothetically $900K based on salary+bonus+RSUs and the stock went up significantly during that time you would end up making more. Of course if the stock goes down....

I think I heard that Amazon bases future grants on the assumption that the stock price will increase 15%. But I can tell you that my salary+bonus+RSU when they made an offer was based on the stock price not changing.

However, when you apply for options trading, you have the option to add margin to your account. It’s essentially just a tick box. It appears from the twitter thread that this user unknowingly added margin to his account, traded on margin, then had a really big margin call.
> Having a part time job and trying to go to school full time took a huge toll on them.

Would it have been better to part time both job and college? Instead of 3-4 yrs for a degree, it takes 6-8 years, but you also work part time during.

This route exists for many colleges - why not do this?
Why? I have no sympathy at all News Corp and Nine Entertainment. No one is forcing them to share content on Facebook if they don't like the deal. This is pretty clearly old media trying to shake down new media.

(And tell your friends to stop using Facebook for news and go to a real news site.)
Won’t this just play out the same way it did in Germany and Spain?
Fortunately, my camera is not my adversary so I'm safe.
It's not local news pushing for this, it's being pushed by Murdoch's media empire.

The complaint is more "the title of this link does not reflect anything about how the IETF works or the status of this particular revision of the draft rather".

If you're expecting to get any value from this hacker news story, you need to understand enough of how the IETF works to know what meaning this particular draft has as opposed to any of the previous 6 revisions.

Misc advice from a neurosimilar(?) person:

1. It might help to know you’re not alone (at all). I’m lost and burned out for the (n+1)th time myself.

2. For me at least, recovering from burnout needs to be an active process. Time alone does not seem to heal it, and actually seems to calcify it. I’d try volunteering or some sort of non-work related “work”.

3. Staying up (extremely) late is mostly behavioral for me—e.g. not being satisfied with my day and wishing I had done more, so I cling to the “day” and stay up til the birds chirp. Then I’m stuck in that schedule for a long while. I have no real solution to this and it’s not really advice, it’s just an observation that might resonate.

4. Try not to label yourself in such a way as, “I am ADHD, therefore I cannot do {x, y, z}”. Especially with mental health, it’s more accurate to think of it like, “I have a cluster of symptoms / patterns of behavior that could probably be classified as a type of ADHD”. Some of those patterns you may be able to control directly (like with meds or therapy/strategies/habits), some you may have leverage over indirectly via feedback mechanisms (e.g. relieving underlying sources of anxiety/burnout could help your sleep, which will keep burnout in check).

5. If you’re able, try doing a volunteer trip that forces you to go to bed and get up early. More specifically, if you like the outdoors, do a backcountry trail crew trip. It’s easier to fall asleep when there is social reinforcement, constant physical tiredness, few artificial lights, and plenty of weird sounds in the blackness. I did one week with (trailcrew.org) after an intense burnout period and it had a lot of benefits for me.

6. You could always find a more flexible job (remote, flex schedule, etc). If you work with a healthcare provider, you should be able to get reasonable accommodations—if you’re in the US you have this legal right. Go through HR, not your supervisor. If your company doesn’t have HR (startups?), try working for a megacorp where their incentives and ability to accommodate are probably higher. (PS: “Reasonable” doesn’t mean that it has to make managers feel warm and fuzzy, it just means you can’t insist on, say, teaching schoolchildren between the hours of 8pm-4am, for example. If anyone whines about “fairness”, just say: “I have an alternative work schedule for personal reasons” = “f..k off”). Anyways, don’t set yourself up to get fired because you didn’t arrange for fair accommodations—advocate for yourself.
So the other shoe has finally dropped: If it hasn't been apparent to everyone yet, the vast majority of "anti-tech"/anti-FB articles has been the dying gasps of attempted relevance from an antiquated media ecosystem.

Old media is upset and angry that they no longer have a monopoly on controlling the narrative. They're scared that their business model is no longer viable. They're worried about their loss of credibility (of their own making).

This is just the latest attempt (as blatant as it may be) to wrangle the state to help them survive. Let's see if it'll work.
Surely if the library interface changes the users can change their own code? That's why we have versioning of libraries - so that users of the library can take intelligently new versions into use, and especially so they are aware if (and when) the interface changes.

When you come from a Google search they remove the pay wall apparently. I searched for an extension for specifically the wall street journal since people regularly post workarounds for their site on here and found the leading extension just puts the referrer as a Google search for dozens of sites. They warn you to blacklist any organizations you actually pay for or have a login for since the extension deletes all cookies as well. I assume Facebook works similarly.
I do one piece of content a day on my YT channel. I don't think doing Gary Vee's schedule is realistic for startup founders. You are better off building a great product based on good user research and pushing it on a few key platforms for launch and run a few ad campaigns or blog posts occasionally.

Also his content heavily favours quantity over quality, so I would not try to emulate that.

Can we stop with this BS about police brutality, perhaps we should be more vocal for the criminal's brutality? Which would limit the need of police in the first place?

There are more than 350M interactions of police with citizens in a year, and you found 400 videos - most of them questionable in the definition of brutality.

How about thousands of police officers killed that are protecting us?
Here is the latest case :

If you think their job is easy, please go with them for a daily or a nightly shift.

I'm against any brutality, but you haven't seen the brutality they experience daily and have to follow protocol to protect us and themselves.

I'm immigrant, I lived in different counties and I can tell for a fact that my interactions with the police in the US where the most pleasant and up to the point, compared to the other 5 countries I've lived (East/West EU, South America). Granted I've never done anything illegal/criminal - except traffic violations.

It gives the retailers a better price. The HFTs can quote more tightly (offer smaller spreads) in their dark pools, because they know some large, well-informed hedge fund isn't going to come along and roll them over.

I haven't found Verizon or AT&T to need TURN, but maybe clients on them would if connecting to each other.
One of the most important things those cables do is bypass the N64s built in blur filter. This was basically a unique thing to the N64 in that generation and it really is just a blurring of the video output, like you've smeared vaseline on your screen.

Maybe it made sense on the already kinda distorted consumer TVs of the day as a kind of primitive anti aliasing, I think it's horrible though.

Try These,

- For NextDNS, I thought I saw "Annoyances" but could not find it now. Should have it somewhere.

- Chrome have a plethora of Extensions that "don't care about cookies" or similar. Other than that, as someone else commented, uBlock Origin > Settings > Filters List > Annoyances

Both totally irrelevant to whether or not it's appropriate to punch a handcuffed prisoner in the face while they're not resisting.

If a cop is suffering from PTSD or stress to the point where they can't keep themselves from assaulting a handcuffed prisoner, then I am genuinely very sorry for them, but they're still in the wrong job and they still need to be let go.
Yes, the fact that JSON only does floats is annoying. It is especially bad when I want to store large, high precision numbers, like microsecond timestamps.

The right approach is to treat "high precision floating point numbers" as just another type which cannot be represented by JSON natively, and thus store it as a string. After all, we cannot store dates, binary data or 128-bit integers in JSON either.

You might argue that JSON should support doubles, and dates, and binary strings, and a ton of others -- but this will make it much less portable. If you add a "high precision float" type, then every parser ever will need to support it.

Right now, there is a JSON parsers entirely implemented in a single 3000-line C89 file with no external dependencies. This would be impossible to do with bigger library of data types.
This law would establish de facto unit economics for some to-be-defined unit of news/content consumption. Clever entrepreneurs could then scale up new properties focused on the optimization of whatever that unit is, with much lower overhead/content production costs than traditional media companies. An unintended and potentially quite painful consequence follows for the two named incumbents: tremendous amounts of new, nimble, well-funded competition. Be careful what you wish for.
Well done, you passed the test.
I'd argue that the main driver of volatility over the last few months was the Coronavirus, and not AI...
All one has to do to show up on Google is turn those keywords into an ad. Google's top results are mostly ads. No idea why they're still the top search engine.
Let me just be the first to say fuuuuuuck!!!!!

There is no rule of law if the police can beat the shit out of people without even so much as due process. Yeah, criminals brutalize, even kill, police. You know what happens when they do that? They go to jail. You know what happens when cops do that? Not a goddamn thing.

Congratulations on being a well-to-do immigrant. Please expand your imagination to include centuries of institutionalized racism and decades of brutal policing which black and brown people have suffered under and are fucking fed up now.

We used Google's Error Prone framework. Pros: you get full compiler symbol/type information, in addition to the AST. Cons: you need to build the code to process it (Error Prone runs as a javac plugin), and if you want to do things efficiently then you are restricted to basically a single AST traversal. It's very use-case dependent whether you are better off just using e.g. javaparser.
You're probably mistaking police flash bangs for fireworks. These devices are completely inappropriate for crowd control, but routinely deployed by US police in the protests.

The demand to defund the police the claim that policing is too much of the budget. The demand to disarm the police us the claim that not all cops need to carry a gun. Neither of these is a demand to get rid of police.

The bias/variance trade-off is not really related to extrapolation. Think of a point cloud following a quadratic shape. A linear model will extrapolate terribly.
If you make a hydrocarbon by taking CO2 from the air, and you use a carbon free energy source to do it, then burning that hydrocarbon is net zero carbon. That is, if all your hydrocarbons that you burn were made this way, then the atmospheric carbon doesn't increase because of your activity.

It acts just like a battery.
There are too many laws. If there are too many laws then their monopoly on violence becomes tyrannical.
Nothing immediately jumps out at me as being terribly important, but it's interesting to see how it was initially reported as a "small plane" then became a "commuter type plane" and "twin eng plane", alongside various vague references to an "explosion", or a "fire", and a few speculations that it was a bomb. I've never really thought about how confusing those first few minutes must have been (I was 11 at the time, and didn't see it until after the second plane had crashed, so it was fairly obvious what had happened).

TBH, Excel isn't all that bad UX; the list is simultaneously more complete, more dense and faster to read than the web equivalent. I'd love it if there was an element in HTML for displaying modern data tables directly in the browser (with the ability to sort and pivot them).
I believe strongly that George Floyds death and the reactions thereafter are to a majority of the nation, the same as the 16th Street Church Bombing was in 1963, its a turning point in making people aware of the real costs of our problems with policing.

The fact is, I'm a white dude in my mid-30's, I make a tech salary, and I'm afraid of the police, because an officer with a hair up somewhere could ruin my life for a period of time, if not for good.
And now we wait for Boeing.
It's relatively easy to do in Lua, depending on how you organize modules. Imported libraries are just plain tables (dictionaries) instead of a language-level feature, so hot swapping means just clearing the table and replacing its contents with the ones loaded from disk. I think it is easier to do because there is less magic in the modules system; it's implemented on top of the language itself.

I've used this technique in multiple games written in Lua, as well as a GUI app written with wxLua, and I can't imagine programming a long-running program in Lua again without it.

There are many caveats like stale module local state but they can be circumvented by designing the program from the start to put such state into a separate module which gets preserved. You do also have to modify your program's code to accommodate hot swapping in some cases but I would say the effort is repaid many times over in time saved not having to restart the program and go all the way back to part you're testing again every time you make a change.

I really wish it were easier to do in popular languages like Python but because of the way it interacts with imports I feel like your only chance to get it right is in the early stages of language design. One time I was wanting to program games in Typescript to take advantage of gradual typing but couldn't figure out an equivalent way to do hot reloading like in Lua, so I went with Lua instead. I feel like if more people knew how much benefit it brings from using a language that supports it we might see more mainstream support in new dynamic languages.
Here's hoping. NewsCorp have had a tangibly negative impact on my country, and likely everywhere they operate. If only all they wanted was profit, you could at least understand them. But they seem to want division and violence too. Someone needs to tell Rupert that he can't spend his money in a country that has fallen apart.
In my experience it's pretty common for people to bring up the fact that something isn't morally right in order to imply that it shouldn't be legal. This is, when challenged, usually followed either by evasion or claims that the other person is immoral. Because obviously, if you don't want to ban all immoral things, obviously you're immoral.

So some people bring up the founding principles of our nation and the case law built around it because it's the best kind of common ground - agreed upon societal basis/"social contract" - they can think of to explain why some immoral things should be illegal but some immoral things shouldn't.
A while ago I deleted my Uber/UberEats account (they didn't make it easy btw) because of how utterly unusable their apps were compared to competition. After me and my girlfriend spent 30 minutes trying to order food on 3 different platforms, which has been a repeated experience with them for years, I decided it's time to give up. Same obvious UI/UX bugs as over a year ago - I'm actually dumbfounded at how this is possible, do they even use their own app? To sum up, I tend to look at tech coming from Uber through a somewhat sarcastic lens these days.

To be fair there's way more people filming the police right now than any of those professions so I wouldn't expect the number of mishaps on video to be comparable.
Does it need your employer to be on board with the idea that you want to become a permanent resident? Or can you apply as an individual for a green card?
Often its agency issues. Managers are usually paid in proportion to the size of the thing they manage. So if you have a core product that returns more money than you can reasonably invest back into it, what do you do? You write up a plan about how much synergy you'll unlock by buying/building XYZ and go off empire-building.
Please stop repeating this, it’s total nonsense.
To be fair you are comparing an adversarial job with a cooperative one. A crane operator won't feel unsafe, or confronted by someone he calls hostile. This is no excuse whatsoever for the multitude of outraging problems in the system, but the comparison isn't straightforward.
