"In my company, the diversity and inclusion initiatives were characterized by childish activities"

You may have some wires understandably crossed. Companies frequently end up hiring in people for all sorts of initiatives that end up doing some really childish stuff. Diversity and inclusion do not particularly stick out on this front. This is where we end up with the mockery around "trust falls" and that sort of thing, which are childish "team-building" activities, and have you ever seen a corporate presentation on how to do better sales? Yeowzers. It's not specifically a diversity/inclusion thing, it's all the corporations.

On the other side, there is a solid reason to use whimsical, or more accurately, highly visual and emotional analogies for that sort of thing: They're the things our brains remember. You'll encounter that sort of thing in a lot of foreign language courses, memorizing alphabets or symbols with mnemonics meant to engage emotional and visual memories around the item as a bootstrap towards remembering what it is.

That said, it is true these whimsical analogies travel poorly, because your cognitive association network will be different than everybody else's. I've got some mnemonics in my language I'm studying around my kid's pet bird and my wife's interactions with her parents; obviously they wouldn't be very meaningful to you if I tried to give them to you to use as your own association. You ought to make them up yourself for maximum effect. But, my main point here is that they aren't intrinsically silly, they are a legitimate way to remember otherwise difficult-to-remember things. After a decade of programming the meaning of curly braces may be obvious, but it isn't at first.
I lived in Germany for years, and this is absolutely the case. Don’t mess with torrents in Germany without a VPN.

Except for those Linux ISOs, of course.
One point I love about having many bosses is that the more numerous they are, the more you can get away with ignoring any single one. When I was consulting, I always tried to keep a few gigs going at different levels. That way if one client wanted something insane or dangerous, I could say, "Gosh, so busy!" and move along.

Paradoxically, having the ability to say no meant I didn't have to say it very much. When a client wanted something foolish, I could say confidently, "I don't think that's in your best interests," and explain why without fear.
It's telling that what you said is such an unpopular sentiment when the article is literally about those of us who won't settle.

My websites are behind Cloudflare. If not Cloudflare then I'd use another CDN. Therefore I don't have logs.

Also I disagree about the slowness.

The script is loaded asynchrously, it does not block the page and I measure my loading times, which are really good actually. Just did a measurement and my front-page loads in 271 ms and this includes all network requests, including Matomo.

I don't think this is a real concern, but rather a premature optimization. If GoAccess works for you, great, but that's not something I can use due to CDN.

> as a user I would NEVER use something other than Apple's payment solution in the App Store

Would you choose to pay Hey's subscription $142/year to be able to pay on the App Store, instead of $100/year paying on the web? Or if it was available, would you pay Adobe's Creative Cloud for $906/year in the App Store or $636 on the web?

I'd choose to pay slightly more for the convenience for very small subscriptions too. But for large ones that's too much difference.
Yeah -- we use Python Black and it's a blessing. The entire purpose was to replace linting so that we could have something extremely opinionated so that people could stop arguing.

This seems like a cool tool, but I don't know if I would use it at this point. I would _pay_ for having autoformatters from Github -- it was a pain to set it up and would love to just enable on new projects.

I used to work at an ISP, and once a month I would stuff envelopes with DMCA letters. I can assure you, that the only thing your ISP is doing with this letters is laughing at whatever porn you downloaded. They're just a scare tactic, and if you get one, you can almost certainly ignore it.
That does not really help China.

To you and the parent, this is why I think we see large antibody counts in prison and military populations while not have as many cases. Folks were infected with a very small initial viral load and their immune systems fought it off and developed antibodies.

This is also why we see young healthy medical personnel die from the disease, 1) their immune system is degraded from harsh working conditions 2) the viral loads are many multiples higher from basically getting coughed in the face all day long

> We're not ignoring the guidance, it's just such a grey area when it comes to PECR / ePrivacy. Even the ICO's guidance, it talks about "cookie-like" technology. Our technology isn't cookie-like. And our processing isn't cookie-like either. We've had lawyers look at our documentation and all of them have said it's a grey area.

That sounds like you are trying to pick and choose the bits you want to hear :)

There have been several ammendments since the original ePrivacy guidance. There is at least one such directive that is very explicit about fingerprinting specifically. If doesn't use ambiguous language, it states clearly that consent is required for fingerprinting.

As I said, I personally think it's just bonkers, and I think your service is absolutely in the spirit of the ePrivacy rules. But you can't say the rules on fingerprinting are not clear.

I'm keen to see what you've got coming, as the only way I see to avoid consent is not to associate identifiers with users at all - so each page hit would be a completely independent object. Can you say anything about your plans here?
The title belies the truth that those doses of hydroxychloroquine were and are still not useless. It is used to treat Lupus and other conditions. The stockpiling caused prices at one point to nearly double and created shortage for people with disabilities. This needs to be considered beyond the obvious material waste. How many people need to be hurt before accountability is finally laid upon the leadership of this nation?

Why was this downvoted, is it fake or otherwise misleading? I'm not using Facebook or from the USA so I'm out of the loop on the original and wouldn't be able to tell. I'd like to see the ad in question but this makes me wonder what's up with this (helpful seeming) comment.
Honestly, don’t regret not starting a business. It’s about 1000 times harder than you think it is, despite all the glamor and wealth that 1% of the people achieve. Doing a startup takes a certain personality type. I am not that personality type. I joined a startup and saw the type of madness that was occurring and that made me understand how ill suited I was to start my own company.

My guess is that if you didn’t already start one at this point, you probably don’t have the proper personality type in the first place. Founders don’t need the opportunity, then just go for it, and it’s that type of spirit that keeps them going through all the ups and downs.
This article is based on an irredeemably flawed book ("Democracy in Chains"), which has been completely discredited by a series of prominent reviewers.[1][2] There are many more reviews which reveal the scope of fabrication in this book, but it suffices to say that the work should be considered 'fiction', perhaps in the 'fantasy' category.

Or maybe it's that many people who did those things and became successful with it are from privileged positions that allowed them to do such things...

And so if we lifted people into positions where they didn't feel like their basic needs would be taken away if they didn't work some job making money then they could experiment and do things that were less transactional... But until we have that Star Trek future - we gonna be transactional.

It's a good exercise to look at who is currently in jail on a given night in the US and decide for yourself how much incarceration could be eliminated. I say the goal should be 100%, but it might take 100 years and might stall out before 100%. That's fine by me.

But maybe you see this only as 50%. I'd be surprised if you did your own research though and came up with only 5%.

Here's a good starting point of who is in jail and why.

As long as you don’t use encrypted DNS (e.g. DoH) it doesn’t matter which DNS server you use - the ISP sees your requests and the replies, and the sees you accessing the returned IP within 10 seconds.

Also, unless it’s behind Cloudflare. Most nontrivial sites today have a unique IP so even with DoH there’s a good probability any specific site will be identified.

If you want your ISP to stay ignorant of where you surf, you MUsT have a VPN.
I wondered if there was a catch too so I started by buying one, and then expanding from there only after I saw it could work. It does feel strange buying the houses for so cheap, but I wouldn't say I feel any guilt or regret about the prices of the Detroit market. The price is what it is so I don't fault myself for getting a deal. As for $800 a month, for a freshly renovated 3 bedroom home I think the tenants aren't doing too badly either.

To the question about banking services, it's just not profitable to give mortgages on 30K homes for banks so they don't bother generally.
I agree with the general sentiment of frontend tooling becoming more complex over time, but the thing about features like this one is that you don't ever have to use them or even think about them if you don't need to. But they sure are nice to have if you do need them.

Personally, I'm looking forward to implementing this at work, but I don't think I'll ever touch it for my personal projects.
Yes. I was asking if they could consider adding a code formatter too.

That sort of logic doesn't work in cases like this, and it leads to a lot of misperceptions. The readership (and votership) is a large statistical cloud, with wide variance of views and feelings and assumptions. It's not only natural but inevitable that some take one angle and some take another. The people who upvoted this article are likely to have done so for straightforward reasons, such as that they think it's interesting and want to see it discussed.

The GP comment probably wouldn't have been downvoted if it had been more substantive. It's a bit hard to read where it's coming from, "this is such a defeated mindset" has a touch of name-calling about it (which is against the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), "you're welcome to it all you want" has a touch of personal attack about it, and "some of us aren't willing to settle" would make a fine opening for saying more—like what that means, and why, and above all, sharing some of the experience that has led to that position—but it doesn't make a good closing for a one-liner.
I've never seen comments get downvoted so quickly on HN. I'd be curious if the admins have seen any interesting patterns lately.

Why do you think that? RenTech has been pretty stable in its fund offerings over the last 20 or so years. It's not like Simons to simply close the fund and start over from one bad year. Though, I'm sure the investors are very upset, as one is usually relying on the pure alpha part of their portfolio to have the lowest volatility and be the rock they can weather market downturns with. To make matters worse, often times investors cut their bond allocations for pure alpha in order to eek out a little bit higher return. T-notes have done very well, with yields dropping like a rock. It must hurt to have all your supposedly uncorrelated allocations all tank at the same time!
I appreciate your honesty but I am not willing to pursue this as I feel it directly perpetuates a lot of historic inequality.
Wars have a way of getting out of hand. A nation may go to war over a fairly realistic goal, only to find itself mired in a conflict it cannot exit that is being escalated by forces beyond its control.
The goal of micro-frontends (different teams being able to deploy "their" parts of an application) is nice and all, but I still don't see how this is going to work when the shared modules release breaking changes. So now all those different teams that work on different parts of the same applications will still need to do one massively coordinated release in which they all migrate to the newer version at the same time, and a single team delaying things can put the work of all other teams on hold.

I have a business partner who is from Detroit (but doesn't live there), and still has some family there. So they are a fallback when there is a true emergency. For day to day property management and maintenance we have a network of contractors that we found on Craigslist or through referrals. Some of them stole from us or did bad work, but we didn't rehire, so eventually we developed strong relationships with reliable people.

This is something that keeps coming back to me either as a feature or as a product of some kind - a tool that can stop this from getting in our way.

The simplest and safest would be to apply the formatter to both the old and the new copy before diffing it. It ceases to be the actual difference at that point, but there are definitely two distinct use cases for diffs - one for humans to read and one for the machine to apply.

The other case that would be amazing but even more of a stretch would be to rewrite the entire history. It seems like there is a spot for "different views of history" and you could do a no-difference merge to join the to histories as of now so that the actual history did not get lost. As I write this, it starts to sound like just a caching system for the idea above.

This needs a highly reliable formatter of course... I have on occasion had code broken when formatting.
The original form of the Presidential Surveillance Program didn't compel service providers to share this metadata. The providers willingly shared it. There is a reference to a service provider backing out of the agreement several years after it started stating they would feel more comfortable continuing to share their data if the government compelled them.

This may have changed since 2013.

> can't spend my extremely finite time and resources howling at the moon and railing against a monolithic machine that cares nothing for justice or humanity

This is not an argument in good faith.

You can stand against racism without "howling at the moon", this is almost a dog whistle at this point for people saying that not standing for racism means being loud and brash, as if black people don't know any other way to stand tall. It's legitimately sad to see one of my own people use it.

You don't need to be chanting at a protest on the lawn of the White House to not "accept racism". It's a valid form of standing tall, but realistically, not everyone can, or is willing to do that.

But turning down opportunities with parties don't show any effort at all at diversity (or even worse, show racial bias), being willing to put people on the spot for their actions even if it comes at personal risk or embarrassment, being willing to actively advocate for diversity in cases where you have power to do so.

There are so many ways at a personal level to not just accept the state of things that are not "all consuming", to act otherwise means you're not even interested in having a genuine conversation on the matter, and just comes as an attempt at post-hoc rationalization of giving up.
WH response was that it's a symbol used by antifa.

"“The inverted red triangle is a symbol used by Antifa, so it was included in an ad about Antifa. We would note that Facebook still has an inverted red triangle emoji in use, which looks exactly the same, so it’s curious that they would target only this ad. The image is also not included in the Anti-Defamation League’s database of symbols of hate. But it is ironic that it took a Trump ad to force the media to implicitly concede that Antifa is a hate group.”
Right. Not sure why you are getting downvoted. This is true that people are afraid of root causes. And I think it's relevant to Hacker News because this is a community that tends to like first principle thinking.
> What I do regret is never finishing my side projects.

Just want to say I finally got out of that prison, and it's pretty nice. The trick for me was releasing way, way before I felt like I was ready. E.g., my little Twitter bot brings me a fair bit of pleasure: https://twitter.com/sfships

I actually had much bigger ambitions; the Twitter bot was my grudging compromise. I still hope to get to those bigger plans, but it's really satisfying to see actual people getting actual value. It's given me the energy to go back and productionize the infrastructure. Once that's done, I should be well placed to do a bit more.
