You think they were having a bad time on Epstien's island? You really think they're so unhappy about being horrible?
What was Admiral Ackbar's famous quote?
that's just one side of the possible story. if housing does drop, other sectors are probably dropping as well. supply might increase as over-leveraged "investors" need to get liquid. that "army of millennials" will feel much less secure at that point so a large portion may decide now is not the time.
This type of ruling may have some unintended consequences. If the court gives the green thumb to this type of executive order abuse, who is to say that the current president won't use this same tactic to tie the hands of the next president?

Blood type phenotype correlates nearly exactly one to one with their synthesis gene genotype, so this semantic distinction is not very important.

I wouldn't put this on the Court. They're not supposed to rule on questions that aren't before them.

DACA opponents are welcome to file suit against DACA alleging it was illegally created/implemented. That they relied on Trump to just rescind it, and got burned by the administration's incompetence in doing so, is on them, not the Court.

Sure, we’ve only discussed one aspect because it’s the only one that you chose to describe (and IMO, invent).
Over many years, the current leadership have set the culture. They decide who to keep and who to let go. People may nibble at the hand that feeds them, for necessary upwards feedback, but they generally refrain from outright biting it. So fresh bait straight from college is always easiest prey.

In essence, how people treat newcomers, especially vulnerable ones, speaks volumes about the values and culture already set in the organization. There are organizations and countries where people can expect nothing good from leadership.

A majority cares little about privacy: maybe. 99%: where's your proof? Or is this part of the 73.6% of the made-up statistics?

The other thing that is wrong with this sentiment is that "privacy" is not a binary thing: you don't "have privacy" or "not have privacy". You don't "want it" or "not want it".

Privacy and the need for it, is heavily dependent on context. You want more privacy when watching porn than when watching some sports. You want more privacy when you are a minority than when you are part of the ruling class. And so on.

Edit: so a person wanting to escape religion and seeking online help on how to do so needs different privacy than three friends having an online beer. Everyone has moments and time where they need (some) privacy. So probably 99% (a made up statistic) has a need to replace software in some (rare) context, over privacy matters.
So you're basically saying black people should just accept racism is a thing and move on?

If people can, good for them. If not, I don't feel in any position to tell people that obsessing over injustices that I'm not experiencing makes zero sense.
Yes, by "open" I obviously mean "people can enter and exit it". A country with indefinitely closed borders is not "open", it's North Korea.

Perhaps your argument is that we've been TOO successful relative to the rest of the world? Perhaps we should have let the disease run rampant bit longer.

There's no success in merely delaying the inevitable. It's an infectious disease, it can't be kept out forever. The NZ strategy is effectively to seal itself off from the world and hope some cure or vaccine is developed before it re-opens, which is a terrible decision given that these sorts of viruses often never have vaccines.

Until the NZ population gets over its fear, there will continue to be events like this one:

https://globalnews.ca/news/7079388/new-zealand-third-new-cas...

NZ will eventually re-open and let the disease go, because it's not actually any worse than many other viruses. Not because it's some sort of genius success story.
Article was updated. It's a scam.
Since those genes are 99.9% accurate predictors of blood type, I think that's a distinction without a difference.
Biggest oof
Apple's claims of a "free ride" frankly seem ludicrous. There seem to me to be 3 issues at hand here.

1. The magnitude of the 30% charge, and the level of justification this has.

2. The ability for Apple to itself be a provider/competitor to those on the marketplace, such that they are not paying this 30% fee (and can immediately be 30% cheaper).

3. Whether Apple should be allowed to run a marketplace that operates on a whim, unwritten and ever-changing rules, informal policies, and no significant judicial remedies - if Government tried to retrospectively change the rules on you, you can sue them, and win. Apple can decide to eject you from its platform at its whim, and you are forced to accept this to use the platform.
So basically you've done the same as super linter at your company. But now, nobody else has to go through the pain of setting all of the exemplars up, because you get nice defaults, everything included for free from super linter.

If a train company back in 1850 had a near monopoly in the whole country or a whole state and decided who could or not use their "platform" based on what they say, would it be alright?
They sale ads. If no advertiser wants to put an ad on a website, fine. But they can't decide to not offer their service.
yes, this is explicitly taught in business school--that companies and managers should strive to develop intrinsic over extrinsic motivation (lke pay), to both increase productivity and create a good working environment (whether students paid much attention is a different matter).
Our setup was you needed one person to approve a merge request. These guys were buddies and would fast-track approvals. Also at that point, there were ~10 contributors to the code base, so things moved quickly.

Other product within the company had a more formal code ownership structure, but this project was only two years old. So there were no owners, other than for infrastructure.
So much for the "do not change" comments. I love these archaeological digs into Unix history.

Can you link to something that goes into more details about this principle, or give us some search terms? Stated as broadly as you have done, it doesn't sound right to me.
I don't understand why people are putting moral dimensions on this business conflict. If you don't like Apple's platform or business practices, don't use it. All the users and developers are there by choice. Their alternatives were worse.

And Apple didn't make them worse. I was active in the mobile development world starting in 1999. It was awful.

Would I like it if Apple took a lower cut? Sure. I would prefer a 5% cut.

Do I want world's governments coming in and imposing more terms on these markets? No. Businesses respond to the expressed preferences of consumers and other businesses, whereas world governments have, in practice, far weaker accountability mechanisms.
golangci-lint already supports gofmt. You just need to turn it on.
I've had this same practice with a team of two that has moved with me to different orgs over time. Had no idea it's a norm and followed by big companies.

My motive was exactly this. If you remove the "am i paid enough" concern, it allows talented engineers to focus at the job at hand and deliver really impactful outcomes
I thought lots of existing mines had ore containing them, but can't make a profit extracting them, so they don't. How quickly such extraction/refining steps could be added, I don't know. (Am far from an expert though!)

Yeah, you have the theoretical potential to not comply with a national security letter and just go public. Good luck with that.
Thanks for posting this. I think I read about this in an HN thread years ago, but I could not remember the name.
I'm old enough to have learned how to set type by hand, in a composing stick, in a high school shop class. We printed stationary, cards, etc, as part of the assignments. And I still remember the ordering of the letters in the "California Job Case." We took a field trip out to Newsday, a Long Island newspaper, to see their hot-type machines (and probably breathed in a lot of lead!)
Just because they're not the same group as the software developers that make OpenCore doesn't mean that it's a scam in the hardware-for-sale sense. I mean, based on their approach to copyright law, it makes sense that they would have a similar reverence for trademarks.
If China were go to war with Taiwan, US would be involved in a civil war in China de jure if it wants to intervene.

Because US recognize both mainland China and Taiwan as one 'China', without specifying which. The internet would like to tell you that China and Taiwan are totally different country but US policy doesn't recognize that.

And changing that policy one week into the conflict does not look good on the optics.
I think the difference here is that Apple is the only retailer for someone to install an app onto an iOS device. It prohibits anyone else from setting up a retailer, through policy-based (not technical) restrictions.

You cannot install an app on an iOS device, except from their store. Apple won't let you install an alternative store. Therefore their app store is a monopoly store, and should be regulated as such. (Is the argument being levelled against them.)
Zefrank's video on brain crack really summarizes the core idea of this article.
This doesn't track, though, because this happens within the same company. It's not uncommon to struggle to get a small raise, and then have the same manager hire someone new for a much higher salary.
Like. I use a (very primitive) Forth based language for laser machining every day. Despite how poor the implementation is (it was hobbled together over many years by novice programmers) it is amazingly productive. RPNs don't get enough love.
It's not unique in the economy; it's not even unique in the software economy: video game consoles have the business model that they sell the hardware and make money by having a monopoly on the software that runs on them.

The questions are, do we want phones to be like video game consoles with a walled-garden marketplace, or like general purpose computers where the manufacturer does not exert control over the entire software economy. There are arguments for both, but I think the former stifles innovation.
So much this. I had strong opinions on style until I found good autoformatters. Now I write horribly unformatted code and it comes out super clean and organized as soon as I hit save. Now I don’t even really care what the standard is because it only affect reading code.
There seems to be a universal law of software systems that if small, self-contained subsystems exist - someone will glom them all together into an Uber-system, and vice versa. It’s inescapable.
And then you'd need to figure out how to install that new version side-by-side with the existing one, or otherwise you will upgrade and break the existing setup of a lot of people. That is also not always trivial, especially if you have an existing setup like e.g. system python + pyenv managed python. Should the linters then be installed via the system package manager? How would you handle that across many different platforms? And now you multiply all that effort by the number of linters you are packaging, because almost none of them share a common toolchain.

It just opens a whole box of problems, that do nothing to actually further the tool you are building.
I'm sure Nelson Mandela, MLK, and Rosa Parks really would've done well with this advice.
I took a time and read it and also read much more.

It is a good example of "he said she said". But Igor Ashmanov considers Rosenberg a good source on Durov brothers and lets say information above is correct.

That means that Durov is used a part of the real estate he had access to to help development of Telegram. It does not mean that Durov is (not) affiliated with Russian government it just means that for Durov it is useful to use Russian real estate he knows and adores and to use Russian talent.

It looks like Telegram servers are somewhere in Europe, BTW.

How long have you lived there, and how old is the property? And how long will you own? Selling a home is incredibly expensive.
I find that most COBOL positions want experts with lots of experience and knowledge of the company structure and JCL.

One other thing, most companies that still use this language are older/larger companies (like finance). They tend to be less forgiving in their background checks.
> This should just be the default assumption at this point and we should talk about if that is ok for society, not keep feigning surprise at the offense of the day.

This is almost good, but doesn't take into account the fact that everything is equally like this. The sociology professor who constantly tweets about racial hatred makes their job more prominent. The president who tweets about the Chinese virus engages their base.

It's not just some businesses, because that behaviour of businesses is driven by the fact they're run by people. It's just how some people behave.
The USSR lost a war and collapsed.

>"So you're basically saying black people should just accept racism is a thing and move on?"

What is the alternative?

That's the point. I, as a single individual, 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. I can only try to live my life as effectively as possible within the bounds of our current reality. The civil rights movement won us equality under the law. But expecting the same tactics to result in social equality is a pipe dream.

Everything we know–and don’t–about Tom Cruise’s plans to film a movie in space
Approximately half the math textbooks I study from basically do this already. It works very well, but IMO mostly because the questions are not easy. You actually have to stop and think for a few minutes before moving on.
I've heard from a lot of people at certain companies who know that if they want a certain salary bump, they need to leave for a year or two and come back. So if you're still interested in your first organization, don't discount going back there. Generally, it's way easier to get hired the second time as you're a known commodity, and assuming you can demonstrate your skill improvement over that time period, you can get a 20-40% bump from your current job.
It's interesting how all the actions the author thinks China will take involves military coercion of Taiwan in some form. When all you know how to use is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. The idea that China could build an alternative to TSMC instead of trying to take it apparently doesn't compute.
Did you ever use BlackICE? I worked on Windows drivers in the early 90's and all of our systems had BlackICE running which was like a hypervisor debugger with full hardware control: you could CTRL-ALT-TAB into it and halt the OS at any point and save state. The basic debug strategy was to break to BlackICE on fault, handle it with a macro, and save the OS from crashing. Super useful, also great for breaking copy protection on games. ;-)
Engineering Record and Replay(rr) for Deployability Extended Technical Report
I am a big fan of Herzberg's dual factor theory. I find it much more practical and actionable than the ubiqitous Maslow's hierarchy.

In one of my previous jobs, I asked people in my team to make a survey to identify their motivational and hygienic factors. The surprising result for me was how much variation there was among different people. (e. g. for somebody salary was a motivational factor, for anybody hygienic one). Anyway, understanding these factors for individual team members made me much more effective manager.
No, it is incredibly useful. That means a subset of the population, or a population certain environments, can be exposed and not get infected. AFAIU, every exposure has the chance of the immune system creating antibodies as it does for foreign cells.

Furthermore, if we know that shared living spaces, farm work communes, jails etc are the main source of serious infection, we can hyper-focus on those scenarios and allow the economy to somewhat recover.

We all need to get off our relative high horses, by the way. What is an opportunity to work from home for a lot of us, is a recipe for financial disaster and bankruptcy for many, many others.
I was making a reference to "Move to Canada, the country that welcomes immigrants with arms wide open", that's not the truth. I don't know the details, might be easier than the US, but they're not gonna hand you a passport when you cross the border. Especially if you consider the country as a back-up/second zone country, not the best mindset to immigrate somewhere.
Tritium's half-life is 12.5 yr. While I haven't looked up the statistical significance of the 53 excess events, it would take at most six half-lives to hammer that to below one.

Sometimes waiting works (in the absence of any cosmogenics or radionuclide support for the background), but a good assay and background model is generally much faster.

I've never heard of people quoting their ping time based on the closed DC to them. Let's say you're playing a game (fortnite, for example). You have a ping time based on where that server is. It may be across the country from you, and there's nothing you can do about that to make it better. Their ping time will not be anywhere near 20ms as that tweet alluded to. I'm pinging google.com on a fiber connection right now, which would go to one of their load-balanced DNS entries. I get 30ms. When people say you have 30ms of latency, they expect that latency for the normal things they do, not in some artificial test of path delay. Otherwise traditional satellite is 480ms and not 600ms, and fiber is 15ms and not 30-40ms.
I tried the last time with OpenMoko. Sadly, those things amount to little more than feature phones because they're just not powerful enough.

"People can be moral but businesses are amoral" is not the right summary. Businesses (and governments) are composed of many people, and there's no reason to expect in general that the actions of such a collective are consistent in any sense, not just a moral sense. Businesses and governments frequently undertake sets of actions that cannot even be reconciled as pursuing a consistent set of selfish preferences.
I was in a book club dedicated to reading Finnegans Wake, all 626 pages. We met every two weeks over dinner and would discuss a page or two, or sometimes just a paragraph if things were especially puzzling. It took us eight years to complete.

I agree with Wells about the frustrations with the endless riddles and the incessantly opaque style.

However an unexpected pleasure was how much fun it was to read in a group. For example, a set of allusions sprinkled on the page might catch the eye of someone for whom the subject was a pet interest or hobby, otherwise we all would have missed it. I learned a lot about world history, art, philosophy, etc., and I almost always ended the evening astounded at the oddest bits of information my friends had tucked away in their heads.

Finnegans Wake works really well as a scaffold for learning and conversation; as a story, I'm not so sure, but I think it is a remarkable literary experiment. There are also several truly beautiful passages hidden away in the book, which hit you by complete surprise when you stumble on them.
They should be testing it on something that involves more remembering and less thinking, like microbiology. Physics is the absolute worst subject to test any new book-writing method in, because the book practically doesn't matter; it's all in what happens inside the student's head as they do the exercises. The fact that the Moore method has half a chance of working for topology students shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that for highly logic-based fields like physics and math that the book matters so little that the absence of any book or lecture at all will still result in the material being taught!

The faulty logic is people proclaiming businesses as a single entity and not made up of a multitude of people with varying moral standards and opinions. We shouldn't be surprised that businesses aren't morally consistent when the people in them sure won't be.
