It's not even leftist. The NYT confuses reality with semi-classical liberalism. Trump is allowed to push their buttons (and, their readers') in the news articles. But they haven't grappled with the illiberalism of the average American, nor is there editorializing really for anything. It's purely reactionary.

There was a John Stuart interview recently where I was pleasently surprised he got this. NYT now calls lies lies, but they get so titillated from this departure from both-siderism they forgot they

a) Most people are used to being lied and gaslighted by authority constantly and no longer have that emotional reaction

b) the emotional reaction to lieing caused them to stop their analysis from going deeper, so we miss out on a complete picture of the reality vs the message

c) the emoting is the exact biases tone the both-siderism was supposed to prevent. The calling a lie a lie bit was something we all wanted because it wasn't actually in conflict with objective reporting.

Basically, they sound like they are miming the intercept's voice without the coherent ideology that makes reading the Intercept worth it.
Any evidence of malfeasance on their part?
Lol I'm with ya bud.

So many people in this thread should open up YouTube and watch some "Thomas Sowell"
I think we've realized there is no such thing as a mostly neutral, reputable news source. What you choose to report on, what you choose to ignore, and what language you use to frame that information are editorial choices and they cannot be totally free from bias.
Because dynastic wealth is unearned and aggravates unequal circumstances of birth and accumulates capital in less competitive markets thus delegitimizing the purported meritocracy that is capitalism.
Hi HN!

I'm Anton, and I wanted to show you this tool that I have been building over the last year or so. It's based on experience from working with performance of Java apps (particularly Elasticsearch), and would have made my life so much easier in that role.

I would love feedback on essentially everything! You can see the core of the product by pressing the "demo" button on the top of the landing page. Thanks in advance :)
Perl continues to be great for basic scripts. Why change and throw away 20 years of experience?

The only thing I've noticed that's lacking is decent protobuf support.
Ok, so I wrote tons of Perl and am to this day a fan, but I don’t think one can call a blessed hash (or scalar for the fancy folks) an object _system_.

It is flexible and fun and I do miss it.

True story: years of passing functions to other functions and map/greps made the switch to FP Scala (another language I fear will die) a lot easier!
When using GSuite it is used in a browser, and this is key to the Google strategy. The goal is to get more users spending more time in their browsers, in order to funnel them to Google Ads and to serve Google their browsing data.

GSuite exists, at least in part, to break down the model of the walled corporate intranet. There are just too many people behind the corporate veil to ignore; and as a bonus, the browsing and cloud app usage habits they develop at work will tend to translate to their usage habits at home.

Also, as noted by another responder, GMail has had ads since launch. I was a beta user from day 1, and I recall the ads.

Edit: worth noting the historical difficulty of getting open source software into the business environment because corporate purchasers were wary of anything that was "free"; putting a price on something makes it more palatable to corporate adoption.
If you use Windows, a similar experience can be attained by choosing the "taskbar where window is open" option in the "show taskbar buttons on:" setting of the Taskbar Settings window. this only shows the apps you have open on each monitor on that monitors taskbar. It provides me with a sense of using two separate computers, one for slack/email and one for code, while still having the convenience of copy and pasting between "computers".
I don't think it's unreasonable to define the upper class as the group who wields the most political power. Use whatever word you want, "overlord", "elite", "oligarch", it doesn't matter. You seem to be playing semantic word games to avoid addressing my central point.
Famously progressive. I guess so. It was the NYT that hired Sarah Jeong and put her on the editorial board:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45052534

Famous for saying things like, "Oh man it's kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men" and "Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins" and "white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants".

And when this was pointed out, the NYT stood by her, claiming that in fact it was all because she had been harassed and, "For a period of time she responded to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her harassers".

One rule for straight white men, another for women is classic NYT. It's not new.
Or just get a Bluetooth keyboard and connect it to you smartphone. But I guess the appeal is the reduced distractions in the screen. Is there an app that pauses any distractions (messages, calls, notifications, etc) so you can focus on the current foreground application?
I know some fantasy sports site was, maybe CBS? I had a UX designer colleague who had worked on that.
Ask HN: How to Handle a New Manager?
I've been working at my current company for a little under a year, and in a few weeks my team is getting a new manager. This is my first job and I've never experienced a manager transition, so I wanted to know if there are any things I should do, not do, or just be aware of. What have some of your experiences with manager transitions been like, and what did you do about the transitions that looking back, made your path better or worse at those companies?

The house hasn't increased in real value. The increase in selling price is due to inflation of the dollar.
$23 million, assuming a low yield of 5% annually, means that a person is receiving $1.15 million every year. The average income in the top 5% of the Bay Area is $808k/year [1]. This is ignoring every other source of income, and only looking at passive income received as a result of already having significant wealth.

Their focus on monetizing everybody with advertising hurt their products in the long run.

It's like they develop products just enough to get people using them so they can squeeze out some more meta-data and connect the dots back to a Google account, and then they stop development because it's not going to add more revenue.

And if they can't figure out how to push advertising with it, they drop it.
Helping PhD candidates prepare to present their research, I was struck not by the frequent inability to give a succinct outreach description - I was kind of expecting that - but by how non-trivial it was to help them create one. And this was after their theses were largely done. So I'm less puzzled now by how often it's not actually done.
It's worth noting that there's a truly massive amount of precedent in other languages for Python implementing it using the syntax as proposed. Languages that have or are planning to include pattern-matching where the pattern syntax exactly mirrors the expression syntax like this include Rust, Swift, OCaml, Haskell, C++, Ruby, Erlang, and many, many more.

I understand the worry that newcomers might struggle, but I don't think it's going to be the case: newcomers regularly learn the languages listed above without stumbling across that problem. And if Python did choose a syntax like the one you're proposing, it'd also be the odd one out among dozens of mainstream languages including this feature, which I think would be even more confusing!

It’s just platitudes so long as their interests are served by pretending the problem doesn’t exist.
The issue is that people generally don’t think “I’m using this in exchange for google recording and selling my data”. They mostly think it’s free. My dad mostly thinks it’s free, mostly because he believes in the law and doesn’t think google would be allowed to do nefarious things.
>Joules are joules.

When talking about battery failure how quickly the energy is released is important.

>A "grid scale" compressed air tank going pop is going to do a lot more damage in the immediate vicinity but won't do anything 50mi away. You can't say the same thing about a dam burst.

If your comparing it to an entire dam, then your looking at underground storage of compressed gas in caverns. For that I agree both are dangerous in different ways.

But the context I was talking about was compressed air tanks which are more comparable to chemical batteries and gravity storage. Catastrophic failure of compressed air tanks is generally going to be more destructive than many other similar alternatives.

>Just because it's dangerous in a way you're not used to doesn't mean it's more dangerous.

A large lithium battery is much less likely to level several buildings than an air tank storing a similar amount of energy. I'm not saying that the dangers of compressed air can't be engineered around, but by almost any reasonable, objective metric you could come up with, compressed air is more dangerous.

I've always wondered how to think about this dichotomy - there are other examples besides Ford, Apple sometimes, etc. The way I've thought about it is the classic "ask what your customers want" relies on you to bring customer context and understanding to make another jump to what the underlying problem is. "faster horse" -> "get from point A to point B faster"
The difference I see is that a landlord’s kid has to do 100% of the job his parent did or risk losing his landlordship. The writer’s kid doesn’t have to do anything at all.

Also yes, you’re right. I should have said “work of art” rather than “invention” to emphasize that I mean copyright and not patent. Parents have far more reasonable durations.

Perl used to have one of the most extensive module libraries. One of the things I miss about Perl was it’s more sensible module namespace convention (Eg Net::... for networking related) vs the more hip but confusing and hard to discover naming of node modules.
Vox, as a publisher, is hardly an unbiased source.

> But in fact, the lawsuit seeks financial damages only for the sharing of 127 books under copyright, including titles like Gone Girl, A Dance with Dragons, and The Catcher in the Rye. If the court awards the plaintiffs the maximum amount provided under the law, the most the Internet Archive would have to pay would be $19 million — essentially equivalent to one year of operating revenue, according to IA tax documents. That’s a huge setback, but for the IA, a tech nonprofit that relies heavily on grants and public donations, it’s not the major death blow it might seem to be.

Okay, but two things:

1. This opens up the door to other publishers to do the same thing.

2. $150,000 per book is clearly excessive.

(1) We still have extreme levels of crime compared to other first world countries even if it is in decline

(2) Your argument strikes me as somewhat similar to "I feel fine why should I keep taking my medicine?". It's not exactly the same as the medicine is scientifically proven to cure disease while it's impossible to measure the impact of police on crime. But "things are getting better so we should change what we're doing" is not a particularly sound logical argument.

That's fair. I imagine that there are parts of LA that are similarly walkable, but it's not like LA is immune to the problems SF has, and it has unique problems of its own.

There are bound to be some pretty cool places in AZ, NM, TX, and the southeast. I've been casually researching this topic for a while, and I've found it to be incredibly difficult to find a useful, non-biased index of walkable and interesting neighborhoods from all corners of the US.

Good luck!
I lived in South Africa for a while and heard many times, with various degrees of irony, "you white people all look the same" from black South Africans. So yeah it's definitely a cross-racial recognition problem, and it's probably also a problem with distinguishing between members of visible minorities using traits beyond the most noticable othering characteristic.
"Warning: The Google Nexus 6P is no longer maintained. A build guide is available for developers that would like to make private builds, or even restart official support."

The devices link you included links to legacy builds/devices that are discontinued. The only Google phones currently supported on LineageOS are the Nexus 6 and Pixel 1/1XL. As another data point, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S7 have no active support either while the S4 and S5 do.

Yeah that quote does sound familiar, but I'd say that's a bit different than "the whole mythology is directly based on christian mythology". I think the moral framework of his world certainly has strong roots in the Christian tradition and I expect that is what Tolkien was referring to in that quote, but the stories themselves are generally quite distinct from anything you'd find in Christianity. I think this is pretty much what you are saying as well, so I think we're mostly in agreement here.
>That’s because of government stimulus benefits, both the $1,200 checks that went out to most people and, even more importantly, the $600-a-week increase in unemployment insurance benefits ... But the message of this data is that, on the whole, it worked.

It sort of worked, but unfortunately the dialog has centered on the talking point that "people are making more not working than they could by working."

It's temporarily true for a lot of people suddenly out of work that weren't making a whole lot to begin with.

Now that it's ending soon things are about to get much worse for everyone.
It depends how data hungry those models get. It might be the case that to train GPT-10 you actually need more data than there is available in the universe, so you have no chance of training it.
That does sound awful!

So your contention is that because they check hashes of documents stored on drive for unlawful material, we'll say, that this proves that Google is lying about how it uses data from docs and drive?

Or are you saying they don't actually share any data learned from docs and drive
> If software engineering is engineering, they can.

Therein lies the question :)

> Well, it's not, because there is no analog to the “without profiling” part. It's true that there is an analogous tendency of prejudging problem code, but certainly, at a minimum, hygiene issues can be discovered by experience of problems of development/maintenance stemming from, e.g., code duplication for shared functionality instead of use of shared abstractions.

Even in this case we are limited. I've seen many cases where someone correctly identifies a piece of code that is painful to maintain and then dives in only to multiply the problem. We are even better off in performance land because we can test our code immediately after we write it to verify we haven't left things worse.

> No, in my experience that's not even approximately true. Most developers I've encountered think that, in their current team environment, they individually have a natural tendency either to excessively favor direct solutions that produce ugly code with outsized downstream cost or to go a few steps too far with overengineering abstraction (and most of them also recognize that that that overall tendency is only on average, and that they also miss on the other side sometimes.)

I don't want to wade into the thicket on this one except to note that it's possible for someone to articulate something they may even believe on some superficial level without truly internalizing that belief and that IMO I observe this behavior a lot.

I don't want to invalidate your point outright because I think it's valuable and I even agree that it's rare to encounter a code base that would not benefit at all from 'code hygiene.' All models are wrong but I think an aggressive focus on delivering functionality is a useful one in most contexts. Put another way, a good but imperfect rule of thumb is to refactor only in order to gain something tangible for end-users.
I looked into this some time ago and found that wireguard cannot run on fargate due to requiring kernel modifications and the userspace implementation[0] has similar blockers.

I want to add that this tax only applies to people of the mid upper level incomes.

The apex families use a complex network of Trusts that outlive any of the beneficiaries and thus are not subject to an "inheritance tax".

This inheritance tax is nothing more than economic warfare by the globalist central banking cartels to disgorge the upper mid tear capitalist class who aren't big enough or careful enough to go through the complex tax loopholes the megawealthy are able to procure for themselves.
> Your entire argument hinges on tricking people into thinking "subdue rioters and looters with the military if police can't or won't do it" is equivalent to "shoot protestors".

I'm not sure what you think my argument is, since you appear to be conducting a separate but closely related debate entirely in your own mind.

To circle back to the original point of contention, using the military to suppress political dissent, the course Cotton discussed in his op ed (and which you accused evgen of making up), is using the military to suppress political dissent whether or not the protesters are peaceful, whether or not you think the protesters' message is legitimate, and whether or not the troops do anything more than stand in the street looking threatening.

(perhaps we're in violent agreement on these points, in which case I don't understand your objection to evgen's comment, except as a reflexive action)
Correct and updated my original post. My point still stands about resolution, though. The 6s has a 4.7" 750p screen, so doesn't exactly compare to the 5" 1080p Pixel screen. But even with that screen size difference, the iPhone wins. Handily.
No, I'm not saying that at all. Obviously some acquisitions have been tremendously valuable. Many of those acquisitions could also have existed on their own. But the net effect of something can be negative even if individual things are positive.

My criticism was scoped only to the practice of big tech companies buying up competitors and unprofitable businesses. I think this is value destroying over the long term, though it obviously creates value for the people involved.
