> There are some people/groups who have co-opted that branding and are actually intending violence, but those are in the minority.

All violent people are in the minority. Even among those who spread literal Nazi propaganda (swastikas, Mein Kampf quotes, etc.), only a small percentage are willing to physically attack Jews. If this isn't a problem, then what's the point of removing any hateful content at all? Only a small minority of people posting it are really violent.
Without MCAS wouldn't the plane be unbalanced due to engine placement issues and excess weight?

From my understanding, the MCAS system was built to offset these problematic default states that come with using an old body not compatible with the upgrades made. I also heard the weight of these new engines caused wings to develop stress cracks.

Not sure how it could be considered safe without a better designed MCAS system and addressing the other issues.

I get what you were explaining, but i disagree with these parts

> How would you expect the people in those times to be okay with touching those who used to clean up toilets by hand, carry the waste on their backs?

The trouble is, this wasn't something people chose to do by choice - it was thrust upon them initially and eventually conditioned to accept as "their duty" to the society through religious conditioning. (Read Gandhi's commentary justifying this type of work)

There is enough written about this and if you are interested you can easily look up about this online and in libraries.

> traditionally descendants did the same business as it was easily taught to kids

Even this was thrust through years of conditioning my friend. They were not "allowed" to take up any other profession - they could be dead, if they dared to do this. The references for this go far back to scriptures and other religious literature my friend.

> dalit's were not working in lower level because they were untouchables, but they were untouchables because they worked in the lower levels

Not true, read the comment above, they were forced into lower level work initially.

> Indian society let Mr. B R Ambedkar (who was born Dalit) to write constitution of India - that speaks volumes.

You haven't read Ambedkar have you ? :) Indian society didn't "let" Mr. B R Ambedkar to write the constitution, he rose to that position through sheer intellectual power! He was very very ahead of his times my brother! He faced many many challenges throughout his rise due to his origins being from lower class, he rose in spite of it.

A man of such calibre, resigned when in a position of power because he didn't believe in certain ideas put forth for discussion while making amendments to the constitution etc. He felt that would jeopardize the efforts he had put in to make the constitution equal for all - and undermine democracy! Such was the man!

No, I still think we were not ready 20 years ago and we still not are. The main problem with the political changes that it stole from the time we could have used to find a middle ground between both cultures and be compatible, but it was spent on nonconstructive things instead. I do not support that Turkish culture should be replaced by European one, but we could have made it work somehow.
> I really don't see a reason to not use both. Even right now, a maintainer of some subsystem could conceivably create a repo on Gitlab* and accept PRs there, which they could then (rebase-?)merge in and sync with git.kernel.org with Linus never having to know about it.

FWIW that's already happening with the BPF subsystem https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf
> This lack of actionable improvements or concrete guidelines reminds me a bit like needing "political officers" in Marxist military units who ensure "compliance".

Sure, you can look at it that way if you like, that commonly results in hiring someone to be responsible for D/I without actually making any other changes.

A better response is more along the lines of "Not in MY Army" which makes it everyone's responsibility at every level.
They are being selfish I'd say. Trying to save their time on the basis of projects in the meantime wasting interviewee's time.

Historically speaking, convincing anyone to run data stores on k8s is a giant pain. This isn't helped by all the mythology around "k8s is great for stateless" further promoted by folks like Kelsey Hightower who firmly believes that one should rely on the cloud provider's data stores.

This is great for the cloud provider as those are high margin services, I for one would rather have a single orchestration API that I have to interact with, that being the one offered by k8s. All the benefits of running workloads in k8s apply equally to data stores. Cattle, not pets. If your data store needs coddling then it's a pet and you're doing it wrong.
For those who don’t know, Elliot was a startup Shopify competitor. They gained notoriety through relentless Twitter self-promotion, trash-talking Shopify non-stop and promising an e-commerce revolution when their platform launched.

They really had mastered the art of Twitter promotion. I would see friends of friends recommend that people follow Elliot and their founders several times per week. They were frequently held up as examples of founders doing things the right way and tackling big problems.

They officially launched last week after hyping the company since 2017, but the site didn’t work. The CEO tried to blame a DDoS attack, but later announced that their launch date was pushed back to December.

A few days later, the CEO posted a screenshot of his resignation letter from the Notes app of his iPhone. Shortly afterward, the company announced that they were shutting down via an e-mail to their waitlist. The shutdown email vaguely alluded to the CEO’s personal problems, but stopped short of a real explanation.

This is a disappointing outcome for everyone, including those of us who like to cheer scrappy startups along from the sidelines. It’s a good reminder that PR, charisma, and confidence are necessary but not sufficient to launch a startup in today’s environment. It’s hard to believe that Elliot raised $3.7 million from dozens of investors, yet no one noticed that they didn’t have a functional product or even a team that could execute the product. Even their business model didn’t make sense, with fee structures so low that they would never become a sustainable, scalable business until they were processing on the order of billions of dollars of shopping purchases through their platform.

People have joked that this is the Fyre Festival of eCommerce, given how much PR they did and how no one was willing to accept that it was doomed as they approached their launch date. It’s fascinating to see how quickly the company imploded as soon as it made contact with the real world. At minimum, I would expect investors to appoint another CEO to turn the IP into something useful if they were actually that close to launching. The fact that they let it implode completely suggests that the company had much deeper problems.

Catasys | REMOTE | Sr. AI Engineer | good pay

We're in the healthcare space working on some pretty compelling problems at the convergence of behavioral health and chronic conditions. I come from an ad-tech background where the general theme was to use loads of data to help advertising be "more efficient"... which is to say we tried to help sell folks on things they usually didn't need... meanwhile in spite of noble aspirations to clean up the industry, ad-tech has gotten creepier over the last 10 years. (I'm glad there are still folks working on that problem.) But today I'm so happy now to be directing my effort toward a somewhat surprising opportunity to A) benefit humans and B) be more efficient from a cost perspective. The general idea is that we find cases where providing behavioral health care (think treatment for SUD, anxiety or depression) has a very good chance of improving the management of one or more chronic conditions (think diabetes, COPD, asthma, etc). I don't want to over-sell it as a mythical win-win-win (the individual, the insurance companies, and our company), but so far the model is working pretty well. We're growing both in terms of business as well as our capabilities.

My team of 2 is looking for 2 more to join our fully remote team. If you're a thoughtful, experienced practitioner who has built successful (and let's face it maybe a few unsuccessful) ML or AI systems, you might be perfect. If you're searching this post for buzzwords, as a means of shameless SEO I'll mention Python, Tensorflow, Keras, Spark, Scala, SageMaker, Deep Learning, RNN, LSTM, R, ggplot, and (why not) Flask. Note that we may or may not use all of these _right now_ (the team is new and much TBD), but I'm hoping to catch the attention of the right folks in the midst of so many job HN postings.

Ping me via LinkedIn messaging or my email (dlarsen at the company domain name) if you're curious about the role. Having recently joined the company and this team, a lot of the considerations that are probably on your mind as a job seeker are fresh in my mind as well, and I'd be happy to have a candid conversation about the company, the role and how you might fit in.

Happened to my app[1] in the last couple of weeks. No big new features, it was just blocked for a minor update.

So now, I lose control over the process and can't even refund the customer if they forget. And people won't try the app.

People who try my app end up liking it, but needing to provide payment up front is a deal breaker for most.

Moreover, technically it requires quite a bit of rework, as you need a user + IAP record together. And testing IAP is a huge PITA.

I'm slightly encouraged to see this happen to a major app[2], to see if Apple responds or rethink this. It's terrible.

From my experience with iOS subscriptions you can cancel immediately in the App Store and your trial will continue until the original date.

Good stuff! Regrettable that GNU make has no command-line flag for this IMO.
I'd rather ask them to look at my resume and ask me questions based on it.

Also, Yes, I'll whiteboard instead of that.
Yeah that was it, updated Firefox cleared it. Strange.
Yeah, good questions.

I'm not advocating an end to global platforms. And I don't think the democratic oversight should come from the US government. The end goal should be a website like Wikipedia -- non-profit, maintained and perhaps even funded by users.

In fact, I think a lot of the fragmentation of the internet you see abroad is a reaction against the powerlessness of users and governments against the unassailable power of these corporations. Maybe, if we are able to give users some degree of control over the design and policies of these platforms, we might be able to preserve the global internet. Some of that fragmentation -- as you see in the OP article -- is simply a result of governmental authoritarianism, which is a problem either way.

I think the first step would be to re-align some economic incentives by creating digital rights laws. GDPR is a good first step. So establishing something similar in the US. This itself is a hugely complicated step that could go very wrong, and due to the corrupt nature of US politics and the desire for large tech companies for regulatory capture, the potential pitfalls are many.

Then, if we manage to get that right, I think we need to find a way to create legislation that requires these platforms to give their users control regarding how content is presented to them -- essentially, the ability to control their feeds.

I don't know how we would manage to transition these companies to a true non-profit model. As long as they remain for-profit, they will fight and subvert these efforts every step of the way, even after they became law.

However, I think we are increasingly seeing how dangerous and unsustainable the current model is. Perhaps the best way to accelerate data rights is accelerationism -- making the exploits and faults in these platforms as visible as possible by "hacking" them.
any equivalent for Windows?
It's a psychological matter, the more increased publicity the higher the likely hood of an illogical backclash against the person, especially if they live in places where the rule of law doesn't protect them well.
anybody else notice the gradually shifting background color? is my monitor sketching out?
Definitely an excellent write up if not one of the best Launch HN write ups I have seen.
> Frankly, it is just much simpler to directly work with makefiles

agree.

pmake (colloquially bsd make though it arrived late in the CSRG era) allows for the concept of a 'makefile library' that handles common things (e.g. '.include <bsd.prog.mk>' to build a program if the project directory is laid out appropriately) which I think would have been a much better approach for autotools instead of generating makefiles in multiple stages. Unfortunately the autotools approach is many peoples 1st exposure to anything make-like so they are left with a bad impression of makefile complexity.

IMHO pmake also has a nicer and more flexible syntax extension over posix vs gnumake (e.g. can define a dynamic target in a for loop). Unfortunately pmake is not very well known outside of the BSD community.
SoundLines | Software Engineer | Seattle or Remote (US only) | Full Time

SoundLines is saving healthcare providers from burnout by building the first truly ambient documentation assistant on the market. No trigger words or interaction with our assistant is necessary: providers walk into the room, start the visit, and forget about the device. Our customers love the product and we're growing quickly:

- "This is stupid easy"

- “The notes are way better than the ones I do on my own”

- “10,000 times better than transcription”

Our backend is Elixir/Phoenix while our frontend is mostly VueJS. We are looking for experienced software engineers who are comfortable owning projects end-to-end, from ideation to release. We are based in Seattle but are okay with remote work. We can only accept US candidates at this time due to the nature of the business.

thank you for having an open mind, and also being willing to say what others are already thinking, but doing it nicely :)

agreed on the maintaining legacy bit. I spent some time on that in the sr dev chapter, but it was mostly collating what others have said. i think its impt that jr devs be aware this is a big part of the job, and also that "technical debt" often pays incredibly well because it is so challenging and the skillset to handle it well is so rare.
> So, you are going back to the training data ;)

You asked about the biases of the people building the model, which is what I answered.

You didn't ask about the biases that occur during the requirements specification stage, or the biases that occur during operational implementation of the trained model.

Those are just as important - and arguably even more important - than the choice of the training data and the technical implementation.

The responsibility for the ethics of using ML neither begins nor ends with the ML engineer who builds the machine, and there are serious questions arising from the application of ML in certain domains that cannot simply be addressed by "better training data".
Sure, just as New York is not as central to the American economy as it was in the 19th and early 20th century. It would still be a very heavy cost to lose it. A few percentage points of GDP might seem small on paper, and won’t be the end of the country, but it’s not something to scoff at.
My build tool spat out a 700MB compile_commands.json file, which the C++ language server turned into 25k files. None of the language server implementations were able to process even a go to file on the code.

it takes about 15 minutes for Visual Studio (well, visual assist) to generate the index for the project, and then the navigation is instant. I've tried a few times over the last few years with various language server and clients, and my experience has been the same pretty much every time.

Onin | Full Stack Mid-level | Full-time | London, UK | ONSITE or REMOTE (GMT +- 2h)

We're building something BIG.

I wish we could tell you upfront what it is but we're in stealth. We can say if you love consumer applications and collaborative tools, we're your bag...

We're a small team of fun-loving, hardworking, software fanatics. We’re open and try new things with enthusiasm. And we’re high-momentum, focused on delivering magical products that our users love as much as we do. We socialise as a team at least once a month.

Our CEO is Ryan Brodie, who co-founded muzmatch (YC S17) and has 3 successful exits.

We had somewhere to call home in a central London WeWork but since lockdown we're thinking about going fully remote with frequent company away days instead. What do you think?

We keep things simple and iterate fast, we use the best possible technology and tooling to realise our goals and improve our understanding.

Every hire, from our first to (one day) thousandth, gets generous equity. Everyone should consider this to be theirs as much as anyone else's. If you're not passionately arguing what you believe is best for our product, you might not be thinking as deeply as we do about our work.

We're hiring for engineering and product roles. If you want a job that doesn't feel like work, we'd love to hear from you.
