> The "promise" to the Creek isn't worth the paper it's written on because they don't have enough military might to enforce the terms of the agreement.

This is patently false, because the Supreme Court has ruled that the promise is enforceable.

> The US operates with them as it does with every one else, on the principle of "might makes right."

This is also completely false. Does the military answer to the President of the US because "might makes right"? Can Trump overpower any enlisted man in the military with a gun? The military obeys the Constitution because they swore an oath to do so, not because the generals have literal guns to their heads.

Culture and rule of law matter. The statement "might makes right" is a gross oversimplification that doesn't reflect our reality at all.

Welcome to brazil, where the middle class is almost bellow poverty line, but they still vote conservative because they dream they will become millionaires overnight, only if they just manage to elect the right-most wing candidate.

The threat model for AMZ is state sponsored corporate espionage, not government intruding on your and my privacy. The former cost them a ton of money unlike the later.

As far as I can tell, the Math IXL system was designed to make people hate math.

Open-answer questions rarely specify the answer format, and will thus accept only one of 0.5, 0.50, .5, 1/2, 4/8 ... etc while rejecting all the rest. Then the next question will not keep the same format.

Points for correct answers add to your score, but not linearly; points for incorrect answers subtract from your score, but not linearly.

Endlessly frustrating.
Seriously. People wonder why there aren't enough women in CS.

Things like the canonical test image being a sexy "come hither" look, coming from a Playboy centerfold, definitely don't help.

And it's not enough to say "well the rest of the centerfold isn't shown". Come on. We all know the source of the image.

And "tradition" is far less important than CS being a welcoming environment for all people.

Computer science is a profession. Let's use images that are appropriate for a professional setting.
Thanks for posting, I also disagree with it. I think using this authors high level stance is that only the human physical experience can lead to general intelligence. By this logic a blind person or quadrapeligic might not be generally intelligent.

Social anger changes in response to black swan events. Islamophobia was rampant after 9/11. People were angry on Russia after the Crimea incident. People are angry on China due to Hong Kong , their treatment of uyighurs, and their growing economic power. This is also amplified by Trump talking about China a lot more than any other country.
> Where's the security benefit in that???

Well... the security benefit is precisely that nobody can access your account without 2FA. Maybe you wanted to ask "what's the point in having security if usability can become so fragile?".

The point is to give users the secure option and let them decide what to go with, or at least make it clear for the users what the expected behavior is. So far it's obviously not clear. People assume you need that since you need the password to change the password, you need 2FA to change 2FA. I mean that's why you enabled it, to protect all aspects of your account.

On the other hand you should have plenty of options to protect your 2FA: save the seed (QR code), have multiple tokens, save your recovery keys, etc. Not the least of which should also be for the operator to give you a secure reset option.
Scracth that, look at the domain names you have provided

A possible solution is to have no hard cutoff. Work 5 hours a week? Get 5/40ths of full time benefits. Or something like that. Obviously it's tricky with benefits that are all or nothing, though some of that could be adjusted - for health insurance, this could mean Uber offers to pay a variable portion of the cost based on how much you worked in the last ~3 months. With anything on a strictly proportional scale, there's no obvious financial incentive to keep workers from working the number of hours they want.

Though I agree healthcare is the one thing that would probably be better off not tied to employment.

>> We currently live in a "there is only one correct opinion, all others must be canceled" culture.

> We really, really aren't.

Perhaps it would be better to say that there is a lot of powerful people who are working very hard to create such a culture, but they haven't yet fully achieved their mission. There's no clear definition for when something becomes "a culture of cancellation", but a lot of people are reporting that they are afraid to run afoul of the progressive party line for fear of repercussions. There are of course plenty of people who don't have this fear because they are better protected from progressive reach (either because their industry isn't overwhelmingly progressive or because they have enough power to be okay if the mob comes for them).

> I can't go in to a job interview and call the panel a bunch of cunts and then expect to be hired. That's a consequence of speech "administered outside the law". Does this mean there's no free speech? No, of course it doesn't.

Of course no one is talking about "calling your interviewer a cunt and not getting hired" when they talk about "cancel culture". Name one prominent instance wherein this happened and it was widely condemned as "cancel culture". This seems highly disingenuous.

When people talk about "cancel culture", they're talking about things like:

* a journalist is forced to repent for interview a black person who is happy about the BLM movement but wishes there was more concern about the daily non-police-perpetrated violence in his community

* a data scientist loses his job because he cited a prominent (black) academic's research about the efficacy of nonviolent and violent protests

* a utility company employee loses his job for accidentally making the "OK sign" without even knowing that the left was trolled into considering it to be a white power symbol

Freedom of speech has to do with freedom from government control over speech. However, what people who only talk about enshrined rights forget about is the American spirit. It is not in the spirit of America to destroy a life because of the least charitable interpretation of what they said. Much as the rules of Hackernews include engaging with the most charitable interpretation of someones post, so is common etiquette. We don't want to focus so much on the law that we forget who we are and how we should act. When you walk into an interview and call everyone "cunts" there isn't a charitable way to take that. When someone makes an OK symbol, there definitely is. Its true that you don't have to associate with anyone you don't want to, and I personally thing that should actually be a stronger right than it is currently interpreted as, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to work with people you don't like. If they say they want to kill you, re-evaluate, but if they don't like your political candidate, maybe take a step back and realize we're all Americans and all working together in the big picture.

In that case, since we are here and it's Friday and everyone needs to take it easy from time to time, here's my proof that we don't live in a simulation: according to [1], ray tracing is computationally undecidable. For example, say you are in a museum at night, and a light bulb turns on in a room on the third floor, is it still dark in some room on the first floor? This problem is undecidable using the axioms of geometric optics.

Of course, geometric optics is like real numbers, and the actual world is discrete: light is a finite collection of photons. So, you can do the simulation by simply emitting a number of photons from each light source and tracing them all the way until they are all absorbed. We can still live in a simulation, but one without algorithmic shortcuts, a simulation where you simulate every single photon.

Now, I'm sure you can come up with your own version of proof that we can't live in a simulation using Nyquist's theorem. If you do, and your Friday is not too busy, please share.

Funny, if you just re-write your post with the opposite points, it reads exactly the same and has the same apparent merit.:

The tide won't lose steam if Biden wins the election. Though there will be carnage similar to the dot com bust. For one, interest rates are super low but will rise sometime soon, when the Fed raises rates at least 3-4%.

The Covid induced tech euphoria might die down and I am willing to wager that will be the case. People's habits once changed may change again, especially when the new habits have a net positive economic impact. Time saved in commuting, air travel etc. The events industry might totally boom though. So there will be some positive impact as well. Other than these specific verticals such as events and tourism, I bet the market will sour on tech innovations now more than ever.

So yeah, this is probably the right time for any tech company to go public, not just those with mediocre metrics.
They have! But only via QR codes (multiple, if needed). It's clearly meant to help migrate your TOTP secrets to a new phone.
The thing those people miss is that "tested in the REPL" means tested once, and tests are there to be rerun many times, basically any time something is changed. You write your first test in the REPL, and then you transfer those tests to a proper test suite so you can reevaluate them all quickly. And because you ran it in the REPL, you also have a way to easily grab what should be the correct value.
By the time I saw it the replies were closed, unfortunately.
Many, many sites have an option like "don't ask for 2FA on this machine for 30 days" or something like that. If someone's on your machine, of course, then you don't need 2FA.

It would probably be a good idea to ask for password and 2fa anyway if the person wants to change any account details. But if it's a machine that can be remotely accessed, it's probably not a good idea to enable "remember me" on that machine.
> Free speech isn't free if those who would cause you harm are free to do so at the slightest provocation, and without fear of punishment.

It seems like what you're going for is that freedom of speech requires responsibility for consequences of speech, which I'm all for. I'm more worried about understanding how far those consequences stretch; if you share an article about race statistics that prompts a riot, are you responsible?

> My answer is "Yes, if you're willing to accept an appropriate punishment for libel/slander/defamation in the event you were wrong."

Do you believe that if someone unknowingly published something that turns out to be false, they should be held legally liable for it? For example, if I share a news article that turns out to be false, I should bear liability?

> One added thought though, what if the person accused can no longer afford a decent lawyer because they got canceled? That could result in catastrophic harm to an innocent person, just like the [0]4% of death row inmates that are supposedly innocent.

That would be a causality of free speech. At some point, some group of people are going to be hurt by speech or lack thereof, and it's more a matter of deciding what tradeoffs we'll make.

I'm a Catholic, and although I believe in my church's doctrine, I don't always come to the defense of my church's leaders. Here's how I see this:

Last week the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue that when public funds (e.g. grants, aid, forgivable loans) are made generally available to any organization that meets certain neutral criteria, a religious organization that meets the criteria cannot be excluded merely because it is religious. The First Amendment's Establishment Clause requires the government to be impartial when it comes to religion, showing no preference toward any particular faith, or toward religious believers in general. But that doesn't mean that religious organizations must be barred from funding that is otherwise generally available.

So, assuming the Catholic parishes, dioceses, and organizations satisfied same the criteria for the PPP loans as everybody else, I don't think there's a "separation of church and state" issue here.

Another consideration: What happens if they were ineligible to participate in the PPP. They would likely be forced to furlough or lay off employees. Because churches don't pay into states' unemployment programs, those employees would not be eligible to collect unemployment insurance (or the federal government's additional unemployment aid), which would put them in pretty bad shape. I happen to think that churches SHOULD pay into unemployment programs or provide similar unemployment benefits for laid-off workers, but that's not the reality right now. And so having churches participate in the PPP is an available way for the government to look after people who happen to work for religious employers.

As for some of the more controversial details -- lobbying for special classification with regard to employee size restrictions -- I would not be surprised if the Church were in the wrong there, although it's certainly true that the Church has an organizational structure that far predates and doesn't map cleanly to U.S. corporate structures.

It's not the latest version, there's a full exploit chain for 6.72, and partial chain for 7.02 (no usermode entry point to exploit the kernel escalation yet) and 7.50 already fixed this exploit back in April.

What i answerd to the person above fits your site very well.

In your specific case, the problem is, that basic means 'no pdf' which basically translates to 'useless'.

You have only a few seconds/minutes until a person will go to the next resume service page. They should not want to look for something else, they should think of buying a resume from you.

Build and advertise it as a one time deal. Tell people that they can configure it and build it and when they like it, they can buy it a the end.

This should be your first priority and when you have this fixed, then you can think about how to get those people back when they are looking for a new job in 2-4 years.

No one can upload a web profile. Thats not a good feature for someone who needs a resume.

If your web profile has a download button for the pdf version, then perhaps it could make sense but otherwise it doesn't.

You are trying to hard building a subscription service but this is a product service.

All of the kids in our Academy have reported nothing but positive experiences with Outschool and really enjoy the courses. It's the first place we all look when augmenting their schooling outside of our Academy. If any of the various teachers had been bad, we would have heard about it. I can't speak to the selection criteria, only the perspective of students.
I happen to be writing a book about writing a good developer resume - from the viewpoint of Google, Facebook, Netflix Uber and other tech company hiring managers and technical recruiters as coauthors and reviewers [1]. The book is in beta and I've not advertised it beyond one or two posts, and it's made over $2,500 in a month. So there is definitely some demand here, though I cannot tell how much.

The resume templates you have on site is pretty much the same, somewhat generic ones that profitable resume building sites like resume.io, EnhanCV or VisualCV have. They are not the best templates for hiring managers in tech - even though some candidates will be happy to pay for them, as they think it looks professional. Don't get me wrong: they will work okay, but there are far better ones, purely for optimizing for hiring managers.

Congrats on the sale, but if you are serious about the "resume for data scientists" direction, you might want to think about the market size, and if this what you want to do. All the resume services I know of cater for a much larger audience to make a profit - and, admittedly, this is one of their weakens.

On your site, right now, there seems to be little evidence why these resumes would have an advantage over e.g. the default Google Docs Serif or Swiss resume templates (which, the Minimalist looks very similar to). Selling one-off resumes might not be a fantastic business, or at least it would be a very one-sided marketplace. As someone else was suggesting, taking it a step further, and venture into you also connecting vetted data scientists with companies.

Fair point, many distros don't bundle by default the fonts because they disagree with the free as in beer but not free as in speech nature of the fonts.

Though many distros still make them available for those that want them. For instance, in Ubuntu they are included in the "Restricted Extras" meta-package, or specifically in the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package.

It's only marginally subject to the user's desires. I wrote a fairly popular PWA and the most common questions users have are...

and

"Why is it saying the browser won't let me store more data?"

The user's desires are pretty clear in both cases, but it's very unclear how the user can get what they want.
