I largely agree with the gist of your comment, but you may be overgeneralizing a little. Depending on, not sure how the describe it, gruesomeness of the kill, it may make national news. If the poor person is a woman, it is a little more likely. If it is a pregnant woman, it is a little more likely. If there was a rape, incest, or some weird sexual story attached to it, media might pick it up. If it was a child, it is a lot more likely. If it was displayed in some public fashion, it may be hard not to cover it.

Short answer is it depends. Not that long ago, white guy got killed by a hispanic guy in what police determined to be a hate crime( https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/craigsilverman/wisconsi... ). There was no uproar on CNN. Oddly, I did not see stuff on Fox News either. For whatever reason, it simply did not feel the narrative.

I agree with your example that it is not a given that the killing was political in nature ( as in, we simply don't have enough information to know ). But today, non-white person dying draws a lot more scrutiny. Now serial killers will only be left with the homeless..
This change must have happened this year. I remember comparing pre and post acquisition outage rates a few months ago.

If it is not purposefully being swept under the rug, it sure is convenient.

DETROIT – Treatment with hydroxychloroquine cut the death rate significantly in sick patients hospitalized with COVID-19 – and without heart-related side-effects, according to a new study published by Henry Ford Health System.

In a large-scale retrospective analysis of 2,541 patients hospitalized between March 10 and May 2, 2020 across the system’s six hospitals, the study found 13% of those treated with hydroxychloroquine alone died compared to 26.4% not treated with hydroxychloroquine. None of the patients had documented serious heart abnormalities; however, patients were monitored for a heart condition routinely pointed to as a reason to avoid the drug as a treatment for COVID-19.

The study was published today in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, the peer-reviewed, open-access online publication of the International Society of Infectious Diseases (ISID.org).
Judge sends teenager to juvenile detention for not doing online homework
Oh, hey, I got that scholarship.
Point taken, and especially with recent development in the ongoing war for whether or not discrimination against trans patients is legal, it's probably safer to bet towards situations where nobody even sees you.

The whole question of will they cover it, won't they cover it, will they sabotage me, won't they sabotage me is not a silly question anymore if federal protections for patients are increasingly politicized, just looking at the past few months alone. I was only able to push for certain policies in what is covered or offered at all through my provider by basically defeating their arguments with "I won't be your patient next year if the government makes it okay for you to deny me. You need to offer these services now or I will have to seek care outside your system and make it more expensive for you to care of anyways. Work with me here, I'm trying to not die."
Thank you!

After readin this I am going to try it out.
I thought immunity wasn't a perfect correlation with presence of antibodies.
I'm in complete agreement here. One of my personal gripes has been the branding of climate issues as 'Climate change'. In my opinion this should really be 'Climate stability'. It's easier to create an environmental standard and build infrastructure and behaviours that support it.
There is a lot — a LOT — to criticize about the infographic tweeted by Byron York here (based on a table produced by Judith Katz in 1990) and frankly this entire page [1] of relentlessly abstracted and ahistorical discussion of 'Whiteness' and cultural identity is a dumpster fire even from the perspective it is attempting to communicate, and I am shocked to see scholarship of this quality featured at the Smithsonian.

However, absolutely nothing about it suggests that "internalizing aspects of white culture" makes you a racist. It's fine if you don't respect or understand the idea that the web page is trying to communicate here because frankly they did a shamefully bad job. They are preaching to the choir. But absolutely nothing about it suggests the thing that angers you. You are bringing that idea to the infographic with you.

As a CTO responsible for an often failing eCommerce website that lost millions when down and which I took over, I fell in the same trap of trying to sweep things under the rug.

Hey folks,

I’m Alexander, cofounder of Remotion. We help teams get into quick video chats instead of scheduling meetings or texting. This makes remote collaboration faster and less isolating.

We’re in beta (macOS only for now) and looking for as much feedback as possible. If you’re up for a 15 min video demo/call to share your thoughts and maybe onboard, please email me at alexander [at] remotion [dot] com. Alternatively, if you’d rather just try the product, feel free to sign up directly and shoot me a note with feedback.

Interesting data point from beta thus far: 47% of conversations are <10 minutes—people are getting unblocked and saving time instead of spending hours in Zoom or Slack.

Thanks!
Haha. So the more driven and hungry i am the worse ill be viewed. The more silver spoon and apathetic ill be cherished.

Sounds like dating ;)
Why does evidence so far infer this? Potentially, he thought the killer was going to a condo unit on a different floor.
answer: short term political gain
I can't read this article because "abc7chicago.com wants to install and run Widevine"

As to the newsworthy debate, yes, the death of a person that is of a greater relative value to society (such as for eg a tech entrepreneur) is more newsworthy than otherwise (such as for eg a homeless person).
It's not just the issue of actual "alternative app stores". The issue that Telegram is running into here is that what Apple considers an "app store" is very broad, and when Telegram added games, Apple said "nope, can't do that, that would be an app store and that's illegal".

Facebook is running into the same issue trying to launch their Facebook Gaming app on iOS. Apple keeps rejecting them because it's an app store, according to their policies.

C'mon... you know that's not true. Maybe it's a regional thing or a geographic thing but I've lived in multiple US cities on both coasts and in the north and south and have had people use the term on many occasions. I even had a friend when I was growing up whose parents designated the role of "co-pilot" to the eldest when they were old enough to sit in the front seat.

"I need you to be my co-pilot and watch out for cops."
The methodology:

> For this study, researchers conducted technical interviews of 48 computer science undergraduates and graduate students. Half of the study participants were given a conventional technical interview, with an interviewer looking on. The other half of the participants were asked to solve their problem on a whiteboard in a private room. The private interviews did not require study participants to explain their solutions aloud, and had no interviewers looking over their shoulders.

> Researchers measured each study participant’s interview performance by assessing the accuracy and efficiency of each solution.

[...]

> “People who took the traditional interview performed half as well as people that were able to interview in private,”
I went to several of Professor Brian Toon's presentations when I was a student at CU Boulder. The article briefly mentions his current research but if anyone is interested in the effect a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan would have on the world, this is a sobering read: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/10/191002144251.h...
I got an in-person interview, which didn't go as smoothly.

Even if they prevail, what happens then? Google Ads is broken out into a separate legal entity and suddenly all that tracking going on is legal again. Nothing will have changed except how a few beans are counted.
If only it were that simple.

Just because you pay them doesn't mean they're not tracking you. Look at Windows 10.

And just because they promise not to misbehave doesn't mean they're not subject to secret coercion (e.g. from China) or to getting hacked.

The only solution is for them not to have your data at all. It has to stay on your machine and never be on theirs.
Yes, you got it right!

I'm also working on adding a delayed publishing like in GMail, so you can edit typos even before the thread got published.

I've long desired a language that uses only alphanumeric characters and whitespace with minimal punctuation. Kind of a cross between Haskell and Delphi.
Assuming the fiber optic switches had their ports in the same position, why not just make some tooling to hold the cables in position relative to eachother and turn 600 cables into essentially one 600 pin cable? Or n 600/n pin cables?
It was made the clearest to me when I interviewed a colleague who had left to another company and two years later was interviewing to return. I knew he knew everything and had the skills for the job because, well, I know him, I’d worked with him before. He’d done this very job previously. Yet he still performed terribly in the interview and (rightly or wrongly) I had to base my evaluation on my knowledge of him rather than his performance in the interview. Interviews suck so much for evaluating people. If you want a job and good career progression the best advice has to be prioritize making friends with lots of people.
Not even in a “where do you find them that cheap” way?
I disagree, Python is now stronger than it was years ago. Now all companies that I interact with are magically on Python 3.

They were also estimating that it will take this long.

IMO they should give shorter time to upgrade, because everyone was waiting to absolute last minute to migrate.
Curious to your logic in determining that? As far as I understand it, the freely available digital version of PCL aided in the selling of the dead-tree book?

Embedded is definitely being done in C++. Gaming -- Unreal Engine still uses C++ as I recall. HFT has been mentioned already. Robotics, automation. Lots of stuff is still done in C++ and not going to leave it any time soon.
> What is there to gain financially from killing him, if his previous business was gutted by regulatory changes?

Devil's devil's advocate - the motivation for the killing doesn't need to be "rational" or make sense from our perspective. It could be pathological, it could be revenge, who knows?
I think it's also worth noting that also corresponds with the Actions feature (went GA 11/11/19)
Maybe stop referencing twitter like it's important or relevant?

I rejoined twitter a few months ago, and quit again: it was inciting negative emotions and it felt addictive. The UI made me feel like I was having a mild stroke. It was disorienting.

Having bailed on it again, my take is: generally the loudest and most attention-seeking people are the ones on there making the most noise and seeking attention most thirstily.

Twitter is part of the problem, IMO.
No, it's not. Apart from scheduled downtime when nobody's using it (e.g. restarts in the morning to update the kernel), it's not that hard to beat GitHub's uptime for a small Gitea instance. My power's on more than GitHub is up.

A UPS and a tethered smartphone would get me three nines uptime-while-anyone-needs-it, which is well in excess of what I need.
Why are those “garbage”? It’s true that gay rights have led towards the push for other things like trans rights. And it’s true that liberal media will run front page stories on (relatively rare) police brutality against black people but don’t run stories on (relatively common) black on black violence.
As someone who is actively looking for a sperm storage solution, the name didn't resonate with me, either positively or negatively. In fact, I forgot the name already once today and had to check my messages to find the link (told a friend about the service - very interested).

Nothing about the name as it is now will stop me from becoming a customer, my decision will come down to the results of my research and the answers to my questions.
Having a team with someone remote should force remote first communication practices. This pandemic is going to go on for a while, meaning months and months are likely. If you have the factor of someone on your team being in a high risk category, it feels like there is an obligation to let them be remote 100% until the pandemic subsides. Combine those two and I think if I were in charge of a lease on a building/space I might look at reducing the footprint if there are enough people going remote. Why pay for all that floor space?

There might be a revolution in the tech sector in the sense that remote only/first could be something to attract workers because they could live anywhere and make the going rate for their skills. There are a lot of engineers that don't really care about perks like relaxation pods, meals provided, snacks or whatever.

It might also give some companies a competitive advantage - no leasing office space.

I mean, Stanford didn't even dial back their dealings with Saudi Arabia after MBS did the same thing to Khashoggi (and Trump used veto to sell SA billions of $ in weaponry after the fact).

Like it or not, the US is not going to do anything.
It has definitely changed the sleep habits of my family. However, I've been working and in the office as usual the entire time and my sleep habits have not changed at all. My kids have no reason to get up early and really not much to do in summer. My wife has been mostly off of work, so she maps to what the kids are doing. The biggest struggle for me is having everyone stay up late - I previously had some quiet/alone time in the last hour or so of the day, now I'm going to bed first on many nights.
actual answer: it's right on the border to Germany and has a long history of low-level incidents, and the Germans were starting to get seriously pissed off at that.

It's also the oldest nuclear power plant France was still running.

Oh and also the Rhine valley is seismically active, even if only at a low level.
I'm not sure this time. I had a PR update and kick off a build half an hour or so ago, only to see the build fail because git couldn't parse what it got from the clone operation.
It does exactly what it says on the tin - Google stops collecting data you tell it to stop. This lawsuit, from a quick glance, is about Google not preventing "hundreds of thousands" of third parties from collecting, including third parties building with Google tech.
While withholding some details happens in murder cases, this is the first I've heard of there being voluntary editorial standards that restrict information about the murders of serial killers. In fact, you'd generally think there'd be a voluntary policy to do the opposite given their prevalence in modern media.
This is so true and yet so difficult to control for.
I don't think there's much overlap between "managers who select developers who can be controlled" and "managers who are receptive to new ideas".
What about sunglasses? Why doesn't that feel threatening when you see someone slip on a pair of sunglasses, and a hat? After all sunglasses are a form of a mask for the upper part of the face.
Seems more likely that you just don't notice time passing whilst active (getting your phone out) that you do notice whilst passive (waiting for app launch).

KDE/Plasma does calculations in the launcher - which comes up immediately. Or you could open your console (I use Yakuake) and use bash/python/bc -i/whatever.
The root post is very emotional and personal to the point of not really germane to this discussion as a whole. But it was sweet and heartfelt, and the proper response is to simply let it be, and respond to other branches in this very long discussion thread. If one disagrees with the thesis, they can simply ignore it and engage with a different subthread that advances it using a non-emotional approach.

Being prudent about which battles to fight and which debates to pick up and what statements merit argument is part of understanding social norms.
Without making a value judgment about whether it is the right thing to do, it has been well established that automatic opt-in vs default opt-out numbers favors automatic opt-in ( usually discussed around organ transplant issue ). I agree with you in theory ( as in I know I almost automatically do the opposite once I find someone tries to opt me in without my say so ), but I also know inertia is a powerful force.
I just tried this on Android from F-Droid. I couldn't get past the login page, unfortunately. Bitwarden popped up to auto fill the form, but it didn't work. I tried typing my credentials manually, but it was rough because of the weird quirks with the text boxes. Why does the carat jump to the last character after every keypress? It made it nearly impossible for me to correct a typo. My password is pretty long, which royally confused the password input field. After a certain number of characters, it just stopped displaying anything. It also does not respect my system preference of not displaying the most recently typed character unmasked. Finally, after all that, I clicked login and the button just changed to a spinner forever.

I realize this is alpha quality software, but to claim to be focused on user experience and have such horrible UI issues does not give me any confidence, sadly.
Yeah it's very frustrating - especially if your customers are technical, they are seeing the errors and the status page says everything is fine.

I've seen status pages and error counts tied to bonuses, which only caused a giant mess of bad incentive alignment and internal lies, customers are unhappy, developers are unhappy, management are lying to upper management, it's so much easier to focus efforts on real problems and just be honest and improve. Thank goodness I dont work there anymore (cough cough Google)
Yea I interview (and have sat on HC) at Google, and interviewers who ask these types of questions really frustrate me.

If your question requires having previously memorized or being able to come up with some tricky algorithm on the fly in 45 minutes and code a solution using it, your question is probably bad.

I get why they ask them - they're easy to ask, they're easy to score, and when your question inevitably gets burned because someone posted it all over the internet in their blog post titled "How I got a job at Google!!" and then bumped way up the list on hackerrankcode-whatever I forget the websites... it's easier to come up with a new one, because you just pick a new esoteric algorithm and ask that.

And honestly, coming up with interview questions can take awhile. When you have 5 or 6 very calibrated questions and all of them get burned and banned in a one quarter span, you now have to spend the better part of a whole workweek, plus dozens of more interviews coming up with new questions and recalibrating.

But, I just refuse to ask those types of questions anymore. They really don't give useful signal. The only three bits of signal you get are "does the candidate already know this algorithm (or are they a supergenius who just figured it out under time pressure)? can they communicate it to another engineer? can they write code?"

Importantly if the answer to the first question is no, then you get zero signal on the other two parts. That basically means as an interviewer you just failed your job.
I had a similar experience for my current job. I went to the interview on whim, assuming that I would fail horribly. It was only practice.

Then my brilliant plan was spoiled.

HN crowd might diss this product but if you consider all those execs and managers in medium/large corporations that rely on personal assistants to get their email and meetings sorted out this might be very successful.

Utterings from both the left- and right-wing discourse in the US (and increasingly in Europe) have been reaching almost 100 % applicability of Poe's law, where it is virtually impossible for me to tell whether someone is serious.

What is the actual difference in expenses for running 500W load for a year with a gold or platinum power supply?
Yes, I agree.

However, when I post "Global warming is occurring" and you post "global warming is not occurring", I suspect you will not get very far into exploring your disagreement before you come to a wall, below which are only "ought beliefs". And the same for most points of political disagreement. Very few political arguments online rest on questions of fact.
This was true for me, too.

My previous startup I worked at had gone under, and I was thinking about starting my own. An old coworker of mine invited me to lunch. We had a couple of margaritas, and he asked if I wanted to see his office.

I went to check it out, and suddenly he asks if I can talk to some of his coworkers.

So I basically interviewed while drunk and not fully realizing I was being interviewed.

They offered me the job, and I have been working there for 8 years now.

Maybe the best way to be relaxed during a job interview is to not even realize it is happening. And having a couple of margaritas can't hurt.
Did you meditate before coming into it?
The future is now, I mean in 2016 there were conferences about how easy it is to turn off utilities with a USB key on the ground or checking if they run Windows 98 in their control plants. By law, the power network is listed online to combat climate change and pollution.

In the sense that information has always dictated war, has the world really changed since WW2 in this regard?
Would it be optimal for my self-development to take a job I can perform entirely with shallow work if I only have 4 hours of deep work available per day and no responsibilities outside of my job? Assume I spend my time after my job is finished to develop myself. It may be selfishly optimal to choose the least challenging jobs.
