There are the generic "POLICE" rectangle badges in there too. They are essentially unidentified.
Indeed, to strive to (even more of) perfection, you need to be discontent with the current state of things.

That is, you have to be discontent with things like 99% of the time. Because of this, you'll feel compelled to improve them. But the price of it would be being less than happy most of the time.
We don't at present have an official policy on it, but we'd certainly be open to creating one. (And of course one can always self-host).

What is Slack's adjusted pricing in India/Asia? I don't see it advertised on their website.
It's correct to say "We're not sure".

However, if you demand hard proof before taking any significant action, that's the same thing as demanding that no significant action be taken.

That's a very difficult position to sustain. Not to mention, doing nothing in the face of a huge and deadly pandemic is a very significant action, which you'd be taking without hard evidence.

The reality is, we have to take action and don't have the luxury of time to ensure our decisions are absolutely correct. We need to marshal the evidence we have, have our best experts extrapolate what we don't know and take our best guess as to the most effective course of actions. Of course, one set of actions we can take is to initiate research to gather more evidence and change course in response -- prioritizing things based on level of impact and time/resources it takes to gather the information.

> You're better than this HN.

Making decent decisions in the face of imperfect information is something everyone should try to learn, though it is hard to do well.
That's why I said in my last sentence, that this is all predicated on already having positive cashflow.
Should it be your choice or the creator's choice how you support them?
This is more evidence the news media is self destructing.

“Enterprise stories” are where reporters take the time to learn something rather than just rewrite a press release or someone else’s reporting. This type of reporting has been under pressure for years because it’s expensive and media budgets are very tight. This editor-in-chief is saying the clicks don’t justify the expense.

The story of the destruction of the media is well known but some of the details are underappreciated:

* Individual articles are now the fundamental unit. They are promoted on social media then carefully tracked and evaluated. A hot story get orders of magnitude more clicks/revenue so they focus on trying to produce that an ignore everything else. This narrows the scope tremendously.

* Reporting is no longer a profession but more like a calling similar to the arts. The demands are too high and the pay is too low. It takes sustained outside support (rich family, spouse, sponsor) for most reporters to make it today. Many reporters have strong ideological motivations which substitute for pay but can compromise reporting.

For the reader the bottom line is the news media is no longer the neutral source of information we used to think it was. First it is now highly biased to provoke a response, usually emotional and often just to the headline (clickbait), at this point the job is done, the ad is sold. Second the people writing and editing the stories have strong beliefs coloring their selection and content.

The result is the article contains biased, incomplete and inaccurate information. And once you let that bad information into your head it is very hard to unlearn it. You often know less after reading a news article these days!

...

Fascinating developments. Matt Taibbi has done some good reporting on this but it is typically covered very superficially by media critics. There are a few books I have yet to read but pointers to thoughtful analysis would be appreciated. This is a complex and still evolving issue.
> Doesn't using a framework in this case mean that you also have to at least bundle that framework with the component?

You should depend on any dependencies (including frameworks), but you shouldn't bundle them, exactly so that when an app is bundled it can do the efficient thing and share dependencies.

> What happens if you want 10 components that each use a different framework?

One reason to now use frameworks, but use smaller modern rendering libraries, or none at all. In a large application it's probably not a big deal to use a couple of 3KB libraries - you'd still be far under a typical framework in weight.

> Or some of them use the same framework but different versions?

That should be fine and is a huge reason to use web components. When you have a stable component boundary you can upgrade libraries a component at a time, rather than needing to upgrade the whole application at once. Yes, you might have some overhead during the transition, but at least you aren't stuck. You might not even deploy during the transition, but at least you could. Framework transitions are super tough in monolithic frameworks and I've worked with teams that use web components specially to get around that.

> What about the same version, does that get duplicated for each component or they get shared?

Again, components should be distributed unbundled so that bundlers do the right thing. It's similar to not bundling React with every React component, or jQuery, etc.
Can't wait for 2–5 years from now when most of these have failed, and the One True Way emerges.
> I can imagine that being legal, even then...

Ha! Yea, it's amazing how liberal pilots used to be (at least in relation to kids). As a parent now, I can't fathom the thought process of a pilot trusting a kid (even more so one they don't know) in the cockpit of an in-flight airliner.

But as someone who was able to experience it, I'm forever grateful for those pilots with potentially questionable judgement. The few childhood memories I can recall are vague recollections at best, but those particular memories are so crystalized I still get a sense of elation just recalling the experiences.

It depends on the type of employee. Customer service agents typically don’t work from home (apart from our current situation of course). They often don’t have access to their equipment outside of working hours. This makes it quite a bit more likely that they’ll be charged with some sort of crime.

When you’re someone making near minimum wage in the US, at a job you don’t particularly like, I think the number ends up being significantly lower than a million.
Not so much storing, as exploiting the locally-cheap energy.

Canada for example, was and still is, a major destination for bauxite ore. There are large hydroelectric dams in Quebec dedicated specifically to aluminum smelting.

>A good rule of thumb is that stories should either be shorter than 400 words or longer than 900.

I'm not sure the evidence supports that. The online tech pubs I write for (not news stories), posts/articles tend to be in the 800-1200 word range. Shorter than that and it's hard to get into a topic. Longer than that and people stop reading (as supported by data). If you need 3,000 words, the advice is to turn it into a series.

Shorter may be OK if you're just communicating a fact and no background is needed. Although standard journalism practice would be to hit the new stuff in the first few paragraphs and add more content in inverted pyramid style that provides context.
Good news. There is no login. It's not tied to your Google account.
I will take the other side of that bet. 15 years top. We're at an inflection point economically and politically. If the political will isn't there (of all the things wrong with China, they are at least moving very fast to electrify transportation), you'll buy electric because it's cheaper per mile (half the cost) than internal combustion. Range is solved (Model 3/Y have ~300 miles of range, S/X almost 400, Cybertruck is anticipated to have 500 miles), charging is solved (Fast DC charging networks, Tesla's primarily with others catching up), it's all up to get the cost down a bit more.

Not related to oil directly, but three California utilities did the math and showed peaker plants are no longer cost competitive against solar backed by batteries [1] [2]. The transition to electrify everything is in full swing.

When you see [flagged] on a story it means users flagged it. We don't know why users flag things, but it's probably not hard to understand in this case. The topic is inflammatory, the threads have both been flamewars, and there's not much information to discuss.

Incidentally, some of the users flagging the story are people who, I know from their usernames, are sympathetic to the cause of the protestors. The flagging is therefore not exclusively ideologically driven. Seasoned Hacker News users often flag threads that they feel are bad for the site (e.g. because the thread is a flamewar), separately from their own views on the topic. That's community stewardship, not ideological suppression.

Edit: also, is it really a mystery what's happening here? The article linked at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23867746 seems to explain it pretty well: the feds have sent police to Portland and there's a strong disagreement between the federal government and the state and local governments about whether they should be doing that. If those are the facts, it's not surprising that the threads are flamewars, because there's really not much for commenters to comment on other than to repeat the political commitment they already have.
It's also fairly well understood that familiarity plays a role in brand choice. So, you may not care very much about what brand of toothpaste you buy (as an example), but if you're bombarded with advertisements for Crest, you're more likely to pick Crest. The advertisement isn't really meant to get you to go out and buy Crest RIGHT NOW, or even to get you excited about the next time you buy Crest. It's just there to make sure that next time you need toothpaste and are staring at a wall of functionally identical brands, Crest is the first one that jumps into your mind.
Blame the language for boredom. I think you'll like working at Microsoft. Because they frequently reboot apps, their OS, apis with completely different languages and ui paradigm for absolutely no reason - quite stimulating to the devs.
Lazy Evaluation in Real Life
Because it is. It has been proposed though. I think the only way this could be true is if Tim Cook and many security folks at Apple either failed to detect the exploit, or they did and are all "in on it" and essentially lying about adherence to a core company value.

The requirement of perfect secrecy and vast involvement in a lie is what typically weakens conspiracy theories as not realistic.
Not so sure. Palpitations are often nothing serious, but what I heard is that not feeling your heart beat is normal. Except when you exercise hard. I feel my heart pumping when I lay in bed an my pulse is 60-70 bpm.
Yes? DickTwin's coaching should essentially guarantee this to be true. Maybe rename it to Psychopathy Training.

edit: that said, not all dicks are charming; so it's clearly not 100% success rate.
> From someone who start PHP in 2000 with PHP 2.0

That doesn't add up. There was no "PHP 2.0"; the language was still referred to as PHP/FI at that point. And PHP 3 was released in 1998 -- by 2000, I have a hard time believing you would have still been using PHP/FI, which was a much more limited tool.

In Fortran, there is the ieee_arithmetic intrinsic module that can very nicely and robustly handle undefined behavior. If people do not use it, it is their problems.
Why? It's western Colorado. There's nothing out there except land. The sky at night is black. Something flying in the night sky will be flying above tree lines requiring the observer to be looking up. I honestly don't know why you'd be expecting a full on feature film production level of equipment to be available to someone that happens to notice a drone flying and trying to capture it. There's a reason certain activities take place in the dead of night. Avoiding being seen is one of them. What's the confusion? I get it's "disappointing" to not see everything, but if everything could be seen in the footage there'd not be mystery/intrigue.
So you're saying Google (YouTube) should share some of their lion's share of cheddar with content creators?

Evolution came up with a range of tools that each work best in different situations.

If you're never kind, collaboration and group effort become hard. People don't want to join you. You will miss opportunities to strengthen your group. In the long run, your line will lose out.

If you're never "grumpy" or bad tempered or forceful, you'll just get obliterated eventually by some great force randomly sweeping the neighborhood. Do not think it never happens. Sometimes the best response is force.

And then there's everything else in between.

It's a range, and all components are there for a reason - they performed well in the evolutionary past, so they got included in the toolkit. Use it, and use it wisely.

The optimum is not a narrow point - it's a wide range of diverse responses. Width is crucial.
But wasn't this precisely the case with Python? Guido was also its Benevolent Dictator for Life, and Python also placed high value on ease of use, and that there should be only one obvious way of doing something (without being dogmatic).

Did Python stray from this? Occasionally yes. Did PHP with Laravel? I'm going to guess also yes.
Yup. Hypochondria is what they told me as well. But in my opinion, most of the doctors don't experience this on their own, they read it in books and studies. That's why they often can't really help you.
It's implicit. Not only software needs iteration.

Design documents also need iteration, because there's always something that was overlook, something that just escaped common sense, and so on.

In other words: Code can have bugs. Design documents also can have bugs, and the latter are almost never fixed.

Why is that? Because fixing a design document involves negotiations and changing budgets.
A lot of people simply aren't afraid. There is very little you can do bridge the gap between people who live in fear and those that do not.

To put it starkly, most of the death has been confined to nursing homes and most people don't see it. Most people don't know anyone who has died of COVID. It is not that deadly of a pandemic yet.

Surging cases isn't surging death. There has been a very small uptick in deaths as the virus spreads through the South, but not nearly as big as the surge in cases. Meaning more people are living through it.

It is easy to pretend things are normal and the only thing standing in the way of the unafraid people living normally are the scared people.

The scared people like to talk about all the unknowns. Who knows how many will have lasting damage? Who knows if you can get reinfected?

The not scared people are okay with the uncertainty. Every day you get into your car you could die in a car accident, you don't get torn up about the unknowns.

I've said this from the beginning, if this disease killed more people of prime age, the response would be very different.

But it is very hard to scare the confident, unafraid people into submission the way the virus spreads and kills right now.
Serious Eats is about as close as I've come to a site like this.

Maat – the Egyptian goddess of justice, wisdom, the stars, morality, and harmony
That's a strawman along with an exaggeration. I never said to not make assumptions. If you are a doctor or scientist specializing in disease then I'd love to hear your assumptions. It's the layman persuasive arguments in here that are a waste of everyone's time. If doctors don't know - and plenty of doctors are willing to say "we just don't know that yet" - then you don't know either.
Almost like things were before the big conglomerates.
Website that lets you scream into Iceland
I talked recently with an executive at a very large SV company. It was mentioned that people can work remote and live in other areas but the pay is adjusted based on the area they are moving to. I do not know how common this is but I assume it isn't unheard of. (this was pre-pandemic policy BTW)
neat, i remember running across that a while back, but promptly forgot about it. thanks for the reminder!

With Apple and Amazon pushing ARM this hard, we should see some amazing chips in the next 5-10 years.

I haven't been this exited about hardware in a long time. Maybe it's because of my Raspberry Pis, but I'm childishly giggly.
Is CO2 emissions a large issue in global warming? When I was a little kid, I was wondering why having a greenhouse effect was bad for plants since we put them in greenhouses. I've been convinced by years that people smarter than me thought it was bad and I wasn't smart enough to understand.
Freeman Dyson changed my mind when I saw his interviews, detailing how CO2 has gone up a lot but it hasn't greatly increased the temperature, how it's good for vegetation growth and diversity, and how the climate models are just fluid dynamics and they don't show the full picture.
I've heard of a lot of FUD on it but what he says makes sense to me. I don't see a reason to worry about it when there are bigger issues, ocean acidification is a much larger world worry.
None of the lower carbon emission agreements are binding either, which shows how seriously they take it. Elites simply want to use it as a control for slowing developing countries under the guise of "saving the world".

We've changed the environment with buildings, cities, America used to have skies blackened by passenger pigeons so you could shoot a shotgun randomly at the sky and kill a bunch, turtles used to roam freely until the great depression caused everyone to eat them. Mao told everyone to kill the birds until their crops were devastated by insects and they had to import them back. This is not doomsday. The fossils we use for fuel used to live in a much more diverse and warm climate.
Yes, they’ll sell more as they get cheaper.
Google Tink is an encryption library providing a high level API for common cryptography problems. Such as authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD). In a similar vein to libsodium, it's designed to not let you shoot yourself.

OpenSSL and it's forks expose the primitives directly, but as is the usual advice, don't roll your own crypto and say "We're using RSA 2048" because you copied an example from stack overflow without padding.
'Avant-garde', as a military term, is obsolete in English; the English word is now 'vanguard'.

'Skirmish line', to my knowledge, has no accepted non-military uses, but even if it did the interviewee is clearly referring to the military formation and therefore considering the protesters to be hostile enemies.
Same reason, more room to cram ads you have to scroll past to see the actual recipe.
Facebook so frequently breaks the law that the US government would be well within its rights to simply seize the entire operation through eminent domain, freeze all assets, and prosecute all of its executives and senior management.

The last 3 years I've been very happy with "YouTube Vanced", in particular because of: background play, native adblocking, fully native logged in experience if desired, AND it switches to audio only encode if background play is enabled so it saves data.

Linux servers don't (and shouldn't) have GUI libraries installed. A procmon-like tool would then be a server component, that'd be invoked over, maybe, a ssh session, and a client component that'd expose that functionality over a GUI or a web page.

That's a lot of work for a simple tool when a text-based terminal interface solves the problem very neatly. Personally, I'd do it with strace, sysdig or something else that would spit a long text file I could parse rather than updating a terminal screen.

Between 1998 and 2003 my house in Minneapolis doubled in value. A year later (after I sold) it had gone up by 50%.

Tripling in value after 11 years, when you bought at the bottom of the market doesn't seem surprising at all.

From the Wikipedia article you linked: "The condition is not recognized by the American Psychiatric Association, American Medical Association or the World Health Organization." It's under the section titled "Controversy_related_to_policing_techniques".[1]

Just because something is well-known and documented doesn't mean it's recognized as a medical or psychological condition. Sometimes it can be that medicine hasn't caught up, and sometimes it's BS.

The fact that all countable subsets of the real numbers have Lebesgue measure zero (as proved in the video) implies that the real numbers are uncountable. Otherwise the real numbers would have Lebesgue measure zero, which is absurd.

I'm surprised this is getting downvoted. A lot of my friends are leaving or considering leaving cities exactly for this reason.

A lot of small businesses got destroyed in riots as well, and I imagine their owners would be leaving too.
From your own link:

> The condition is not recognized by the American Psychiatric Association, American Medical Association or the World Health Organization. Critics of excited delirium have stated that the condition is often attributed to deaths while in the custody of law enforcement and is disproportionately applied to black and Hispanic victims.

This doesn't mean that it still isn't a thing. There are plenty of very real conditions that aren't yet officially recognized but when you have the current body of experts explicitly denying its existence your burden of proof is a lot higher.
