I believe one of the main benefits of demos is to expose that disconnect.

You can ask people to think through how the software should work, and they may earnestly do their best, and they may give you clear answers about what they truly believe they want. But put the actual software in front of them and show it in operation or (better) have them try to use it, and suddenly a bunch of new insights will become crystal clear to them.

In theory, people could reason through all this stuff, but it's not how most people's minds work. It's a natural tendency to avoid engaging your mind in what feels too hypothetical. Most people need to feel like they're in the actual situation before the mental juices really start flowing.

The corollary is that the earlier you can do a demo, the less time you waste working toward requirements that are wrong. If all other things are equal, doing demos as early as possible should minimize that.

Not true, you can sell to close back into the market without exercising. This is what most options traders do.

Also you can easily get them for "free" in a manner of speaking, if you use something like a bull put spread. You sell a naked leg of the position that pays for the purchase of the other leg.
That's why people join unicorns. All the comp and potential equity upside of FAANG, less bureaucracy, greater urgency, more sexy work or technologies.
With which part do you disagree and what is your basis for that?
I mean, what if you just don't?

at my company, raises have more to do with the financial situation of the company than subjective reviews (although we do have these, they just don't factor into compensation that much). if the company is doing well, everyone gets a nice raise. everyone gets the same percentage bonus every year which is calculated based on the entire company's performance. maybe this makes us unattractive for very competitive people, but it leads to a very cooperative environment. senior devs don't really have anything to lose by spending a few hours helping newer people, so they just do it.
I find the scrolling quite fast. Do you have a huge amount of unread messages by chance? I think I remember some issue where a gigantic amount of unread messages can reduce performance. There's a 'mark all messages as read' button.
> The Internet Archive is a well-known, widely beloved non-profit digital library which provides free public access to collections of digitized materials. In partnership with the GitHub Archive Program, the Internet Archive (IA) commenced its ongoing archive of GitHub public repositories on April 13 of this year. At present, IA is using a two-pronged approach. First, their well-known Wayback Machine is accessing and archiving raw GitHub data as WARCs, or Web ARChive files. As of this writing they have archived some 55TB of data. Second, they have the goal of making entire archived GitHub repositories available via “git clone,” while also keeping repo comments, issues, and other metadata easily accessible on the web. This second initiative is well underway and initial archiving is expected to commence this month.

Tremendous news.
I do agree that downvoting sometimes has a chilling effect on Reddit, but that doesn't seem relevant to the discussion on social capital accumulation and the domination of a platform by these traditionally socially powerful users, at least in the same way that other platforms are.

The point was to discuss how Reddit, Hacker News, and other message boards utilizing pseudonymous voting are not monopolized by brands, celebrities, and businesses in the same way that Twitter and Facebook are. The discourse is still more egalitarian than the alternatives, and it isn't these traditional cultural leaders that dominate discussion on Reddit.

This isn't to speak on issues of astroturfing, echo chambering, or misinformation, but these aren't relevant to the discussion, and aren't unique issues to Reddit.
IIRC, last year Apple setup a server within China for holding the iCloud security keys for the Chinese-owned iPhones? Definitely some collaboration there..
His full quote for people to judge for themselves:

>“When you have a person that has the lack of pigment, the lack of melanin, they know that they will be annihilated,” Mr. Cannon said during the June podcast. “So therefore, however they got the power, they have the lack of compassion — melanin comes with compassion, melanin comes with soul. We call it soul — we’re soul brothers and sisters — that’s the melanin that connects us, so the people that don’t have [melanin] are a little, and I’m going to say this carefully, are a little less.”

>“They’re acting out of fear, they’re acting out of low self-esteem, they’re acting out of a deficiency,” he continued. “So therefore, the only way that they can act is evil. They have to rob, steal, rape, kill in order to survive. So then, these people who didn’t have what we have — and when I say we, I speak of the melanated people — they had to be savages. They had to be barbaric because they’re in these Nordic mountains. They’re in these rough environments. They’re acting as animals, so they’re the ones that are actually closer to animals. They’re the ones that are actually the true savages.”
Why are you still arguing with me when I agreed with you?
The things that actually kill people should get more attention, yes.

It was a chain of failures that started years ago and we ignored the people telling us otherwise. But even then, it took a lot to put it in a situation like this.

As for my basement, no thanks. That's just stupid. People are so scared about things that cannot hurt them that they just say no instead of saying do it correctly without cutting corners. Verify it is done correctly. Nuclear waste storage isn't a bunch of green barrels hastily piled up with green ooze making Ninja Turtles. It's engineered concrete vessels that can survive without leaking during transport accidents. And then the tolerances have been increased. Then they are put deep down into the earth below the water table, several km below the surface, in geologically stable areas. Even then, they plan for failures and how to mitigate them. Layers of protection. These are the consultations going on in Canada right now, and people freaking over it. In the mean time it has been above group in vessels for decades next to the great lakes.
Critiques of the “capitalist system” would be better if you articulated a system that worked better on balance. In other words, a system that solves for these problems, but which introduces many other, worse problems (e.g., famine, ethnic cleansing, imprisonment/execution of political dissenters, etc) is not a better system on balance. If we struggle to find such an improved system, it probably means that the current capitalist system simply needs some reform in order to optimize it—perhaps this means better regulation of the markets, more socialization in a few key areas (e.g., healthcare, etc), or reducing government corruption. This would make for a much improved conversation, IMHO.

EDIT: a lot of people seem to be taking issue with this comment, but I don’t understand the gripe. Presumably the logic is sound that critiques are more interesting if they discuss tradeoffs? Or maybe there is some obvious system that lacks all of the problems of our current system and introduces none of its own? Surely no one is downvoting this because they don’t like our current system but can’t identify a better one...
i’d suggest they stay out of business they can’t be successfully at. if your strategy is to ride the entrenched windows desktop vs. make an awesome product that people love then you will lose in the long run.
When I had serious depression a while ago trying to find treatment was a seriously depressing experience. I went through several therapists which I didn’t click with and made me just feel worse. When you are already down it‘s very hard to do these attempts because they require a lot of effort and building of trust Every disappointment takes you down even further then . I know people who have had great success with treatment but I also know quite a few people who got more depressed trying to find therapy unsuccessfully.

But yeah this is bizarre “let’s invent things that we want” level stories
I understand what you were saying. I'm saying it's exactly the same thing.

Let's say there are 3 customers who each buy a $98 item at a retailer: customers A, B, and C.

If all three paid with cash, the retailer would receive $294, so the net change would be:

Retailer: +$294
Customer A: -$98
Customer B: -$98
Customer C: -$98

But they don't all pay in cash: customer A pays cash, customer B pays with a card that gets 1% cash back, customer C pays with a card that doesn't get cash back. They all buy a $98 item at a retailer.

The credit card company charges 3% in fees, or ~$3 for each of the CC customers, so the retailer is now making $288. So they raise the price of the item to $100. Now all three customers are paying $100 each, the retailer is making $294 again, and the credit card company is making $6. Customer B has a card that gets 1% cash, so they receive $1. Now the net change is:

Retailer: +$294
CC: +$5
Customer A: -$100
Customer B: -$99
Customer C: -$100

Now, the way I'm summarizing this situation, is customers A and C have each given $2 to the credit card company, and customer B has given $1 to the credit card company.

You're saying, customers A, B, and C have given $2 to the credit card company, and customer A (the one paying in cash) has given $1 to customer B (the one receiving cash back). That's technically not wrong--it's certainly a way to represent the cash flow that gets you to the same place--but it's a pedantic, inane difference, and it certainly isn't a "correction".
Anti-phishing training (and PCI in general) has made very little difference in my experience as a practitioner. Like most security remedies, there is no data to back up its efficacy, and no standard for how it should be done.

News content is being reported directly on Twitter because the internet spoiled consumers into not having to pay for reporting. The online advertising model effectively did "defund" publications by forcing them to write low-quality content that people would click on instead of paying for.
> But in reality, they are neighbors and China has (or is in the process of) replacing Russia as the #2 power.

China is well beyond replacing Russia as a world power. Russia's GDP is ~1.658 trillion USD, which puts it below Canada. China's GDP? ~13.61 trillion USD.

Russia is pretty much a washed up has-been with nukes.

> Half the time the website doesn't even load (!!!). That's insane.

I’d assumed Twitter showing me “an error occurred” on about 50-75% of inbound link-follows to their site, across multiple browsers on multiple operating systems, was an intentional “feature” to drive me to their app.

First off, this isn't a "study", the vast majority of journalists are non-technical people with limited understanding of statistics or science.

Second, they looked at 3 states out of 50. Yes I understand that's where the majority of mail in voting happens currently. That's about to change.

Third, they ignored states with larger populations of illegal immigrants.

Fourth, they ignored opt out motor voter laws which, combined with laws which give illegals drivers licenses (in at least 2 states currently) and automatically register them to vote unless they opt out.

Long story short, wapo found what it wanted find, consumers read what they wanted to read.
Me? Hahaha. I don't "follow" anyone. I don't have any social media account. Haven't had one in five years, and I encourage everyone to do the same. I don't even use WhatsApp, for Christ's sake, and virtually everyone in my country uses it hourly! I'm responsible alright. Can you make the same claim?
Gross. Put it in a museum.
Looks mostly fine to me, maybe some are over the top but these are cherry picked examples. Most of these situations there is riot police trying to clear an area. Do what you're told. Most people are hanging around waiting for a fight to start then complain when one happens. And dont say we need more protesting, there are plenty peaceful protests around. I'm glad I'm not a cop you couldn't pay me enough to put up with that.
Lots of early votes didn't count because they were cast for politicians who dropped out. Actually, no votes other than Biden's counted since Bernie dropped out before the race ended as well. Yes, the odds were stacked against him by the party, but that doesn't change the fact that he did have a chance and could have given Biden a good run. So when you don't actually have a race and everyone drops out, what do you expect? The party will simply not allow progressive candidates to rise to any position of power. Maybe once the current old guard dies out, but I'm not holding my breath.

Propublica has done some of the best reporting I've read recently. Example the story with the USS Fitzgerald [0]. I don't remember anything as good in recent memory.

However, that doesn't mean everything they do has the same standard nor all their journalists approach their work with the same type of journalistic rigor. I think we need to judge every article on its own merit and not just based on some brand value alone.

I know of them, but I can never remember them, and I wouldn't know how to search for them. I'm not sure what they were thinking when they came up with inaccessible accessibility terms.
Honestly I found Zulip way too confusing. Am I the only one?
Just because something is soft it's not necessarily invalid. I would argue the phrase means that you experience certain emotional reactions when around other people. You are capable of putting yourself in the shoes of another person and relating to them. And you respond in kind with the emotional reactions of your friends and family members. And additionally I would add the requirement that you also consider how those other people would react to what you are about to do.

I know those aren't scientifically definable notions, but if I've learned anything in the past 10 years its that science isn't the only way to say interesting things about the human experience. It's just what most educated people reach for.

It's something you know intellectually, but MAN it's wild to see it in action.
> They will face no consequences...

> Can you even _imagine_ the absolute chaos that would rein if...

I think everyone has their own media diet, influenced partly by their own choices and partly by algorithms. Your media diet likely has a huge effect on whose reactions you see and thus which reactions you perceive to be "brushing something off" or "absolute chaos."
It's rare that I've run into such issues when using Python for building trading algorithms - most of the overhead (for me) seems to be building a strategy using the data that you have available. Numerical computing libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, and so on in the Python ecosystem make this much easier to do in Python.

I feel like static typing would get in the way there, making code more verbose and more difficult to prototype while running possibly thousands of backtests (e.g, to tune hyperparameters of your model) but if that your preference, by all means, Rust should be usable for that.
my current EDC is a Benchmade 940-1 (S90V) - love it. used to EDC a Spyderco Centofante 4 (VG-10), but the flat blade profile is not a great all-arounder.
This is the case (and it's okay)!

Every message (other than PMs) is within a topic thread which is within a stream.

This can be structured by having ongoing social threads but users do need to know that they should respond to existing "broad topic ongoing" threads instead of creating a new micro-thread for every message.

We structure the Streams into roughly:

- company-wide announcements

- org streams

- team streams

- social

then within #social you could have ongoing topics like "books", "weekend", "music", etc...

You can also restrict stream access as needed (only team members can view the team stream).

If this were to become popular what would stop someone from building something to do the reverse of this, e.g. see if the item could be cheaper if you bought it as another customer/from another device/computer/location?
It's also being reported there because it's an insanely fast way to reach people. Instead of them having to check the news organization's main page to see if anything happened, they can subscribe to their account on Twitter, turn on notifications and get it the moment it breaks.

Granted, Twitter is still a horrible place for long-form news (which is why it links to the full articles) and an even worse one for discussions. Which is why a different platform for instant updates could be beneficial, since news will have to adapt anyway.

Whenever someone says something nice about my work I ask them “can I have that in writing?”. Then I go onto explaining that if they liked what I’ve done, by supporting me they can get more. It’s annoying that we have to do that in the workplace but it works.

Interesting to hear someone from the police respond to the actions of those officers.

And regarding this quote:

> Law enforcement experts stressed that viral protest videos, while visceral, only show a moment in time and may miss what officers were facing outside of the frame.

Isn't that what body cameras are for? If we only have one source of video, then it's hard for police to justify saying, "That wasn't the whole story."
Forgive me while I try to fix the formatting on this comment (it was breaking the page layout). HN's markdown to HTML translator is choking here...

Edit: ok, a line break has been visited upon the ninth generation. I think that's the minimal fix.

The problem is that very long lines of code that the browser interprets as a single word end up blowing HN's table layout. We're working on a fix.
Somehow we had like 15 users and not one of them managed to make a comment that wasn't a new thread - like I said though, it was like 2 years ago. Either there was a bug, or it was a design decision, or maybe even a misconfiguration on the server - regardless it got a hearty thumbs down by the community and we went on to try matrix. I was hoping for Zulip since it was a way easier install than matrix + riotweb was, especially since we wanted to self host everything. In the end all the bugs we had in riotweb and the phone apps were enough for us to jump for MM, which has its own problems but was most in line with what we wanted.

Anyway, if Zulip isn't thread-first, then I guess it's less a competitor to Teams than I thought. The only way we found to make teams work for us and our very small team is to keep everything in a named joint chat and everyone utterly ignores the channels like the plague. It's always amusing when someone posts something to a channel for the first time in weeks/months and then people start responding thinking it's chat and every. single. response. becomes a new thread, because they didn't respond inside the original thread.
I doubt there is, they are too inexpensive to replace. Cheap ones go for < $100 bucks so people just dispose of broken ones and buy a new one (electronics people will harvest parts from the broken one first). Even a nice Microwave is $150-300 most places, anything more and you are paying for some gimmick usually. My point on that is putting effort into writing software and connecting everything is just not worth the time & effort, unless you just want to play around of course.
Positive feedback is great in reinforcing good behavior, for sure. I think the difference is when positive feedback about a coworker is directed towards management which, since there's an adversarial nature underlying most workplaces, you are acting as someone else's public relations spokesperson for free. I'm not saying that people should never point out the excellence of their coworkers to management; what I'm saying is that the mechanics of the workplace make this behavior rare and simply not worth the effort in most cases. The safest thought pattern for one's sanity is to give praise, but never expect that praise to be reciprocated.
