And this cluelessness is then abused by contractors. With flanking maneuvers targeting political leadership. No clear cut corruption, but the lines get blurry.

Fun fact, for a very long time German companies could declare bribes paid abroad in their taxes. Legally. Seems that a lot of people didn't get the memo that bribery was, indeed, illegal now.
Why weren't officials demanding everyone wear condoms all the time during the HIV scare?
I think this goes two ways. Yes, management is failing to manage creative work. But in too many companies (and I’m not talking about startups full of youngsters straight out of college) staff has also lost the ability to be creative, take ownership, and push their own ideas. It is very easy to fall into a “I wasn’t told to do so” routine. This is obviously a reinforcing circle
A problem in Qt would still be a problem in Qt regardless of which platform the library is being used (and it runs on LOTS of platforms). It's hardly an OS problem.

Love it, and maybe you have heard of Diogenes and the Cynics (literally 'dog-like').

"There are four reasons why the Cynics are so named. First because of the indifference of their way of life, for they make a cult of indifference and, like dogs, eat and make love in public, go barefoot, and sleep in tubs and at crossroads. The second reason is that the dog is a shameless animal, and they make a cult of shamelessness, not as being beneath modesty, but as superior to it. The third reason is that the dog is a good guard, and they guard the tenets of their philosophy. The fourth reason is that the dog is a discriminating animal which can distinguish between its friends and enemies. So do they recognize as friends those who are suited to philosophy, and receive them kindly, while those unfitted they drive away, like dogs, by barking at them."[0]

Ask HN: Encrypted Storage with File Requests?
We are struggling with sharing small but confidential files (SPII) between us and customers.
When we discuss PoC with customer, we usually exchange smaller batch of data, like Excel sheets, encrypted through email.
We have S3 set-up for processing any bigger load of data after that.

As you can guess email is not ideal and I really don't like it from a security standpoint. If we try to go directly with S3, the business user is usually not too tech-savvy to get the CLI going.

Giving him a GUI, like Cloudberry, requires involvement of IT department, which as you can guess, takes quite a big of time in any reasonable bigger company and slows the process down.

I looked at Dropbox, Box, SpiderOak, Syncplicity, and Sookasa, but none of them fit the need.
Basically I'm looking for a SaaS (preferably) offering that has the following features:
* Browser client or support for Windows and macOS
* File requests with password support
* 2FA to access the files
* File residency options or located in Europe
* SOC2, HIPAA, ISO or any equivalent security certificate
* Access logs and auditable at least on IP level
* User-friendly and accessible for non-technical people

Nice to have:
* File upload (through file requests) without an account
* Zero knowledge encryption and open-sourced

I might just want too much though...
Do you have your own solution? Is there something that I can host myself (rather not)?
Thanks to Microsoft, the crapware arrives at GitHub. I'm looking forward to a long future of disabling ads* that have been automatically added to my profile page.

* Yes, this is an ad for a GitHub project that I didn't ask to be a part of and give zero farts about. Depicting me as some kind of deliberate contributor is false.
I think it's still pretty cool :) Although like the author, I shudder to think what people might think of my code 1,000 years from now (let alone what people think of it now ;)
Copyright applies to the prose itself, though—the word choice and ordering.

A site like the one I'm describing doesn't have to use the same words the original site uses. In fact, I'd really hope it wouldn't, since these sites almost never use a standardized vocabulary, and in fact try as hard as they can to make their recipes into interesting prose (i.e. using a different word in reference to something each time they reference it) at the expense of clarity.

The "boiled-down form" of these recipes, would look less like prose text, and more like an RDF graph linking ingredient-noun vertices together using action-verb edges.

In fact, now that I think about it, it could probably be stored in a format machine-readable enough to function equally well as machinima choreography for a "cooking simulator", i.e. an HTML5 canvas app with an engine approximating a cooking game (e.g. Cooking Mama) but without the "game" part.

Such a "timeline view" of the recipe could actually keep track of the collection of pots/pans/bowls/etc. required in the recipe, and then visually display the current state of what's in each of them at each step, as you scroll through each step in the recipe's timeline. Like a visual debugger, for food.

The textual representation of the recipe would just be generated from that same non-textual data format, via a simple structured NLP rule-set. (Yes, you could instead throw the sort of algorithms they're using to generate baseball news coverage[1] at the problem, but we want standardized text, not stylized text.) Bonus: i18n for free. The normalized recipe data isn't "in" any language, so it's equally easy to write a ruleset for generating recipe-step prose that is in any language.

The resultant text of such a generative process shouldn't be copyright-infringing, even if it matched some other recipe word-for-word by coincidence. When you "extract" only the bare facts from a work and discard the rest, you're not making a derivative work; a work of yours that employs those "extracted" facts is not a derivative of the source of those facts. (If it were, then every summary or review of a work, would be in violation of the copyright of the work it's summarizing or reviewing, since the bare facts referenced were gleaned from the original work.)

You can go back further. They were writing articles about this in 03 and 04. They aren't right about everything but they will publish stuff about high valuations, etc.

Also, just generally, they aren't particularly "neoliberal" (I am not quite sure what that means but okay). Since the editor switch, there has been a massive, massive change in style (I have been reading since the early 2000s...Mickelthwait, the guy in the OP, was actually the best...he is a legend).
not to mention the "play in background" functionality that google anti-featured away.
I'm not in favor of this attitude. If the wound is widening exponentially and you stop it from widening that's a big step in solving the issue. Basically you can move from containment to treatment.

Taking steps towards solving an issue doesn't mean anyone is claiming we solved it or doesn't recognize that we still have hundreds of miles ahead in our journey. But rather you use the past success as motivation to build momentum. You should look at the past and say "hey, we've made measurable and meaningful change. Small, but it shows that what we're doing is working. Now is the time to fight harder." Revel in that success and use it to fuel your efforts. I believe putting these things in a negative light instead paints a picture that we haven't gotten far and that our efforts aren't working. Thus disheartening people and turns them apathetic. ("There's nothing I can do")

Perspective matters.

YES! I don't want your backstory. I don't want to be mean but I'm just not that interested in you Mr./Ms. random Internet poster. I would often just close the tab if I see these recipes. I didn't realize it was because of SEO. I thought it was some ego thing among the writers.

This site has recipes in exactly the format I want and it is to the point:

This whole fake positivity thing is very US centric I feel. I remember that Walmart tried to expand here to Germany and failed, and one of the reasons I heard was that the culture of constantly smiling cashiers actually freaked customers out, and employees were stressed by 'company chants' in the morning, which I didn't even knew existed.

Many of the things mentioned in the article I don't find at all surprising. When in challenging or sad situations it's only reasonable to be grumpy, or pessimistic or what have you. Negative emotions or feelings are part of our natural range and appropriate depending on the cirumstances. Forced positivy to me always has something ghoulish, Truman-show like.

One particular thing that I've noticed about very optimistic people is that they (not always) but sometimes tend to have an overly inflated sense of agency even in situations where they are objectively not in control. When something goes wrong in these cases people like that tend to blame themselves more than appropriate. I think this can be the source of a lot of frustration.

Just keep in mind: sometimes there's a fine line between being grumpy and being an asshole.
Did you try Mirtazapine? I could not sleep because my body would "randomly" produce adrenaline. I would feel my heart frequently. I woke up at night, typically at 2 or 3, and could not fall asleep again.

Mirtazapine is not an SSRI, but it is an anti-depressant that blocks adrenaline receptors. My resting-heartrate went from 95 to 55 from one day to another.

The first few days my body felt a little heavy, but after that I had absolutely no side effects at all.
I think Supreme Court justices should be appointed to a single 20-year term so that they will not cling to positions until the political party they favor is in power. This would take a constitutional amendment.
What's not mentioned in the article is that grumpiness is also associated with self-criticism. Look, I am a grumpy and cynical person in general. I play the piano as a hobby. I've played for almost 25 years at this point. Many people compliment me on my playing, and objectively, perhaps they're right. However, when I hear myself, I can't stand it. It drives me up the wall, and as I play, in my mind, I still sound like the five year old whose parents just enrolled him in piano lessons. It sounds bad to me continuously, but others seem to like it (and I've also won awards and such, so i know it's not just poor taste on my listener's parts).

But really, this kind of unfulfilable self-expectation leads to more practice, more doing, and more motivation. It's hard to motivate yourself when you think you're already the best at what you do (or are happy with however good you are right now). When you cannot stand the way you sound on the piano though, and you keep practicing to reach a the metaphorical carrot, then you naturally get better.
I don't think it's clear that YouTube actually makes a profit.
Another annoying trait of padded out news stories:

"President Trump tweeted today that '...[full quote of tweet]...'" then inevitably followed by a screenshot (or two!) of the tweet, often together with a caption that repeats the whole tweet again.

Why does every news article about a tweet have to include a screenshot of the tweet, when you quoted the whole damn thing in the main story? These pictures don't paint a thousand words...
I assume by "importance of project" you mean your importance to the project? I agree that there's probably a balance to be struck there. But also, I think that choosing what repos to show in the badge isn't really that important so any simple heuristic is fine.

Agreed. I respect that HN doesn't want to be the place for that dialogue - having apolitical spaces is probably a key component of finding common ground - but I struggle to identify anywhere where it could happen nowadays.
A dialog might look reasonable, smart even, but it often contains serious flaws when the questions get harder. This is quite dangerous if people believe the output. Being expressive and being right are quite different.

Note: We might have something that looks very much like AGI quite a while before we do AGI.

Examples:

Me: What do you think of Donald Knuth's literate programming?

"Paul Graham: In general, the concept of literate programming is bad. They're hard to read, and take too much time to write. They are usually unnecessary, because the natural separation between content and implementation is usually fine. Usually, it's better to not look at the code at all and to just read the comment in order to understand."

-----

I asked the exact same question to "Paul Graham" in multiple sessions and always got different answers, many of which are quite problematic:

Me: If you need to pick between a short, but cryptic program and longer, but clearer code, which one would you pick? and why?

"Paul Graham: I would pick the shorter program if it was the same length as the longer program. If they were different lengths, I would pick the shorter one if it contained a bug. I would pick the longer program if it contained a bug. I would pick the shorter program if the longer one contained a bug that had already been fixed in the shorter one."

Another "Paul Graham" with the exact same question:

"Paul Graham: A succinct program is usually the clearer one. Clear code explains its reason for existing, succinct code just exists. For example the following program is not very clear and is hard to follow. for i <- 1 to 1000, j <- 1 to 1000 if i + j < 0 fail with Exit"

I applaud the effort, but this should not be used for serious purposes, like teaching children (or adults).

You don't know how good you have it. The low level corruption is the thing that eats away at your soul and poisons your day to day life.

High level corruption? Awful, but we have that too.

But having to bribe the nurse so that your grandma gets painkillers (or toilet paper!) in the hospital? Having to bribe the police officer to get your driver's license? Having to bribe the lady at the counter working for the City Hall, so that you can actually get papers you need this year, not 2 years from now?

That really messes with your head!
The article says nothing about corruption.
Thanks, the original redirects to a suspended page now.
Possible explanation. But I think it is more like someone took advantage of the situation after the news have been undermining their own credibility for decades.
Sure. There are advantages to being within range of a major city for the occasional day/evening trip or weekend: eating out, airport, theater, health care, etc.

That said, some of those things are less of a big deal for some people than others and stretching the distance to, say, a 2 hour drive increases the area that you could potentially live in enormously if you don't need to worry about a commute. (And for a rare visit to an office, you can just stay at a hotel if you're normally remote.)

Of course, for some, there are advantages to living somewhere that is truly remote.
In a previous job, some coworkers and my boss perceived me as being grumpy. Resting B*tch Face, more reserved, generally didn't partipate in break time video game sessions. In reality I just wanted to get my work done and go home to the family. It was one of (though not the reason) I was let go from that position. I've tried to learn from that experience, but still struggle with fitting in with those who think work is social hour and seem to get ahead by schmoozing and not head-down work. I know it's a balance, but it seems rigged for the outwardly social.
It really is great! Been using it for years. Tends to break sometimes, but lately not. Especially great for audio as background sound
One place I think this falls short is that it doesn't seem to take the teacher's perspective into account at all. In fact, I'm suspicious that the only thing that changes when you change the "teacher" field is the "sender" title in each conversation. For example, I asked the same question of two famous individuals...

Me: What do you think of the current social unrest in the United States?

Jean Luc Picard: I think it's terrible. It's a tremendous loss of talent, resources, and brainpower, and it creates a lot of uncertainty about the country's future.

Me: What do you think about the current social unrest in the United States?

Adolf Hitler: We all need to get out there and resist!

Me: Who do we need to resist?

Adolf Hitler: First, Trump. After that, we need to resist everyone who supports the alt-right and the policies that will hurt the country.

Me: What's wrong with Trump?

Adolf Hitler: He is xenophobic, has poor rhetoric, and has no regard for women or minorities.

Me: What is xenophobia?

Adolf Hitler: A fear or hatred of foreigners or strangers.

Me: Are you xenophobic?

Adolf Hitler: No. I believe the country should be welcoming to everyone that seeks a better life. I have many friends from diverse backgrounds.

Me: Are there some people who don't belong in a great country?

Adolf Hitler: No, everyone is welcome.
This isn't Economics...I tried to explain this in my first post. Marxist history != Marxism. They overlap significantly but most economic history until the 1990s was Marxist because it emphasised economic determinism (and, in fact, a lot of economics these days is Marxist in this sense too). The implications of economic determinism are slightly more complex (even Lenin did not completely buy it) but it is different from the layman's understanding of Marxism.

To give you an example, Adam Tooze (who has written a ton of very good books on economic history) is a Marxist historian.
Natural gas is releases half as much CO2 as coal, and methane is roughly 28x worse as a greenhouse gas and other natural gases sink. Natural gas would be better than coal as long as if we aren't leaking 1/28th of our natural gas. That would be an awful lot of wasted money, so I'm inclined to believe that natural gas is still better than coal.
Does anyone know what this phenomenon is called:

“This phenomenon is due, in no small part, to how our brains, in response to the thrill of successfully completing a rewarded task, releases euphoric chemicals that strongly reinforce the behavior that led to success.”
Sometimes I wonder if I live in a reality where everything is just created with a GPT-2 algorithm.
I have suffered no increase in success as my encroaching grumpiness begins to prevail ever more successfully.

Dutifully, I declare the opposite.

Life was better when I was more open, more friendly, more curious- opportunities sprouted from seemingly nothing.

Now I'm a bit long in the tooth and I've had many harrowing experiences in trying to fight the large bureaucratic machine that is my organisation and have been left curt and bitter.

Now there are no opportunities, no "connections forged" and certainly not any career progression.

I do not recommend succumbing to grumpiness, nor bad temperament..

The only thing that matters is that you're genuine, and if you feel yourself getting to be like me, take a step back and consider what the cause is. There is no happiness here.
Wow, really cool. I feel like using Github like this could really take off. Free storage and compute and scheduling. I'm definitely going to keep this in mind for any future fun projects--it seems like a scraper is an obvious use case.

I think you've misunderstood, excited delirium is claimed to be present in the individual the cop is arresting, not in the police themselves. The reason they attempt to justify greater force is in order to protect themselves from someone in such a state. I'm not agreeing with this, just stating what they would say.
I'm sure they can. There isn't really a private business card that I'm aware of. Even here in Texas the "workaround" was to mandate that businesses require employees and customers wear masks.

Beyond that, I haven't even read a credible analysis that believes mask and social distancing mandates would not be legal. To the contrary, just about everybody I've heard/read from suggests it's settled law that the government can take these measures in the interest of public health during a pandemic.

Really it's just been a bunch of politicizing, hand waving, hollow platitudes, and feigning ignorance of the data and CDC guidelines accompanying a refusal to mandate. I believe the few court cases so far have resulted in the courts upholding mandates right?

Is IT a creative part of Disney though? Given that digital anything (until recently at least) was not really Disney's business and more of a support function, I don't see this comment as disagreeing with the parent one.
Hah, it depends on the video/podcast I'm watching/listening to for sure, but sometimes 2.5x/3x is very nice.

I think I sort of built it up over time though, I remember not being able to do 2x previously because it seemed to fast, but I guess I got used to it.
Yes, you need to be able to at least do that, for big I/O buffers and such. Those are usually raw arrays of bytes, so no problem there.

The problem I was discussing is with growable arrays, where the memory underneath is partially initialized.
What are you afraid of that a gun will help you? You are without child and apparently mildly well off. You can't shoot a virus, and if shit really hits the fan here in America, emigration probably won't be a problem
It's not accepted as a standard treatment, that's the key. The second key point is it's used as an excuse for violence. Same thing with pray gay away type treatments to convince men they aren't gay. Those are now illegal in many states.

Similar things, bogus classes on checking if you are high - like your eyes move in a certain way, or when driving your tire touches the white line. Cops take these classes and use them for justification. See also, pulling drivers over if they are certain minorities (driving suspiciously).
