> Outsourcing ethics to Government regulation is just plain wrong.

This is a category error. Companies have an existential incentive to chase profits (and their managers can be sued by the shareholders for doing anything less). Their incentive to avoid violating laws, morals, and ethics is far lower.

> is just plain wrong

What is the consequence? Does anyone in the USA strictly avoid buying anything from any company with dubious ethics?

We all have knee-jerk reactions to outrage, but where we either (1) don't have enough transparency to know or (2) don't have reasonable alternatives, there is no ability for individual non-governmental entities to shape those incentives. The closest we get are internet mobs organizing boycotts, but lots of people reject that method for completely rational reasons.
When Plague Is Not a Metaphor
The bully really stems of that some do not recognise "one China", which is not the point of view in Beijing. You cannot say it's bully if Taiwan is part of China.

If you have doubt, search "1992 Consensus".
Did you purchase it in the USA? If so, you can check if it has been cleared as a Class II Medical Device from the FDA.
If they do it, can you imagine if they are willing to export that technology to say, US or EU?

They won't. So, why do we give such a flak to US/EU protecting their interests?

It is pretty straight forward to me.
I also came to the conclusion that no one has any idea what the purpose of life is. No one. I like listening to various opinions on "how you should live your life", mostly just out of curiosity, but never really take any of them as the answer. There are people (David Goggins) saying that you should work 24/7 and be the best of version of yourself you can be while working your ass off and suffering a lot. There are others who say you shouldn't give a fuck and just enjoy the life in every way you can. Life has no purpose, just enjoy it and do whatever makes you happy and fulfilled (which could mean either slacking or achieving greatness, depending on what you want).
It is really grating that all the visualizations are wrong. Blue is shorter wavelength than red. Infrared is longer wavelength than red. Every single image is wrong. :(
Yes. Surely it's about Chapo. I'd certainly not call them as 'greedy' or 'unprincipled' as the people they criticise. However I'll not waste this opportunity to call them bland, effete and ignorant.

PBS and NPR are in fact directly controlled by the government. It’s interesting that those are your two examples of gold standard independent media.
There's an important caveat, before everyone jumps on the title by itself:

> The report, released Tuesday, defines “affordable” as spending no more than 30% of monthly income on rent, in line with what most budgeting experts recommend.

The second caveat is this is rent for a 2 bedroom apartment; though they do say that it's also ~95% of 1 bedroom apartments. No comment is made on studio apartments or having roommates.

Without the downvote HN would descend into flame war bullshit pretty quickly (imo). Things that don't outright break the rules can still be low effort and subtly hostile.

Most heavily downvoted posts I see on here tend to be people transparently arguing in bad faith, or being unnecessarily rude in ways that aren't quite obvious enough to attract proper moderation.

Sure sometimes it's just opinions that most people disagree with, but overall I think the downvote button is a positive force (and the comments are still there, you can judge for yourself if they were worth it).

(If you want to see all the terrible comments that get posted, turn on the showdead option on your user profile. Otherwise you get an unrealistically sunny view of the quality of discourse here).
This depends on the manager more than anything else. Somebody who complains all the time is just as likely to come across as low-credibility and untrustworthy. If they’re the only person complaining perhaps that’s a signal to the manager that they’re in fact a problem for the team they’re working in, and perhaps they shouldn’t be there anymore.

Conversely somebody who readily gives credit to others might come off as high-integrity and trustworthy. Perhaps a person like that is an incredibly positive influence and valuable member of their team.

Each approach can succeed or fail depending on what your manager values. I wouldn’t say one is more likely to succeed than the other, but if you want to end up working for a boss that values integrity, then I’d suggest taking the integrity route.
I have a set of Shun Classics that I hone maybe once every two weeks. They are still incredibly sharp after 8 years of daily, extensive use and I’ve only sharpened them three times on my whetstone. I will only break out the stone if I can see missing chunks in the blade edge; this is the goal of sharpening: to remove the blade material around a divot to create a new, continuous blade edge.

Also, make sure to use a honing steel. If you “hone” on one of those ceramic sharpening rods, you will reduce the life span of your knife. Ceramic removes blade material, steel simply realigns it. The edge of the blade will curl over with use, honing straightens it back up, no need to remove material!

It reminds me of the "All models are wrong" aphorism. It may be true, but it's still better to call the Earth a sphere than a plane or a torus.

Not that poster, but in my personal experience praising others is good to match with humble by noisy comments about the work you are doing.

Yes, you should trust your doctor over strangers over the internet. They should have much more context as well. It's one thing to comment on equipment, but it is another to comment on what that result means for you.
SEC have no time for that. Don't forget old days:

The Securities and Exchange Commission is drawing Republican criticism following reports that senior agency staff used government-issued computers to surf pornographic websites, according to the Associated Press.

An internal memo obtained by the AP said the SEC's inspector general has investigated 33 employees for looking at porn in the past five years, and 31 of those probes occurred since the financial turmoil began. This conduct violates governmentwide ethics rules, the memo stated.
That's a huge amount.

I remember working in a large company with easily a hundred people over the years. I'd say there were only 2 employees that were fireable materials.
I was actually relieved when I found this article [1] which argues against call/cc as a core language feature. Alas, I think the argument does not dismiss _delimited continuations_, so now my burden has shifted from mastering call/cc to mastering shift/reset :-/ [2].

I agree with all of this. If there was any store I shopped at and realized there were two different prices I would think they have some savvy marketers but would also stop being their customer. I don't want amazon or airline fluctuations in price when I'm shopping.

> The concept of "hyperfocus" as a symptom of ADHD is relatively recent idea

Hyperfocus is a symptom of ADHD, ASD, and schizophrenia [1]. So a person who experiences hyperfocus may be experiencing one or more of those conditions. (Although, when I say "symptom", not necessarily a diagnostic one – conditions can have both diagnostic symptoms, which form part of the diagnostic criteria, and non-diagnostic symptoms, which don't, but nonetheless have been commonly observed clinically and/or in research in those formally diagnosed.)

Since it is possible to have subclinical manifestations of psychiatric diagnoses, a person who experiences hyperfocus without meeting the diagnostic criteria for any of these diagnoses may have such a subclinical manifestation of one or more of them. The formal name for subclinical ASD is "Broad Autism Phenotype" (BAP) [2]; I don't think subclinical ADHD [3] or subclinical schizophrenia [4] have distinctive names, but both have been researched. (A lot of people who incorrectly self-diagnose themselves as having X despite not actually meeting the diagnostic criteria, may in fact be correctly identifying the existence of subclinical traits of X in themselves.)

A DRAM cell is a single capacitor and single transistor. DRAM benefits from process shrinking because smaller transistors require less charge to switch. The way DRAM is read is by dumping the charge into a transistor’s gate capacitor. Yes, you also have to deal with leakage current and stray capacitance and the like.
Telling of what? That they reuse a term?
Interesting point, but in most cases people say it when talking about themselves (I was let go) or in the hypothetical, as was the case here with OP: "When you get let go". So no risk of liability, there must be some other explanation.

In China, even a billionaire can be crushed by the state - for corruption, for being a power rival or for speaking out against state policy.

In the US, a certain level of person has nearly carte blanche against scandal, against being accused of crimes or pursuing pathological policy positions. Of course, in the US, a small person's life can be snuffed out if they annoy the wrong cop and their life can be made miserable if they go up against the justice system or other powerful forces.

I'm sure what how well the two system play against each other on the world stage at this point.

When they're motivated to turn the eye of Sauron toward you the Feds can be very hard to evade. This can happen in a lot of ways.

Of course, insider trading among well connected hedge fund managers and our unaccountable financial elite is indeed pervasive and goes by without being prosecuted all the time, but it's fair to assume yesterday's hackers aren't in this protected class.

The first thing I would say is that regular inline macros are hygienic and type safe, just like the rest of the code you write. That way they're not just text expansion but smart code expansion.

When I say hygienic, I mean that when a macro uses a variable that isn't in the parameters or isn't static, it will be a compile error as it cannot know the scope. Any variables defined inside are scoped. Only parameters parses in can be referenced from outside the scope of the macro

They're also notated different to regular functions and they can't appear anywhere so it's obvious when you see a macro that it will expand into some code that won't break any of the other code in your function.

Of course people can write really terrible macros but typically macros serve a single very simple task and should be well documented and in my experience they often are.

As for procedural macros. They are just ast in, ast out functions, but written as a library in regular rust rather than some language thrown on top. That makes it easy to reason about the code and make it safe. If you write them well, they can be very good at reporting errors in usage to users.

The std lib also provides some very straightforward yet useful macros to act as inspiration. String formatting is an inline macro. vec is a macro to quickly define Vectors. Derive debug, partial equality, default values are all procedural macros and they are very straightforward yet tedious tasks to do on your own all the time.

Given the macros people publish, I would say they've done a good job at securing them as a useful feature. I've not seen many instances in actual code bases of messy macros. For examples of great macros, see serde[0], clap[1], inline-python[2]

Devices would be much bigger and less efficient, but we would be able to run code and pump out 8086 processors within 6 months.

> Doesn’t it seem a little funny to wait until the exit interview to ask if it came as a surprise?

When else would they ask? The exit interview is when you are being informed of the decision.

The process is you get a meeting invite for a 1 on 1 with your manager. They come in, tell you that you're getting let go and why, and then invite HR to come in. They then leave and HR goes over the paperwork and asks you about if you expected it. If you were a poor performer, then it's most likely not your first meeting with HR.

I'm not sure when else they would ask.

Minimum wage workers should mainly be teenagers, young single people, and other dependents who don't need to live alone or for a family, and for whom minimum wage makes sense while they advance in careers. I honestly don't care if minimum wage means you can afford rent.

I'm most interested in what percentage of those with dependents are working minimum wage jobs and what percentage of those that started out with minimum wage jobs have been unable to increase their earnings. MY guess is that these numbers are also terrible, but this is the thing to get down.

We need to remove minimum wage laws and instead focus on making sure those with dependents and a need to live by themselves have wage growth through their lifetimes. It is no scandal if a young person makes little money at a time in their life when it is okay to live with family or with roommates.
Emergency Directive 20-03 – Remote code execution vulnerability in Windows DNS
Yeah, not sure about that power index calculation myself. But I think it would be very hard to compare things on quality. Like take the example of air power. Sure F-22, F-35, B-2/B-21 combination probably beats any other force. But after that, it gets murky as every country will hype its own inventory. I think PRC still purchases some of the planes and parts from them, so I guess Russian made planes might have an edge on them at least in some areas.
