If you believe that your child will have a net-negative life, but you have one anyway (and force them to live under the horrible conditions you recognized!), just to balance out the more-reckless children, I question your ethical framework.

It doesn't seem ethical at all to bring new beings into an existence you acknowledge to be negative, and thrust the responsibility of fixing the world onto them.

To complicate the mess, the other vendor DX11 drivers are so bad that some Windows users have started using DXVK (really designed for Linux, but works just fine on Windows) to translate DX11 to Vulkan and getter better performance in many games.

For a public official I can see why it would give them some leverage, but Jeff Bezos/Elon Musk/any rich dude doesn't really have to care. Did the "fappening" damage anyone's career?
Vulkan is actually only on Android after version 10.

It was introduced as optional API on Android 7, besides Google and Samsung flagship phones, no one else cared.

Also the drivers are so buggy that Google introduced the concept of updatable graphic drivers via the store.

Now look at Android updates, version 10 market share and enjoy Vulkan.
Same here, I just don't trust them enough to build on their API anymore.

> I feel like if you want to have a kid you have one and you deal with whatever adversity comes along.

The thing is, it's not only you who will be dealing with "whatever adversity comes along". Your child will also have to deal with it, and just because you're okay with dealing with it doesn't mean they will be too.

Forcing a child into existence when you think it's likely they will have a negative life, just because "you want to have a kid", is an incredibly selfish decision to make. We shouldn't encourage people to take a gamble on their potential children's lives just because they want a kid.
Because nobody can be in the same place at the same time (strictly speaking), everybody has a different circumstance, action radius and experience, even if all other things like genetics would be equal.
That was only on the beginning.

API keys for Bing expired? Happened to me as well this week, unexpectedly.
Has anyone stepped forward and claimed they were scammed yet?

It's normal for scammers to pay themselves to make their scam look more legitimate.

If no one steps forward... it's not impossible that they actually didn't manage to scam anyone.

From an outside viewpoint, this is an interesting demonstration of a failure mode of the US social and political system.

Of all the hills to die on, "not wearing a safety mask" [0] is one of the more batshit crazy, but in a nation where the people have decided that "schoolchildren being slaughtered in their classrooms" is an acceptable price to pay for free and easy firearms, I guess it's not surprising that "people dying horribly, gasping for breath as their lungs fail" is an acceptable price for not wearing a safety mask.

[0] This poster's particular hill isn't the mask, but it is for some, and if I'm doing "batshit crazy", there it is.
I wouldn't trust any VPN that I didn't set up myself.
I am appalled at the reaction I am seeing here. People on HN really think that it is ok for executives to maximize their own personal interest at the expense of other employees and creditors?

Is that the true face of silicon valley? What happened to “make the world a better place”, or “don’t be evil”. Capitalism works as long as the people in charge are responsible, not if they try to extract as much juice from the system as possible.

Your company is going bust, and you get a bonus? Fuck those guys, seriously.
Amazing that this isn't universally known at this point.

Arguably the government is the Mafia.

> These guys just throw up repeaters and not only do they not try to hide them, they actually mark them to show who is going to be destroying your life if you take them down. Oh, and you have to pay if you want to work on your own legitimate equipment that is rightfully on that tower.

As I said, modulo "rightfully" which I won't take away from you just for sake of the argument.

> The illegal drug trade exists on a scale unimaginable to most people

That's why the previous two remarks are necessarily exagerated. If the government governs and the drug trade drug-trades, pretty much by definition--Isn't that a bit myopic (I'm at a loss for words here, as much as you are).

I mean, the tinfoil hat says: if governments wanted to sustain a deadly drugmarket they could not do it in the open. The counter-point, that nobody would want this, is evidently wrong, and that unreasonable cartells did it only for the money is again myopic, if money is really about power.

> Mexican cartels employ 450,000 people and make $25 billion annually (...). The Mexican military would have to be incredibly skilled to take them on with 177,000 people and a $7 billion budget.

Wow, that's incredible--how one could draw such a black and white back of the envelope calculation cobbled together on a quick google search. Not only is the us-versus-them perspective quite difficult, reducing moral to a binary number. It is also conflating a lot of that in the economic measuring stick that is the dollar.

Seen another way, that's 250.000 tons market capitalization of Mexican cocaine and equivalent substances p.a. (at a guessed street price of $100 per pure gram). This would be a gram per day for 1/10,000 of the population, if they compete in a market of ca. 10 billion potential consumers in the market. Realistically though, the street price is grossly inflated after each border. So, if the inflation would be x100, you'd have to have a 1% share of the population in the developed world (more, if my numbers are too high) being highly addicted daily drug users, who can afford to spend between 10 and 100$ a day. This seems like something is off--my numbers, sure, if Mexico is more of an intermediary than a producer.
Sure they would. These "time of crisis" instincts are very primitive, as are most emotional reactions of this kind. To makes sense of them just imagine an extended family operating, c. 100k years ago.

The idea is this: in a time of crisis (say, very low food) how immoral it would be for the father (, etc.) to take much more than the mother (etc.).

And these feels very plausible. It is in the nature of a family to expect sacrifce.

It is these small-scale familial impulses that ideologues often rationalise (on both left and right).

What economics as a (rough) science is meant to provide us with is a way of transcending these impulses. These microeconomic explanations should persuade us that they are being misapplied in this case, and "familial-crisis" thinking cannot plausibly apply to a buisness.

However most people cannot really critically relate to their own emotional instincts, and so often explaining the microeconomics is shouting into the wind.
Agree, this is transparent, self aware, and takes responsibility. Kudos to Twitter.

It's in stark contrast to how FB wrote the post this week about their SDK crashing a bunch of third party apps. Some PR firm did all sorts of verbal gymnastics to avoid actually apologizing and taking real responsibility by shifting blame. [1]

In low level audio you have something similar: there's a thread that pulls audio data all the time and it can't stop; at the same time you have potentially lots of things happening in other threads, including the UI one. You can always find ways of minimizing the synchronization overhead by e.g. having a single fast entry point to any changes that happened since the last cycle. With audio you basically end up passing immutable blocks of data with minimal synchronization. So should be possible to do in games, too.

I think you presume a level of mastery over artificially engineered viruses that just doesn't exist. Is it obvious before a modification is made to a virus strand whether it will be more or less virulent? Besides, engineering for virulence can easily get yourself killed. Furthermore it didn't necessarily have to be engineered for nefarious purposes. It could have been an experimental virus that accidentally escaped and that's all.
I know Samsung snarfs everything it can from my phone. I know it wants more. I know money is key, and even pulling some info... GPS, sensors, etc is helpful.

And with full control of the OS, of where kernel modules memory space is assigned, you'd only have to scan certain buffer regions of memory, to snarf contents of buffers, etc.

The problem is, I don't know, and can't. It's not open source. It is not under my control. I personally don't care about paying, but I do about seeing.
I don't know - both the UN and WHO are pushing for a more tolerant policy. At this point, it is merely focusing on decriminalizing possession and use, in no small part because of good results in some places. It isn't much of a jump to allow full legalisation in their charter.

It is neither the same OS or hardware, so it looks cross platform to me.
What you describe is a failed, or at least failing, state. What makes you think these para military groups would stop taking over society if they are made legal?

Look at other mafia run states. Most of them aren't dependent on the drug trade. It's a parasitic part of the economy that won't let the rest of the economy flourish.
You nailed it. That is probably the most likely correct conclusion. I mean, it almost must be that way. I do not know of any other "service" (more like disservice really), with so many products, which fails so terribly to get to a minimum standard in usability and page speed.
Even the login in Atlassian is f'ed up, and you cannot login with sane ad blocking. I have to create a separate browser profile and start FF with profile manager each time, so that I can choose, all just to keep the Atlassian infection at bay.

What I know is that a virus like Ebola, which kills almost everybody who is untreated, cannot be that successful as a virus like Covid19 or HIV, because it gets no chance to spread. The corona virus is so successful because it can spread without killing everybody.

I think we should consider the inference of side project, the desire to make money. A lot of people spend time working in their garden. We don't call this a side project.

My advice is if you or your family need more money then do a side project. If not I've two suggestions;

Have a hobby instead of a side project and take the pressure off.

Invest more time in your friends and family.

I have had side projects for 20 years. Born out of necessity, then supported by my employer, now the backbone of my startup, https://whoohaz.com
It'd be a brave new world of businesses trying to fly under the radar and evade 'prosecution', I guess!
Precisely this. I can't understand how so many people are so dumb that they can't add one plus one and understand that all the scare stories they hear is just normal consequences of a single issue. It's like saying that people who have a salmonella infection also have other issues likes diarrhoea, dehydration, headache, dizziness, tiredness, etc.
Well of course, if you have a stomach bug which gives you diarrhoea then you shit water and you get dehydrated. When you dehydrate then you get headaches, can feel dizzy and your energy levels drop and you feel tired.

The topics you mentioned are all part of a CS masters degree (and by far not the most complex ones there).

Many people on HN have a CS background so they are surely qualified.
I wish machine learning would have become mainstream on a language with more competent multithreading capabilities than python. During my machine learning course I knew I could squeeze more performance out of my code by parallelising data preprocessing and training (pytorch), but python cannot do proper multithreading. The multiprocessing module requires you to move data between processes, which is slow.
What Product Management book would you want to read?
I’m a PM with 15 years experience who has worked at a FAANG company and a number of startups small and large. I’ve worked in VR, books, video games, ads, and b2b.

I’m thinking of writing a book or series of small books and wanted to throw some ideas out there and see if any stick. If none of them do, what would you want to see instead?

Broad:

* Coaching Product Managers

* Why great PMs build bad Products

* 10 failures after 15 years as a PM

* Moving from Jr to Sr PM

* PM Basics - skills that aren’t sexy but help you get stuff done

* Leading with compassion

* What is Product sense?

* The PM Strength Finder

Smaller topics

* Ramping up on a new team as a PM

* Should I kill my project?

* PM archetypes - which one am I?

* From Stertup to Big Company as a PM

* The myth of ‘the faster horse’

* Picking your first 10 customers

* Going from Manager to IC

* What I learned from 3 years of building products with game devs

* The importance of Speed

* The importance of Quality

* The importance of User Research

* How does building a VR product differ from a 2D app?
I don't know, man. Most folks I've met that smoke cigarettes just buy them at the store. Occasionally, when folks travel, they pick them up at a lower tax state (or country). I'm not convinced the black market is really 'significant' since I'm guessing most folks go the legal route. It is just there.

But then again, there is a somewhat thriving black market for detergent and soaps: In the US, Tide is often targeted, as are branded department store body soaps, shampoos, and razor blades. This isn't because soaps and things are taxed.

Also, does tax make up for all of the risk markup? I very highly doubt it. IIRC, prices have gone down in places with legalization, in no small part because the whole process can be done out in the open.

This isn't strictly true.

Most B2B SaaS's, which I would bet is the most common front end developer on HN, do not see significant benefits from fast loading. They will see issues with slow loading, and they can't ignore bundle size, but the benefits to development speed from a pure JS front-end from this kinds of sites is realised as value by the client.

B2C SaaS, and you start to see a different story, largely due to the wider variety of devices and more mobile friendly focus.

Non SaaS, product sales or news focused businesses facing joe public are likely as you say.
Pattern recognition is NOT GOD DAMN AI!
You switch from death rate or R0, so it's not clear which variable you are referring to. COVID-19 may be less deadly, but it has killed more people than SARS. So it does appear to be a 'better' virus.
I think there might have been other options with different risk odds, but at the end we talk about 100k for a massive hack with international attention. In review of that it's just a very small amount and not worth the risk. There are other ways to steal 100k without getting the attention of the whole world, especially if you're a "smart" hacker.
Would porting certain libraries be a huge undertaking?
This may be a bit of an extreme view, but I don't like frameworks at all. In general.

They are nice for little "hello world" applications that demonstrate how easy it is to create and deploy a new project, but it's just like the "programming language demo snippet" problem - it tells you nothing about what it's like to use this thing in a big, long-term project.

APIs and libraries on the other hand are usually not a problem. Especially graphics APIs - if you have a big project that makes heavy use of a graphics API, it's probably best to create an abstraction layer. That can be a very tricky task at conception, but it gives you a lot of flexibility later. It's definitely necessary for dependency inversion.

With frameworks you don't get that benefit. Making a "framework-independent" application (not library) through abstraction is a bit like trying to kiss your own butt. You'll probably break yourself while attempting it and it's a dubious goal in the first place. (I tried it with ASP.NET Core and I still have back problems)

The worst thing about frameworks is that they force their architectural style on you. If you want to get anything done it's a bit like working in a very large company - you have to spend a lot of time learning all of its little idiosyncracies, politics and issues so you can adjust to them, your work has to mirror all of their design mistakes and they can basically just decide to effectively cancel your project at any time for no reason.
What's with holding Startups up on some pedestole? They can be slimy and most will fail. Working at a well known consultancy company offers not only financial security, but additional insurance, and pension benefits that a startup would not.

It's also not impossible to work in substeams in such a company that mirror startup processes.
All of those, except font smoothing and clipboard issues, I've recently only experienced under Nvidia's proprietary drivers. Intel's i915 and AMD's amdgpu drivers seem to work without issues.

Font smoothing is occasionally inconsistent between modern and ancient apps, but the same happens on Win. As for the clipboard, I've only seen clipboard issues on my ancient Arch install, which I'm surprised even boots up at this point.
I recently had an interview with ExpressVPN and it was a bit different experience. I had a video call with the hiring manager with full disclosure (name/linkedin profile). I investigated the company a little bit - it was registered on the British Virgin Islands as well and no one knows the names of the founders. I didn’t get an offer - they didn’t have a position that would match my skill set - but I was quite okay with that.

The New York Times’ in depth account of how the Twitter attack may have happened
Like many of you, I watched this rolling on Wednesday night using live verified accounts link that was widely shared. I was also just looking at the 'regular people' tab without verified accounts and saw many, many, many accounts tweeting the same "double your bitcoin" link, with the same BTC address. These weren't retweets. I'd assumed these accounts had also been compromised - was I wrong? It was far more than 130 accounts.

Or was this just people copying and pasting the same message (if so why that rather than retweet)? There were so many every few seconds I assumed it was a script just running through accounts. But --- if it wasn't, what were people hoping to gain? Views on their own profile?

Abuse, violence, stealing and so on are already crimes in their own right, regardless of whether drugs are involved or not. They directly involve harm inflicted on other people. The act of doing drugs does not, so why make that a crime, too?

It's a slippery slope argument, it's like saying cutting yourself should be a crime, because people who cut themselves have issues and could harm others.

Just like drug users, they should be helped, not punished.
