It’s very impressive that they have managed to duplex the styles across all four dimensions. This is very difficult to do across a wide range of weights while keeping the whole family cohesive.

I notice that in my home state, the head of more than one auto dealership had the same last name as the brand of car sold by the dealership, for reasons that were coincidences.

I wonder if there is some kind of unconscious social bias at work in these cases?
> I have to say I'm a bit surprised at the positive reaction to this here. This person admits that they're contracted to work 40 hours/wk but they they only do 20-25 hours when working from home.

In all seriousness: The people putting in the most focused hours are less likely to be discussing their work deep in the HN comment section during daytime hours. The people who think procrastinating for half of the day is the norm are going to be over-represented in the HN comment section. And yes, I realize the irony of posting this comment.

> I know work gets tiring, but I find it hard believe anyone can really do great solid work for half a day and then can't possibly get anything productive done in the second half.

It's a common trope on internet comment sections, but I haven't seen it nearly as much in the real world.

Sustained work and focus aren't exactly the easiest thing in the world, but people can and do learn how to put in 6-8 solid hours of work per day all of the time. It's one thing to subtract meetings and e-mail from your count of productive hours, but it's strange to hear so many people claiming that they can't physically work more than 20-25 hours in a week.

In my experience, I've noticed this thought becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy in some of our junior hires. If people arrive at the workplace with preconceived notions that no one works more than 3-4 hours per day or that focusing for 8 hours is physically impossible, they don't even try to improve their ability to focus and be productive. Pairing them up with more productive coworkers usually fixes this misconception very quickly.
I think causal links are hard to come by in any science, but here the important tidbit is that particular emotions (perseverance towards ones goals) were correlated with less incidence or severity of disorders, compared to others (a feeling of control of ones environment/future).

The value here is that showing the existence of an emotion earlier in ones life is correlated to lessening of symptoms later is that it helps therapists know which emotions and behaviors to target during long term treatment like cognitive/behavioral therapy.

At least that's how I read it, I'm not a professional
> The law actually balances many considerations, profit is only one of them. Maybe educate yourself, archival copies are one of the many exemptions to copyright.

One can say a lot about copyright law, but saying it 'balances' many considerations is a bit of a stretch, to put it mildly. Copyright law pays lip service to a number of non-commercial interests, like archiving (up to a point).

On the whole, it is strongly biased toward the interests of the big publishing industry that has managed, over the years, to greatly expand its scope and duration.

Just wait for it, it's almost time for another term extension, or else Steamboat Willy is going to become public domain in a few years.
It's an interesting way to demonstrate the density of the satellites- they're not hiding the number or duration of images, so you can get a fuzzy intuition for how likely you are to catch them in a given image.
The main thing necessary to understand Buran is... why the big heavy delta wings? It is clear why the US shuttle has them: Reference Mission 3A/3B, which the USAF added to the design requirements in exchange for political cover in Congress (see T.A. Heppenheimer, _The Space Shuttle Decision_). If you launch due south from Vandenberg and you need to return back to your landing site (either because of the Reference Mission or because of a Abort-Once-Around) you have to be able to move roughly 1/16 of the Earth's diameter in the atmosphere (otherwise you end up in the Pacific Ocean), and that forces you to the big heavy delta wings that sacrifices a lot of payload.

But why did the Soviets need that much cross-range? First of all their spy satellites were not generally put into polar orbits (they used shorter lived satellites that didn't need sun synchronous orbits) and second of all, one polar orbit around from Baikonur runs right over Russian land rather than the Pacific Ocean, so they had no need for all of that cross range.

The only thing that makes sense to me is that a design goal for Buran was "copy the STS, but don't do quite as many silly things" because I simply can't find a use case for that much cross range for them.
It doesn't strike me as much harder than drawing the line for more common reasons to fire someone, like incompetence or inappropriate workplace activity. Those are also continuums, and it's certainly not easy to know where to draw the line, and reasonable people will disagree about where to draw the line in each specific case. But we don't throw up our hands and say you can never be allowed to fire anyone for those reasons.

It seems like many people think that "political" actions should enjoy a special protection and that no such actions should ever draw any criticism or consequences. The same attitude is common for actions labelled as "religious." I reject that special status.
So, asking non-facetiously, as an artist I have the right to decide how my work must be attributed, even if the platform I'm posting it to tells me in their ToS that my work will be altered in a standard way in the course of using the service?

If my understanding is correct (with the caveat that I am nowhere close to an expert), that's frankly bonkers and I have no idea how Twitter can operate at all in Japan.
I usually solved them that way when I was a kid, but that's only because maze designers set up forks in one direction but they don't bother doing it in the other direction.
Those of us who genuinely prefer city living and amenities seem to be relatively few among the crowd on HN.

I used to work full-time remote, and had the choice to go anywhere I wanted in the world. I still landed in NYC, and stayed because I loved a diverse, walkable community with amazing nightlife, culture, and parks all around.

I eventually took a job in an office in the city because I liked having an occasional social environment with coworkers, both in the office and outside of it. Working at home full-time as a person without a family and more social needs than I was willing to admit for a long time was extremely isolating, but I don't want a family yet.

I'm eager to go back to the office as soon as it is safe at scale for all the same reasons I was eager to leave my remote job and go into an office again most days originally. Moving somewhere cheap and more isolated to have more space to work at home is about the lowest thing on my priority list.

(But I recognize that I'm fortunate to work at a place which always had pretty good tolerance for remote work, even pre-pandemic, even if I didn't take advantage of it... and also lucky to have coworkers who I generally enjoy being around and working with.)
They're reasonably quick. They are not cheap. $35 a pop or so. For our local elementary school, that would run ~115K a week.

How does auditing itself prevent a present or future attack? Auditing and what you fix during audits are reactive.

When you make a post with an image, the twitter timeline will show a cropped viewport of the image. Depending on the size and shape of the image, some parts may be cut off until you expand it.

For example: https://imgur.com/pP0HrhG https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1286456314701307906/photo/1

The same thing applies to retweets.
That's because everything and everybody else is a figment of my/our imagination :)
Can we do without the condescending "Uh" and "Um" on HN?

An audit trail would tell you who was social-engineered, but it wouldn't have prevented the attack in the same way Wikipedia's revision history doesn't keep you from vandalizing it.
Sounds more like the reputational damage is to the court system allowing this to occur.
Each individual hiring case is wildly different, with different supply/demand and price dynamics, and it's nothing like the commodity sold at a gas station example. Yes some companies will penny pinch, but some companies just wont. Not worth their time.

No man is an island.

There are explicit influences in things that are created, but there are many implicit influences too. That thing that was created, could it have been made without this society or culture? Could it have been made in a different culture? Didn't we all contribute a little bit to it?

So, while I do agree with your general point that people must have incentive to create and profit/control is one way to do that, my concern is that when things are locked up tight they die and our culture does not benefit from their creation. It would be easy to say that if they are forgotten then maybe they weren't of any use, but history of full of art and science that was not appreciated until much later.

Or conversely, a creation that is a clear product of the zeitgeist could be very influential but if no one can use it, then waiting decades for rights to clear will render it useless.

Imagine if cooking were invented today. Only one individual in the world would be allowed to make sausages without paying royalties.
Convenience. It's easier and more foolproof to give someone one file than it is to give them a directory.

That’s showing some real support to the community IMO.

There are plenty of purists that argue both for and against the concept but one cannot deny it fits very well in the sales pitch for Go. You can have a simple tool chain to ship a binary for any number of systems and that support for embedded assets would be a first class citizen.

I would also love to see them address more robust plugin options or officially adopt / endorse the pattern HashiCorp uses as they’re doing here with the bindata prior art.

Twitter does in thumbnail previews. If you've seen someone post a picture of text, the thumbnail is basically unusable because a significant portion is missing until you click through to the full-size version.

It's one of the main reasons I never use Twitter, as silly as that is. It is annoying to see a picture that is cropped that sometimes obscures (or even changes if an important part is missing) the actual point being made because it isn't in the preview. It just seems like a really poor design.
Some of the studies now are showing benefits of herd immunity with as little as 30% of the locals having had it. Young healthy people who have extremely low risk can provide herd immunity for at risk populations so they don't die.

But let's imagine none of that's true. Can you talk about how diseases of despair and deaths indirectly caused by economic troubles play into your analysis? How long do you believe the benefits of lockdowns will outweigh the costs? Do you believe the answer is forever?

I'm a therapist, and I'm also an ACT practitioner. You're on the money here, though I'd encourage you to think even bigger. To use your example about travel: extend it further. In ACT, goals and values couldn't be more different, and we spend a lot of time helping patients distinguish between the two. "Traveling" is a goal - the value would be found in "why travel?", what does it get you?

If the answer to that is then something like "it gets me a sense of adventure", then the "value" (as defined in ACT, anyway) might be just that: you want to live adventurously, and traveling is a "goal" that you believe, at least for now, can bring you a little bit of that. In fact, one of my favorite ACT exercises is finding adverbs that fit these ideas, because adverbs cannot be "attained" like goals can. That's the whole problem with goals, in fact, that leads indirectly to a lot of pain: goals can be attained.

ACT is lovely, but I'm biased. If you have any questions please ask!

Right now? Yes. As I understand it you get much more capability for your size of telescope if in space, because you don't have to look through the atmosphere. If launch costs go down (which they are), and satellite components and labor to build operate become cheaper (because of increased general experience, supply of parts and labor, etc), then space satellites become cheaper. If we get better at assembling things in space (which we're only going to do after demand and experience in doing it), it might even be easier to make a larger telescope in space than on land eventually, and the stresses of gravity on the structure for the mirror are greatly reduced or eliminated. It looks like all the recent large telescopes are with segmented mirrors now anyway.[1]

Everything in Golang seems pretty complicated and nonintuitive compared to any other modern language. But "it's all well thought out"!
I think it's a well thought out design, particularly the implementation of some common Go interfaces (such as fs.FS) that will allow this to be transparently used with existing Go code.

The only thing I'd want is to allow environment variables in the "go:embed" statements, while my assets might be in the same repo and thus relative, they may also be in a different asset repo (if I'm using git I could use git submodule, but if I'm using something else that might not be possible).
Only related tangentially: Los Angeles’ famous beaches, some 31 miles worth, are all man-made.

“In 1947, for example, nearly 14 million cubic yards of sand were removed to make way for El Segundo's Hyperion power plant. They were deposited onto Santa Monica's beaches. Another million cubic yards came a couple years later, the sand this time recovered from dredging operations along a nearby breakwater. In all, some thirty million cubic yards of sand have been dumped onto the beaches of Santa Monica and Venice. That's almost as much, by volume, as all the concrete used to build the Three Gorges Dam in China.“

Kind of sensationalist. There's thousands of people that have the ability to drain your bank account right now. Your average call center employee wields immense power.

Still no, since you’re not _generating_ the image at the point of clicking.

That matters for two reasons, first because words and semantics are important, clear and correct communication is important. Second, the technology required to generate new paintings (cheaply and quickly) on demand is different from the technology required to generate a very large (infinite) number of paintings up front. They’re both interesting but for different reasons, and one shouldn’t be misrepresented as the other.
I don’t think the ‘enclaves’ concept addresses the root of the issue I was getting at, which is for there to be useful computation done on the data it must be unencrypted.

Even with ‘enclaves’, from what admittedly little I know about them, you still have to have the key to decrypt things on the machine somewhere, which means whoever is running that machine for you has access to your unencrypted data, and we’re back where we started.
No. AWS has no access to your material, nor is there a code path where they could get it.

Is it really that hard to click the picture before viewing it? It seems like a necessary evil to me. If you don't do the thumbnail thing and the picture is huge (or has odd dimensions), then it's going to make scrolling past the picture a pain.
Mostly healthcare in the US. And a few other things that are tax-advantaged by being benefits from an employer (like 401(k) matching). I'm not sure that I can think of much else, other than negotiated travel and other discounts--which I don't really consider "benefits"--that are harder for me to access as an individual.

I now understand why the bank I work for creates the separation of duties; the person who builds the system has no access to it, and the person with access has no idea how it works.

As a developer, it frustrates the shit of out me because I can’t deploy fixes quickly or easily diagnose issues.

But yep, there are 3 people that have access to the production databases that hold account info and they aren’t developers, just managers with no clue what to do once they log in.

I also worked for a company that sold software to lawyers. We had a feature that would alert the client any time a member of our company accessed their data. I think we called the feature something like “fire call”, because if you tripped it without informing the client, you’d get a call informing you that you’d been fired.
Wage decrease in one place means wage increase elsewhere. If someone who could do my job for half of my income, maybe they should get the job.

I place my future in the fact that it will be hard for employers to hire someone that can do my job (all facet of it) for half of my income. Sure there will be people slipping through the crack at that level, but hiring is a numbers game where you don't count on luck.

Having worked with overseas teams in the past, I'm not particularly concerned.
I worked at a startup that made a VoIP product in the early 2000s. Microsoft was interested but declined after a technical review. Later they bought Skype instead. No hard feelings. But giving up too much technical detail was definitely a concern for us.
Right. And furthermore, if they could be taken down, that's a bug, and it ought to be fixed. As I understand it, they're already somewhat decentralized, and it wouldn't be a huge stretch to become fully decentralized.
It's a bit more subtle than that, no? GP specifically mentioned early stage startups. The argument is that too high cost of living makes cities less vibrant, not that developers ruin them.

It looks like this is just for static data files. To run a piece of memory as executable you'd have to explictly mark the page as executable with e.g. mprotect(2) on Linux. I guess there's nothing stopping you from doing that from Go also.
That is an argument for the existence of some ip laws, not that the current incarnation of them is the right one.

But I would also draw your attention to the fashion industry. Before the 1980s logomania allowed for trademark law to be applied, there was basically zero IP protection on fashion... but it turns out it was a pretty robust industry anyway.

As a society we've gotten pretty hooked on IP law, but I'm pretty convinced we'd all be a lot better off with MUCH much less.
