Not US citizen here. Can someone explain how in a democracy the chief executive can singlehandedly decide to ban a media only a few month before elections?

I can't make any sense of that, it seems wrong at so many levels...
I’ve only been put through the wringer like that once thankfully. I think I’m also lucky to have mostly made moves based on recommendations so end up dealing directly with specific teams at big companies.
If people are going to allege something, I seriously would like to have proof.

I’m not defending China in here, but this is not a good direction to go if we have a large number of people speculating and alleging something without a solid proof. Not that it’s anything new.
Good for them, or for me?
You can buy stolen credit card data on the same sites where you can buy botnet access.
There is desperation here. But I think it is mostly Trump's: The election is less than 3 months away and absolutely everything is going pear-shape. He's diverting and deflecting. Chine is one issue is can appear strong. Banning tiktok is fluff that serves no other purpose than helping him for November.

It would be very interesting to see which artists would win/lose from this scenario.
Book links are shrouded Amazon affiliate links (tag sidehust01-20).
China has been doing that for over a decade and I don't know of anyplace where WeChat is banned.
But the reporter didn't create the news, they just reported it. The news was created by whoever was involved in the scandal, so they should be paid.
I don't buy any of this - for myself at least. Tense (mis)used like this is like talking about the colour of the paper - "we used green for this section because it shows they're in a meadow".

Reading is far too high-level an interpretation to be affected by tenses except where the tense is part of the story.

When I read I don't see words, it's much more like a cinema playing in my head, and I'm watching. It's a process of filtering (discarding), synthesising and reconstructing. You might as well play with font size or typeface - it won't make a whit of difference to me in the end because it's low level stuff that gets discarded.

Of course it’s not correct. A high speed train will use about 40kwh per 1000 people per mile

A plane is about 5 tons an hour, or 10kg per 300 people per mile, so 30kg of jet fuel per 1000 people per mile, or 1.2GJ

So a cruising a330 uses about 10 times the energy per passenger mile as an ICE high speed train.

Clearly the comparison of polution caused it then affected by how green the electricity source is and the extra environmental impact of burning fuel in the high atmosphere.
Could you elaborate?

If you're talking about 'capturing revenue' then there's a direct link between more attention and more money a band can get.
Take a look at Durgod Taurus K320 TKL ISO UK version - classic look, Cherry MX brown switches.

For the real classic look, I just had to replace the 2 oddly colored keycaps (provided in the box).
Don’t interview in bulk! Look for the positions you really want and think can grow you in a way that matters. Then find out what skills you need to do that. If you have them, go talk to that set of organizations and tell them about your skills! People desperately need good people!

If you don’t have those skills yet, either look for a different match... or think about where you’d need to go to get those skills. ... and then go talk to those organizations!

Figure out something you’d like to work on. Figure out where your skills are the best match for those things. Then interview for those!

Your conversations will be more focused. Your approach will be more focused. You will get jerked around less. And people will be thrilled to talk with you and figure out how your passion aligns with what they need. And if it’s a match, they will want to hire you.

Do not mindlessly grind. Do not scattershot. Do not play games.

All of that is unfocused, unsuccessful and unlikely to connect you with a position you even care about!

What ends up happening with these people is they set up this huge funnel and then at the end of it they play offers against each other and have agonizing decisions about which numbers to accept for a set of positions they aren’t even excited about instead of focusing on what matters:

1) Which position will grow you the most?

2) Which position do you think you can exceed expectations in?

You want to optimize for the sweetest mix of both of these. And both of these factors are complementary to each other. Organizations grow the people exceeding expectations and you will exceed expectations most in a position that provides you the glide slope of growth which is the best match for your interests.

If you’re early career, an offer is the start of a business relationship. Not the destination. And if you’re doing it right, the initial offer is what they want to pay you to try things out. What they will want to pay to keep you happy will be more than that after you join. If you’re later in your career maybe you and the company are so correctly calibrated to each other and in sync that your initial offer hits it exactly on the head and the adjustments are for growth from there. Whatever. Who cares. Even if what you care about is money: go for the job where you will grow the most and provide the most value, because ultimately that’s where you’ll have the most leverage to grow numbers either in the same company, or in a different one.

To say nothing about the obvious fact that this is a huge chunk of your time each day you engage in it and it’s 100% worth it to do something you’re excited about instead of just taking the offer for the person who pays the most. This field pays well. A 150k/yr base isn’t a disaster even if you could have gotten 220k/yr elsewhere. Which is totally a huge difference! But will round away over time when your growth is explosive and the engineer plugging away logging hours at a 220 base goes nowhere, stalls and ends up with uninspiring refreshes and trajectory.
I had one whiteboard interview (which I blew) in the past. I decided not to do whiteboard or challenges that take time unless I get paid. Most work I got was because I could show previous experience which matches the job I was trying to get.
Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on? It works for all other computers, why not artificial brains?
That card is super old, before GCN. Have you tried with something a little bit more recent?

I used to have a HD 7950 and it always worked perfectly, same with my current Vega 56.
Congress loves giving away power to the Executive Branch so they don't have to bear responsibility for unpopular decisions. It's likely that at some point Congress gave this power to the president though not necessarily this Congress and this president. Congress is free to take the power back if it votes to do so.

Given that even the Biden campaign has prohibited their workers from installing the TikTok app, there isn't likely to be much of a partisan fight over this issue.
Why the GRUB2 Secure Boot Flaw Doesn’t Affect Purism Computers
Yes, this is an interesting rumor. While the typical DSL routers have become quite nice (Fritzbox), so having WIFI pretty much works as easily as it should, there is one big gap in the current Apple lineup: time machine. For me, time machine is a very important feature. With a desktop mac, it is as easy as it could be, plug in an external USB drive and you are set up. For truely mobile devices, this is still missing. So I would definitely like to have an AirPort with good time machine support. Ideally, supporting external drives with USB for that, as the old time capsule was a nice product but had hilarious high drive costs.
Haiti’s Creole Pig and the Other Swine Flu Epidemic (2009)
Because at Twitter a couple of people did not pay attention. Social engineering is the very low hanging fruit of hacking. People are so much more vulnerable than well designed systems, this has been proven over and over again.
The ME runs on an ARC chip, not ARM.

Joking aside, yea 90% of my job hunt tends to be recruiters on LinkedIn, resume in an email, straight to calls. For Software in the bay.

I'm sure this varies a ton by industry and role.
But maybe the real treasure was the friends you made along the way?
Note that a platform is being banned that's not tied to particular speech. I still think it's wrong for an individual to be able to do this
China has also put dissident and unwanted people in 're-education' camps.
Should we do that next?
That power output really is the area under the curve, in which case most of the sun's energy is in the infrared, actually.
This is exactly why it has been forked under a less-passive-aggressive name, Glimpse[0]. If GIMP implements these, Glimpse eventualy will get them, too.

They have not crossed the "threshold of winning". RTFA, please!
> We lose nothing by banning it.

You lose freedom.

Would it be OK to also ban Burguers? They're unhealthy and you lose "nothing" by banning them.
Sure, but if Apple saves $100 in material costs, this means something like $200 less on the list price. The build and parts costs are usually less then half of the sales price.
Reminds me of "E-mail Addresses It Would Be Really Annoying to Give Out Over the Phone"

https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/e-mail-addresses-it-woul...
On your suggestion I browsed the front page for 10 minutes just to see what all the fuss has been about. Tiktok is worse than I could have imagined.
If country X believes that Facebook is being used as an intelligence or opinion-shaping tool by the United States government then country X would be justified in trying to do something about it, in my opinion. And the loss of Facebook and it’s toxic effect on its users wouldn’t make me lose any sleep if I was a citizen in country X. And I think this is probably true. I know in Myanmar Facebook is insanely popular and I personally knew people very high up in the government who used Facebook and their whole family did as well. I’m confident that Facebook could use their records to effect almost any kind of change imaginable in Myanmar. Their access is mind blowing. Maybe I’m being a bit hyperbolic but the point gets across.
> the algorithm rewarded me with 100k's views

Question:

a) why do you interpret that as a reward?

b) what leads you to believe those views are real or even meaningful?

multibillion dollar company tells its digital sharecroppers to work harder for their pennies.
You can unroll a sufficient number of times. There would be an upper limit on iterations and it would presumably be horrible inefficient, but I can't see why it wouldn't work.
I love China and Chinese culture but it would be extremely unfair for TikTok to be allowed to succeed when China bans all popular Western communication tools.
I was about to complain about the lack of https. But for a five year old side-project you may be forgiven :wink:.
He pissed off the wrong people.
It's pretty sad when human beings are reduced to the level of downvoting objective facts.
For someone in China to criticise the central government is for them to risk their liberty. It's not a good life to be dissident in China.

Freedom of speech affects freedom of thought. If you can't say something then nobody else will hear it. And if you can't hear a certain viewpoint then you are less likely to consider it.

So you have to imagine the missing comments from China, firstly the person who wanted to criticise the government but was too afraid to say it, and secondly the person who never had a chance to consider criticising the government because they live in a place where that criticism is taboo.
I think this is correct. Be mindful of how HR is likely to work at the place that hires you.

Big Co: there is some HR screener looking for keywords who hands a stack of resumes -- maybe a hundred -- to a hiring manager who has to quickly go through them and pick maybe 5-10 who will get a screen. If the screen goes well, it may go to a second screen or a full panel.

The thing to keep in mind is that interviewing bears substantial costs for the firm. You are yanking 5-6 senior people out of usually an overloaded sprint to spend an hour and then more time writing up a form, so basically 1 day of work. But you may have 300 people applying. That means if everyone got a full panel, it would take 1 year of labor to fill 1 position.

Obviously that's not possible, so the end result is going to be capricious for the person going through the process -- there's no way around that, as you can only have resources to do an indepth look at 5 out of those 300. So yes, interviewing sucks and you will often get unfairly ruled out for stupid stuff. We get it, but that's how it has to be and will continue to be as long as applying for a job is costless and open to everyone who can upload a pdf. It's just a bad equilibrium -- the more people apply per position, the more arbitrary the process becomes, which encourages more people to apply to many different positions to hedge their bets, which creates more resumes per position, etc.

For really famous firms like Microsoft or Google, they may get 1000-3000 applications per positions. Even if most of these applicants are unsuitable, they still gum up the works and add more randomness to the process.

OTOH, if it's a smaller company you don't get so many applying and they can afford to give a better look per resume, but then again it's going to depend on the job market situation. Still your odds are better.

Strangely, it's rare for the candidate to actually think about what it's like on the other side of this and take steps that make it easier to process their resume.

Stuff like: keep it to a single page, read the requirements in the job posting and include relevant experience/skills rather than a full dump of everything you did, etc. And never, ever, lie about a skill or experience. Try to make the resume easy to read for someone who has to read 100 of them per hour.
Same here. Very confusing website. Also: I'm a German user and some parts of the page are randomly German, while most are English. Same on the checkout page which is a no go for me. Assets are pixelated, the page looks scammy in general.
Projecting Bitcoin’s Price with Popularity (Google Trends)
I remember when terrorism was blowing up a building injuring almost 1000 people and killing countless more, or crashing airplanes into two buildings, killing 3000 and injuring countless more. Burning police cars that ended in not even an injury is a felony, but terrorism? No way.

I really wish people would stop lowering the bar for what's called terrorism. It's a very dangerous slope.
I lived in Kenya before, during, and after the 2007 ethnic violence caused by the disputed results of the presidential election... but why is this on HN? It's completely unrelated to technology or startups.
But you have no safeguard against that?

I mean here in France when the government or the assembly trie to pass a law that is potentially unconstitutional there is an emergency review process by the "constitutional council" that can veto all or parts of the law that infringe.

This process just happened recently because our president tried to pass a "hate law" on social media that was deemed unconstitutional because it had too many unpredictable side effects on free speech principles.
Deprecation does not imply removal in the short-term. Java has deprecated many things which will never be removed, because they care about compatibility. Just because there's a newer way to do something does not mean the old way must be removed as soon as possible. If it was very high maintenance and it prevented the addition of new functionality, this might be justified. But that's not the case. It's completely gratuitous.

The GTK+ removals are akin to removing "strlen()" from the C library because a better "strlengh()" was added in the meantime. Compatibility matters. And well-maintained projects balance that with the addition of new features.
It'd be useful in more if they were noticeably better today than when they were introduced. I wonder how much is down to intrinsic shortcomings with voice assistance and how much is just no one's made a good one.
Hiring for a few devs right now. Read cover letters.

That said if you have never worked a programmer job in your life, a cover letter won’t land you a senior web-dev role.
The latter is the only way that works for me.

In one case, I found a job posting with an online form that had the name of the recruiter on the website. I dug up the recruiter's email and sent an email intro + my resume. From there she said "thanks, let me put you into the system". So double win for me because my application was acknowledged and I didn't have to fill out their custom form! (Made it to the last round).

Hitting out of the system makes you stand out and they're forced to consider you
> I stopped seeing these in-mails as noise in my inbox and started making the effort to reply to all recruiter in-mails, even for positions I was not interested in. By doing this, I succeeded in building a network of recruiters that have become a rich resource if I have to switch roles in the future.

Recruiters are not your friends who'll help you out in time of need. My experience is that they don't even look at your profile unless you reply.

I'd wager a bet (and this is only my personal opinion) that if you lose your job for whatever reason, this will be a red flag to most of such "network" and when you need another job, they'll avoid you like the plague. An addendum to this wager would be that if you get hired by some high-prestige company (think Microsoft, Apple, Google, LinkedIn, ...), they'll swarm you trying to poach you for whatever you have open (so exactly when you don't need them).
Check out GruntCode (I think that’s the name)
They do devops as a service.
~$8k a year to access their code, they’ll even help you tune it. Never used them.
Worth having a multi month break at some point in your career where you spend most your time practicing and taking technical interviews. It makes you a better programmer and problem solver.
That does sound like you are assuming that everyone always talks about large-scale environments with dozens or more machines?
It was a re-org, those engineering teams just moved to be under CAI or ED. The people are still there.
Since this story came out a few days ago, does anyone know if Amazon has commented on whether or not they plan to launch these 'themselves' / with Blue Origin?
In Europe there are many banks where you can use their app to enable or disable countries, online payments, ATM withdrawals and sometimes even NFC payments of a specific card. Works super great!
I think you'd be surprised how few extra features Word in Office 365 has compared to WordStar 2000 considering the forty year gap. And also how poorly designed, inelegant, and - yes - pointlessly bloated Word feels in comparison.

The biggest differences are screen size - full document vs a few lines of text - and support for colours and outlining. Also, PDFs, which weren't a thing in the early 80s.

But the core features in WS2000 are a lot more than a "rounding error" compared to Word.
After putting some thought into this during a deeper comment chain somewhere, I thought about it this way:

FHE is equivalent to circuits, i.e., every circuit has a representation as a FHE. I feel like the idea is: Circuits can perform arbitrary computations on a limited size input, but not on an arbitrary size inputs. Loops are not a problem, as they are an implementation detail. Unbounded output is not possible on a touring machine that halts for all inputs of size s limited by some constant. There exists a circuit that would compute the same thing, as you can take the (binary encoded) results of the touring machine and just create a truth table from that, which describes a circuit. Circuits are interesting because they are usually limited in size.

So you compile your program into a circuit of a fixed size and can then compute solutions of this size. If you are interested in larger problems, you compile your program into a larger circuit. E.g., a function returing an 32bit integer and taking 20 32bit integers as parameters can be represented this way (without infinite loops, but those aren't covered by turing machines either), no matter the computation within that function.

edit: correction, obviously a circuit can not represent all partial functions, only functions (i.e., all inputs have an output).
Reviewing the worst piece of code ever
You're fighting tooth and nail for that shot at a better life and that's admirable. But I think the author has different aspirations. Those ideas of "changing the world" are perhaps born out of the privilege of at the very least getting to call a first world country their home, but I think they're still worth discussing - though any changes proposed must not close doors to people like you.
You seem personally offended but I believe this is a good reason. We ban all kinds of things. So you think we shouldn’t ban guns? You think we shouldn’t ban any kind of speech, including doxxing and death threats? You think we shouldn’t ban cancerous chemicals? This is mental gymnastics at the Olympic level. Of course we ban things sometimes.

Banning a widespread intelligence gathering and opinion shaping tool of the Chinese government is completely reasonable.
I think it's reasonable to do for national security purposes, just like I think it's reasonable to disentangle U.S. industries from Chinese companies that pose national security threats and steal trade secrets.

So as a matter of principle, at least, I'm fine with it. I can't say I feel great about the wisdom of banning Tiktok in particular, but I won't let that confuse me into disagreeing with the underlying principle.
