Ok so we have to play by the rules to the absolute T. But our adversaries like China/Russia can play dirty and anyway they want, because you say justice is absolute and black and white. Great.
>The barrier to move HQs and the like is so insanely low for large corporations that companies will gladly do it for even the most marginal tax benefits

So why is so much tech stuck on the west coast then?

If it were that simple they'd have all moved (moved their operations and headcount) to lower tax areas by now.
The whole system is broken. You are not rewarded for living well and eating healthy or exercising, you're penalized for other people's preventable diseases, obesity being a primary preventable illness that causes other problems.
Universal healthcare doesn't care about the causes of illness, it just cares about paying it's working for treating the illness. If there is no requirements for keeping health to receive health insurance, and everyone who destroys their body gets healthcare at the cost of those who don't use it because they're healthy, why would a healthy person with no illnesses want it?

I'd love to see prevention before it goes to healthcare, but try even mandating soda sizes in the US... The only way is to make it unpopular like supersize me (although he was shady and never showed the food logs).

Healthcare should be paternalistic by definition but American culture cares so much about freedoms they won't wear masks during a global pandemic so it's incompatible.
Thank you for your article. I also had alarming palpitations while on Vitamin D 5000IU, and did not make the connection until months later when I slacked off with taking it and they went away. Started taking them again and the palpitations came back. Went through the full battery of heart tests and everything said I was fine. I posted on here a few months back on another post about Vitamin D, explaining my (admittedly anecdotal) situation, and some commenters seemed not to believe me. Happy to hear that I'm not alone.
> scientists code in the Literate Programming Paradigm

I wish. In my career as a computational scientist I have never seen this in practice, either in academia or industry.

On unit testing, I half agree. Most unit tests get quickly thrown out as the code changes, so it's a depressing way to write research code. But tests absolutely help someone trying to run old code - they show what parts still work and how to use them.
Generally, for every crime x, the act of planning x is a crime known as "conspiracy to commit x"
I don't think we should be taking ques from a company that had listening devices in the bathrooms and where employees were encouraged to sabotage each other to get ahead.
There was a recent reddit AMA with some SpaceX engineers that confirmed that they run a buildroot system with RT patches for most things, and a handful of microcontrollers for the timing critical stuff.
If the underlying hardware is a bare metal server, it won't magically turn slow and have a CPU spike. That problem is caused noisy neighbor and kind of exclusive to clouds.

Well, with the 2x example, my app might get from a 1s P99 to a 2s P99 which feels slow, but is still doable. Again, those timeouts are usually introduced by cloud infrastructure. For example, if you use nginx outside of Heroku, it won't have a 30s timeout for file downloads.
I think what we're arguing about is whether or not this distinction should remain meaningless, since one player in this game clearly does not see it that way.

Towards secure by default Google Cloud: Default service accounts
Agreed! In my situation, lots of developers were porting Java APIs to go. They essentially had to be rewritten twice:

1st way: the way our Java devs thought Go was “supposed” to be written

2nd way: how Go should probably actually be written

By embracing the simplicity and Go’s opinionatedness the first time around, you’ll save yourself a lot of refactoring headache later.
> So I guess they just failed to monetize the technology.

Yes, it's really that simple. All those "container wars" and "orchestration wars" are a distraction from the core issue, which is that all those container and orchestration tools are open-source, and it's very hard to build a viable business on top of them. Docker tried and failed, like most startups involved.
ability = hours * talent^2 where average talent is 1

Having an ego is just wasted energy, try to be happy with what you can achieve because you cannot control talent, just hours.
But "rerunning reproducability" is mostly a neccessary requirement for independent reproducability. If you can't even run the original calculations against the original data again how can you be sure that you are not comparing apples to oranges?
Thanks, and yeah, I got most of that from some Googling around afterwards, but I do want to note that I had encountered your first link, and that it itself is somewhat recursively defined with terminology that is glossed over:

ReactDOM.hydrate(element, container[, callback])

Same as render(), but is used to hydrate a container whose HTML contents were rendered by ReactDOMServer. React will attempt to attach event listeners to the existing markup.

Searching for hydrate in the React docs leads you to the hydrate method, which describes itself in terms of its use to hydrate a container. The crazy thing is that there's numerous blog posts that purport to tell you what react hydration is, which do the exact same thing and define it in terms of itself. Partly, this may be React (and the community's) reliance on you knowing what that concept is, but that's particularly unacceptable in article that purport to explain it.

Is it really so hard for these reference docs and explanatory sources to say something along the lines of "hydration in React is the act of fleshing out a server delivered model of the page that came with poor or no data with rich data delivered later in the process" ?
What about Godot? The anecdotal evidence I’ve heard has seemed to say that Godot is the best for rapid prototyping because of GDScript, and maybe easier animation.
Yeah I’m sure when the West abdicates intelligence funding and increases education, the anti-west axis forming/formed will come in by the campfire and sing kumbaya with you.

They live alongside each other yes, but OP's point is still valid. Muslims believe their religion is the one true religion. Christians believe their religion is the one true religion. And so on and so forth...

Or to put it another way: they all think their shit don't stink. It's even crazier when you break it down into denominations (see: Iran vs Saudi Arabia).

Ask HN: Are there bots on GitHub too?
Someone starred/forked a repository a public repo of mine. Upon checking, https://github.com/isgasho seems to be forking primarily Go and Rust code repos, and has done so for 5K+ repos. Is that a bot?
1. Listen to Christopher Hitchens talk about the hate speech law proposed in Canada (particularly his rant about how this is a problem rooted in human nature, not something we can legislate away).

2. Read "Robert's Rules of Order." (Not the whole thing, just the beginning.) The problem of building consensus among diverse and differing parties has been considered at length, and we should be familiar with the historical approaches to the problem rather than starting from scratch.

3. Read "Digital Minimalism" or some other book about the attention economy so that you understand how many businesses (as well as dark money political groups) intentionally engineer their products to produce dramatic emotional responses to information (because they are more addictive and make it easier to sell ads or win votes).

Without appreciating the history of this problem, its roots in human nature, and the business and political incentives to prevent its solution, we aren't going to get anywhere.
It’s not a loophole. The ADA simply doesn’t require people to add accommodations unless construction or renovation is taking place. It was a very intentional provision.
When I zoom in (ctrl+) it appears to me that the people across the top aren't actually holding the flag. The guy on our left is- with one hand, but the others don't seem to be (at least to me, but I'm no photoshop-spotter expert). That is, part of their hands doesn't seem to be blocked by the flag the way I would expect if they were holding it.

The woman in red on our right also doesn't seem to be holding it. It's perhaps a cardboard sign or something? Maybe the picture of the flag was put over it?

Again, I'm no expert but it looks off to me.
I'm not 100% sure you're being literal but I agree with this statement when taken at face value.

Being "extraordinary" often means you're just making somebody else richer. There are some objectively extraordinary folks working at e.g. Facebook, but what does that really gain them? What has that given the world? It's a mixed bag, to put it mildly.

Probably the only real reason to strive for being "extraordinary" at your career so that you can stop working for other people, or if the craft itself brings you more joy than anything else in life.
Yes, this. Lighthouses are another good example.

>This is an extreme example (because it's so exceptionally pretty)

For a more pedestrian example, search for images of "letchworth state park upper falls". Note that photographers rarely try to crop out the railroad trestle even though it's much less pretty than everything else in the picture. It's an accepted part of the landscape and the aesthetic.
> If UberEats can really squeeze both the drivers AND the restaurants, there's no fundamental reason that food delivery can't be done profitably - pizza companies have been doing it in almost all markets for decades.

Pizza delivery is profitable because they sell cardboard and depend on teenager drivers relying on their parent's auto insurance.

Anyone who's actually looked at the person delivering their food would have thought twice about the margins in food delivery. To spell it out: food delivery is often performed by immigrants with few choices for under-the-table work. The margins are thin-to-none. The current system has worked because no one's investigating the thousands of independent restaurants.

Now tech companies are trying to do the same thing, but multimillion dollar corporations have a harder time hiding their labor exploitation from the public.

Going back to ryan's point, I agree that with full vertical integration (dirt cheap ingredients and centralised factory kitchens), food delivery could be profitable, but at what point is one just selling frozen food from a microwave/oven in the back of a car?
If video games are the subject the attitude should be am I having fun, not am I getting better. Some people can make money at playing games (both video and otherwise), but most people need to be okay with doing it for fun and never being world class.

I did understand what the article is about. But you only need to worry about failure under stress if you are driving your system close to the hardware's limit.

In the virtual cloud world, that is common, because you rent the cheapest instance that will be big enough. In the bare metal world, that is rarely the case, because you usually get a Ryzen with 16+ cores and 128+ GB of RAM. In that case, there's no point in checking what will happen to your 200 MB web app if there's a CPU spike. It'll be just fine because the hardware can handle 10x the load without a hickup.

Similarly, if your page load time is dominated by internet latency, it doesn't matter if your CPU needs a few more ms to spit out the page HTML. So there, a 2x CPU usage increase will be barely noticeable to the user.
Why would Taiwanese companies be subject to this? Are you talking about Taiwanese companies operating in China, or are you under the impression that China actually controls Taiwan?
> This is significant - if your organization only uses a few dozen base images from DockerHub, those images will only be downloaded by each build node _once_, then never again.

Only if your build nodes have unlimited storage. If the build nodes are spun up on demand or have housecleaning tasks to prevent Tragedy of the Commons disk exhaustion, this is not true.

On the other hand, this is what caching proxies/registries are for.
P.S. Since you’re using C++ shared pointers, you might want a cycle detection. But like Nim’s new ARC you can let the programmer beware and ensure their programs don’t produce cycles. It seems handy to allow pure RC’ing for embedded devices.

This is why I like links (upvoted because of that). To quote in full

"The fight here is about who gets to control the national narrative, and therefore, the nation’s shared memory of itself. One group has monopolized this for too long in order to create this myth of exceptionalism. If their version is true, what do they have to fear of 1619?"

Not quite what you said. Interesting, and needs a better statement of precisely what she's trying to do, but it doesn't seem anywhere near as underhand as you imply.

"I’ve always said that the 1619 Project is not a history. It is a work of journalism that explicitly seeks to challenge the national narrative and, therefore, the national memory. The project has always been as much about the present as it is the past."

Again, she needs to be very clear of her intent, but it seems it's about un-erasing an unpleasant past, recognising it which I presume is hoped to prevent such things happening again.

I see that you haven't answered my questions BTW.
Wait, in a modern democracy you can have an executive branch that's actually accountable for breaking laws? Huh...

Is there a pool of skilled software architects willing to provide consultations at well-below market wages? Or a Q&A forum full of people interested in giving this kind of advice? (StackOverflow isn't useful for this; the allowed question scope is too narrow.) I guess one incentive to publish one's code is to get it criticized on places like Hacker News. The best way to get the right answer on the internet is to post the wrong answer, after all.

Oh, I'm not disputing that at all. Just that the bridge's enduring quality (much as with other Deoression-era / WPA works) is at odds with your observation on poverty. Though that does seem to have some validity otherwise.

They use Oracle as in Oracle Cloud. Not Oracle database.

> High-consciousness individuals do not seek to troll

This seems naive to me. If trolling is an effective strategy, then high-consciousness individuals will seek to troll to further their own gains.

Are you certain that this strategy stops trolls? Or does this only give trolls more room to spew their ideology, growing their political power?

I totally disagree. Given how insidious the relationship between big corp and CCP in China can be, the default position should be 'distrust' unless otherwise proven.

The western concepts of 'trust' by default does not apply in a nation that is inherently, even internally for domestic affairs, is primarily based on the distrustful corporate affairs.

I've audited about 200 suppliers in China in last 10 years, it is a repeating motif to 'distrust by default' from small to large companies. Yes, they're not big corporations but the idea that we should treat Chinese companies and German companies in identical trust-worthy fashion, especially when it comes to engagement with the CCP, is an extremely deluded, out-of-touch and misinformed stance.
I wish people would take some time to actually learn about China as it exists today and not how the West imagined it in 2003. The discourse here and in other places (like Reddit) has been of absolute garbage quality. Even in this thread there have been calls for the US to ignore the rule of law and have kangaroo courts that always side with the government, complete misunderstanding of why India banned TikTok (retaliatory blow in a border dispute), and claims that it is ironic that Facebook/Google is banned in China. That last one represents shockingly poor understanding of recent events. For example, western companies choose not to operate in the Chinese market: https://theintercept.com/collections/google-dragonfly-china/

Citizens in a democracy have rights, but they also have a responsibility to try to understand their system of government and the evil forces they contend with.

If the US wants to ban TikTok (maybe it is in fact in our interest to do so, although I personally disagree), there is a due process. Just like Trump has the legal right to end DACA, the courts have upheld that there is a proper way to do that, and it doesn’t involve being capricious: https://www.npr.org/2020/06/18/829858289/supreme-court-uphol...

tier-1 biotech in the bay area (genentech, gilead, etc) pays less than tier-1 tech (google, facebook, etc), but that's mainly because FAAMG pay such absurdly high base salaries.

The difference is less profound for tech folks at biotech companies than it is for biotech people. Certainly when I worked at a biotech startup for a year, after leaving FAAMG, I was able to negotiate the same base salary, but base salary is only a part of total comp...
