I hope that I'm selling my labor to my company for less than it's worth. Otherwise, I've put a giant target on my back for elimination. The company is taking a risk by employing me and paying me no matter what I produce; I don't mind at all at they make a profit on the transaction and seek to keep it that way.

I've met several people involved in union organizing at household name tech companies who have been disciplined by the companies they work for for exercising their "free speech" rights. You don't mean "tech left" here, you mean "liberal".
even more amazing when you realize this was just the first one in the newer Korean script, and they had much older ones in the traditional Chinese script that was widely used by Koreans until recently.

Unless races are all wired differently, I think it's safe to assume that there should probably be equal representation in every single field. Is that your argument?

We are a YC company building an API for the airline industry. We simplify the process of connecting to hundreds of airlines and are already working with major travel companies like Kiwi, Priceline and Trip.com.

Our team is lean, entrepreneurial and moves extremely fast. We do 3-day sprint cycles and believe we all must take extreme levels of ownership to ensure we are successful together.

We're looking for a Backend Engineer (Python) to help us scale up.

Thanks. I have not done android for the last year, but I'm repo-sync now to see CVE-2020-0022 can be captured by the g++ flags I had now
I agree with this one. I don't think it necessarily makes sense to put in the standard library, since there are people using Rust for embedded systems and such. Instead I think it'd be best to have an "extended standard library" as a single very large crate.

The gist of this would be:

1. It has a larger, more committed team than J. Random Developer. The core rust team promotes this as good place for Rust enthusiasts to contribute if they're not compiler specialists.

2. Everything added to the crate has similar naming conventions, argument order, intermediary structures, package hierarchy, etc. Basically an experienced user should have some chance of correctly guessing how to call a function they've never used before but hope is in the library. (The Java library does this - I just correctly guessed one of the ways to call java.awt.Graphics.drawPolygon without being sure it exists.)

3. There should only one of everything in the crate. (Java does not do this - awt vs swing for example.)

4. The extended standard library absorbs crates that are de-facto standards and no longer receiving active development / no longer need active development. It may rename some stuff on the way to fit point 2.

And some examples of crates in a current project that I thought could stand to be in such a library, either now or eventually, are dotenv, rust-crypto, serde, and env_logger.
I doubt they care much about the "eventual ripoff". Their strategy is to out-pace competitors through innovation. It is the same reason they open sourced almost all their patents.
> Every one here has a 3rd party reddit app or uses RES. (if you don't, please do).

I sometimes go long stretches without using Reddit, but I'm 100% in the second column when I use it. I've never used a 3rd party reddit app and I don't use RES. The reason is that I only ever browse Reddit on the computer (logged in, in "old" Reddit mode). If you don't browse Reddit on your phone, these aren't really necessary. (This isn't just a Reddit thing, I also don't browse Twitter, Facebook, or any other social platform on my phone. Mainly, this is because I want to avoid the dark patterns and unblockable ads of mobile apps.)

I'm friends with some ex-managers as well as my ex-reports. I've hired reports to new companies when I moved before. I still talk to them over text/slack since our department dissolved in the recession. I was hoping I'd be in a position to hire them all at a new place by now, but it hasn't worked out.
Both markets were very open by any measure.

There was no real central planning, few tariffs, few regulations, nobody was in charge or could make monopolies by fiat.
Peter made such great games: Populous, Dungeon Keeper, Black and White.
Exactly this! There is no reason why both laborer and company can't be happy. Work is a mutually beneficial arrangement and as a manager I get to make sure that is true for both parties! I hate when people have the mentality that life, work, or happiness is a zero sum game.
This will work for a while until it blows up your whole account! Be careful.
Taking all of that in-and thank you for offering what you’ve been able to this far-will HN moderation team consider making time to the community for a “town hall”/“AMA” going over some of the more opaque or otherwise commonly misunderstood elements of what informs the moderation strategies and tactics deployed in the community?

Given that you’ve stated doing so presently would be an unwieldy and rather involved affair, opening the opportunity for such a transparent display of community engagement at a later date seems like a charitable ask of you?

Right. The NYT, WSJ, and Washington Post have large staffs of reporters. After that, not many US papers do any more.
There are places where people are more friends, even with their managers. Sometimes it cannot be avoided. It can be great or bad. Great is rare, and managers cracking the whip makes people work harder, not smarter.
If I get the choice, I prefer being friendly with eachother. There's no need to be mean, and there are ways to convey messages without condescending arrogance or unsolicited advice. Being friendly means a safe space to lift spirits and spread new ways of working and thinking. If you think somewhat similarly, you can even be allies and play to eachother's strengths. If your manager cannot ally with you, you should seriously consider finding somewhere else that got your back.
Don't lean on it though. It can be gone in an instant, and you should stand on your own feet as much as you can.
While I appreciate the US as a tourist, the psychopatic, hosile employees at the border made me change my mind a few times and go spend my euros elsewhere.

I don't know why you're being down voted. Blacks were purposefully if not explicitly excluded from many economic programs for decades, from the Homestead Act to the GI Bill. Several of their towns and communities we're destroyed, like Greenwood Tulsa. That sounds like sabotage.
@fyleo Time will tell, Satoshi's identity can not remain secret forever.
People are just ill-informed about markets in general, comments like this make it pretty obvious.

"Free money" in a publicly traded market, yeah sure.
"Anyone could have seen that fall coming", again, yeah sure.
disagree. if you think you're being over paid you probably aren't. If company is paying you an exorbitant amount of money it probably means they think you are indisposable.

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, but this is the other side of your perspective.
Theoretically the disconnect from reality will eventually catch up you and the whole system will suffer from a major correction.

It did have tariffs on trade with foreign countries, that's right. Tariffs don't automatically make a country "not free market", any more than taxes do. Internally there were no tariffs, it was a free market. Industrial production boomed in the free North.

The Southern economy was pretty much unable to produce any industrial goods, a typical problem for unfree economies.
"wrong" is a very loaded word to use in this context and it's not clear what you mean.

Wirecard short sellers were "right" (as in their thesis was corect) for many years before the stock price reflected their beliefs. Some of them probably got squeezed (and quite a few got in trouble with various financial authorities).

It's interesting to see what Old World cuisine looked like before the spread of New World ingredients.

Editing in a quote from the article for repliers: 'Notably, there’s no mention of gochugaru, the staple spice of Korean cuisine. Although gochugaru, made from New World chile peppers, became available during Lady Jang’s lifetime, “the book is really about the royal cuisine of her ancestors, when gochugaru was not available,” notes Lady Jo.'
does ccache or sccache help?

As jacobr1 pointed out, it's a disadvantage of metal-gate transistors, not an advantage. Silicon-gate transistors are entirely better than metal-gate transistors. (Except now metal-gate transistors are coming back for high performance, using "high-k" metals like hafnium. But these are completely different from 1970s-era metal-gate transistors.)

For your other question, the visible metal trace on top of the IC package is a common thing with ceramic packages. I think the purpose was to ground the metal lid of the IC to protect against noise, static, etc.
I've always taken the stance that I don't mix personal and work. That way I have a clean separation between the two. Rough days at work, I can shift focus to a different social circle. However, a few years ago I joined a team and we all got along too well. It became a group of friends that worked and played together. It was great in so many ways and after 2 years we all parted ways.

I doubt I'll ever experience something like it again and we still are friends but we all wish we had a team dynamic like we used to have.
Were you amazed back in the days when one of the most popular Unix flavours was produced by Microsoft? Yes, Xenix.
This is absolutely the reason. Go look at AAPL skew. Skew doesn’t go negative in response to strong underlying, it goes negative when you have a relentless gamma bid. Go look at the massive volume in single name flows. It’s not the only reason we rallied, but it’s the reason we went parabolic. Would NQs have printed 12500 without SoftBank? Yes. But it wouldn’t have been so aggressive.
There are many, many non-technical founders. Most jobs at Google and Facebook are not in engineering. A lack of blacks in computer science might explain why the engineering department has only two black employees but how do we explain the sales team?

Some people still think Trump is a Russian agent, on account of 3 years of conspiracy theories being promoted by the left wing media and their loyalists in the CIA and FBI. That's extremely problematic. QAnon and PizzaGate are fringe at best (and its not entirely clear how consequential they are), but probably half the country still does not realize that the Obama administration (and its loyalists) illegally spied on the Trump campaign, entrapped members of Trump admin (General Flynn), and did worse than Nixon could have ever dreamed of.
I have the cheapest ACA / Obamacare bronze-level plan available to me in my area.

It costs $500 monthly (no subsidies if you make more than 45k a year) and has a $7000 deductible. It provides zero coverage (except life/limb emergency) outside of my metro area.

This isn’t working for me but I have no other options.

Not trying to be snarky, just honestly curious as I have seen very similar comments on wsb.

Wasn't there also the think that the German Monopoly commission allowed the merge (in the German marked) only under certain conditions/guarantees Facebook had to gave which the change to require Facebook for anything close to full usage of an Oculus VR headset violates?

It's also not the first time that Facebook told (legally binding) the monopoly one thing and then did another thing being like "Uh we give a shit about German and Eu law the penalties are to small".

Then there is GDPR.

So I wouldn't be surprised if it's partially because they have problems with putting up a "user contract" which isn't blown up directly into their face. Which allows them to (try to) wriggle out of constraints.

Honestly while some EU countries still back FB (because profit) in many countries FB has lost all/most patience and goodwill from the law keepers.

Also fun side note as far as I know FB also promised the founder of Oculus that they would not do exactly that (require a FB account for social features). Sure it's not legally binding but just another of a very large pill of anecdotes about how FB can not be trusted at all and given Marks role in it you can pretty much extend that to him to, which IMHO isn't surprising if you look into the (early) history of FB...

Yep, and the apprenticeship model even longer (which I'd argue is a category lambdaschool falls under)

Willing to pay for is a low bar. A prerequisite of many. People are willing to pay $1 for a decent coffee, for example.
A better way to look at it, imho: you can check for the unexpected condition in the client, or in the database.

With ON CONFLICT .. DO, it's in the database, which has advantages sometimes: it's typical to have multiple clients, and one database.

Even better, you can treat conflict as an expected condition, and specify what to DO when it arises.

An example in SQLite which I happened to be working on this week: I have a table with a (foreign key, ordinal) tuple as the primary key of the table. Bad things happen to the client code if there are duplicate ordinals, but the row itself is mutable, so: on conflict, update.

There's nothing left to check, this is simply a compact way for me to specify the correct behavior. The client can simply write new rows, without having to delete the old ones.
The rest of us have a right to set ourselves apart from people who spread hate and ignorance, and if "the right" wants to identify itself with such views then that's a problem it created for itself. Equating racist, misogynist, paranoid insanity delivered 280 characters at a time with any sort of intellectually substantive "right-conservatism" is really a slur against all people who label themselves as the latter, but I guess when you're all tangled up in ideological confusion that kind of introspection gets very difficult.
Populous was awesome! I remember 1989, when Populous and SimCity were the two "big" Amiga games. I had just added a full megabyte to my Amiga 500... fun times!

>Unless races are all wired differently, I think it's safe to assume that there should probably be equal representation in every single field. Is that your argument?

Maybe I used the term wired a bit loosely, we're all the same DNA to be sure, but we are shaped by our environment, biology, wealth, upbringing, culture and so many other factors. I don't think how given a multitude of factors you can achieve equal representation unless you also have equal representation along the other axes. (Edit: Also, humans are not robots. There is still the element of free-will here. It may well be that Eskimos have no interest in entrepreneurship. :))

I've been at $megacorp for a few years. We just completed yet another formal, annual review. It would be easy for me to look at the process and say it is needlessly structured, time consuming, and has never had any surprises.

That said, I once worked for many years at a small company with no formal review process at all. At this place, there was practically no communication from upper management about how they thought you were doing, whether they understood or valued your work, what they wanted you to focus on, etc. After years of this, I left feeling rather bitter and unappreciated.

For all its flaws, the review process at forces a conversation where you get to summarize to higher management what you have accomplished and why it is important. Peer-review at least gives you a chance to call out outstanding work from your co-workers. And the review itself at least gives you a venue to hear what management thinks of what you have done.

Anyway, I'd do a lot differently now, if I were back at the old place. But on the whole, I think the review process is actually a good thing.

1) Shorted dated options have lots of gamma which amplifies the effects of this exponentially.

2) There are very few discretionary investors left, most are index funds. They targeted a few names which have outsized influence on indices. This in turn forces passives to buy those same names in order to keep tracking error low. Which then amplifies the effects from point 1, giving SB pnl which they can lever to repeat the cycle.

I appreciate that it's a little annoying and repetitive, but I think in this case, it really is better, because the business logic for exactly what should be done with each value in the case of a conflict can vary so widely. It's good to have the full flexibility of SQL and all of the associated values to work with for the purpose of constructing the new value for the column.

This brings back memories (of ten years ago).

I worked in astrophysics for a while, and maintained a large codebase that included a ton of Fortran, and had a lot of references to Vax VMS systems within the comments as that's what the team I worked with used mostly through the 80s and early 90s before moving to Linux.

One of the things that didn't seem to happen was C - there was some code here and there (I wrote a module for IDL - IDL is a proprietary scripting language that mimics and interoperates with Fortran in a lot of ways). Fortran was able to stick around because of a lot of work on great compilers, and I think, in general, the great speed up of commercial hardware has made the need for hyper optimization less necessary for a lot of day-to-day physics study.
I only really know about it in the area where I live. AC was not generally included in new construction in the San Francisco Bay Area until the 1980s or 1990s. I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of apartments in the area still didn't have AC, based on the amount of window AC units I see.

However, most homes built in this area were built central ducted heating systems since the 1950s-1960s, when there was a massive building boom. Most older homes have had central heating added as a retrofit decades ago -- even old Victorian homes. So when people upgrade to AC today, it's very common to just use the same ducts.

It's not easy to find a house with a ductless mini split AC system around here. Most homes have a single-zone central system that cools the entire house.
Rome also had grain dispersals, one of the things to go during a siege. This is well recorded.

I, too, was surprised by the article's claim that it wasn't possible to have a mechanism for organizing taxation. If sumerian priests could keep extensive ledgers tracking debt some gajillion years ago, why would a renaissance french king have any issues?
