I am surprised and perhaps impressed by the tremendous number of commenters dropping by to post that children are beneficial, we should all be working together to help parents, the purpose of society is to raise children...while omitting to mention that having children is also incredibly rewarding and represents evolutionary success of the highest order. No one would say, aerospace is beneficial, so we should give all the employees with private planes extra time off to pursue their avocation. Some of those planes are going to participate in search and rescue some day. People would recognize that this is robbing the poor to feed the rich and that is exactly what taking from single people -- overwhelmingly people who are less able, socially or financially, to have children -- represents. The many people who had children while expecting to rely on society for the whole ~20 years of it -- who had not backup plan involving extended family and didn't consider that a problem -- weren't thinking straight and made a mistake. It's amazing that so many people made imprudent choices and imprudency is not something we can ask our coworkers to cover for.
I'd love to hear more about what you're implying here and what else constitutes though crime for you.
Most likely a bug or some jailbreak system files lingering if you did a 'restore from backup' (iCloud or otherwise); nobody has demonstrated being able to detect a JB after doing a full restoring with iTunes and setting up as new.
You mean what the Simpsons had a gag on in Season 10?
I didn't bring up slavery or any US internal issues at all - it's entirely worthless to this discussion.

What I'm trying to say, is that truth matters. We can't just level unfounded claims because it's convenient, that's how you devolve into a nationalist flame war, with the military industrial complex giggling in the background.
Amazing that Dennett and Gould were in a panel together!
Ah, that explains why our leftist president recently declared that certain thoughts and ideas are "un-American propaganda."
My friends and I did the exact same thing, for the exact same reason, but with Pocket Tanks.

Shameless plug for my startup, popcorner.io (YC S20), which sends you weekly updates to high profile cases like this one. Administered by Top 10% law school grads with federal Appeals or Supreme court clerking experience, we send out plain-English commentary weekly by email, plus a snail-mailed new flavor of fair trade non-GMO popcorn each month.

Popcorn clubs have been springing up at many law schools with in-person classes this fall, much to our surprise. The kids get together IRL with popcorn and beer, discussing the finer points of this normally very complicated cases, and sometimes professors join in the fun.

In other news, our subreddit has been "popping" since the suit was announced last week. Hint: try the apple-cinnamon popcorn, my favorite. They finally got the Stevia optimized for microwaving.

While our Epic vs. Apple package is popular, the Trump vs. Biden Contested Election anticipatory special left us scrambling to fill orders and we're trying to find more clerks at SCOTUS who are willing to make a lateral move. paulg even helped us stuff the intro packages at our warehouse just outside of Cambridge. He was super nice and fit right in with the rest of us. Thanks, Paul!

TL;DR: Put an Epyc cpu in a Dell once, and it will never work again in any other vendor's motherboard? Is that right?
If that weight were a fission reactor you wouldn't have to move it up and down. And it would be 100% efficient. And you wouldn't need an external power plant.
If business wants something quick and the cost of the website being slow doesn't matter... Why bother?

On the other side, I've been building websites that gets +95 on mobile on Google page speed. If no image above the fold... It gets 100. In mobile, yes. And I still have analytics, YouTube and images...

So I'd say depends by what business needs.

The TPP was also a deeeeeee-saster, it amounted to a mega-corp giveaway and one of the most egregious things to the HN crowd at the time was imposing America’s draconian copyright laws on all signatory countries. Frankly I was surprised Obama wanted it as part of his legacy.
By rock the boat, he means not criticizing a brutal regime. But fair game on the US and the west hey?
That's what you have studies for! Glad they caught it before it got into the wild.

Also, it's really great that there are multiple vaccines. Just imagine what happens when everyone gets a single vaccine that turns out to very often cause an adverse reaction...
I’m not saying the only point. I made this clear I believe.

The biological point still exists. It’s up to you to judge how much that means to you - to some nothing; to others everything. Why else would we have an entire chromosome dedicated to aiding in the reproduction of ourselves? Why do my plants spend so many calories on developing seedlings to reproduce a variation on themselves?

Reproducing doesn’t say anything about you in my opinion. It is our biological purpose I believe through the science of evolution, however. And to the original point of the thread - it’s a benefit to society to have healthy, educated children in our society. This is the gift to all of us that parents give us. We should privilege that. We shouldn’t penalize this because of not only the societal benefit but because it’s objectively natural. The proof is the 7 billion people on earth. (Natural doesn’t mean better. It just means the biological drive our sex hormones and sex mechanisms grant us)
You can in fact! Pumped hydro is already the cheapest form of energy storage - about 95% of all energy storage is pumped hydro. We can't build more pumped hydro because it's not feasible to build enough dams. (We've used up the best locations)

The US Gov has studied plenty of research showing that underground pumped hydro is cost effective and obviates the need for dams. (See my white paper here: https://github.com/syllable-hq/uphs-feasibility-study)

So startups like Gravitricity (and Terrament, my startup) are innovating on what is already well-researched territory.
"Vampirism+" to buff regen rate from drinking blood and "Hearts Heal You" to start with anyway.

If in the first section, for example, you get hit with a shotgun blast, taking the health damage is fine. But there should be an opportunity to heal and get back up to a safe level, even if it requires careful, patient searching and back tracing to do so. At the moment, a few early game missteps spells probable disaster for that entire playthrough way more than midgame mistakes. Difficulty should ramp up rather than down in my book

I also made myself a custom mod that enables a few extra quality of life tweaks such as editing wands everywhere, starting with vampirism enabled, poly-morph potion immunity (in mid to late game it's basically the most deadly thing and frustratingly uncounterable in events where if you're holding an electric charged item in my book) and an extra flask of water starting off to deal with early game toxicity and fire but I haven't figured how to get it up to the workshop yet.
The entitlement of equality of outcome is real.

You could also say that eg. Germany is now tied between picking the most trustful partner and that the current us administration is at least "doubtful".

While Chinese sanctions could be applied easier when partnerships are strong. It's hard to go "all-in" while the be administration is dropping a lot of agreements, just because they were made by the previous president.

Countries like China and Russia are trying to make the most advantage now they can.
5.1 was the magic version of word processors.

Word 5.1 on the Mac was amazing. Fast, powerful, probably everything one would need even today, aside from track changes.

Wow, it looks like you really hit a nerve with this comment.

Good job.
I could have said "anything but circumstantial weak evidence" and my point would have been the same.
No idea, I tried them on both firefox and chrome and things were pretty laggy. Some worse than others. I don't have problems scrolling on other sites.
>“We have reasonable but not conclusive evidence that there is a risk of forced labor in supply chains related to cotton textiles and tomatoes coming out of Xinjiang,” Smith said in an interview. “We will continue to work our investigations to fill in those gaps.”

...

>In March, U.S. lawmakers proposed legislation that would effectively assume that all goods produced in Xinjiang are made with forced labor and would require certification that they are not.

These sanctions are an of extension XPCC / bingtuan sanctions from a few weeks ago. The organizations run XJ agriculture. Ultimately they're kind whatever, XJ tomatoes are <1B export and will be redirected for internal consumption. 40-50B of cotton will be washed through SEA producers. In terms of human rights, the reality is the ag workers particularly Uyghurs are going to suffer more after XPCC sanctions - primarily because region can't import superior US agricultural equipment. So they'll just end up working the people harder. Obviously US equipment producers will also lose out. Decouple is expensive, SMIC lose 4B, PSI loses 100B. The question is whether these moves are smart and within stated interests. Regardless, hope the bar for more significant escalation, particular military ones, is based on more conclusive findings, but you never know with election politics.
As someone who has been using Google Play Music All Access since day 1 this is the most obnoxious thing Google's done to me (not that they're doing it only to me, but that it has annoyed me the most), I definitely will be cancelling my subscription if they force me into YouTube music. I'm not supporting a company that breaks things that work just fine. I will not participate in your forced migration into YouTube. It's only a matter of time before congress swoops in and breaks YouTube out of Google at this rate.

I decided to post this after they've kept asking me to migrate to YouTube Music every single time I log into Google Play Music All Access.

This just guarantees I buy an iPhone and go with Apple's streaming service and avoid YouTube like the plague. I watch a number of gun related channels that get attacked by YouTube's policies, so I will have to just visit them in alternative sites they upload to.
It won't work on iPhones, which means no one will use it, I hope.
My original response was to highlight that perhaps we shouldn't be elevating child-raising as a completely altruistic, society-benefiting endeavor. We're talking about a few tech companies, which is not representative of the U.S. (nevermind human civilization).

"Amortized value to society" seems a very one-sided portrayal. Why should I earn less than someone who has kids, when skill/experience/contribution are equal?

Being a parent is a personal choice in today's day and age, especially for highly-paid tech employees. Let's not paint it as some altruistic gift to mankind.
I believe that accusing someone of being a shill is against HN rules.
Its not really vendor locking by design. It locks to a signing key. That key COULD be shared between vendors or even a single vendor could have multiple incompatible keys.

It provides a mechanism to prove the entire boot process hasn't been tampered with, but I wish AMD provided a way to run these fused processors in a generic way without the security chain, with it just reporting that there isn't a secure root of trust. However I assume they are afraid of that allowing malicious code to fool deeper parts of the system without the system administrator knowing.

So good for security, but bad for e-waste and second hand sales.
"Long working hours and oncall requirements..." are not benefits and they are only increasing now for childless people, while the parents get multiple weeks of free vacation.

You've engaged in a slight of hand here by describing the demands of a job that are somewhat easier for the childless to meet, and then turning around and treating these demands like they're "...policies that favor the childless...".
So how far do you take this. Is it okay for a father to kill children who aren't to increase the odds his own children succeed?
Why wouldn't you count a human being held in slavery as an instance of slavery? I'm genuinely confused what you're getting at here.
This is an obviously sarcastic commentary and parody of the apologetics that are often found on HN for what's going on in China
That sounds like a lot of fun. Do you have a good file to start with? Does Google deliver a payload to fingerprint browsers on page they serve ads to?
> Everyone in pretty much every field has a notion that making it to a national stage/level of your work means something more meritorious than just being #1 in your little town, don't they?

To be fair here, national level also implies a much larger target audience and therefore (usually) a larger reader/user pool. So this isn't totally out of the blue.
You can download and build the source code to Word 1.1 for Windows and OS/2. WineVDM can even run it.

Although it predates the inclusion of TrueType it still is a capable word processor for the price of setting up a dos extender (or OS/2) to compile.
My own country is sadly not responding anywhere near to the level the US is.

I rarely wish I was American, but this strong stance against the CCP and it's horrific cruelties is one of those times I stand with America.
Most people do not want any war, even if it is against CCP. However the current administration seems to be pushing for at least a limited skirmish. US airforce planes have been flying 100 miles off the coast of major Chinese cities. It is less reported in US news outlets though.
It's really of no consequence...there are just not that many people who work in tech. If none of them had children, it wouldn't matter.
They used to have a forms method and an interview method. If you were familiar with the IRS system, the forms method was very fast. It would be great for a CPA.

Then they dropped the forms method. Now they look like TurboTax.

I remember that filling out paper forms back in the day - especially before small electronic calculators - was a real pain. Especially when you made a change and had to roll everything up again!
You're right.

We can go buy slaves today in the US. /s

Yes, criminalization of legal acts to recapture the free labor is abhorrent. However, passing the 13th amendment and then fighting a civil war to enforce it at least creates an incredibly strong legal footing for defending people from forced labor.

Criminals paying back their debt to society is a different conversation in terms of the length and harshness of the penality.
Thailand forced FB to restrict access to a group criticizing the monarchy. Should FB comply with governments that want to silence and lie to their people? Should FB push for Western free speech ideals everywhere? I think FB is in a no-win situation. There is no consistent policy that works globally. All the discussion has been narrowly focused on the US, yet most FB users are outside the US. What should the policy be in countries with oppressive governments you don’t like?
> If you look at the trend on "mainstream" OSs, it seems to be going the other way. Google and friends have been working hard to move the networking stack upwards into the userland, because they control the userland and not the kernel.

Any links on what they're doing with this, regardless of intention, I'm curious to see.
Seems like it can be disabled in flags for now, which I just went in and did. That flag is bound to disappear at some point though… might become necessary to wrap browsers in an isolating sandbox or VM just to be sure they can't touch things they're not supposed to.
That’s not how warranties work. There is no such thing as voiding a warranty if you installed 3rd party parts on your car. Manufacture must prove the parts caused the issue. That is codified in law.

My work gave those of us with kids 25% reduced working hours to accommodate. It was really good.
Version 4 got me through the first couple years of college. My freshman year I actually had a steady stream of people coming into my dorm room to use it on my PS/2. Eventually I switched from English to Math and moved on to vi and the various roff markup tools and then LaTeX, but I think what ultimately killed the magic of that generation of WordPerfect was the change in keyboard layouts that moved the function keys from the left side to the top. Before that when combined with Ctrl, Alt, and Shift there were 40 commands available just a pinky reach away, and it came with a cheat sheet card that fit neatly around them.
From a biological standpoint, those individuals are simply culling their own genes from the gene pool and therefore effectively evolutionally selecting for people who want to have children, causing the exact opposite of what they want. Rather ironic.
Ask HN: Are the YouTube recommendations good?
Yet actually being a shill is not? That's quite the lopsided rule set.
It should be a revelation because war is a civilizational concept - it's a form of organized violence, 'organization' being the keyword here.

If you're living in scattered, small tribes, then at most you can get into small tribal scuffles and vendetta ... but war requires planning, organization, support, possibly diplomacy, marshalling of resources - so it's hard to have proper war without the mechanisms in place to support it.

So maybe it's not quite so obvious.
I haven't downvoted you, but from KernelAbstractions.jl docs it's not clear you will be able to write a fast kernel (emphasis on fast) without having as much GPU/CUDA knowledge as what's required to write the same fast kernel in CUDA. I might be wrong, and if so that would be great.

Here's an example: not long ago I needed a fast GPU implementation of numpy.unpackbits. I can do it in Pytorch, but it's slow and it wastes a ton of memory. So, my question is: can I write it in Julia as efficiently as I can do it in CUDA? If yes, will it be easier to do so?

I agree that the vast majority of people are pleasant, positive, and good to work with. I also think not hiring arrogant jerks should be table stakes for any company.

However, if you're not trying to assess a person's soft skills, motivations, and working style, you're leaving a huge part of the hiring decision up to luck. At the end of the day you want to hire someone who is going to do a great job at the company. There's more to that than passing a coding interview.

Often times it's not even about being a "good" person or a "shitty" person. All of that is relative to the role and environment.

For example, I've worked with some engineers who are excellent at their specialization but have no interest in working on areas outside of their domain. This might be a perfect fit for a large organization that is looking for a domain expert but a potentially poor fit for a startup that needs engineers who enjoy doing a bit of everything.

On the flip side, I've seen some engineers who have thrived at smaller companies but then really struggle to navigate the politics necessary to have impact at larger companies. Maybe they're even capable of learning this at some point, but I wouldn't hire a senior engineer who isn't able to give me a solid example of navigating some interpersonal disagreement.

You can't assess for this kind of alignment without digging into a person's background and experiences.

I think inevitably if you're looking for a job you're going to have to talk about some of these key stories at one point or another. I wrote this to help people get the best shot at landing a job that's a good fit for them. Even if you don't end up using these stories at all, I hope they may even be valuable purely as a self-reflection exercise.
Unionization of the tech industry is long overdue.
The main selling point would be if it works on my mobile. Vscode in its current form with plugins doesn't.
I do not agree with this. Even side hustles have been adversely affected by the pandemic. Quite nearly everything in our lives has been. Parents deserve all the concessions that can be afforded, but people without kids should also be afforded the same. Having children is a personal choice in the end, it's a right, but nothing special in anyway. People should not be penalized for not making that choice, just like they should not be rewarded either.
Do you mean actual mechanical pumping or are you confounding the water cycle in this which is what most people would call hydro power?

That's why a foreign policy should be non-interventionist (aka isolationist). In this case Trump's America first or Ron Paul's call to end foreign wars would have helped.

Is Trump the only president since the 90's who hasn't started new wars?
If that number was pre-COVID, then yes. No school system budgeted for healthcare-level precautions. Also, it doesn't seem overly surprising given the cost of living in NYC and how expensive everything else is.

If the median price of a home in NYC is $799K [1] (likely the average is even higher), an average spending of $23K per pupil is not too surprising.

It's horrific, I would never have believed that hackernews applied this kind of stance via their guidelines.

If that's the case, this will be the last time I sign on here, and good riddance too.
You can transact billions of dollars across the globe securely with a minimal transaction fee via Bitcoin. Don't see how that's possible with Star Wars cards. Guess some people prefer government fiat currency with unlimited supply. I'd rather store my wealth in something that was launched more fairly for all and deflationary, even if it is high risk. The future for blockchain tech is bright, a lot has happened during the past bear market and the DeFi giant is looming. https://defipulse.com
It's not necessarily just Dell, they're just the first to use the feature.

It also won't necessarily work in other Dell motherboards, just ones using the same key as the first.

It's strange Dell would blow the fuses by default, though.
