tech is only 10% of the US economy, and European nations are much more reliant on free-trade. Germany in particular, whose exports constitute almost 47% of their GDP, globally only comparable to South Korea for a developed nation.

I get that Hackernews is dominated by people working in software and software news, but as a part of the real economy (and not the stock market) it's actually not that large and Europe doesn't frame trade policy around it, for good reasons.

The US also doesn't support free-trade for economic reasons, but for political and historical reasons, which is to maintain a rule based alliance across the globe, traditionally to fend off the Soviets. Because they aren't around any more, the US is starting to ditch it. The US has never economically benefited from free-trade, it's one of the most insular nations on the planet. EU-Asia trade with a volume of 1.5 trillion almost doubles EU-American trade, tendency increasing, and that's why Europe is free-trade dependent.

What's difficult about them? I typically use nullable columns and then a check constraint to specify a custom condition for nullability. Columns belonging to the same alternative in the sum type must be all null or all not null. And then there's check only one active alternative.

I ask them to code for something with a measurable outcome. It's something that I've already developed before and I know how long it can take and what are the most common challenges one may face. It gives me the ability to assess how much one can apply their knowledge rather than just testing how much they know.

We're probably already halfway there with modern apps, if you consider that any program with hardware-accelerated graphics is already performing rendering as a stateless operation in a separate thread pool running on an entirely different processor.
Even if we accept the idea that CA was decisive to Trump's victory (I don't think it was, not even close), I think that you are absolutely on point here. I do think democrats were caught by surprise in 2016 and, instead of blaming themselves for their debacle, they sourced it elsewhere.
Awesome! I'd really suggest Martin Korth's fantastic documentation in that case. In a lot of ways it was better than even the official docs given to developers.

Presumably that's 5ppm under terrestrial conditions, Venus at 40km has substantially higher pressure, more than is explained by the higher temperature alone, so any given ppm is a greater number of molecules per cm³, right?

Why would I need to know the Z-order of overlapping windows? None of the windows I'm actively working with overlap (it would be too annoying to have them constantly blocking each other), and all the rest just have "background" status. I don't care how far they are into the background, so drop shadow is useless visual clutter.

I wouldn't discount the amount of people using voice assist and rely on noise reduction/echo cancellation in their meetings, or the near future where we have SMPTE 2098 renderers running on HTPCs.

I really think we're only a few years away from seeing a lot more realtime DSP in consumer applications. Conferencing, gaming, and content consumption all benefit immensely, and it would good for us all to start thinking about the latency penalty on audio-centric HCI like we do for video.

I believe it calms me down a bit. I'm often quite incensed about things. Trying to think the opposite allows me to see things from another, or somebody else's viewpoint.

Also, I might get incensed by just the fact that I have to wait for traffic-lights to change! So having a mental task to perform at that time seems to help. It feels more like an opportunity then than obstacle.

I don't do it much these days but now that I read about Eno's oblique strategies maybe I'll give this some more attention :-)

I'm not sure if Linus was talking about the Wayland stuff specifically; the answer was in response to a complaint that the nvidia/Intel graphics card switching didn't work on Linux.

I haven't used nvidia products for about 10 years and I'
m not really in to gaming or graphics, so I don't really have an opinion on them either way, either business or technical. I used their FreeBSD drivers back in the day and was pretty happy it allowed me to play Unreal Tournament on my FreeBSD machine :-)

Linus is not always right, but a lot of what he says is often considerably more nuanced and balanced than his "worst-of" highlight reel suggests. There are plenty of examples of that in the presentation/Q&A he did from which this excerpt comes, for example (but of course, most people only see the "fuck you" part).

So if Linus – the person responsible for writing operating systems with their hardware – says they're the "worst company we deal with" then this strikes me as a good reason to at least do your research if you plan to buy hardware from them, if you intend to use it with Linux anyway. I'll take your word for it that they're doing great stuff, but if it outright refuses to work on my Linux box then that's kinda useless to me.

This was also 6 or 7 years ago I think, so perhaps things are better now too.

As a personal anecdote in California, somebody I managed got 1 month of fake employment (technically employed but without access to anything) + 2 month severance after being fired after 8 months on the job without any push from me or fired employee. And he was extremely nice and non-confrontational, just could not do the job.
No, the questions you're raising have been asked (reasonably) by many. I really do think the EA folks are doing something novel, and there is a reasonable but incorrect intuition that all of this must have been sorted out before (so that if they're getting unconventional answers they must have made a mistake in their assumptions or process).

Step 1 in finding the highest impact thing to do is being serious about establishing cause and effect, and historians by their own admission rarely try to do that. (Cliometrics is a bit better.)
> Normal rules don’t apply when you’re a criminal so spoofing SSL cert names is something you might as well do too

SAN dnsNames in certificates in the Web PKI are verified by the issuer - these days using one of the Ten Blessed Methods. It would certainly be possible to obtain certificates for a name you don't actually own, but it's a bit beyond the usual casual crooks that run scams like this. We see what appear to be nation state adversaries doing it, as part of wider targetted hijack schemes (e.g. to intercept IMAP credentials for a foreign government agency) but it's definitely not something you see an ad scammer doing.

Any vaguely competent modern browser checks the certificate is trusted in the Web PKI and that it matches the SAN dnsNames to the FQDN in the URL exactly so there's no room for any funny business there.

And human readable names in end entity certificates are largely irrelevant. Nobody looks at them, who cares?

I'm a UI developer, never used Org-Mode, not a VIM or Emacs user. But I am very interested in document creation, note taking, organizing workflows. Please forgive the lack of background in this question but...

Can someone explain to me why if org-mode is so popular it is not used in places other than emacs or why is it bound to emacs? Is there some ux quality or set of features that are bound up in the unique key-bindings of Emacs or the scripting integration for example? Could any of this goodness make it's way to more accessible (for your average user) venues such as a basic GUI note taking app?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that political scientists that spend their entire working life studying political science and teaching students the most important questions in political science (including ones which aren't their specialism!), might have put more thought into which political science questions have impact and which aren't studied enough than was required to pick three questions from Allan Defoe's paper on AI, once from a CNAS paper on AI and one from a list already on their website, before moving onto the next field in the alphabet. The list covers 19 academic disciplines and a third of their sources are papers mainly about AI!

To be fair to the authors, they openly state right at the beginning of the article that the scope of the questions they're listing is based entirely on questions being asked within their community. I'm not saying the questions aren't worth answering, but a community with less overlap with LessWrong's 'politics is the mind killer' singularity-believers would perhaps choose a set of 'important questions in politics' somewhat less narrowly focused on AI. And this community overlap clearly has more of an impact on the authors' conclusion that the most impactful questions in politics nearly all concern AI than pure philosophical commitment to maximising the utilitarian value of their time.
> it's clown-tier identity verification

I remember learning this when I got my first code signing certificate. I had to jump through a TON of hoops including sending notarized copies of my ID to Comodo. After all that, they asked ME to send them a list of notaries for my jurisdiction. They also wanted a direct line to call the notary I used which is basically impossible to provide.

The verification is outsourced to the cheapest English speaking 3rd world country they can find and there's ZERO localized knowledge. I don't think you could build a system that's worse if you tried. The whole think is just a process of checking boxes which is very similar to most of the 2FA systems in existence.

2. I'd have to wait for my wife to die, because there's no way she will ever allow me to keep something like that in the library. I'm barely allowed to keep my Atari 2600 in the living room.

There is an idea of beginner's luck - that when one starts doing something one resonates with on a deep level, one tends to have unexpected success because the potential to be great at it is seeking to escape and wants to signal to the conscious mind that it exists. But the same set of attitudes also believes that as one continues on the same path, the challenges it brings will rapidly grow to match one's burgeoning capabilities.

So I would guess the people who say that worthwhile things take a long time, did often have experiences of grace like you, where things were easy. But I would guess they also found that anything worth doing is worth challenging oneself with.

Only because of EU. Intra-EU trade is more comparable to trade between US states then true international trade.
The US has had a lot of history and practice with forced sterilizations over the centuries. This is nothing "new". It's despicable. It has nothing to do with what party it is. The Democrats and Republicans have both participated and signed off on these.

This is a problem with the state in general, and with unchecked and unmonitored authority. This is why people say ACAB. It's the unchecked authority you give someone (e.g. a cop, border agent, DA, Judges, etc) that create issues like this. It's a matter of removing and reducing authority as much as possible in these systems.

Until we realize that authority is the cause, we are not going to find a proper fix. Everything else is a reactionary bandaid on a systemic issue.

How to scrape websites without knowing how to scrape
Truthfully, I feel kind of the same way. There are parts of my .emacs.d/init.el that go back 25 years, so I'm not saying this from the position of "I tried it last week and it wasn't like my other editors so I don't like it."

One of the things I love about VSCode, and that made me seriously evaluate it in the first place, is how easy it is to configure per-project settings like "use this virtualenv when editing these files". In VSCode, that looks like having one window per project and this works great. When I'm in the middle of working on one thing, I can quickly open a second window, hack on something, close that window, and get back to what I was doing. Since Emacs has one flat memory space, that's not nearly so easy.

I love Emacs and would go back to using it in a heartbeat if it were half so easy to set up and maintain a working Python development environment with all the bells and whistles, but so far I haven't found that to be the case.
> Maybe part of the problem is that due to so many regulations, there's not a healthy startup ecosystem

Reaganomics talking point since the 80s, yet the U.S. constantly relaxes regulations, recently it released even more environmental ones and it looks in parts like Mars.

But of course, cut regulations, cut corporate taxes, cut benefits, cut, cut, cut. There's never a failure model for such capitalism apparently. 2008 even was blamed on regulation, rather than lack of thereof.

Am quite frankly done with this line of argument.
Of course it wasn't as IE Dev toolbar was so much worse than Firebug.

'Personal responsibility' is often used to inhibit the formation of a consensus for collective action.

Yeah this entire statement was also incredibly ageist and painting with broad strokes. If your litmus test for good programmer is "number of languages known" you aren't a good programmer. I'm 25, I've been programming for 15 years now and professionally I have more than half a decade of experience and professionally have a senior title. If you want to play that game most older programmers absolutely do not keep up with me and I've worked with a few that should have absolutely clocked out a while ago.

IBM is also a joke, just like Oracle.

Edit: Now that the vein has stopped bulging on my forehead, I agree with your point that experience is valuable. However it comes in many packages and dismissing someone because they're 50 or 25 is equally wrong and you just did the same thing you're ranting at IBM about.

Presentation sounds really vague to me, it could mean anything from 1-2 hours of prep or a day or two of intense preparation to make a good presentation.

Also number 1 (writing simple API matching a spec) - this doesn't require prep if it's using language that I am using currently / have been using in my daily job for a long time.

But I have found often been required to write code in languages that are on my CV but I haven't used them in 5+ years.

Also talking about past failures, career history. I can barely remember in detail 2-3 years so I would need to spend a little time to just be prepared about a random very specific question about a project I worked on 5 years ago that might come up during interview because it would silly if I didn't remember (which I wouldn't if you ask me randomly about something I did 5 years ago).

Small things like these add up, obviously the more you want to get a certain job the more time you would spend preparing, it's only natural. If you are only looking around you might just wing it since you don't care much.

I am not criticising your system, it seems pretty sensible actually btw.
They were able to raise money from investors selling themselves as a tech company. Now that they have the money, they dont need the engineers anymore which explains the layoffs and downsizing.

The heat produced in a traditional data center is already unwanted and wasted and takes a ton of electricity and machinery to get rid of. Given that processors like to operate around 50 C, that's not a lot of heat to preserve and transport and do something useful with.
