A criminal org doesn’t need end-to-end encryption to be untouchable by the authorities, all it needs is an HTTPS web server with a login page. Those are cheap enough that any organisation with at least one full-time-equivalent person on their payroll can afford to change server every week.

The advantage of e2e is so a central chat server can’t be ordered to leak secrets; I can’t see how an org which doesn’t care about the law in general is going to care about that law in particular.

Oh no, you've gamed the system to maximize your compensation and the long-term success of the company.

Sure setting good metrics is hard, but that doesn't mean you should not set and publish metrics.

What seemed to have happened is that pay was simply increased without strings. There are a bunch of cultural outcomes then across the company when you have this kind of absurdity.

> The 'problem' with Haskell is that, because of its roots in academic research the language will not chase success at any price (read hacks); and tends to eventually find solutions to its problems even if it means not being popular for a long time.

That's the PR line, but only describes about 5% of the problem with haskell.

But haskell's not relatively unpopular because it was late to add things like linear types. It's relatively unpopular because it doesn't care much about user experience.

Consider: it's getting linear types before an efficient string type in `base`. The first goal of this language is not good engineering practices and getting things right. The first goal of this language is "cool type stuff", with good engineering maybe goal 10 or something (is O(n^2) `nub` ever going to be deprecated I wonder?). And that's fine, we need a language for cool type stuff, let's just be honest about it.

Context: I've been Haskelling for 5 years, I've written a fair amount of FOSS in it, and it's my favorite language. I just want to help spread an honest impression of it.
It's utterly bizarre to consider that Ghibli premiered Grave of the Fireflies and My Neighbor Totoro in theaters as a back-to-back double feature. Talk about thematic whiplash...
> But as it was he could have simply apologized and hunkered down

Apologize for what? Exercising his right to political speech? His views represented the views of 52% of the Californian voters, i.e. the majority of voters. He's supposed to apologize for, literally, "agreeing with most people?"

If employees were revolting, perhaps him stepping down was the right choice. But suggesting that he should "apologize" for having political views some employees disagree with is completely unreasonable and indicative of a bullying power play.

Or it would, since he worked with the same people before the wokefest with absolutely zero complaints from anybody. If people didn't decide having ideological purity and expelling wrongthink is more important than having a good independent browser. Well, they have their purity now. Hope they are happy. Their usage may be in the drain and their perspectives bleak, but at least nobody dares to form an unapproved opinion!

Or, somebody adult would explain to them it's actually ok to disagree on some subject, and that't the thing adults do sometimes. Unfortunately, looks like there's no adults in the industry anymore. Or at least not at those quarters.

Notice how you're the one suggesting `diversity requirements' and then proceed by going on a tirade about it. There are many things to be done about diversity and not all of them requires coercion.
It's actually both. Among my own customers, it's way more than half.

If you're a people-pleaser, don't ever do what this article is calling a "soft no." It's proposing this as a compromise between a "hard no" and a yes, but there's no benefit in being compromised here. The more practice you get with your "hard no," the better you'll get at it. Eventually you'll have to pull back because you're finding it too easy to say no. That's when you know you're cured.

A "soft no" given to an assertive person just means "I'm telling you what's keeping me from saying yes, if you solve it, it's a yes." You will get talked into saying "yes" every time you speak to a person with social skills, and your "soft no" will only stand with people who are shy or unassertive, regardless of the merit of the requests. It'll inevitably lead to getting used by the people who have the least consideration for other people's time, and who always push as a general policy.

Just say "no." You don't have to say it quickly; wait to hear the person's case if you need to, but at the point when you mean "no," say "no." If you honestly feel you need to be convinced, or you need solutions to obstructions that are keeping you from agreeing, just say so, but don't confuse that with a "no."

> The list of reasons unionizing drivers would be difficult to impossible is long and obvious, but the outcome would surely be better than some hamfisted state law.

The state could mandate sectoral representation for all the drivers, functionally requiring unionization. That way the nitty gritty details are still just contract negotiations between the union and the gig economy companies, but there isn't too much space for overly broad or stifling regulatory requirements (from the State anyway, between the lawyers on all sides of the issue is a different story).

Beyond high temperature superconductors, p-wave superconductors would be a big deal. The article mentions that one could use them to build Majorana qubits (Microsoft has a significant effort in this direction). The cool thing about Majorana qubits is that they are hypothesized to be orders of magnitude less noisy than the current types of qubits (the quantum state there is a topological property).

Deaths and permanent injury were actually horrifyingly common from what I know of very early film industry. Unionisation, at least of stuntmen, has probably saved a couple of hundred lives, both literally and in avoiding permanent injury.

Simple exhaustion can do it. There was a famous case about a woman who got hit by some kind of railcar being used in production a few years ago. She died. There was a documentary made about it called “who needs sleep”. Conditions can be really really difficult sometimes, because a stars time Immensely valuable, while crew time is cheaper. So a star is ie 10k p hour While keeping crew around awake for 12/16 hours a day to shoot when they’re finished makeup / shooting another scene somewhere else is often more economical to keep the crew awake for too long. You have to finish “the day” since the star is payed per diem, afaik. I don’t work in Hollywood but film and commercials.
A podcast called "It could happen here" from iHeart radio recorded in 2019 predicted this with startling accuracy. To be fair, its not hard to predict where this is all heading.
Until recently voting rights were actually removed permanently in FL for felons. Now voting rights can be restored if people who have wronged others take responsibility for their actions.

One thing for HN readers to note is that the article is intended for people in the Effective Altruism community i.e. people who are going to donate anyway, and are just trying to decide where to direct their donation.

If you're in the majority of the population that doesn't regularly donate to a significant level, then please don't let this article simply turn your internal "should I donate to Wikipedia" switch off and leave everything else as is. Instead, start treating the Wikipedia donation banners as reminders to donate to some charity that you feel is worth giving to. (The EA forums would likely be a good place to research that, as well.)
I use that number because a few years ago when the then-ceo had our compensation structure examined, I learned that my pay was about an 80% discount to market. Meaning that competitive roles elsewhere were paying about 5 times as much.

I'm sure you could get a dozen answers, or look up any of the many many articles on that topic, so I'll instead recommend that anyone who's a fan of Ghibli should read the manga for Nausicaa and Valley of the Wind. It's written and illustrated by Miyazaki, and both more complete than the film version (which heavily truncated the story) and more beautiful--in fact it's one of the most visually stunning manga I've ever read. Find it in print, not digital, as I don't think reading it on a screen does the illustrations justice.
> Rust however, is more correctly viewed as (primarily) a descendant of ML languages, which all possess the properties the articles lists as derived from Haskell.

Why would that be more correct? Would Rust have these features if they were not popularized by Haskell? I don't know the answer, but it seems like discussing which language some feature was taken, when more than one contemporary language has it, is a kind of meaningless pedantry.
The batteries, the supercharger network, the software.

I think you’re reacting to the media presentation. Even though 100s of thousands of people have perfectly fine operation every day, that isn’t going to make the news. The few breakages do.
I was going to complain but my experience with Wikipedia is this is pretty true.
I agree, I would call OCaml, Haskell, and Rust cousins, more or less ... descendants of ML.

Though the original Rust compiler was written in OCaml, so depending on your viewpoint it could also be its child. I'm not sure if Rust lifted any features or syntax from OCaml specifically. I think the "O" in OCaml was not influential ...

----

edit: I found a list of influences, and it does credit Haskell with typeclasses, but SML/OCaml and C++ are credited first:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/influences.html

I always thought of Rust as a mashup of OCaml and C++, but Haskell is in there too.
What does some editors being on the spectrum have to do with anything? OP's point was that if you are going to financially reward anyone for providing you with well-written Wikipedia articles ideally it would be the people who created the articles, and donating money to the WMF doesn't reward these people at all.

I would expect a mandatory one-page waiver, literally printed on paper of a unique color (not white), that people are forced to sign before buying the house.

Too often things like this get buried in a mountain of paperwork, and while they SHOULD read through it all, the average buyer won't take the time. Americans (maybe people in general) are lazy.
>These small molecules were successfully used as anti-viral drugs in human trials, defeating rhinovirus in the clinic.

Because it's still in trials, and not widely available, due to the long process of approving such medicines.

It still seems possible that there will be a drug that can be used to combat rhinovirus, as well as coronavirus someday, possibly sooner rather than later.

Just to be clear. You prefer people lying while apologizing over people who disagree with you?

Do you, at all, consider, at least sometimes, that people that disagree with you might have to say something intelligent about their position? I am not trying to defend homophobism, irrespective of the question of Brendan Eichs action or believes are homophobe, or not. But, I do believe that somebody disagreeing with me, might have something to tell me. I believe even that it is boring to talk to people with whom I agree on everything, although it is comforting and easy. There is value in communicating with people of different believes, standpoints, intellectual fields, religions, or sexual orientation or ... . Therefore, I cannot fathom how people can prefer being lied to.

While the code is not the greatest in places and the tech used is not the latest, it is a fully contained game engine in a fairly easy-to-understand package.

The first phase of Wikidata (the MVP so to speak) was purely as a common repository for interwiki links, not a general knowledge engine/knowledge graph. The latter is a lot more recent.
It's partially correct. The app will still work without internet connectivity if the cert that the app downloaded is still valid. If you close the app and re-open, the app tries to download another cert and would fail without internet connectivity. At that point, you would need to use a backup keycard.
I don't have an N95 to compare to, but I can say this: when I had to go outside during the heavy wildfire smoke in the Seattle area last week (AQI over 200), if I put on an ear loop KN95 before stepping outside I could not smell a difference between outside and inside.

I had an air purifier running indoors which kept my indoor air to around the equivalent of AQI 10 or better most of the time. (I say equivalent because my particulate matter sensor gives ug/m^3 and counts/cm^3, not AQI, so I had to estimate AQI).

If I took the mask off outside, the difference between outside AQI 200+ and indoor AQI 10 was immediately apparent.

For everyone who is not in some job with a high risk of prolonged COVID exposure, I'd recommend going ahead and getting a KN95 even if it uses ear loops and so won't be as protective as an N95. It will still be a lot better than surgical-style masks or most homemade masks.

Use the cheaper surgical-style masks if most other people around you are also wearing masks. That's the case here for 99% of the people I see in the grocery store. But I'm not confident that people will keep that up for as long as the science says we need to--we Americans have a habit of ending things too soon. If mask wearing falls off before it should, I've got my box of KN95s to switch to.
First I'd like to see some good scientific proof that masks are effective against Covid-19 spread. We've dropped the science on that and no one seems interested in clearly proving that they are effective or ineffective. Instead we're railing each other based on our political views.

Experts at NIH CDC and universities have changed their dictates, dropped the ball and finally fallen in line on separate political sides of such issues. I guess Man is, after all, the "political animal" first and foremost.
I left an audio recorder over night at my place before a bought it.

But even that only goes so far-- e.g. it didn't capture that the local high school had suspended night games while lights were being replaced and after they restarted it produced a large amount of noise weekly. Fortunately we're far enough away and the buildings are well constructed enough that it's not an issue. ... but I would have missed it equally for a property closer to the school.

This is a place where I think cities should have wide-scale long-term noise studies and maps. It's an unreasonable cost to expect every buyer to conduct a local noise study, especially since you'd really need to run it for minimum of a week if not a month.
I wonder if some people that undervalue wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation turned 18 after 2000 (under 40 or so).

I remember when my family got an encyclopedia set (you'd buy them for a thousand dollar or so, in pre-90s USD, if you were lucky enough to be able to afford them). You'd get yearly updates (physical books, also) for a fee for changes to entries. Didn't have the cross references, the non-text media, the cross referencing, the convenience of external links to online sources....

It's been a huge boon for global knowledge. They are one of the most valuable human endeavors of my lifetime.

The thing is - money buys health. The poor are always going to have more limited resources, by definition.

The interesting question (to me at least) is how, and how much, do we optimize our redistribution to help less well-off folks?

I think you need to take a whole-system approach here. A dollar spent improving air quality next to this power plant might be a great investment, or it might be way down the list vs. say funding universal healthcare, which would help with other (potentially more serious) health issues too.

QUALYs are a good tool for assessing the impact of a dollar of spend as it pertains to heath outcomes, but they are not the only lens. But until you have unlimited dollars, you need some framework for allocating them (after first deciding how much redistribution should be done in the first place).

In general, I think more choices are better than fewer, so having the choice to in a cheaper but more noisy neighborhood is probably better than being priced out entirely and having to move to rural CA where you can afford rent. (At least, revealed preferences show that most residents think that it’s the preferable option).
> So there's some minimum income that everyone needs (and it's different between people) where they can "forget" about living expenses and still have a relatively stress-free life. I'd wager somewhere around 1.5x - 2x the cost of living.

I take into account volatility of future income in order to be stress free. Hence my goal was to own businesses where my labor wasn’t needed to keep the income flowing in case I get injured.
