I bet a whole lot of Americans are the same way. They just pronounce it correctly out of inertia, and not some elementary understanding of Italian.

You mean countries like Greece which destroyed their local industries, and eco systems, in favor of tourism and can't go back ?
People have been warning about these things for decades. If you build your entire economy on a flimsy and unsustainable business model you'll lose at some point.

It doesn't really matter if it feeds millions or not, the unsustainability will make it crash sooner or later, the longer you let it go the harder it'll be.

Yes you caught me! After accumulating nearly 48k in Karma I finally sprung my marketing trap on the unsuspecting HN crowd with this post of mine!

Return of the "boom box".
>I have to wonder how HN would have reacted if Zuckerberg had written that blog post telling his employees to shut up and code.

The people who want to drag politics into everyone's work-life would have hated it, and the people who want coworkers to shut up and code would have loved it, I reckon.

I don't envy people working in these environments...
The notion stuff. The entire post is about using his product to quickly create a website that capitalizes on timing.

2. Who contacted whom? What are some details of the acquisition process and negotiations?

3. What does this mean at a practical sense for existing Gitter users?

4. What's going to happen in the next 6, 12, and 18 months?

Because running a business is a way we participate in society, and society is run by politics, so being "apolitical" as a company feels like a willful ignoring of the social consequences of your business practices.

You cannot separate the business practices of a financial institution from politics. It simply isn't possible. To attempt to do so is a political statement in an of itself, and quite frankly, it isn't a good one.
What would you say if these grassroots movement talked webshots into taking down all BLM sites for promoting an officially recognized terrorist organization? Would you still be in favor of workplace politics?

Don't know why you were downvoted, it's common knowledge that state actors can break Apple's encryption. Apple makes a huge show of refusing to break their own encryption but with a subpoena they legally have to provide the encrypted data and then state actors just go elsewhere for cracking.

Re-read what I wrote. As long as your capital grows faster than your debt servicing requirements you can just keep borrowing against your capital.
All these arguments just feel like people wanting the benefits of owning a company without doing the work or taking the risk.

When you accept employment at a company, you do so on their terms -- including whether political activism on the job is permitted.

If you want to set the terms of employment, start or buy a company. Or, I guess, get laws passed that outlaw companies from having a policy you disagree with.

Whether being apolitical is itself political or not is a circular argument -- for some it is, for some it isn't. And that difference is itself a difference of political opinion of the same kind as the others.

Those security rules tools look excellent. I had no idea that security rules could restrict the data shape. Our app only has basic read permissions configured (and we're not bothering updating them because we're moving all the data our of firebase anyway).

> I have used hasura. It's good but I like supabase more now. Easier to directly write SQL than indirection of graphql.

Supabase looks really nice. I'd definitely consider it for new projects. The nice thing about Hasura is you have full access to the underlying Postgres DB. We are actually writing SQL for most of our data fetching needs with a traditional express backend. We're only going through Hasura when we need realtime capabilities. But it's pretty nice to be a bolt it on and get subscriptions out of the box :)
> Make more companies Public Benefit Corporations. Make Profit not the only written, legal goal.

I’d like to make your bank account a “public interest bank account”. Rather than you spending money for yourself and family, it will be your stated legal goal to give that money to other people and causes.
Because there is nothing that a low-skill teenager can't do that a low-skill breadwinner can. That's the point. We need to lift the floor so that even low-skill people can support themselves and their families. Otherwise people with supports having their living subsidized will outcompete people without those supports. Just look at the controversy about having to be well-born to be able to afford zero-income internships that are the gateway into some industries.

If UBI advocates believe their country should give, e.g. hundreds of dollars a month to the over 1 billion people in Africa in the name of being truly universal, please do explicitly state that every time the proposal is made. It'll save a lot of time for us all because such a delusional idea will kill the idea dead even quicker. Obviously it has to be limited to citizens because those are the people paying for it via taxes.
Define "extreme left." Do you mean stalinism or maoism? Are these companies in favor of exterminating the aristocracy through lethal force? Do you mean marxism? Are these companies that are in favor of peacefully gifting their workers with the means of production, and equalizing pay for all employees? Show me these leftist corporations.

Or are you referring to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and subsequent Supreme Court rulings as the "extreme left"?

Or do you mean it in the Fox News sense, where any disagreement with the president is "extreme left"?
What does “Git pull –rebase” do?
Be smart and creative, think different, and most importantly actually try stuff. Have a product in the world that people can pay you for. Don’t expect anything to happen but do it anyway. Whatever idea sets off a feeling of fear and excitement, do that idea. Don’t wait for a safe bet because there are none. If you are embarrassed to describe your idea because it doesn’t make sense to people, that’s also a good sign.
tl;dr: the bottom line is -

[P]andemics ... create a surprising dynamic when it comes to self-interest and altruism: pandemics are rare cases where a country’s instinct to help itself is tightly aligned with its instinct to help others. The self-interested thing and the altruistic thing – making sure poor nations have access to vaccines – are one and the same.
No they did not do that at all.
> How can they truly be neutral on all of these issues that are directly relevant to the business they do?

Coinbase didn't say they would be neutral about all issues, just issues that aren't related to their business. Obviously if the government wants to ban cryptocurrency, they're going to lobby against it.

> Makes one feels a bit helpless, doesn't it?

Not so much.

It makes me feel like just putting the right economic incentives in place, will rapidly lead to savings no one imagined possible before.

As you point out, motivating individuals to reduce their carbon footprint is incredibly inefficient, as it is very difficult for individuals to make much difference if the goods and services they consume are not also optimized to become more carbon efficient.

But if 770000 liters of kerosene can be saved by making the inflight magazine lighter, can you imagine what other low hanging fruit are out there, if incentivized by the right kind of carbon taxes and other incentives? Businesses can very rapidly adapt and make changes with outsize impact like this, far more than individuals can.
It can happen and happens to influencers all the time. I'm glad it worked out for everyone involved. OP's prior work is not why it worked out.
If I've read it correctly the Seattle policy applies only to drivers while they are driving (presumably including on their way to pick someone up), so this shouldn't limit the amount of Ubers waiting for drivers, though it may limit the number of rides that drivers get because it will reduce the amount of rides demanded as a result of the increased price. I do wonder if this could paradoxically decrease the efficiency of the service if there is less coverage from drivers (if drivers drop off the service from getting fewer rides) and thereby increase the distance needed for a driver to pick up a passenger, on average.
Your words remind me Apple.
They're not keys, they are requirements. And soft requirements, on top of that.

But luck is a huge component in getting wealthy. Plenty of people with equal skills, equal expertise, and equal hard work never succeed because they don't get the magical conjunction of right time at the right place.
Did you read the Coinbase blog post? The conversation has really devolved away from the original topic. Coinbase issued a statement saying they are focused on their mission as a for-profit company. You're spinning it into something its not.

"I don’t think companies can succeed trying to do everything. Creating an open financial system for the world is already a hugely ambitious mission, and we could easily spend the next decade or two trying to move the needle on global economic freedom."

What exactly do you disagree with about their statement? What are you proposing that Coinbase do differently? Should they collectively vote to align the company with a political party?

It's a business not an activist group.
That's a rookie mistake. After being wrong enough times, most people will catch on that the chances of a compiler bug are near enough to zero to not worry about. The last actual compiler bug I can remember was probably 30 years ago.
I don't understand why people are so keen on these "serverless" architectures. Why not just run a backend web server. It's generally the least troublesome part of the system, and it buys you a bootload of flexibility.
To reiterate my original point, Proud Boys claim to not be for white supremacy.

It's of course possible they still are. But it makes this whole discourse pretty weird.
I don't think "everything" is meant to be taken so /literally/.

It is your personal opinion on privacy that led to the founding of the company. It is most likely your employees' personal opinions that made them choose to work at your company vs Google or FB's ad divisions.

But let's discuss a more relevant political topic. Your name, manigandham, implies you are of Asian origin. The /political/ immigration laws determine your/parents' existence in the USA. If the company you/they worked for was serving/assisting organisations that would invalidate your legal residence, would you not be concerned? Or would you help the project succeed & accept your fate once ICE came knocking?
I think what they’re suggesting is an employee who focuses more attention on work at work will outperform the employee who doesn’t. It doesn’t matter what the subject is.

Some synthetic benchmarks are so simple that they almost reduce to a measure of CPU clock speed and instruction parallelism. Find a benchmark that uses a unique instruction combination on one CPU and it will heavily disadvantage the other CPU.

Add a real world workload to the mix with heavy memory access and mixed compute workloads and the chips will diverge significantly in performance.

I work with some cross-platform code that has to run on mobile devices and desktop platforms. The advances Apple has made in low power performance are incredible, but the idea that their iPhone chips are as fast as desktop computers is still far from the truth unless you’re measuring specific, heavily optimized workloads.

I’m still excited to see what Apple can do with a full desktop level power budget though.

I believe you should ban 'because I say so' as an answer. I dont know if it is good or harmful, but I generally say if I dont know an answer and if I know it is a question the answer nobody in the world knows, I will say this as well.
a neat app for sure, but some clarity on data privacy of entered information would make users a lot more comfortable in what they put into the app, so far I'm loving it, surprisingly fast to get up to speed on the app, and simple to use and move things around, I dragged and dropped a few things on my mac after creating them on my iPhone. would be nice to be able to change the login ID too, some strange warning about changing to an apple ID put me right off moving from my initial test login. It will do mind you.
The only time I ever experienced a legit compiler bug was back in the heady days of Adobe Flex, where compilation would fail for no reason. After probably 2 days, I decided to just start making random changes. I added a bunch of white space to one of the many files and it started working again. Removed the white space - wouldn't compile. Re-added it, it compiled.

This begs several questions:

1. If they're worried about gaseous emissions from cattle, isn't this worse?

2. What will authorities do to keep their numbers in check? Hunting? State-sponsored culling? Will they be suggesting people eat them?

3. Who will control their ranges? If so, how? What happens should you wake in the night to find your garden being decimated by mammoths? Or they trample your car? People do live in the areas they are suggesting inserting these creatures.

4. Will they occasionally have to shoot them with tranquilizer darts to check up on their DNA progression from generation to generation? In other words, track them like they do other species like wolves or polar bears?

5. What happens if they migrate from one sovereign nation to another? Will that nation be welcoming to creatures that I'm sure eat massive amounts of flora.
My wife was recently traveling in Europe, and wanted to return early. She asked me to handle calling the airline to reschedule the return flight. It was exactly as you describe.

Luckily I was talking to a very helpful airline employee, and (I guess?) because it was the airline trying to book the tickets (with themselves and other airlines for other legs of the trip), I wasn't charged for each booked-but-ultimately-fictitious flight.

But even the airline employee seemed mystified. What would happen is she'd find and reserve the flights in her system, read me the whole itinerary, then get to the last step and say, "oh that's weird, <other airline> isn't accepting adding you to this flight." This happened three times, with different flights / different partner airlines.

In the end the only thing which worked was to book an identical itinerary, same day of the week and times, just one week early - implying that the only "real" flight out only runs once a week.
Agreed, but some people just hate the phone. I'm looking for a modern looking form / way to collect this info in a trustworthy way.
There have been around 2010, Samygo and OpenLGtv have been mentioned elsewhere. But they are all bitrotten now, and not applicable to current models anyways.
An "open data store" as a standardized service could be interesting... a good chunk of backends are just "add this item", "get all items since X", etc.

If there was a service that gave you an endpoint that you could distribute to other services to do just that (one endpoint per service, keep things isolated), or alternatively host your own and give that endpoint to services... it'd be cool. The tricky part is getting other companies to agree to use your common API.

Life in a War-Torn 2020
We have all suffered through the trials of the most challenging time of our generation. Our parents had Vietnam, our grandparents had the War, and we have the Plague. Many of us lived through some of those things as well and still look upon the fiery hell that is 2020 as the worst time to be alive. Each of our stories, our journey’s through this year have been unique but together. We struggled as families, as a nation, as a people to understand how best to navigate the physical, mental and emotional struggle that was OUR 2020. This is a plea for your story. What is the moment that you can share with me about your life this year. Maybe it is a summary of the nonstop shit that keeps shoveling over our heads. Maybe it is an anecdote about the day it all became real for you. Maybe it is about the monotony of the days blurring together. Maybe it is about the loss. The loved ones who you could not properly say goodbye to as plague protocols kept you away in their final hours. Maybe it is about birth. The new habits, the new relationships and friendships, the new children that came into your life to help you build the resilience you needed to overcome. In my hopes to chronicle this moment in time for humanity going forward I ask you to please share with me your story.

And in advance of the most generous gift of your time and your words, from the bottom of my heart, I see you and I thank you.

Please send anything you would be willing to share to writingsof2020@gmail.com
You are right, but what about having a nicer output list?
What about having metadata associated to files such as author, status and especially tags?

Also, what about being cross-platform and able to run on Windows?

I've thought about this as well. It would cost more, but I could get a really small house at the edge of a city, set up a Ubiquity tower, maybe licensed, and have my own radio link. I managed these links in the military and bad weather aside, they were decent. I too would be ok with 40/15 myself, but family members need more. I might catch some flak for putting up a small tower. I would like to avoid the commercial wireless solutions so that I could have more control over jitter/latency.
If that's true it's so messed up.
No, I just stare at my plate and eat everything that is on it really quickly. Not a great habit, but that's what I do.
