I didn't say division of labour should be hereditary.
I said India had division of labour but people were allowed to move up and down as per their skill and abilities. The hard caste boundaries were enforced by British colonial rule.

My other comment quotes shloka from Hindu text clearly saying everyone is born lower class unless they earn their place.

How is that unfair?
I've been told one of the largest religions in the world is the lapsed catholic.
Gosh, I couldn't understand what is going on. I thought some students from India want to have a PR accepted to a popular repo.

Whether KYC/AML laws make sense is totally beside the point. That's like saying because cannabis being illegal makes no sense, therefore it makes sense to sell cannabis publicly in large quantities and not comply with any laws.

Disagree. It is a problem with hype and code being more centralized. Yes, an annoying for many, but to say this ruined anything is probably exaggerated.
sounds like they want to do the "fraud location check ping on your phone" that seems to be happening on many carriers.
>> I'm skeptical of simulations
Yeah, no kidding. Once you see a monte carlo simulation your eyes should roll. This is like all financial predictions that have a bell curve outcome hidden in them. Dice are easy to predict when you roll them many times. Finance is just like dice, just ask the Nobel Prize winners at Long Term Capital Management.
True! This is why I try to design my webview apps in a way that they also run in a standalone chrome tab and connect through web sockets to vscode!

Of all the RSS readers I have used I found this to be the most functional and UI friendly.

The only feature that I would like it per-folder scan tracking (Mark items as read when you scroll past them). It is currently system wide based on the View types (magazine, list, etc.)
Firefox is fast, don't get me wrong, but with usage dropping every month it clearly isn't compelling people to use it like it once did. The demographic of Firefox users is constantly shrinking with no sign of things picking back up again.

You alone are not a spammer. You would need to anticipate the behavior of others. That there are 4 or 5 people on the internet is something that is slowly learned.
Wait what? That ruins the ability of anyone successful to weight their predictions based on confidence (they'll just fully weight everything).

Will be interesting to see how this one plays out. I wonder what effect that will have on the market, it makes it much closer to a democracy than a betting market.

And Ricky (drunk like always) would probably say:
"Morty, gonna tell you something, everybody these days call themselves 'programmers/coders/hackers' all they do is watch a Javascript Course, barely, type some stupid shit like 'Hello World' and they feel like a great scientist Morty, you really understand how stupid is this, Morty?! They share that in all the 'social media' trendy moron stuffy like Twitter, a place even more cancerous than me Morty.
In the end Morty, burrp, I'm actually the Genius who discovered Time Travel and invented the Portal Gun."
I have never played Roller Coaster Tycoon, but Bullfrog's Theme Park (1994) was a massive hit with us kids on the Amiga. That one really defined the genre five years earlier, to be fair.
I live in a post-soviet country and the ~50 years of soviet planned-economy, arbitrary laws and constant shortages combined with an illegitimate regime (as any foreign power that is ruling by force on your turf is by definition) meant that people got a pretty deep ingrained attitude of "gaming the system" even tho there's almost 30 years of self rule. It is slowly fading away and being replaced by the capitalist "growth hacking" which I'm not sure is a lot different.
There is now a new "Sage-like" add on for FF

To some extent this is true, yes.

But legal jurisdictions defer to one another, to the point wherein that is even becoming more formalized, especially for smaller countries [1]. And it's possible that an IP ruling in 'some important place' sets the material precedent anyhow.

If the US or EU rules one way, then others will be influenced by that on some level.

A lot of this could possibly be more clarified by legislation, but I only think the EU and maybe the UK really have the wherewithal or importance to make an impact. Germany possibly but I see them wanting to do that at the EU level. I don't see anything on the horizon for the US.

I would definitely double down on my heretofore down-voted statement: if you care about open source, you really, really want to have 'good, clean cases' pushed through and tested in the courts.

If Open Source proponents leave it to the wind, patent trolls, or big corps - you may see 'bad cases' go through the system and set really bad precedent that hinges on weird corners cases.

Do not underestimate how much of a big deal this is. IP is a discussion at every point along the way when contemplating investing in independent or internal projects and 'ambiguity' is a huge factor in risk aversion.

All of these IP licences are just 'ideas' waiting to be 'more or less law' when they face legal scrutiny, so if I were the 'God of Open Source' I'd be looking to find cases to build a favourable pipeline to the Supreme Court. Major rulings will have a beneficial impact for everyone.

MarketingBird: A tool to port/enagage your Twitter follower base
That is why I still prefer old-style patch submissions via mailing lists - the bar is higher, so it usually weeds out exactly this kind of trash.

Of course, if a company started offering free t-shirts for mailing list submissions and some foolish (but well-meaning) youtuber would publish a tutorial on how to subscribe and post to a mailing list, I have no doubts that there would be a deluge regardless of this higher bar. :)
James Shore: Microservice Architecture Without Microservice Overhead
Same. They have dark theme now too, so that's all I need really.

Not even sure I need them to de-duplicate updated articles, which it doesn't seem to do.
I mean really, I have an incredibly long README. They could spend like 20 mins finding some real improvements and I'd accept that.
Just a guess. Individual variables may be atomic, but that doesn't guarantee that a series of operations over one or several of them is thread safe.

Thus it's likely that a developer using atomics still makes mistakes, and yet they get a false sence of safety.
You have to consider the trajectory. SF is already a dumpster fire, if enough affluent people leave, property prices will tank and you will be paying off a mortgage for a larger sum than what the property is worth.

Meanwhile, all these affluent people have to move somewhere, the properties in these places aren't going to stay cheap forever. So you can get a cheaper mortgage in those places to pay off a property that will rise in value.

Of course, that's all speculation. Prices in the "good places" are already high anyway, if you really want to strike a bargain you have to buy into the places that are still up-and-coming.

UK: it's basically compulsory to pay "national insurance" contributions if you're earning enough. That gives you a (fairly small) state pension: https://www.gov.uk/new-state-pension

On top of that it's strongly encouraged to make private pension contributions, from pre-tax income; I think this corresponds to the US "401k"?

Chances are pretty good that at least one of the vaccines we currently have under development will work decently well. Probably well enough to reduce the risk to be comparable with Influenza. I don't think discussions about a vaccine-free world are particularly productive right now.
Ask HN: A competitor called me pretending to be a potential customer
I just got a call from a competitor pretending to be a customer. I don’t know for a fact if they are a competitor but I’m confident given how much knew about the space from a technical perspective as was increasingly demonstrated as the call went on.

I’m not that worried about it to be honest. I think the fact they are calling is a sign that whoever it is isn’t focussed on their customers but instead copying me. If they want me to set the agenda for their company then fine, but they’ll always be at least one step behind.

I’d like to hear from the HN community if a similar has happened to anyone else and what you did about if anything) / how you felt about it? Should I expect more of this as my company gets bigger? Should / can I put checks and balances in place to prevent it?

Keen to hear your thoughts :)

This is actually awesome. I have seen people with referrers that were obviously capability URLs. I like those since it allows for access without strict user authentication, but there are obvious risks involved, especially with logging and tracking becoming so commonplace.
The average answer/comment is pretty bad in most of the sites you listed. All of those use heavy ordering to work. Unlike say if I ask say kubernetes expert in my company some question, the chances of it being pure bad is very less compared to if I ask in stack overflow. Wikipedia has altogether different politics and incentive that it is not that open for most of the popular articles.

WTF is even that page? You might as well have quoted 4chan. It’s so hilarious, I’m not even offended.

To be honest.. I can see it working as a scam of some sort. As long as the “white man” has money you might as well be of the highest caste right?

Here we’re trying to eliminate caste, but some geniuses want to give a caste to all sorts. You might as well give gold a caste...

Yes, you're absolutely correct.
Because as we all know, markets never go down.

Very little, as it happens. The reason everyone says index funds are great is because the US markets have done well historically. This is not a guarantee.

So what if we could profitably do carbon recapture for $100/ton which was funded by a $100/ton carbon tax and start an entire industry that reverses carbon in the atmosphere, would you still be against consumption then?
That's difficult to say. You could start with getting to to know an issue and specialising in it. Reading books from academic writers (not the stuff sold at airport bookstores). Read Slashdot. Once you've got a grasp, think about how you could translate what you learnt so that your mom would understand it. Think about what your mom likes: quizes, human-interest stories. Lighthearted stuff. Then create your own translation.

It's probably easiest to connect with a local group of people who care about these issues.
I have a question that I can't find the answer written anywhere. Can the data I give to this platform be used for advertisement/feed by fb?
It is good if there are more decisions of the highest court. Legal uncertainty is harmful for open source. And as long as there are points in the GPL without leading decisions, this legal uncertainty will continue and open the door for trolls to blackmail open source users with out-of-court settlements in order to enrich themselves.

Actually it would be so simple: I give you source code, you give me changes back, we're even. [...] If you make hardware that locks down software, it's your decision as a hardware maker; it has no impact on my decision as a software maker to give you the software. [...] To me the important part was always: I give you software, you can do whatever you want with it; if you make improvements, you have to give them back.

I do generally prefer Perl's q and qq, though Python's triple-quote and its raw form are often good enough. Python also inherited C's (mis-)feature of concatenating consecutive string literals automatically, which comes in handy in some cases.

I don't get the ill will point. We're talking about companies that are knowingly and wilfully breaking the terms of the GPL.

They aren't entitled to violate the terms of the GPL. They aren't entitled to sell unauthorised copies of Disney DVDs either, and for the same reasons. Compliance with copyright law, and compliance with the licence terms of software that doesn't belong to you, are not optional.

The cost of housing absolutely impacts local prices across the board for basic reoccurring costs like food, fuel, childcare, taxes, etc. This is different and arguably more of an impact on budgets than one-time costs like a car where you can (and people often do) travel to make the purchase if you are able to save money.
The gate count for addition is at least O(n) though.

You should note the O(log n) delay growth is for a logic (ideal) model. Considering the 2D geometry of real circuits, there are models with more detail, in particular VLSI models. [1]

I suspect due to routing and path lengths even the delay would turn out to be O(n) in VLSI, or at least a power of n (with a small constant).

It's very common among people working remotely through various consultancies for Roche.

During my time there a typical project would have 30-40% of the personell living either in a small town or in the middle of nowhere.
For the record, the correct way of doing the first math, centered such that 0 represents no change to your wages, is as follows:

0.1 * 6 - 0.5 * 0.9 = 0.15.

That is, a 10% chance of a 6 fold gain, and a 90% chance of a 50% loss (-50% gain), gives an expected value of a 15% gain.

Your math is correct also, and has 1 represent no change to your wages instead.
Only count pull requests that are merged. Make this fact obvious on the hacktoberfest website so contributors know spamming PRs will not help them.

I know the standard answer to this is that it would exclude some repos (ex: node) that merge PRs manually via git. However:

1. You already are excluding every open source project not on GitHub, so this is a really weak point.

2. I am extremely confident trading off not including a very small subset of repos for removing the incentive to spam bad PRs is a worthwhile trade.
Is anyone else having very old posts (e.g. published in 2003) float up as just published on top of their TheOldReader "all items" timeline? I subscribe to some blogs that include very old posts in their feeds and it seems like TheOldReader wraps timestamps around at some point.

I wrote to their support about it since it's getting annoying, but I haven't received any reply (I'm using their paid tier). I'm guessing its kind of a rare edge case.

Well, they actually don't have to move, and if they do it may not be to where you predict.

A device designed for 15V has some headroom. Probably 20V. It will fail immediately or it won't. The only potential variable is that your power supply is suddenly spiking to 21V or even more after prolonged use and that's what's destroying the Switch. There aren't many electronics components with a rated lifespan. Electrolytic capacitors are the most prominent ones and are easy to replace.
A lot of people are leaving California anyways, and economies in other states are booming, so jumping on that ship with good compensation, even for the short term, is a win-win for anyone who is looking to get out while the getting is good. I know someone who moved _to_ California from another state a few years ago and got the truck virtually for free because the truck company had so many more people going in the opposite direction. But then they paid very high prices for the truck when they left.

And on top of that, they may have to accept a non-compete clause in their employment contract.

All in all, they have a pretty strong incentive to remain a Stripe employee as long as possible. Stripe probably likes this.
