Now Gamers Nexus is my #1 review site despite the name. Anyway most important thing is check a similar workload benchmark for your use rather than Cinebench(if you're not CG renderer).
Flu shots are covered by insurance without a copay or coinsurance in the US, but there are about 30 million people who do not have health insurance.

> each time the excuse was "ha ha sorry things are such a mess, that's just how things are when you work at a start up!" First of all, "haha we're a startup" is not a valid excuse for being late to meetings and ignoring communication.

Pretending to act like a startup has become a cover for being sloppy at big companies. People want to pick and choose what it means to work like a startup, and usually they choose the aspects that give them flimsy excuses for bad behavior.

In reality, my experience with actual small startups has been that people are better at arriving to meetings on time and following through with commitments because small teams mean everyone knows each other. If you don't show up to the meeting, we can see you across the small office and hold you accountable.

It's the big companies where accountability starts to disintegrate. People know they can get away with dropping balls all over the place as long as they get their OKRs finished for quarterly review. Things start to slip through the cracks because that person you're dealing with is just another e-mail address, not your close coworker who sits on the other side of the room.
I would argue that the most significant way in which Tesla have the lead is simple but a bit unintuitive. It's that their customers pay for the cars.

Think about how much capital will be required to put a million Waymo vehicles on the road. How many zeros are there on that number? Who is going to be paying that bill?

Given this, even if Waymo are first to driving 100% perfectly, I expect that Tesla will eventually leapfrog them.
What Roger Penrose and Stephen Hawking Proved
"Basically American unions suck which is why American workers in well compensated industries don't want them."

A EU unionized tech worker here who has union negotiated minimum salery and benefits and am fully able to negotiate for more (which I do each year). And I am not far from the 6 figure mark (in $).

So there is nothing saying that unions will mess with your bottom line.

Just don't create unions that suck.
> Many professionals, including developers, don't need such CPUs too

While I agree that many people don't need mass multi-threading, I don't count developers among those.

Compilation and transpiration are computationally intensive, and usually take advantage of multi-threading. Developers often also run multiple virtual machines and containers, for example to run a database, message bus or blob store.

As a developer, I'll take all the compute capacity I can get, thank you very much!
FBI busts militia 'plot' to abduct Michigan Governor
There are two somewhat separate issues, I think.

(1) The practical reality that a lot of people will have a suboptimal experience until we (both "we Stripe" and "we the industry") figure out more scalable ways to assess people. We'll do the best we can to identify promising people but a lot of people will get something somewhat functionally equivalent to a form rejection. You could argue that this is merely a prioritization decision -- we could keep hiring recruiters until everyone could be individually assessed -- but doing so would require a recruiting team of comparable magnitude to the rest of the Stripe organization and so the current state is an unfortunate compromise given the current constraints and given the decision to have an open application form (which is, I think, on net better for everyone).

(2) Cases where people at Stripe mishandled the process. I know for a fact that some of the anecdotes shared in the thread are from many years ago, and I know that our process has improved since then (we have empirical data to this effect), but we're also acutely aware that we continue to make mistakes -- recruiting is a high-stakes and complex process with a lot of fallible moving parts. For whatever it's worth, we issue CSAT surveys to every candidate who interviews (about 6,000 onsite interviews in 2019), and track the results both at the aggregate Stripe level and at the individual recruiter level. And I get why some people here sound so annoyed -- what might be "another entry in a database" to a recruiter or hiring manager is "the future of my career" to someone on the other side. While it's always hard to know what to make of a set of anecdotes, and while our referral rate among Stripe employees is very high today, I'm nonetheless bothered by the number of cases shared here, and we're going to be digging in. (Specific anecdotes with more concrete dates or data are welcome at patrick@stripe.com.)
> problems like demand vs availability and wait times (two of the criticisms lashed out at taxis, in comparison to Uber).

These were never my problems with taxi service.

Tracking is the thing that makes the rideshare services better--and taxis could apply that, if they wanted to.

Tracking solves most bad things about taxis. "Is it actually coming? How long until it gets here? Did they hit something unexpected? etc."
Explaining the Wall/Main Street disconnect
In the interest of accuracy, I also just realized I used Neosporin yesterday for the first time in years, which I was supposed to avoid because neomycin is known to cause/worsen tinnitus. So the reason my tinnitus just got worse is very likely was the topical neomycin (or perhaps a combination of the neomycin with the procedure).

Either way, I'm seriously bummed out. It had gotten so much better. Hopefully it gets better again.
This sounds a bit underwhelming but I think web apps (in the system browser), Electron and Cordova are as far as we'll get in that direction. (If you exclude projects that are technically more "elegant" but never used in the wild.)
So your proposition is that instead of downloading a client bundle that knows all of these actions, my server:

* renders a Table for me

* my thin client injects that into the page

* my onClick handlers for the Table are going to do what? Make an API call to the server so it can render the focused Graph section of the page now? Or is it supposed to hook gracefully into some client state that is a part of the aforementioned thin client?

Either way it sounds like instead of having one async stage at application load (which can be optimized with multiple techniques), you are proposing that each user action has to wait for a server to receive the request, render HTML, return it to the client, and either refresh the page or inject the server-rendered HTML.

I fail to see why this is better than an SPA. Especially given that there's context menus and workflow actions everywhere.
And those seconds will be dominated by the tens of minutes I spend in other apps per day. And Android and iOS already monitor which apps you use. The calculation of ratios could easily be done locally.
The reason we have copyright protections to begin with is to reward and incentivize creation of new creative works with intellectual property protections. If you spent a large amount of resources in creating the library of Java code, why should only the implementation be protected? They've spent a lot of resources to come up with which methods to create, what to call them, how to describe them, how to organize them, how to connect them with one another, etc. That is a creative effort. They then invested in making the platform popular. If this wasn't protected, you would have zero incentive to build high quality libraries or to invest in making the platform popular if someone else can just come along and copy it.

I don't see how this type of creative expression is any more or less worthy of protection than any other code.

There are some other silly things mentioned in the proceedings. One is about monopolies, clearly that's wrong because there are multiple platforms and Apple and Microsoft clearly didn't need to copy these Java libraries. The QWERTY keyboard analogy is also not a good one since there's a clear difference between something that is written and consists of tens of thousands of pieces vs. a relatively simple organization of characters that's also not written (it's physical). So that would probably go under a design patent. Another is about transformative use. There were cell phones using these Java libraries before Google decided to use them as well -- the Jasper S20 using the SavaJe OS for instance. Also the doom and gloom that the industry will break is absurdly doomsday. Simple libraries or SSO wouldn't constitute the level complexity and creativity of Oracle's Java libraries.

Google could have invested in creating its own libraries and only using the 57 or so classes that make up the Java language, made its own methods, classes, and packages. But that would have been a large effort to design them, get them battle tested, and to attract a developer community around it. It was easier to cheat to get ahead and ride the coattails of Oracle's community that were familiar with the Java libraries they had created. Google knew what they were doing was wrong at the time, but the cost to get to market meant it was worth it. Google didn't stop there, they continued to copy the changes that Oracle did to its libraries and copied new packages that Oracle created.

Finally, Google had the option to take the community license, but they didn't want to contribute back. I say, hard cheese Google, pay up.
The issue is many things, but what I listed is appropriate. All of the women in my class with my GPA got more money than I did, and all of the minorities (as few as they were) did as well.

Two instances stand out to me: Someone 1/64th or less Native American getting scholarships for that, and a girl who just by accident ran into (literally) the rowing coach and was offered a scholarship on the spot.
Yup, “available to general public” or “generally available” in product terms usually mean anyone can go sign up for it.
What if you're interfacing with an audio output library and synthesis library that works with &[f32] and not a dimensioned type?
Lets Say that that Oracle wins. Does that mean that all 100+ companies who have copywrites on their software which all include "Helper.GetGUID" or "Calendar.NewMeeting" are going to sue each other to find out who the 1 true owner of the "Helper.GetGUID" API call is?
This doesn't bother me at all.

It's the person who invented Read Receipts that really needs to apologize.
? no

The parent was talking about c++ compilation.

A c++ compiler is very different from a game engine written in c++.
This is the main reason, and the site's aren't pulling enough money to get copy writers
The issue was never about people expressing their political opinions, but their demands that _Coinbase_ express political opinions and get mired in what police in SF may or may not be doing.
> My concern is that it's only used by a narrow range of products

Yeah, the range of products is indeed narrow. But narrow in this case is 1.35 billion iOS devices (not even factoring MacOS).

> What are your thoughts?

iOS isn't going anywhere in the near future. You can have a long and happy career as an iOS dev. Build a few apps, apply for a job, give it a go. If it fails or your hate it, jump to something else.
I work in analytics so have a wide range of customers - it's definitely up and down depending on the industry and I'd argue it's net down, but not if you are experienced / have a specialization.

Ecommerce is booming, but you're not likely to get a job in support/services which is likely already filled with experienced folks at most companies, and isn't likely to churn in a pandemic.

There are a lot of pockets like this, but they mostly benefit software engineers and more experienced roles. It's pretty common on HN for folks to assume that everyone has the role/job fluidity as your average tech person, or worse, your average software engineer.

Lots of folks "in tech" aren't really deeply into tech, so it's even more difficult for them to navigate a chaotic time.
Schwartz's beliefs and statements don't apply. Schwartz didn't write the controlling law.
20% faster CPU isn't going to solve your problem.
You should look into caching and distributed compilation.

Trump is a bad messenger, but no, it has nothing to do with whitewashing. You should look into how insane “critical race theory” and garbage like the 1619 project are trying to rewrite history. It’s absolutely indoctrination for a very specific agenda that most reasonable people would never agree with.

Nobody opposes teaching an accurate reading of history, good and bad. They do oppose someone telling white people, and only white people, that they are inherently racist and bear responsibility for atrocities of the past to which they had no connection. They also oppose separating the white people and telling them that they are not allowed to speak because they are racist, and if they deny being racist, that is more evidence of their racism. This is the garbage that Robin DiAngelo spews in the inexplicably popular “White Fragility” book upon which much of the CRT training is based.
I've been meaning to try making a headless ed, that pushes commands out to the shell. It's like 30th down my list of "I should try this" at this point, though.
> You probably mean GNU ST

I mean that "deploy all development tools used to develop the software" seems to be a separable from "Bootstrapping a virtual image from source code in ST80 is very difficult or nearly impossible".

bootstrapped image + libs + gui + tools + app ==> development environment

bootstrapped image + libs + gui + app ==> gui deployment

bootstrapped image + libs + app ==> headless deployment

> smalltalk is not just a language, but a whole environment

I mean could the fellow have his "whole environment" for development - and - have his no-gui no-ide boostrapped image + libs + app for deployment.
> But Medicare 4 All, where many Democrats appear to want to go in the long term--though they disagree about how quickly they want to get there

Democrats generally agree that there should be universal access to health care, and a mostly agree that that should involve a public plan (not just a private subsidy) available to at least some section of the population beyond the current Medicaid population.

There is not general agreement within the Democratic Party on universal single-payer as even a long-term goal. The currently dominant neoliberal faction of the Democratic Party supports a public option as a long-term component of healthcare policy to acheive universal access, but does not generally support single-payer as a goal, in either the near or long term.

> In general, the U.S. has the most progressive tax code in the OECD

As your own source notes, net of transfers and taxes, the US has one of the least progressive systems in the OECD.

> In the area of taxes, the Democratic Party is center-right in some ways but quite left win in others. Merkel has championed Germany following along with Trump's corporate tax cuts.

You seem to be really obsessed with the CDU as your measure of center-right parties, but AFAICT the CDU is to the right of most parties labelled center-right, not just in Europe, but even in Germany specifically (which has a fairly wide range of center-right parties.)

But, yes, its really only the dominant faction of the Democratic Party that is center-right, the "progressive" faction is center to center-left by European terms, and the whole (today, with the gains the progressive wing has made over the recent years considered) is probably more center than center-right; the "Democrats are a center-right" party was most true at the height of the Clintonian neoliberalism of the Democratic Party which as faded over the last decade or so and particularly since Bernie Sanders 2016 campaign reenergized the progressive wing, though it has still not become dominant.
At the same time, precursor to Interface Builder.
You are an example of the problem.

It was known for decades that lead in paint was poisoning everyone. Paint maufacturers persuaded US Congress not to ban lead in paint in the '40s, promising to "phase it out". In 1973 Congress finally banned lead in paint because manufacturers had done exactly nothing in 3+ decades.

The crime waves of the 20th century exactly track (with a ~20 year latency) exposure to lead, so not just cancer and lower IQ, but thousands of violent deaths resulted, knowingly.

We have known, for certain, since 1957, that trans fats in shortening and margarine were major causes of heart failure. They were not scheduled to be out of the food supply until 2017, and some manufacturers have got extensions into, thus far, 2021. ("We still have poison in the pipeline we would like to sell all of before we switch.")

If it makes a profit, it doesn't matter who is harmed?

Putting people in prison for their part in killing millions of people is properly part of civil society. We call it law enforcement.

You seem to suggest laws must not be enforced if rich people might face enforcement? Who is really unhinged, here?
Yes; per the internet archive[1], the data's at least 20 years old.

It’s political because a number of hugely important issues call us all to action (child poverty, climate change, homelessness) and those issues are and will continue to put vulnerable people in danger of death and suffering. Staying in your comfort zone is likely an expression of indifference to them as vanishingly few people are comfortable when tackling these problems.

You might adopt a political position that your privileged position of safety and comfort is not subject to any particular obligations to engage with others and become involved in society’s problems, but that would be politics all the same.
> An API, despite looking like works, is not a literary expression of a process, it is a machine

That is incorrect.

> . If I change the names of things in a table of contents to synonyms, I can still use it to find what I am looking for.

If I change the name to be something you cannot refer to, you cannot.

> If I change the names of things my implementation of an API, it no longer functions as an interface for the things that worked with it previously.

This is irrelevant to the API. The API does not make a guarantee about functionality. If I have an endpoint /foo and later /foo increments an internal counter by 1, the API remains unchanged. Documentation supplements and is not part of the API per se, which is an important distinction. The fact that Documentation and an API are being referred to in conjunction, was a failure that software will suffer for more than the lifetime of my children.
Pretty sure this is intentional. Waymo had an insane (decades) head start in regards to self driving technology and was notably quiet about it.

While Uber and other folks are all boasting about their self driving project and collecting the lion share of controversy and unwanted attention, waymo is quietly, step by step, heading towards it's total dominance, staying completely off the radar.
"Everything is political" is literally the working definition of totalitarianism.
We will. In the mean time people reading these articles will have an increasingly twisted view of the world. I wish I had a way to teach people to think more deeply and critically about what they read in the news.

I wonder how a couple of red necks even knew where her vacation home was, and which one of them suggested going there and looking at it from a distance. I suspect the guy whose job it was to get convictions under his belt told them where it was and that they should go there. Another thing we will hopefully find out at trial.
What do you mean? The code is on the build server. You only need to push your human-timescale changes.
Apparently, was more than just a rumor.

Most certainly - IBM will happily support software products from companies with competing products like Oracle and SAP in service agreements.
The Bay area sounds excessive, but consider that under the ancestor's idea, you couldn't do that if you were concerned with reducing your risk of infection.

I'm 53. I have asthma and I really hate hospitals. Right now, I have been going for groceries about once a week. I've gone to some appointments, but I've cancelled others. I've been getting take-out some, and I even went on one shopping expedition for craft supplies. I'm relatively comfortable with that because, while I have to assume everyone else is potentially infected, I can also assume that most of them are taking steps to protect me---a mask is significantly more effective at preventing spread from someone infected than it is at preventing an infection of the wearer.

Close quarantine means no going to the store at all. Not going for walks. It specifically means no human contact outside the people you are quarantined with.
Nah. I’m one of the “apolitical” crowd. I have all sorts of weird, controversial opinions, but I simply leave them at the door and do the job I’m paid to do.
It is a well thought out and well put together article. In todays day and age and current climate, classical enlightenment era spawned liberal thinking is a nice change of pace.
He also argued that there was only one way Oracle's Java libraries could have been designed, which is clearly false, and the justices picked up on that.

Ok, we've shrunk the general public to "more people" in the title above.
It's already here.
My last company was trending in a similar direction. They would allow one ideological group to post completely unsubstantiated political claims, but opposing views were not allowed to be presented at all, even if they were thoroughly researched (this wasn't "official" policy, of course). Note that while I'm not a lawyer, I suspect that these permitted ideological viewpoints were sufficiently sexist and racist as to open the company up to some legal liability.
He’s also doxxed people who left bad book reviews, and people who argued with him on Twitter. Krebs is frequently a major shithead.

He’s not the judge and jury and he shouldn’t be doxxing anyone. It’s a big problem with him, and one of the reasons I wish people would stop linking to his website.

The ResEdit CODE editor was wonderful. It's a pity there was no real equivalent for PowerPC PEF executables. (There were some third-party tools like Fragmalyzer, but they were harder to come by.)
