Agreed that Foxconn doesn't sound malicious here. But it does seem like more than typical bumbling.

In particular, I can't see how this management structure is supposed to work - competing subdivisions is fine, and having divisions just do what the CEO says seems like it could work, but combining them is wild.

> "An argument should be a collaboration between two people to find the truth."

This makes me sad because I agree. And yet, in the USA, your right-wing uncle probably isn't that interested in the truth. And the new generation of identity-politics liberals are the generation who have grown up taught in an academic world infested with post-modernism; they are also less interested in truth, but to their credit, very interested in improving the world. One would hope the two would coincide, but honestly, it's not looking like it's going to work out that way.

I can't parse your comment properly, but the answer is in the Perl and Python niche. So I know it was a niche. It was farther along then than, say, Nim is now, but if you started your job search out and limited it to just Perl and Python, and I'll even toss in PHP for free, you cut out 90%+ of the listings.

Of course, you only need that one job. But it was nowhere near as useful as C++, Visual Basic, or even Java already. (Sun spent a crapton of money buying Java credibility, and it worked! I'm not sure it ever profited them, but by golly it worked. It came out of the gate far stronger than its technical internals at the time warranted.)

And in 2002, "one job" was hard to find....
The fact that the verb is "" makes this comment perfect. ;-)
Most of the anecdotes here are quite illuminating. But I am interested to understand this from parenting perspective. How much of time and effort a homeschooling parent need to dedicate.

And I wonder whether there is a selection bias in the outcome. Are we looking at a sample of households that are already well off enough to spend dedicated time and resources on homeschooling? Does the family background improve the chances of success significantly? It is hard to separate these tightly coupled factors.
> I'm not sure I follow. The company can lower wages or raise prices to comply with the law. But then other companies, that also comply with the law, will eat their marketshare? How?

Uber and sharecropping firms like it compete with eachother, as well as with traditional taxi firms.

As I understand it, traditional taxi firms are already largely in compliance with the proposed legislature.

The demand for taxis is not going to go away anywhere. You can operate a taxi company (traditional, or sharecropper) with, or without prop 22. The only difference will be in the price of rides - for what is largely a luxury good.

It isn't, but it's a clever propaganda trick to make people think it is. How much opposition will you get if you convince people that to oppose you would be like arguing against having the tide coming in tomorrow?

How work is organized is a political decision for a society, and some people want that decision to be gigs for larger segment of workers. It's pretty easy to see who, when you think about who's taking more risk in such arrangements.

I'm not Indian, but I used to do this a lot when I was younger. My thought process was that a single dot would come across as serious or passive-aggressive (there's a discussion about this phenomenon somewhere in this thread) and ellipses would similarly be rude. Two dots somehow seemed like a nice way to come across as more friendly, and/or indicate a tiny pause between sentences.

I used to do this in the times when we were separately charged for every text with our cellular service. I'd try to fit as many sentences as possible to each sent message. With the rise of internet based texting, it became unnecessary to use sentence separators, because I could just separate them by sending multiple messages (and not use any punctuation at the end of each sentence, which is the current accepted "friendly" way of communication).
Seems sensible to me when there is still uncertainty as to the relative levels of political vs scientific criteria in vaccine approval.

I doubt a significant number of people will be comfortable util there is some history, whether scientifically developed or through a crap shoot by a portion of the general public.

What's frustrating is that the political involvement has and will continue to feel anti-vaxxer paranoia.
Alternatively, users could be given the option to opt-out of automated contact discovery so that most users have the current behaviour but people who don't want others to find out they've started using Signal (there are dozens of fairly serious situations where this could be very bad -- dismissing them like you did by calling them "elite" betrays you don't actually care about the issue being described).

I mean, the fact that Signal actively notifies you when a contact registers for Signal is a complete misfeature (yes, this is basically a cosmetic complaint). It actively outs people who don't want to be outed and it's a useless notification to all of your contacts if you don't care about it.

I fell in quicksand on an island off the coast of North Carolina just a few weeks ago. Immediately was in over my knees but easily walked out. The crazy thing was that area of quicksand immediately hardened after I’d fallen in it. I’m guessing water filled the void allowing sand to pack...not sure. Would’ve been REALLY scary if it were any deeper.
Seriously? I wonder how you feel about “/s” and similar?

There are plenty of uses of emoji that don’t add clarity, but I think it’s a bit much to say they can’t be used in a way that adds clarity at all.
I'm pretty confident you could change those numbers with a few reminders to link your email/whatever for a backup. My WA account is extremely aggressive about setting backups, so clearly it works (but you don't need to be that aggressive. You can still respect users and remind them of things.)
Session is exciting but it's currently broken. Group chats don't work properly with messages frequently getting lost and not delivered to all users. We've tried to switch several times for groups that need encrypted group chat with disappearing messages, group admin, and usernames instead of phone numbers (basically making them the only game in town) but it just doesn't work right 100% of the time which is a deal breaker.

> A small team could perhaps release a game under an OSS license, but it wouldn’t be what we generally think of as open source development.

This is... definitely what I think of when I generally think of open source development? The vast majority of open source projects seem to be by one person. How many zero-star projects are there on GitHub? Half the libraries I use on a regular basis are authored by one person.

I think you are conflating contribution with direction. I'd argue most successful OSS projects have strong direction led by a small team. Postgres core. Python's BDFL, while it lasted. Even projects like Git have people like Junio, who are wonderful and knowledgeable and without which the project wouldn't even be remotely the same.

> These games had very specific artistic visions, and I’m not sure how you’d execute that.

There is no requirement for consensus-driven democratic decision making for a project, so I really don't get why you feel this way.

One of the first projects I contributed to was BZFlag, a game.

What about Colossal Cave Adventure? Rogue? Nethack? Hell I spent probably a few dozen hours playing Tux Racer since it's release.

The point of our system is that (as much as is possible) education is not limited to the 'elites' and 'intelligentsia.' Rather, it is distributed in a (relatively) egalitarian fashion amongst not just those who call for war and revolution, but those who rot in the trenches and die upon the bayonet. School is excellent at building the cohesive fabric of a society, including teaching it's boredom, authority, and pointless busywork.

You can disable syntax highlighting, either by customizing the {plus,minus}-*-style options to not use 'syntax' as the foreground color, or by selecting the diff-highlight or diff-so-fancy emulation modes.

Ask HN: How does Experian determine whether a given Gmail address exists?
Experian is selling an email validation service: https://www.experian.com.au/email-validation .
This seems to, somehow, do live detection of whether a given gmail address exists.

To test this, I tested the result for a non-existing dummy address was 'invalid', then registered a gmail account with that dummy address, then re-checked the result to be 'valid'. As far as I could tell, there was nothing sent to the new account (so e.g. they aren't just checking for a bounce from a test email)

How can this work? This basically allows for user existence enumeration, which I would expect Google might frown upon. Reckon they are abusing some Google API in some way? (e.g. I'm having fuzzy thoughts about calendar invites, doc sharing, etc.) I am working under the assumption that they have special-cased detection for Google accounts; I haven't checked other email providers. Obviously their service could not possibly work in the general case.

Whenever I read a sentence with a period in my head, I read it in a very flat tone, since the period explicitly excludes any exclamation point, question mark, emoji, etc. So that makes it sound weird when someone uses a period in casual conversation, because if I was talking to them on person they would usually have some kind of emotion.

For example, I would read "Sounds good" in a generally positive way just like when someone is saying that in person, but when I read "Sounds good." I read it without any emotion in my head which sounds wierd.

Perrin told me that, despite appearances, ‘Moxie leads from the front, and he just leads by doing. One of his favorite quotes is “The only secret is to begin.” If you want to get good at something or do something, you just do it, and you figure it out along the way.’

It should be noted that (while cool from a cryptographic perspective), this security primitive is practically useless in any scenario where you might think it would be useful:

* The burden of evidence to introduce chat logs in legal proceedings is much lower than you would think. Often screenshots of Facebook messages are used, or SMS records (which are also easily spoofed). A judge or jury will likely not entertain the possibility the messages were fabricated unless you have substantial evidence to the contrary.

* If you're scared of national security actors discovering you've leaked some information, the fact there is a record of the secret information in the other person's phone is more than enough for them to black bag you. (And let's be honest, lack of evidence has never stopped the USA from black bagging people.)

* Generally speaking, the probability of the chat record being faked is so small that no reasonable person will entertain the possibility it was faked (even though it could've been).

Not to mention there are all sorts of forensic methods to prove that a particular person wrote some message using fingerprinting, and ultimately Signal LLC does actually know whether you sent a message or not and who to (though admittedly they claim they don't keep metadata logs).

Now, if you're dealing with an anonymised chat system with this property then it could be argued it is practically useful. But at that point the anonymisation is doing most of the heavy lifting.

You're not comparing apples to apples. Compare gcc or clang to Microsoft's C++ compiler from 2020, and you'll find that they're doing just fine. What's changed is that rather than a compiler that takes C++ in and produces x86 executable output, we have compiler suites that take input from C/C++/Fortran/whatever, runs it through a few decades' worth of optimizations, and then target the result at Linux/*BSD/NT/Darwin on ARM/x86/POWER/RISC-V/SPARC/MIPS. And optimizations are expensive.

Each year, I grow an increasing amount of my food from less than an acre. Corn is not an efficient way to get calories in an organic system, it requires too much nitrogen.

I once calculated that a person in a temperate climate could produce most of their nutritional requireents with a plot roughly 25 square meters. Azolla doubles in mass every 2-3 days in ideal conditions and draws everything but trace minerals from the atmosphere.
