The tension I observe is: when should you use a highly productive and well-known framework like Django or Rails, and when should you build your own DDD/Clean architecture?

This discussion has gone on for a long time, e.g. see the back-and-forth around https://dhh.dk/2014/test-induced-design-damage.html after Weirich demonstrated what sort of thing is required to use the Hexagonal Architecture with Rails.

I believe that if your system is sufficiently complex, you'll start to see the benefits of a more structured architecture, but it's a net drag on productivity for small projects. These days perhaps you chop your monolith into microservices before reaching the ROI point for Clean/Hexagonal?

I could believe that a "framework-first" architecture is more productive while you have <100kloc. Or maybe it's <10kloc, I don't know. I'm certainly seeing the architectural strain with a Django-first architecture in the current 150kloc monolith I'm working on, and chopping into a few services makes sense there for other reasons, so it might obviate the need for a bigger refactor onto Clean/Hexagonal.
Ask HN: How do startups manage operations for India office?
I'm trying to understand how do startups in US normally run operations in India office when both founders are in US?

- Do you hire them as contractor or employee? I imagine hiring as contractor is probably easier but some people may have preference to become employee instead?

- If you hire them as employee, how do you take care of running payroll in indian rupees with all the tax deduction and local compliance taken care of?

- have you explored hiring through PEO (
Professional employer organization) kind of setup to avoid having to register for indian entity at all?

Any other pain points you faced with remote office in India assuming you hired good quality talent?
They can still use designs, knowledge, and supply chains that have already been built and scaled.
You should do coldfusion freelancing, if there's still something made with it.

> This story seems like the type of thing that would normally make peoples' entire journalistic career, and yet the journalists, the people who are supposed to be a part of our protection and sense-making system are actively trying to suppress it.

This story is the type of thing that would make peoples' entire journalistic career if it was true. And if a journalist pushes it, and it turns out false, it would ruin their entire career—for instance, see Dan Rather. So journalists have to assess how likely they feel that it's true, and I think we've seen a pretty consistent response to those assessments.
Horseshit. Last I checked, most things in that dossier turned out to be true.
>>A lot of unreasonably rich people are unreasonably obsessed with space, but thats largely because they are sociopaths. Thats how they got rich in the first place, or were born to such extreme luxury they are psychologically impaired to be unable to relate to anyone outside their class meaningfully. So they go full scifi because they don't think the world we have with all its problems not so easily solved by throwing money at them (that isn't for their own immediate personal gain) is worth it.

Or they think that expanding the amount of clean energy available to humanity a million fold - which a significant space economy would make possible - would do more to elevate the quality of life humanity enjoys than any other endeavor.

This hyper-cynical outlook, where you assume a focus on pushing the technological boundaries to make more of the universe accessible to humanity is motivated by sociopathic priorities, is toxic and totally inconsiderate of the goodwilled individuals it maligns.
Atleast in the EU it even is forbidden to use false information ("only X rooms/seats/items left" if that isn't true) as a sales tactic.

This is why the Economist, FT and the WSJ still have a somewhat positive reputation. They're expensive and tend to write about things that are important, not sensational.

All other publications are slowly falling victim to the parametdynamicser of the entertainment game, including ones that were also in that bracket not long ago. Mind you I'm not saying WaPo and NYT are trash now, they did start with a high rep and try to square the circle by staying there and getting people to pay for it.

"Entitled to a refund" is not the same as "made whole". Consumers want the latter, companies usually want the former.

For starters there's inflation, so if I spend $10 today and 20 years from now they revoke the license or whatever and give me 10 2040-dollars, that's not going to be the same buying power as the $10 in 2020 dollars.

Second, the media landscape may have shifted by then. If the only company in 2040 that can give me another, comparable "indefinite rental license" or whatever is charging $100, I want Amazon to pay _that_.

The moment you choose to close your eyes what's going on in your neighbourhood the fabric of your society tears apart because the morality in the society crumbles.

You will have people who know people and love people beyond the border, you will have people who believe in a philosophy that teaches to help those in need,you have people who are not happy about how your society works but were keeping it to themselves because killing other human beings was not an option but now it is an option obviously. Not only that, there will be people competing for power in your lucky society and the people in need and all the issues in your society will be tools to gain power. Things wont also happen in one day, those in need will have things to offer to people in your society - anything prohibited, anything that those in power deny to those who want power.

It will spill over, there's no way around it. Unless maybe you have some kind of monarchy where everyone knows it's place and follows the orders, doesn't question authority and doesn't aspire to move between classes. How do you turn democracies into this thing? To decide who is the king who is the servant you will need civil wars, so it will definitely spill over.

Extinction Rebellion enjoys either outright support or warm neutrality from most governments and corporations. Their resilience to censorship won't be really tested.

This is not the situation youtube-dl will find itself in now.
Mass extinction I'm guessing? Ecosystems are systems. They are resilient to a point, but losing enough diversity to the point it can't sustain itself leads to a collapse.

It's happened numerous times before.
Yes, there are a lot of bad actors are in the system, which is why punitive measures need to be enforced. We can't pretend that they aren't being sneaky about their finances. China in particular has been notorious in their two-facedness presenting their economies as safe havens while covering up their underhandedness. If they aren't put on the spot and faced directly for what they are under their mask, they'll continue to shapeshift and avert transparency into a system that disproportionately benefits them. Economists have long predicted their economy is in a bubble, but because of the way they prop it up, they are able to inflate far longer than they would in a more transparent world, thus drawing investors into their falsely good looking economy while acquiring foreign assets that have real value with that extra purchasing power.
Where is Telecomix when you need them?

I would say the most likely reason the FBI did nothing because there was no crime.

What Hunter/Joe Biden are accused of doing is a very popular scam among politicians in most countries and unless you are dumb enough to explicitly put in writing a bribery scheme then there is very little legal risk.

The scam comes about because it is fundamentally unfair to limit the employment opportunities of a politician’s family or the politician themselves after they leave office. So what happen is that companies will put a politician’s family members into positions of employment where there is a large gap between the value they produce in that position and what their reenumeration is. Alternatively, after the politician leaves office they will be parachuted into one of these scam jobs.

In return for organising these scam positions the company gets some alternative value from the politician. There can be a whole range of value from impressing (helping to scam) third parties to actually getting favourable government action or policy changes.

I feel like this is a very common arrangement for politicians and this is part of the reason there is a lot of pressure by the media to not cover this.
Ask HN: How do you guys keep track of information in a new job?
I'm a data scientist, and I just started working for a big company (one of the Ycombinators unicorns) and the scale in way bigger than my previous jobs.

Do you guys have any tips or advice for me?
We finally started driving across town to get carry-out once we realized how big a difference in cost it was. Not only is there a fee but I think they're also inflating prices, and for some restaurants they kept getting the order wrong.

Plus the tip goes to their driver, not the restaurant. I mean yeah, props to the driver driving all over getting my food, but I want my guilt money to go to the cooks, who are breathing each other's air in a kitchen so I can stress eat, just feeling lucky they still have a job at all.
We've known about it for over 50 years and have done basically nothing. Why would you expect another 100 to matter?
That would be news because the President said that.

And doubly-so if my whole job is to be a partisan hack trying to delver an October surprise.
Alternatively, we need to extend our typical notion of a dataset to include where it came from/how it was perturbed. If you give your best statistician a dataset without column names and a description of the experiment, they aren't going to be able to do causal inference. We need to make those things more available to the machines too, in a structured way.
No, that's not what I meant and they don't lock you out for fraud either.

By "fraud" I meant: buying a game with a stolen payment method, that's it. If someone does that, the specific game gets removed from their account and this message[1] is shown. The rest of their account remains untouched.

About the rest of your scenarios: They don't look at how many times you launch a game (I launched 2+ copies of a game many, many times). If a game bans you for whatever reason -- like anti-cheat misdetections -- the multiplayer-only ban is only for that game and done by the publisher (not Steam). You're confusing Valve/Steam with EasyAntiCheat, BattlEye, etc.

Steam doesn't even phone home if DRM fails, the game just doesn't launch; DRM meddling doesn't get you banned or anything.

>you cannot learn causality from observational data alone.

As others have pointed out, this is kind of the point of much of Pearl's work on causality. Specifically, do-calculus provides a set of primitive operations that can be used to convert queries in interventional/counterfactual (causal) distributions to estimands in a purely observational distribution.

> My point though is that major journalism outlets, while they certainly screw up from time to time, don't run with major stories and be "We think this is true but maybe it isn't. We'll keep you posted."

Right; they will run with "Someone else is reporting/claiming this, but we have been unable to confirm it. We'll keep you posted." And while the difference in terms of the impression on the reader/viewer may be subtle, there is an important distinction between running the unconfirmed story directly as news (or the thing Greenwald apparently suggested of an outlet running dueling news stories on the same issue from different journalists as news.)
The point of the article is that space exploration is a spectacle to distract people from hard problems. It is not about whether space colonisation is possible.

Perhaps it is possible, perhaps not. Who cares? The Earth is dying, humans are responsible, stop it with being distracted!

Surely it is time that we started to deal with the existential hard problems and stop the "pie in the sky"?
> But Hunter traveled with his father, then VP, on Air Force Two to China in 2013 and met with senior bankers to establish a Chinese private equity fund.

This is exactly the kind of sentence which is technically true but worded in a way to make it sound like it says more than "Hunter took a plane trip with his dad in 2013."

- Biden was VP for 8 years. Is he not supposed to travel with his kids during that time?

- "Air Force Two" is the term used for any plane the VP is on. Anyone flying with the VP is on Air Force Two.

- Hunter Biden, and only Hunter Biden, met with the Chinese bankers. Joe Biden had no contact with the bankers, involvement in the meeting, or financial involvement with the fund before or after.

- The emails in question were from 2017, after Joe Biden was no longer VP.

- While the emails may be questionable, there is no evidence of Joe Biden's involvement in any part of the deal during or after his time as VP.

Having a background in health, I can confidently say that the human body has surprising relationships to the nutrients that go into it. The specific composition and timing of nutrient delivery to various systems in the body can have a dramatic effect on health, and so taking a first principles approach (as opposed to an evidence-based approach) can be very dangerous in the context of human health.

IMO the burden of proof for whether something is truly healthy for a human being over the course of their lifetime is on the new product rather than lack of evidence to the contrary.

Just my two cents’, and I think reasonable people can disagree.
This is something I think about a lot. The most important is to keep things going. Our descendants might have terrible lives for a thousand generations and it would be worth it if it means humanity can get to better times on the other side. The only reason we’ve had all this wealth and ease to squander is because of those who went before us.
HN Who's Hiring has been the best in my experience, for a few reasons:

1) A massive plaintext feed dissuades some applicants, so finding a job posting that doesn't match obvious keywords means you'll face less competition.

2) Most posts reflect fresh openings, or at least openings still actively looking for candidates.

3) Many will list a direct email address where you can deliver your pitch / cover letter directly.

Second best for me has been WeWorkRemotely, though since the pandemic it's been flooded with competition and doesn't have any of the advantages of the above.
I fully agree with you. That's why I think the cover-up is way, way worse than the actual original thing. It was a nothingburger, and now the media's unintentionally turned it into one of the biggest controversies of the year, by refusing to treat it in a reasonable and balanced way. It's the epitome of the Streisand effect.

This is why I keep posting about this. It's all just unwittingly helping Trump, all because they somehow think being journalists is the thing that'd actually help him or will cause accusations of helping him if he wins.

There's a middleground here. Of course the media having a front page headline about the emails every day would be irresponsible. But refusing to talk about it or look at it inquisitively, at all, ever, is just as irresponsible. As is Twitter censoring links to it.
Hundreds of years starting in 1800s gives us until about 2100. 80 years will be within our childrens lifetimes for us millennials.

Why would I need to do any research? If the "forced" claim were true, it would be literally impossible for me to be doing what I'm doing right now.

Microsoft might have tried to deceive or even coerce users of its older operating systems in order to get them to accept an upgrade. However, the upgrade was not forced, because you could (and some people did) avoid moving to the new version.

It does not usefully advance the discussion about Microsoft's behaviour to misrepresent what happened. There's plenty to criticise without the hyperbole, after all.
The fact that this comment is "grayed" out makes me uncomfortable with where this discussion is going on HN. I think you made the most valid argument about this specific article of all the comments I have read here.

> Responding to a disagreement about accuracy or fact-checking with your own editors by claiming they are ‘New York-based’ and ‘Biden is their preferred candidate’ is deeply unprofessional

Even if when the actual article gets released and it's 100% factual and great, the "pre-article" we are reading here is just playing politics -- which is exactly what it claims to be fighting against.
I think the courts have ruled that it is perfectly legal to record somebody outside of their home as that is considered public spaces. Many cities are now moving to embed cameras in street lights to deter and record crimes.

I think that it is safe to assume that if you are outside, you are being recorded, either by a check point camera , a store’s security camera , streetlight camera or even your neighbor’s ring device.

You should not have any expectation of privacy once you are outside the confines of your house.
I would venture that it’s necessary but potentially not sufficient.

I tried Soylent for a while a few years ago, I always felt a little off after drinking it. Nothing extreme but I decided it wasn't for me.
> I know that when I eat a portion of leafy green vegetables. I am eating something "healthy."

There's a difference between _knowing_ and _believing_. You _believe_ this, it's not an absolute truth.

It's the same as most people believe they must drink 2L of water a day, where in reality there's zero scientific basis for the assertion.

It could be that there is scientific basis that ground up plant material of which Soylent is comprised is not nutritionally similar to "leafy green vegetables", but you don't _know_ that. You merely _believe_ it. I'm not even a soylent fan (although I did try it), but I am a fan of critical thinking.
Will do and good luck!
