I assume they probably don't care about how a random scummy startup works; they want no part in it, including the rigmarole for opting out (if one exists).

Think of it less as a friendship network which requires active effort to maintain and more of a collection of people who have experienced first hand your technical abilities and can vouch for them. Hiring good engineers is really hard and interview processes aren't all that good at selecting good engineers. So if you are looking for a new opportunity and have a way to broadcast that fact to former colleagues (LinkedIn!) then you will likely be able to get a lot of leads from people you may not have talked to in years and maybe didn't even know that well on a personal level when you did work together.

I can think of probably a dozen people I have worked with over the year, haven't spoken to since we parted ways professionally but would nonetheless immediately try to hire (or refer for hire) if they reached and said they were looking.
It is definitely a two-edged blade. It might serve as a moral pillar to Greenwald, but it also makes him easy to manipulate. One could feed the leak at the time where it would do most damage and know that where other editors would think twice Glenn would jump on it.

Sadly I have the feeling that good faith journalism has no role to play nowadays. It doesn't have the reach and credibility it needs to justify it. People now "inform" themselves in a decentralized manner, seldom break their bubble and don't care much about facts preferring narratives. The hardest facts and science can be presented and it will still come out as narrative.
There are mild sedation techniques. People think they are "put under" because there tends to be no memory of the procedure, but it is not like general anesthesia in the strong sense.
Yes. Climate change is catastrophic, but "human extinction by 2030" is absurd. If we don't treat it as such, reasonable people stop listening.
What is even the point of that comparison?

There's a difference between misogyny and protecting yourself from hardship.
No mainstream publication has been willing to do so.

And IMO, that should be seen as an indictment of the state of the modern corporate press, as opposed to an indication that the story lacks veracity.

As we've seen repeatedly over the last four years, the mainstream media is happy to amplify absurd stories - the Trump "suckers and losers" story which was quickly debunked, the entire Russia Collusion narrative, etc - if it serves their own interests.

So to view what is reported in the mainstream media as the barometer of what is true is to commit an enormous error.
So if the intercept refuses to publish my story, they are infringing upon my first amendment rights?
I don’t think fully autonomous driving is ready, fully autonomous human equivalent accident avoidance is a much simpler problem that seems to be largely solved.

Having an alert driver paying attention is a net benefit, but in practice people don’t continuously pay full attention for long stretches with autonomous driving. If you assume people are paying attention say 90% of the time in practice then their only catching less than 90% of the potential accidents they could avoid. Further, assuming identical rates of accidents to the average person the other car is at fault 1/2 the increase is further reduced.

As such, I think the regulation is a good idea for now as the net benefit to fully autonomous driving is to the individual while the risks include other drivers.
I can imagine growing massive hydrogen balloons in the sea. Using their solar energy and the day-night cycle, they pump small amounts of salt water to approximately 100m high, where the salt seeds cloud formation.

Forming low clouds over dark blue oceans is very efficient.

Static site generators, published on Github Pages, are quite popular nowadays. But what about a static URL generator, which allows me to redirect URLs based on static files?

I've never heard about such a thing, and usually I would end-up setting up a server with redirects for this. That is why I ended up creating a small tool called "urlzap".

It generates URLs using files and HTML wizardry, allowing users to host their own URL redirects into Github Pages.
In other words you believe distro maintainers does bad job. They push product that is not ready.

I've seen enough arrogant quotes from systemd developers. But it solves user problems. Arch Linux was first among systemd adopters, boot become much quicker. And I think it solves maintainers problems, that's why it was adopted so quickly.

Oh, I've heard GNOME also helped adoption, but is it systemd fault or GNOME fault? I believe GNOMEs. As I know OpenBSD does not run systemd so it is possible if people care enough.

I do not use PulseAudio, but I have not tried since 2008 (pushed by Ubuntu, wrong choice). Maybe it works, ALSA works so I do not care. If I cared enough about ALSA, I'd support its development like maintaining Firefox ALSA backend.

> Wayland, unfortunately, is not willing to exist as just another option

I do not believe this is developers attitude, more like your opinion. You would gain nothing by attacking Wayland. Some developers would burn out sooner, same developers that could have implemented features you need. And lets face it no one wants to work on XFree86, not you, not me, hardly anyone. Because it is a mess:

> The size isn't so much the issue, it's the design. The xfree86 ddx seriously believes that you have one video card driving one monitor with one keyboard and one mouse, and anything beyond that only works well because we sank a ton of effort into it. (It used to have code to disable interrupts! From userspace! What could go right.)

> X is a tremendously successful project whose core design and reference implementation do not reflect how computers work anymore, in ways that make it painful to develop and maintain as the system display server.

@Timescale devs,

what are the differences between Timescale and Citus? When do I want to use which? AFAIK Citus scales multi-nodes long time already, your solution of hypertables reminds me of Citus distributed tables... Citus can do rebalancing long time as well... And much more.
Would love to hear what you think makes you different.
What's new is the ability to quickly spread information. In pre-social-media age, we had "fake news", but outside of newspapers and TV, any rumor would have to spread by word of mouth - and even with phones, it places a significant upper limit on the number of people one person can spread it to.

But with modern social networks, a single mouse click can send it into dozens of feeds; hundreds, for some people. And then you get this effect magnified manyfold:

If you feel lonely or struggle to connect with people, or maintain relationships, don't expect to get help for that in HN comment threads. Don't feel sorry for yourself, get help.

While you are close to being 100% correct with this advice, don't you think you are being a bit harsh on the OP as it's obvious that's exactly what he has done by posting his job seeking issues here on HN?

I mean...if this is how you feel, why bother even replying to him? Obviously, it's too late for your advice to be of any help to him now in his current situation, right?

I'll come clean and add that I, too, am in a very similar boat as the OP...I'm a 55yo software developer with 35 years in the industry, and due to my lifelong passion with a side-career as a semi-professional musician and other introvert-type issues, I literally have a non-existent network of people who will help me find work.

In no way am I feeling "sorry for myself" with my job hunt...I'm just trying to keep from being homeless and hungry.

It's probable that the OP is facing the same things.
A judgement against a corporate entity after the owners have already cashed out is analogous to a judge ordering the return of stolen lemons, but the thief gets to keep the lemonade she's already squeezed out of them.

I _wish_ MDN had a user-friendly contribution process. My experience has been _far_ from that. I very much welcome these changes.

In late 2017, I spent upwards of 80+ hours standardizing 80 different MDN docs pages so they used the same best-practices layout as other more popular docs pages on the MDN.[1]

Of the 85 pages I updated to have better formatting, over 18 were reverted by random contributors within 2 days with no reason or explanation in the changelog. It was _impossible_ for me to get in contact with the people reverting the changes, because they are only a username.

I tried contacting MDN maintainers on IRC, searching for those users on IRC, and came up empty handed. I was left to make a plea on the mailing list asking for those change authors to get in contact with me, only to receive no response.

I came away from the experience highly encouraged not to contribute to the MDN.

Appropriate for what? Discussion?
From your posts in this thread it’s obvious you’re not commenting in good faith, and again here have made a strawman. There’s nobody here arguing against open debate.

The Intercept decided an article fell below their journalistic standards and chose not to publish it. That only leaves ninety-million other places for Glen to publish it, and by his own admission he has this right.
Totally a fad. I bet they won't be popular for more than a century or two.
Im a full stack dev, using coldfusion (like adobe's version of PHP). I feel stuck, and like I am unable to even have the time to master anything.. When I tell people "full stack w/ coldfusion and a lot of SQL", they either tune out, or say "oh man that sucks" then tune out... and the interviewing process seems like a broken mess of bullshit for a lot of meaningless apps.
The CPU only has 8 lanes of PCIe. It's using a PCIe switch to get the rest of the lanes. USB is also connected via the PCIe switch. The ethernet adapter is connected directly to the CPU though.
Why does the site use Drift for chat?
That's not true. Look up doubly robust estimators for a neat counterexample. Or IPTW for an extension of a dataset that can help with this (X, t, y, and propensities, instead of just X, t, y). Causal inference has a super rich literature that's quickly growing.

Or better yet (stretching and sidestepping how you meant it), give your friendly neighborhood statistician/econometrician just a dataset and they can't do causal inference. Give them propensities and column names/descriptions and a writeup of the experiment/where the data came from, and suddenly they might be able to do causal inference. It points to a need to augment our observations with more structured metadata, if we want to do causal inference with data that's just lying around.
Perhaps the term "the authoritarian left" or "the totalitarian left" would fit a bit better. I think in context their point is very clear though.

Well after new browser from Microsoft, I am using Bing. Google losts its charm when they cannot sort data by date. You cannot use Google to retreive old news, everything is unsorted based on keywords. Most of the time you get same article in different pages.
> He ought to (and I imagine, he does) have seniority on any editor.

He may or may not have some contractual guarantee of independence, but his own statement of the situation indicates that he and his cofounders deliberately chose not to have the authority and responsibility that goes with running the show but to leave that to others so that they could keep being reporters.
If I remember right, GrubHub/Doordash will undercut restaurant prices to gain more customers for short-term, then later adjust prices back up once they establish a more stable audience.
Ben Thompson’s “Stratechery”. Smart, but a little too much kool-aid
What do you mean he knew about it months ago? The point is that this is all just a fabrication, there is no story to address. That’s why they are pushing it now and not months ago.
One of Gentile's elements defining fascism is "a police apparatus that prevents, controls, and represses dissidence and opposition, including through the use of organized terror." Sending in the military against protesters would be literally a textbook example.

Cotton's OpEd was a prominent member of government advocating for fascist actions.

The irony here is palpable.
> Denial is the only way to cope

> I'm not having kids

You are a defeatist, aren't you? This entire thing has literally scared you into not fulfilling the genetic imperative, ending your own genetic line because you think that perhaps you may have an easier, simpler life and death this way. No need to expose yourself to the suffering of others you love, no need to invest yourself in tomorrow - just watch it all go, knowing that when you inevitably shuffle off the coil nobody is going to mind a bit.

Sad. Sorry to hear it. It's always a shame when an intelligent person chooses to ignore the sacrifice every one of their ancestors made to bring them to this point, just so that they don't have to risk the potential of having any hardship themselves. I do sincerely hope that you accomplish something great in your life that makes it otherwise worthwhile for them; to know that generations of people eked by just for you to play video games all day would be a truly disappointing conclusion.

> Biden could have addressed this story months ago.

If the story is true. If it's a fabrication - as they allege, and given that Fox News passed on it (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-electio...) and the Post's reporter didn't want his byline on it (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/18/business/media/new-york-p...), seems reasonably likely - they didn't hear about it until last week.

Norway got good enough at growing things in greenhouses to be considered a breadbasket. Norway. I think you severely underestimate human adaptability.

Some of us are, but moving north, learning permaculture, investing in your community, and not worrying about a retirement fund are still "fringe" apparently.
Minor correction: the linked website says 32MB flash, not 32GB. Unless you meant 32GB flash for the micro-SD slot which is presumably sold separately for the SiFive board as it is with the RPi.
Not sure about the privacy laws in Canada, but are there any laws against video recording and/or facial recognition? AFAIK by default they're fair game because there's no expectation of privacy while in public.

To a degree. 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."
Interestingly, the damages can be calculated and definitely add up.

Restaurants spend a lot of time and effort to build up loyal, lifetime customers that are created by giving them three exceptional experiences in a row. There is a lot of research on getting to three exceptional experiences in return for a lifetime customer. Those exceptional experiences require investments in staff and training and take a long time to pay off.

Having GrubHub break that effort through misrepresentation they are destroying the lifetime value of those customers. If you apply that math to slightly more premium venues, GrubHub is easily costing restaurants hundreds of thousands in revenue through lost lifetime value.

Restaurants are complex, fragile businesses, and this practice damages them at the core of their business.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out in court.
> Space exploration has already created many significant benefits for humanity on Earth, by advancing hundreds of new technologies with terrestrial applications and launching satellite networks

I don't think this is a strong supporting argument because it applies to any major technological development. Anytime you invest people, billions of dollars, etc. into major technological goals, you're going to get advances and spinoffs that have broader applications. Space exploration is already basically a spinoff of military projects, goals, and investing, just like a huge amount of existing and future technology.

> that support a safer, more peaceful world for humans, with improved agricultural efficiencies as well as advanced warning and a better understanding of extreme weather events and climate trends

A citation would be very helpful there in terms of creating a more peaceful world for humans, as I do not think it's so cut and dry. Further, one could argue that exploring the oceans instead of space would be far more beneficial to understanding life, climate, ecosystems, etc. and would have just as much if not more technological spinoffs as sending man to the Moon or Mars.

My personal viewpoint on space exploration is to currently concentrate on drones and robots being sent out to space and to turn the money that would otherwise be invested into manned missions towards understanding the ocean and Earth itself. It's difficult to imagine a more perfect place for sustainable life than Earth, and yet we are not sustaining. That is a big gap and a big goal for humans: sustain life on Earth in a healthy way. If we can't do that on Earth, then I truly do not understand how we'll do it anywhere else.

Those restrictions are all just features of copyright law, not of a license. While the DRM associations have made outlandish claims at times, I'm not aware of any serious attempt to say that you don't own a copy of a movie when you buy it on Blu-ray or DVD.

The DRM coupled with the DMCA's anticircumvention provisions combine to make it illegal to do things that would otherwise be fair use, but this isn't because of a license.

One very important right you get by owning a copy is "first sale," that the copyright owner can't restrict you from transferring or selling the copy, and this is unaffected by the DRM. The store down the street that buys and sells CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays is evidence of that.

Even with the limitations of DRM, there's a very real difference between the kind of ownership you have with a disc and the lack of it that you have with pure-digital "buying" from most sources. (Though I believe there's some movement toward increasing consumers' rights to these kinds of digital "copies," in Europe at least.)
This is why most people employ (often unwittingly) dollar cost averaging (DCA). I say often unwittingly because that's what you're actually doing when contributing to a 401K and for the non-expert investor, it's actually a decent investment strategy. What screws up the long-term benefits of DCA is if you go and start moving your money around after realizing a loss in a particular investment fund.
> You have to understand why the Raspberry Pi is priced the way it is: it's because it is a side effect of the massive production of Broadcom chips for tablets, phones, embedded, etc. Millions and millions are made. A relatively tiny number of these find their way into developer boards. The economies of scale mean they can be very cheap.

That was the case for the very first version, but didn't the subsequent models use SoCs made specifically for them?
That book also has another bit in there with the programmer archeologist - digging through centuries of technical debt to find ways to make ancient code work in different ways.

My favorite passage in the book:

> There were programs here that had been written five thousand years ago, before Humankind ever left Earth. The wonder of it — the horror of it, Sura said — was that unlike the useless wrecks of Canberra’s past, these programs still worked! And via a million million circuitous threads of inheritance, many of the oldest programs still ran in the bowels of the Qeng Ho system. Take the Traders’ method of timekeeping. The frame corrections were incredibly complex — and down at the very bottom of it was a little program that ran a counter. Second by second, the Qeng Ho counted from the instant that a human had first set foot on Old Earth’s moon. But if you looked at it still more closely… the starting instant was actually about fifteen million seconds later, the 0-second of one of Humankind’s first computer operating systems.
Just use master branch.
Not sure what proof will work with some people, after all in places which have face-mask rules, the number breaking that etc highlights a not so small percentage of the populous, even with facts will air on the side that suits them.
If you are in a position to know such a thing, and you assert its veracity, then I don't think I can properly say that I have "debunked" it without actually investigating your role and showing that your assertion is false.

There is a difference between a claim being unproven - and properly erring on the side of caution and skepticism - and claiming that the story has been investigated and debunked (when, to my knowledge, it has not).
"nominal" billable time, so it's a combination of things but also included client ability to pay, client acquisition costs (depending on speciality, consults may be free for example), etc.

I think time estimation is pretty hard in a lot of legal work also, you may be prepped for 60 hours work over then next two weeks and then a client phone call derails it entirely. It's not always easy to replace that time.
In Canada, do you even really have a right to privacy when in public spaces like a shopping mall? Is there even a legal expectation that there aren't cameras doing this kind of thing all the time? In most places in the US I know there isn't a right to privacy within a public space. If I as a shop owner put up security cameras in this same fashion in most of the US this wouldn't be against the law. There's no law preventing me from putting up cameras all along my home looking out into the street doing the same.
Einstein was inspired to come up with special relativity from that experiment because he had the relevant concepts to draw upon to think through various thought experiments. That and the math to back up his intuition.
If this system did not error out and display the error messages to the mall shoppers, it would still be unknown.
