> I have done this in part to prove that even individuals on tight budgets can enjoy the free speech benefits of running web servers at home.

I’d caution people against running any kind of controversial thing on their home network. All it takes is a few complaints against your ISP and it will disappear unless you have some business account, and even still.
As much as I dislike him and dislike the idea of the privatization of space, Bezos is also funding a rocket company with his billions, Blue Origin.

It's interesting that he is so vehemently in favor of "cancel culture"

A classic example of Stockholm Syndrome.
Most of Europe did that with their 2nd and 3rd sons. I can't seem to find the source, but I have heard that the flag of South Carolina has a crescent moon on it due to all the minor sons that came there to find their riches (Crescent Moons were common on the heraldry of minor sons).

San Domingue, now Haiti, was also a place where these nobles went off to get rich.

The new world was filled with these kinds of guys.

Then keep wearing a mask. In Asian countries this apparently became part of the general life style after SARS and with generally positive consequences from what you can read.
> Why aren't GrubHub concerned about the legal reprecussions of this?

Because the company is firmly in Team Blue, and they control the House right now.

This is the same organization where the CEO told his employees that if they voted for Trump, they should resign.

The implication being that the coc gives clear guidance on what to do if it does happen

Fun straw man though
The only people who get "canceled" are people who allow it to happen to them.

Every single person who has claimed to have been "canceled" not only brought the entire situation upon themselves, but then immediately turned around and cry foul and try to become the victim in the situation.

Its pretty entertaining and bewildering to see these people –who almost universally bemoan "victim culture"–immediately fallback to those same "tropes" when they do something socially unacceptable.
In principle, I believe codes of conduct are self-evidently a good thing, and generally introduced with good intent. It's the zero-tolerance that's harmful.

In the case of both the imaginary school and the imaginary code-of-conduct committee, the task is to square the unsquarable circle of human diversity. That takes nuance, emotional intelligence and flexibility. You can never get that 100% right, and the mistake is thinking you can. That's where flexibility is important. Zero-tolerance is proudly anti-flexibility.

Either you put in the effort to construct a humane environment or you decide that it's OK to throw the out-group under a bus (easier when you can dehumanize them). The latter takes a lot less work.
This is awesome though Nintendo loves to sue people and this is on github...
SV? Playing catch-up here.
This is a strawman unless I missed where it's being specifically claimed. Obviously posing as the restaurant and serving your own product is fraud.
Grubhub is taking a deliberate action misrepresenting the restaurant and that action is harming the restaurant (in more ways than one). I imagine they can make a successful case but it's going to be a long expensive fight.
State funding sources for scientific research generally /want/ the research to be commercialized and incentivize this. They could require state ownership as condition of funding, but choose not to. A sibling comment cited the Bayh-Dole act, which created the current paradigm of private ownership of inventions stemming from federally funded research contracts. The nominal motivation was that the state had proven to be ineffective at promoting the commercialization and use of the technology resulting from its research contracts. Since then, federal research agencies have implemented programs specifically meant to guide researchers through early-stage commercialization [0] and to provide additional funds to support commercialization [1].

> It is a common human tendency and the US is merely a vanguard of what will eventually be a global reality.

No, it's not. The US is the one pushing other countries to implement US-like copyright laws, as it has a huge music and television entertainment industry and exports entertainment and propaganda to other countries. For most countries if they implement everything the US wants it will only hurt them economically, as they would have to pay more for disproportionally imported entertainment, and politically, as with that much control more propaganda will come from the US and generally forcing people to pay more for something is unpopular. Probably the only countries where local entertainment industries can potentially increase profits from such copyright laws are the countries that have huge music and tv entertainment industries to begin with, i.e. huge countries with large middle class. But those are few.
If you read this and you’re curious, there’s a proof that is fairly easy to follow if you understand eigenvectors. Write the operation that takes the two last elements of the sequence and produces the following two, notice it’s linear, then analyze the eigenvalues of the associated matrix and relate the original operation to the power method.
You'll never be able to completely encode everything. Someone takes offense at criticism or a joke that the vast majority would think was completely inoffensive or someone who cursed once, etc. At that point, you have two choices. Tell them "Welp, no." or at least mildly tap the speaker etc. on the wrist. (Or, I suppose, just lie and tell the person you'll take care of it and then don't.)
>> But that may lead to unfairly low ratings for the restaurant.

> If (say) 30% of the restaurant's patrons choose to get the food via food delivery, why shouldn't those folks' ratings of the food be factored into the restaurant's rating?

If the restaurant has chosen to focus on dine in service because that generates the much of their revenue (alcohol sales, desserts, etc.), it would be a shame if their ratings were damaged by delivery customers. People check ratings/reviews before dining out, so having a bunch of bad reviews due to unwanted delivery could really affect dine in traffic as well. It's not fair to expect the restaurant to cater to these delivery customers when they not actually chosen to run a delivery service.
This is annoying to me because I rarely listen to the trash released under RIAA labels anyway.

Image is very important for restaurants. If a customer has a bad experience, even if it's because of a third party driver they might not order there again. Many restaurants have their own driver, competing with grubhub hurts not just the driver, but the restaurant because they make extra money on deliveries.

I got a mortgage in 2005. Company had problems with fraudulent stuff and class action suit brought against them. Outside of whatever their behavior was that triggered the class action, they had poor service to me as an individual, so I'm not terribly surprised they probably cut many other corners (ethically/legally/etc). Anyway... I got my class action settlement checks yesterday. $71 and $74. w00t.

EDIT: this was more in reaction to "still waiting on those Equifax checks" comment. Just give it another 10 years...

Because Grubhub makes it sound like they're a delivery service that the restaurants hired. On their front page right now, for example, they say "we tell you the restaurants that deliver to that locale" - that's not an accurate description if Grubhub is the one deciding whether to deliver.
Hey there, this is a really interesting sentiment—thanks for sharing your misgivings. I'm George, the cofounder who did our first ~100 interviews. Would love to understand more about what makes you queasy so that we can better address those concerns for our customers.

One thing I'll mention is that all of our interviews are, of course, voluntary. I always begin by telling my guests that if I ask them a question that makes them feel uncomfortable for any reason, I want them to let me know and we can move on. Personally, my experience has been that the people I speak with feel valued when a loved one asks them to tell their stories, and pretty much every person I've spoken with has seemed to enjoy the experience.
Conclusion from the linked analysis:

> We found Biden, on average, paid more for his ads than Trump did. Facebook says that pricing for ads varies based on parameters set by the advertiser and Facebook’s instant auctions system. The company has also said in the past that it subsidizes ads that its algorithms view as more engaging. Without greater transparency as to how Facebook prices ads, we cannot say conclusively why the difference in prices charged to the presidential campaigns occurred.

I’m trying to connect this with a point made in the article, itself:

> The sort of differential pricing for political advertising that The Markup found would be illegal or unconventional in other media. Federal laws require TV stations to charge candidates the same price—the lowest that they charge any advertiser—for ads. Some states forbid newspaper publishers to charge one candidate a higher price.

But what happens if candidate 1 chose prime time slots and candidate 2 did not...seems unlikely they would be charged the same price. The analysis also says

> Facebook does not disclose in its ad library one key piece of information: whom the ads were targeted at using its audience microtargeting tools. Nor does it disclose a campaign’s “objective”—whether it’s just getting its ads in front of the voters, or other goals like raising money, gathering email addresses, or getting users to watch a video all the way through.

So: “Biden paid more and we don’t have enough info to say why, let alone whether this is somehow unfair.” Is that it?
I know there's been a lot of criticism of the details of the settlement, but Purdue Pharma was sued out of existence by the DOJ last week.
Sounds very likely. As much as one might want to help, unless your trained in self defense or you have some kind of weapon yourself, I'd imagine its really hard to interfere.
Especially if the attacker is trained, the outlook for people trying to help isn't exactly great.
their pitch deck https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/codesandbox-...
As a generalist I've been able to find several positions with this strategy, even while hunting for my latest position during the pandemic:

1) Don't over-filter. Take the time to manually skim each job posting on high-quality job lists, like the HN who's hiring. As a generalist I tend to be a good fit for smaller teams that have diverse problems and individuals I can connect with. Those individuals usually make more open ended job postings that don't sift well through most filters. Additionally, you'll get a better sense of where the job market as a whole is at.

2) Make extra effort in your initial outreach to a few positions. Surprisingly "cover letters" are still effective if they're presented in the right way and through the right channels. A form cover letter may be ignored, but a freshly written pitch for a particular job listing can stand out.

3) Don't copy-paste until you have your pitch figured out. If you're like me you'll find yourself rephrasing it slightly each time you write an initial outreach, and eventually you'll find the common elements that make their way into each. Try to make your pitch shorter each time while keeping those commonalities. A shorter pitch is more likely to be read.
Is that not a problem with the training / education of entry level.

This was the problem the raspberry pi was designed for GCSE and A Level students to actually get hands on experience, so that when you go to to university you had at least the basics.
It also frustrating that the same “experts” are sowing FUD on the vaccine effort. Of course they’ll eventually chastise people who now have their fears confirmed and become suspicious.
I actually disagree

The whole point is that the legal system is very slow, very hard to report to, and in some cases actively discourages assault / rape claims. CoCs can do better because they don't require as involved of a process

I'm not too worried about someone being banned from an event on hearsay, but I am very concerned about serial harassers

The former, while unfortunate, is not career ending. It just means they can't go back to that event. The latter scars many people and will likely cause some of them to leave tech. Also none of them will ever come back to that event.
> I don't see anything intrinsically wrong with what GrubHub is doing, but I could see them needing to clearly note the relationship. There are lots of personal shopping/delivery services which phone in orders and go pick something up without having a pre-existing relationship with the restaurant.

The problem is that Grubhub is not asking permission to list the business on their site and it borders on abusive behavior. The said business may have an ordering system already or a phone number to order because they simply don't to share a hefty cut with Grubhub. Why they don't simply ask for permission? Because some restaurants wouldn't give it and Grubhub forces their hand. I think this is what this lawsuit is about.

> That's clearly some kind of fraud or misrepresentation.

I don't really understand this point of view.

They're saying you'll get food from restaurant X. That's exactly what you do get, at the price you agreed.

I can't conceive how that's fraud or misrepresentation?

In my experience, Alice moves on to a cool new project to greenfield while Betsy gets stuck supporting Alices creation until they eventually get on-call burnout and quit. Alice checks in only when there's enough noise made either by angry customers, cto or angry SREs.

That's my 10yrs+ ops experience, at least, and this is hugely exacerbated if Alice is put on such a high pedestal that they don't even have to be on-call with Betty at any point of the lifecycle.

It’s not a objective description. It’s a subjective one. You’re describing the intent of other people, which is really your interpretation of their intent.
The legal basis of the linked class-action is the Trademark Act of 1946, and the claim is that Grubhub has infringed on the claimants' trademarks by presenting itself as acting in cooperation with the affected restaurants, even though it has actually been acting unilaterally.

So the claim is less a middle man saying "We'll deliver you food from Lou's Diner", and more putting out ads for Lou's Diner with their own phone number in and delivering from Lou's Diner
On the decimal expansion part, 1⁄7 has always fascinated me, having something very similar going on. Doubling from 7, you get 14, 28, 56; and 1⁄7 is 0.1̅4̅2̅8̅5̅7̅, 2⁄7 is 0.2̅8̅5̅7̅1̅4̅, 3⁄7 is 0.4̅2̅8̅5̅7̅1̅, &c. (just changing which digit you start the recurring sequence with). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/142,857 talks about it a bit more; the doubling sequence thing is covered in the section 1⁄7 as an infinite sequence (including the reason the recurring decimal has 57 instead of 56—that 56 doubled is 112, so the hundred there overlaps with the six, much as the ten of the 13 adds to the 8 in the 1⁄89 expansion of this article).

Is there a reason why Fauci has been in charge for so long, and that leadership doesn’t cycle? He doesn’t seem particularly impressive or accurate. I don’t see why public health needs a face.

Because it's not all about the mortality rates. Just because the bug doesn't literally end your life doesn't mean you won't be left with long term (expensive) complications or handicaps, that could very well kill you years after you get over the virus.

Per the CDC [1]:

>Among patients with COVID-19, 76.8% had respiratory complications, including pneumonia (70.1%), respiratory failure (46.5%), and ARDS (9.3%). Nonrespiratory complications were frequent, including renal (39.6%), cardiovascular (13.1%), hematologic (6.2%), and neurologic complications (4.1%), as well as sepsis (24.9%) and bacteremia (4.7%); 24.1% of COVID-19 patients had complications involving three or more organ systems. Among COVID-19 patients, nine complications were more prevalent among racial and ethnic minority patients, including respiratory, neurologic, and renal complications, even after adjustment for age and underlying medical conditions.

This isn't the fucking flu, and at this point, it is intentionally dishonest to downplay the effects of the virus.

I’m ready to go right now. We know a lot more about this disease than we did 8 months ago. First and foremost, the strong correlation between severe illness and Vitamin D deficiency, now demonstrated in numerous cohort studies in multiple nations. Combine that with the blood antibody program and we’re actually more prepared for handling this virus than the seasonal flu.
Why blame the people when the leadership has been so shoddy? Here is the same Dr. Fauci on masks as the pandemic was first spreading throughout US: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=PRa6t_e7dgI
we have vacines for lots of viral illnesses. Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Polio rank among the most notable. For a complete list see here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/vaccines-list.html

We are looking at 30 years of covid insofar as we are looking at 30 years of Measles, 30 years of Polio, or 30 years of Cholera. The point is, if you get your vaccinations, you can live a "normal" life and worry about catching covid as much as you worry about catching measles.

How is it "arguably terrorism" and not extortion?
If you have years or decades of experience you should have a large network of colleagues to get leads and jobs from.

Clearly I've failed here. I've kept in touch with a few folks from previous jobs via LinkedIn or whatnot, but as a network, I'd describe it as "thin and weakly connected." Part of that is due to being an introvert and generally terrible at maintaining long term human connections. And part of it is a certain indifference I've had in the past to actively managing my career, which in an of itself is a result of how generally easy it's been to find work. Curious if I'm alone in this?
As an anti-speciest vegetarian, I believe it would be murder to turn off a machine that develops a sense of self-consciousness or of preferences.
> The problem is that Grubhub is not asking permission

But nothing says they have to as far as I know? Do you have to ask permission from an author before you resell a book you own?

> because they simply don't to share a hefty cut with Grubhub

They don't have to share a cut in this case. The restaurant still gets the full retail price that they set. Grubhub marks up on top of that or takes it as a loss as I understand.

> Why they don't simply ask for permission?

They don't want to. Do they need any more reason than that?

Coincidence of Noticing Things, in Action
I made a post 11 days ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24814634) about a wikipeida page regarding things evolving into crabs. Then today I see this youtube video on trending (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvfR3XLXPvw) talking about this very same concept. This is a very niche subject so I am surprised by its relative frequent appearances.

This thing has happened to me before, so I finally decided to look up what its called.
> Can you expand on this, explain the connection? In particular, why the former (belief) would influence the latter (behavior)?

It's not universally the case, to be sure. If you voice your belief that women are intellectually inferior, you will likely make them feel excluded. In general, there is a relationship between a person's beliefs and behaviors which I regard as self-evident.

> Edit: answer to your second question: I try to be inclusive, I don't believe in drawing lines, at least not when it comes to belief (only behavior).

People tend to act in accordance with their beliefs. I don't think I track your perspective. Do you really believe that, say, a person with white supremecist beliefs, again, as an extreme example, will generally act welcoming toward minorities? You seem to believe, well, as long as they don't explicitly disrespect someone, it's fine. But social behavior is a lot more subtle. People can tell if you hate them.
I can buy this, if the customer is ordering directly from the restaurant and Grubhub delivers that order. Because that's what a subcontractor relationship looks like; you the customer only deal with the primary contractor. But if I order from Grubhub, I am explicitly asking them to be a middle man, no?
That people would suggest screen time, rather than pollution and exposure to chemicals which impact brain development seems unlikely.

BPA, atrazine, PM2.5 air pollution, dozens of chemicals classified as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) which are nonetheless present in everyday items and our drinking water.

Assuming humanity survives another couple hundred years, I assume people will look back on our current situation as akin to drinking from lead cups.
