1. Who cares, it's a made up keynote presentation at a made up conference with made up rules.

The whole point of a conference is to present, so it makes someone else angry, they were shown they were wrong and it was not personal attack(s) based on "protected" statuses.
This seems very expensive, I’m pretty sure there are cheaper alternatives.
UBI is an ideological conundrum for most of America. We all voted down free $1000/mo and Medicare For All when Yang and Bernie were eliminated in the Democratic Primary. That just shows how much we are driven out of spite and a one-sided mentality.

Also Joe Biden wants to cut social security so good luck with that happening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X3UiSvgle0
I would have thought embedded generally meant a bit more streamlined than running Dart as well. Something like https://lvgl.io (which I just heard about yesterday, thanks HN!)
Really it's the regulatory environment. It treats any change as potentially life threatening. Imagine if you had to prove that none of your changes could possibly risk patient safety to people who think automated tests can't be trusted because they can be written to simply print "PASS" all the time.

Earlier this year I had the occasion to do some reading on self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-love. I think this critique is a bit divorced from what the psychologists are actually saying.

For starters, the "movement" is definitely aware of your dichotomy. The terms of art are contingent and non-contingent. It considers contingent self-esteem to be fragile because real lives contain setbacks. Its position is basically Stoicism: prefer an inner well-being, unperturbed by circumstances. Don't get overwhelmed by the ups and downs. It also contains echoes of Christianity: inherent dignity of all life, unconditional acceptance and love of all God's creatures.

Narcissism is in your relationship to how people perceive you... that would be squarely in the "contingent" category.

We might argue that of course a highly successful person feels inadequate; if he could be satisfied at all he would have been satisfied many achievements ago, and stopped there.

That's got a list of some info, my understanding is that you can take information like that and look at other attack to start to see if there are elements in common to give you more overall information about the group possibly responsible, and how to detect the group again more quickly next time, to possibly jump in and deal with the problem before it leads to exfiltration or destruction or whatever bad thing you're trying to avoid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhjQ6zsCVSc talks a bit about how to detect UNC1878.

It sounds, specifically, like Hold Security is monitoring criminal communication and picked up a reference to this campaign ahead of the execution. Combined with the subsequent follow-through, it would be pretty straightforward to attribute the folks who said, "We're going to do this thing soon" as the folks who then ended up doing exactly that thing.

For what it's worth, I know nothing more about this than what was presented in the article.
I’m not sure what their operation achieves. Citizens of a democracy and state of law will, of course, trust an official letter from a public government body and believe what it says. What’s the big surprise here? “If we send a letter with fake info but make it look like it was sent by the provincial wildlife dept, people will believe what it says. Hahaha what a bunch of idiots these citizens”

Especially that the wildlife department has so little incentive to lie when you think about it: what are they selling? I would have trusted that the letter contains true information myself without really questioning it.

It’s concerning this happened at all, but I don’t see the value of this “experiment”.
Fantastic idea! I find it really hard to give meaningful presents to people I care about. They already have everything they need, so often it's just food, wine, etc. For kids (that already have way too much toys) it's just more toys. Giving a heart warming experience is so much better, and your idea really makes that easier.

No, the goal is to swap them out during the day.

When I'm seriously on-the-move, and the phone is critical to the mission, and I'm not able to be attached to a cord or carry a bulky external battery bank - a few thin, flat lithium batteries are an ideal solution. I'm talking about situations where high availability is key. Sometimes I bring 2 or 3 backup phones just in case, all the same model, and they all take the same batteries. It wasn't uncommon for me to have about 8 spare batteries on some trips. Half the batteries were always charging at a base station, and I would swap those out in a few seconds and get back out where I needed to be. Yeah it's not everyone's situation, but now I just need to have 4 or 5 devices instead, and have to use a stupid external charger which never does what I need it to. Operationally it's made me suffer having to use modern devices without removable batteries.

Charging from an external battery bank is just not ideal, it's inefficient, and bulky, and increases the heat of the device while charging which can actually be a problem in some situations.

Changing batteries takes less than a minute, creates no additional heat, and restores the device to 100% instantly.

I did this with every phone I had before they took the option away from flagship phones.
Fox News literally argued in court that Tucker Carlson is exempt from slander accusations because the show is purely entertainment and no reasonable person would believe that the claims he makes are factual.

That's a function of your runtime dynamic linker, which is most likely provided by glibc (on linux). I believe it supports a.out still; at the very least, it used to.
I think the biggest symptom of a legacy code is exactly "better not touch unless absolutely necessary because I have no idea what I am going to break".

i.e. on a greenfield project if your expectations and application behavior disagree, the application is wrong. On a legacy code base if your expectations and the application behavior disagree, your expectations are probably wrong.

When someone asks the question "why does the application do this?" there is no one to answer the question, but everyone assumes it's probably pretty important.

> But there are legacy apps with good test coverage (typically another can of worms)

100% this. Unit tests are usually so sensitive to changes they'll break as often for a buggy fix and a bugless one. Last app I worked on I broke 12 unit tests without introducing a single bug. Sometimes on a truly legacy app a unit test can break and you have no idea if you should change the unit test or your code.
Thanks for sharing. I didn't know about that. I watched a few episodes of Carlson on rioting and critical race theory with blatant racism against white people in Seattle city government. Those were shocking news, and Carlson's attack was forceful yet followed common sense.
So, you are essentially saying that regardless of degree caloric surplus, if one is in a state of ketosis they will perpetually loose fat?

It sounds to me like should that be the case (which, sorry I'm rather dubious about), a particular portion of energy conversion is not yet understood rather than the first law of thermodynamics being violated.

I don't claim to be an expert in this area however, so I'll be willing to read any scientific papers you may have to hand on the subject (and while this may come across as sarcastic - it's just my inability to express what I am saying adequately via typing - I'm a true believer that every day is a school day)
A way to defeat death.. maybe. I am nearing the 40's and I am self studying math and more motivated than ever. For me, it is more satisfying an urge to know more and not waste my gifts by sitting in front of the tv the whole day.
Not an operation but:

Barry Marshall drank the bacteria Helicobacter pylori to prove it's involvement in gastritis and ulcers.

Before that everybody assumed bacteria wouldn't survive stomach acid and these sicknesses were causes by stress.

He treated with antibiotics afterwards and got the nobel-price.
As someone who fights for increased government transparency, this is all sorts of troubling. But as a former political hack? Gotta admire the strategy.

And it's replicable across other industries and geographies.

Broad example: Phoenix and Las Vegas (or, at a higher level, Arizona and Nevada) might like to see California squeeze businesses tighter -- it would encourage migration.
From one of the links you said they should read:

"Haqqani - one of bin Laden's closest associates in the 1980s - received direct cash payments from CIA agents, without the mediation of the ISI.

"This independent source of funding gave Haqqani disproportionate influence over the mujahideen."

"Haqqani and his network played an important role in the formation and growth of al Qaeda, with Jalalhuddin Haqqani allowing bin Laden to train mujahideen volunteers in Haqqani territory and build extensive infrastructure there."

From a more extensive page linked from there:

"Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, an associate of Bin Laden's, was given visas to enter the US on four occasions by the CIA [...] Rahman was a co-plotter of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing."

"Afghan Arabs 'benefited indirectly from the CIA's funding, through the ISI and resistance organizations [...] at an estimated cost of $800 million in the years up to and including 1988'"

"The Guardian alleges that the CIA helped Osama bin Laden build an underground camp at Khost, which bin Laden used to train Mujahideen soldiers."

In a 2004 article entitled "Al-Qaeda's origins and links", the BBC wrote:

"During the anti-Soviet war Bin Laden and his fighters received American and Saudi funding. Some analysts believe Bin Laden himself had security training from the CIA."

"Two-time Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto said Osama bin Laden was initially pro-American [and] Robin Cook, Foreign Secretary in the UK from 1997–2001, wrote, 'Throughout the '80s [Bin Laden] was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis'.

And what do the Saudis have to say about it?

Prince Bandar bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia stated (in the wake of 9/11):

"He [Osama bin Laden] came to thank me for my efforts to bring the Americans, our friends, to help us against the atheists, he said the communists. Isn't it ironic?"

The problem is then you'd have to use PHP or Ruby. Much as people say they've improved, they're not better than TypeScript. I wish someone made something like Laravel for TS. Sometimes I look at Laravel and think, sure it's great that they did all of that and are even making a bunch of money, but why did it have to be PHP of all languages?
Hey... Thanks for mentioning Bookfinder. Seems like a great resource. I ordered a copy myself as well. :)
> But nearly 60 years after the pulse was first observed, no one has managed to figure it out. That may be because, as far as seismologists are concerned, it’s just not really a priority. “There are certain things that we concentrate on in seismology,” explains Wiens. “We want to determine the structure beneath the continents, things like that. This is just a little bit outside what we would typically study … [since] it doesn’t have anything to do with understanding the deep structure of the Earth.”

> That doesn’t mean it’s not worth studying, Ritzwoller adds.

Similar arguments were made in defense of the Daily Show and Colbert Report (e.g. "just comedy shows"), yet those shows also often touched on big issues neglected by mainstream news.
Somebody answered it above.

Microsoft have zero intention, zero incentives, zero interest in Banking, Finance or Insurance. Even if they have such a thought right now, nothing they are doing have shown it.

Amazon has a clear vision, records, and chances to enter those segment. Selling Health, Car insurance, Banking, Credit Card to their Amazon Prime Member.

That is the problem with being a platform. It is the same reason why business dislike what Apple are doing with their services and IAP.
Like any other system of laws, a code of conduct necessarily restricts the boundaries of what one individual is allowed to do in order to ensure there is a safe space for others. When used correctly, instead of inhibiting the free exchange of ideas, a CoC helps keep participants in an open and receptive mindset instead of a closed and defensive one.

Acknowledging that people come from different backgrounds or belief systems where norms and customs are different, a good code of conduct offers a concise and easy-to-understand set of core expectations that the participants in a community agree to follow, along with a mechanism for reporting and curing violations when they occur. Curing violations should typically involve helping members learn and adopt better ways to communicate their ideas and interact with others, rather than shaming or punishing them for lacking these skills or for having a bad day.

As a gross example, a functioning code of conduct should make the difference between someone saying “I don’t understand why anyone would believe X”, which is an open statement that invites thoughtful discussion, versus “X is stupid and anyone who believes it is an idiot”, which is a closed statement that triggers fighting instead. Or, it should make the difference between someone making sexual advances at a professional conference because they think it’s what the other person wants, versus someone not engaging in that behaviour—even if they still think that—because it’s outside of the norms listed in the code of conduct.

It is certainly the case that codes of conduct are sometimes abused to create cultural echo chambers[0]. This isn’t because the concept of a code of conduct is flawed; rather, it is often (in my experience) because people adopt CoCs without having the knowledge and skill necessary to administer them. When this happens, the CoC can become a mechanism for suppressing disagreement instead of a mechanism for creating a healthy environment where ideas and relationships can thrive despite disagreement.

USC business communications professor Greg Patton was replaced after he used Chinese as an example for pause words that are used in many languages. Phonetically written, the Chinese "Um, um" is "ne ga ne ga", and The Black MBA Candidates Class of 2022 complained to the school, which then removed the professor. Despite counter-protest letters signed by many other students, including many Chinese alumni, who state that the normal usage of the Chinese language should not be viewed as a pejorative, the professor was not reinstated.

He may not support them, but in the current culture you have to pretend to otherwise people might think you're a sexist or a racist. I don't support them, but I pretend to.
Most people know what is or isn't acceptable through common sense. A racist or sexual assaulter isn't going to think "Wait, does this violate the code of conduct?"

Every conference doesn't need to go to the trouble of working out some flawless unambiguous list of rules and every attendee doesn't need to read them. If someone is causing a problem eject, ban, or call the police. No CoC needed.
Cyber attacks are probably the least interesting enterprise that North Korea is involved in [1]

They're also involved quite heavily in the illegal drug trade and bootlegging cigarettes and alcohol, using their embassies and diplomats as a distribution network, as well as counterfeiting currency and pharmaceuticals, running an international restaurant chain [2], building statues for tinpot dictators [3], shipping citizens off to Russia as "contract workers", smuggling ivory, trafficking arms, and previously leased out embassy buildings in Berlin to a hostel [4]

It's not an uncommon pattern. Consider salmon, which travel upriver to spawn then die.
It's not about other older people doing it. If they enjoy doing it, great for them.

I never learned to ski or skate, so I have to ask myself why should I learn to do that instead of some other physical activity I already enjoy.

And, to be fair, as a kid I never learned to ski or skate for good reason. The kids who skied or skated always seemed to have lots and lots of broken bones. Nah, I'll pass. I've got other sports I like that don't seem to bust my bones up.
Is it appropriate to note that NPR is funded by special interests like the Rockefeller foundation? Does the resulting politically charged coverage constitute 'election meddling'?

It's not that Tucker's an oracle. It's that sometime in the last 30 years the tenets of the journalistic priesthood have changed. In the past the (aspirational) goal was to provide the public with the facts; now it's to provide the (interpreted) Truth.

Biased media is nothing new. It just used to be biased in different, opposing directions. What's new is that journalists finally found something they could all agree on: pro-journalism!
I think extending the metaphor to bombs is a bit much. It's more like if the U.S. accidentally bombs a civilian caravan and the response is "we should stop trying to assassinate terrorists" in other countries.

I wouldn't call that an "invalid" opinion or critique, and again I would think it's an expected reaction. But it would be overly broad, based solely on that incident. Of course we don't exist in a vacuum, so I'd expect that other information would be brought in to support such an argument. Fair enough.

However, an argument that draws an isomorphic relationship between the ability to target a document and the ability to target a bomb is probably attempting to draw outside the lines.

(Particularly since in this case, it's equivalent to the victim of the bombing being the one who is reporting on the incident and quite clearly stating despite what they've been through "I support the thoughtful bombing of terrorists, but that is not what happened in this case.")

Based on the documentation I read, it looks like Gerrit handles this by grouping changes by topics [1]. I'm not sure whether that can be done automatically when pushing up changes that span multiple commits in a local branch.

If I create a branch with several commits where one commit adds a new method with associated unit tests, and a subsequent commit adds several calls to that new method in the code base (while updating any affected tests), then how would Gerrit handle the ordering of those commits. Even if they're in the same topic, I don't know if there's a way to ensure that the first commit is reachable from the subsequent commit.

> You have to vote for people to implement those things.

Not really. We didn't vote for Amy Coney Barrett, or anyone else on the supreme court, but ultimately, they -- and the myriad other judges -- are the ones who protect the populace, via rule of law, from a government of any political party interfering in the fundamental rights -- as outlined in the Constitution -- over which the government has no authority to legislate over.

EDIT: That is to say, I am not someone who feels super-well-represented by any political party or candidate. Despite the fact that I prefer Trump over Biden, I don't like everything about the man, by any means. But honestly, whether he wins or not, I don't really care, because I trust our Constitution via the judiciary (and legislation, when necessary) to guarantee to me what I care most about... the freedom to practice my religion and to speak what I think.

To be fair this can go the other way too. There are some big boondoggles caused by upper management listening to IT when they said they needed to make huge investments in refactoring and architecture. The business ends up with a new product that does the same thing, at the cost of millions of dollars that will never be recouped.

Actually, I know more than you do. Let me explain.

The goal of the US left today is to replace our bottom-up democracy with a top-down system where people are not unique, but malleable social constructs that can be manipulated (ie. communism/marxism.) The left is basically copying what the CCP has implemented in China.

If you don't understand what that means, and what the impact is, then you really should find out.
But they know that you won't. Next time you need to buy a can of paint, you'll go back to Lowe's because you figure there's a 99% chance they won't mess it up again, and meanwhile the Home Depot is even further away and not really any better. Meanwhile, companies that provide "good" customer service are continuously preyed upon by customers who waste their time and scam them. Personally, if I were you, I'd just take the L on this one. Someday, someone will solve this problem by opening a business that offers absolutely no returns, no customer services, and charges 10% less. I will shop there gladly.
