Can't speak for other FAANGs but this is definitely not true of Amazon India. They have teams working on everything from Alexa to new AWS services, and of course retail as well. Not to mention Amazon India itself which is pretty unique and innovative in its own ways. Amazon also pays a lot compared to most other tech employers in India - a lot less than Amazon US of course, but it's still not just "cheap labour".

(Clinical) depression isn't the same as unhappiness.

The lack of energy to do anything and the general hopelessness are quite different to feeling unhappy or sad.

Situation normal? Are you guys planning on removing other random projects due to invalid/Bogus DMCA takedowns? I really wish you guys would stand up to trolls.
Laconic doesn’t mean lazy.
Faster, yes. But a WASM version would have other advantages: it wouldn't need to be recompiled for each platform, and it would run in a sandbox.
I saw Github's code as a consultants years ago, and I always thought it was crazy that they would ship the whole thing to us. But then I thought, how many employees do they have? Probably enough that security should not rely on the secrecy of the code anymore.
A Quick Look at Kappa and Lambda Architectures
You could set how long the modems would wait for reconnect. We had a service that offered free phone calls with 15 seconds interruption for ads now and then. Worked fine for free bbs time if you knew how to set it :)
The readme clearly states:

> This is GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise

It also contains linting config, ci workflows, dockerfiles, and other build related files that you probably wouldn't put in an "un-stripped/obfuscated tarball of our GitHub Enterprise Server source code"
The colloquialism "to buy the farm" meaning "to die" made this a funny click.

My thought process went from "not really, but let's see what the author is on about" to "ohhh, the kind with acreage not caskets, got it."
Somehow I have the sinking feeling that the most popular "killer app" for webassembly will be circumventing user preferences like "never auto-play" - or thwarting ad blockers.
Making the source code open...

1. is not equal to making it open to collaboration.

2. does not mean they can’t keep making money from it.
I may have been - but it opened up a whole new thought process. Imagine bounded logic competing for resources and otherwise causing mis-appropriated logic. Profound.
IIRC it was an old domain registration in his real name that did him in. He realized it and change it, but the history was still there. Been a while since I read about it, but that seems to stick in my mind as how he ended up being unmasked.

Nadia Eghbal worked at GitHub, so her perspective will be skewed by the dominant influence.

The GitHub way of working has only been around since GitHub launched. Accordingly, the free software and open source communities that predate GitHub had their own ways of working before GitHub came along. Despite the widespread perception that GitHub makes doing open source easy, it comprises a set of practices that can be and are frequently more taxing than the alternatives. If GitHub is all you know, though, or you've forgotten, or you've just not noticed and never measured it, then it's easy to think that the GutHub way embodies the essentials of development in the open, even though its workflows are pretty bloated.
People argued as those regulation not done in 1 month he is under pressure for 1 year. Finally the rumour of sanction come before the possible election of Biden, they force the card and get that up. Then force back. Thus is the final stand not the cause. He has been silenced fir quite a while now. Not to do that just when money is all in — the share has been subscribed and for this cancel just lost to margin interest alone is us$70m.

Do not blame the messenger.

thanks dude, I tried hitting the Code button but it didn't download. Is it really working for you? Interesting, I got an HTTP error from it.
It appears the tools have been changed. Now using Amplitude for user session analytics. I'm not familiar with it, but it appears that at least it's less invasive than Hotjar. I don't have the time right now to look into it further.

How long does the trial last? For me, these apps are all about working out kinks. The MOMENT I start feeling like it's "work" then it gets ejected out of my flow and at some point I'll circle back to cancel. Between evaluating the basics, such as privacy and testing with a small part of my flow, I probably need a couple weeks.

Can you comment on how you use the analytics?

EDIT: I see the trial is 14 days.

Here is a (soft paywalled) blog post about the "making of" this project. https://itnext.io/build-ffmpeg-webassembly-version-ffmpeg-js...
I feel like anyone would expect this to be guarded against though. There may not be a particular reason to "need" it, but the fact it's even possible is ridiculous.
Yes. It would be great to have something other than corporate non-apologies directly from the CEO.
I'm very much biased by my own experiences (hence my disclaimer that I make no claim to expertise here.) I've personally experienced and witnessed shroom trips being more... primal and emotional? than LSD

To be fair, considering the importance of set and setting, my opinions on the subject may be entirely informed by what I was going through during my trips personally, and what my friends were going through during theirs! Again, not an expert haha

I'd expect, though I suppose I only have my own mind to go on, that most people feel a strong urge to have high status in their community. It would seem like the most consistent explanation for, frankly, almost all human behavior.
> CBT trains you to arrest those thoughts and replace them with thoughts that are constructive

This part is useful to everyone well beyond the scope of depression. Simply becoming aware of one's thoughts is a revelation. Our ability to ride a stream of thoughts without being actively conscious to them is unfortunate; it must have some evolutionary reason, but it also means we can repeat and experience many bad feelings and thought patterns without recognizing that we have some choice in whether to allow them to run free or to shut them down/replace them.
I hope that I won't need to search in a thousand of githubs for each npm packet I need in near future.
This dark joke comes from back in the day when if an airplane crashed on your farm you’d get a significant insurance payout from the federal government. So the joke became that the failed pilot “bought the farm.”
Most cars that are stolen had been left unlocked (i.e. the owner did not follow best practices). Should victims of car theft pay for all policing related to auto theft?

Regardless of your answer to that question, you should remember that law enforcement are not there to serve and protect the people, LE are there to serve and protect the system (society and government). Many law enforcement agencies have been sued for failing to protect the citizenry, and their defense is usually that they have no duty to do so.

Yes, you straight-up aren't allowed to post like this:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Even stipulating that your comment had some kind of probative value, the cost to the community of people routinely pulling this shit far outstrips that value; accusations of bad-faith commenting are one of the most corrosive forces on message boards. Demanding users not make those accusations is one of the things HN gets uniquely right.
No Nat, all is NOT right in the world. Right now children are being separated from parents at the border. The "uterus collector" is performing forced hysterectomies on detained women. All of this is being done by ICE, a government organization you have defended and your company supports & profits from: https://github.blog/2019-10-09-github-and-us-government-deve...

So please check yourself before swooping in to make ridiculous statements about the state of the world. The world is NOT right and GitHub is NOT helping.
You should make this a ShowHN I guess. It sounds like you want feedback for your site, more than answers to the actual question you asked. So this felt like misleading clickbait to me.

First, thank you for coming here and responding.

Some people think RIAA’s DMCA notice is not legally valid, arguing RIAA is not the copyright holder and there is no infringing material. DMCA takedowns are for taking down works you own the copyright to; not for enforcing any arbitrary aspect of legislation.

It’s my understanding that service providers do not need to comply with illegal requests.

For example, if I DMCA’d <an oil producer>’s repository on accused violations of environmental protection acts, I don’t think it would be taken down, would it?

If GitHub was an independent company advocating for open source; would it have acted any different?

Note: Microsoft is a member of the RIAA.

Apple made waves and built lots of favour for resisting the FBI and challenging quasi-legal processes. They took risks and demonstrated their principles (Suing the FBI over a terrorist’s iPhone is unlikely to be the first recommendation from their legal counsel).

This smells like a qausi-legal process, and it would look great for GitHub/Microsoft if you do.
The 1995 paper compares Self 1 and 2 which was a JIT which was based on type inference with Self 3 and 4 which was an adaptive compiler (where Java's Hotspot technology came from) which was able to use type feedback thanks to the second compiler having access to the results of running code from the first compiler.

So AOT compilation was not tested in that paper.

Who we are with is very important. For some people (myself included), the percentage of people who are beneficial to be around is very low compared to the general population.

And since so few people result in positive experiences (and since solitude doesn't usually cause feelings of sadness, but rather freedom), I would usually choose to be alone.

Given a choice, I would like 60% total solitude, 10-20% general human interaction, and the rest ideally the good meaningful, connective relationships.
A question about your DMCA policy – the 10-14 day wait before you restore access in case of a DMCA counter-notice, is that mandated by the DMCA or is that just your own policy?

It seems to me that this could be used to cause a lot of damage – target a popular open source project with a totally bogus DMCA notice, even if they instantly file a counternotice they still get made unavailable for 10+ days.

(Also, why 10-14 days? Why not just 10 days or just 14 days?)
Also Paris accords don't do anything to slow down emissions in China and India the next big ones whereas USA is clearly showing some progress. I think with major solar improvements in the next decade and incredible price decreases things are looking a lot better. I hope for nuclear to supplement that but it looks like the world at large just isn't ready to get over their unnecessary, irrational fear of nuclear, except maybe China.

I would say wash it thru Monero and then mix it, from there if I were the illicit type I would try to do offline exchanges with gold bugs who are also crypto enthusiast to get it into hard assets. 1 Billion in gold is actually only about a half a semi-load full, it would take some time but assuming you fractured it into a bunch of different monero wallets, you have time on your side. If one get's compromised you take what you have and run. Because it would be safe to assume at that point that there are tools monitoring the chain by state level actors that none of us are privy to. If you are going to live that life paranoia is key.
This seems so evil yet it's an accepted part of law?
The keyboard matrix driver is on the main board, and there’s no access to the USB2 bus that connects the matrix driver to the USB controller. So you would have to run the whole Raspberry Pi in USB “gadget mode”, so it pretends to be a device rather than a host. The USB-C power port can also support USB-2 OTG in gadget mode (but it has no high bandwidth features).
What incentive do they have to keep it open, though? People who already needed to read the source code (like security researchers) don't need the complete unobfuscated source in the first place. It would likely cost GitHub money in frivolous support queries.
Off-topic but what is the original source of the trend of talks/articles that start with "So you want to..."? I find it very annoying, though I don't know why.

Even if the LED remained on, the victim would be powerless to do anything about the picture that was taken. I've seen videos on youtube of scammers doing this to blackmail their victims.

Kill switches should be mechanical and should physically disconnect the device from the system. Kill switches and lights that are controllable by software will be exploited.

>There have been more studies on CBT than any other form of therapy, and those studies suffer from the same replication crisis that the rest of social science research does.

More studies showing the same results means they aren't suffering from the replication crisis, even if the exact same study isn't being replicated.

CBT isn't for everyone, that is true. And you shouldn't worry or blame yourself if it didn't work, there are more options available. But I wouldn't cast doubt's on it's overall efficacy or claim it's junk science.
It’s maybe a bit pokey

That's exactly why I don't use iCloud Drive very much.

I recently copied something there from my laptop. A half an hour later it still wasn't visible from my iPhone. And I saw no obvious way to force a sync of any sort.

It's incredible to me that very very basic functionality is so poorly implemented nowadays. (This isn't Apple specific).
That depends on how "dirty" your electricity is, and maybe on how much dirty energy your clean energy could have displaced? My laptop runs mostly on nuclear power with most of the rest from some kind of "renewable" energy.
Most viruses breed in “reservoir” populations, then cross species with unpredictable effect.

This is why we had a “bird flu” or “pig flu”, and so on.

Coronaviruses cross between mammals all the time, mutate, and create new strains. This is why there is no cold vaccine (and why the flu vaccine changes each year, and is usually only 60-80% effective).

So, to answer your questions: (1) It is not any more worrisome than the news we had back in March. (2) It certainly has already and will continue to mutate in other animals. Should we be concerned? I guess. I made peace with this inevitable outcome months ago.

I feel sorry for the minks. I hope they don’t start testing other types of mammals and then decide to pursue wholesale eradication of local ecosystems and livestock.

Doing that is clearly a non-starter (the food chain would collapse). However, it is necessary-but-not-sufficient to prevent new coronavirus strains from popping up.
Well, it seems like all the pro and anti "sex robots" articles jump from present day animated sex dolls to full, credible simulations of a human sexual partner. That's quite a leap indeed. If you have that, a lot of other things would change certainly but there's no indication that this is about to happen.
What section of this document were you following when you decided to take down a repo without any copyright infrigement?
I did not mean to exaggerate, just to demonstrate that in the world we live in, barriers to action are rarely physical, but moral and legal.

It's not that people do not pick locks because locks are so secure. It's because lock is polite way to say "do not enter here" and almost everyone respects that. If someone wants not to respect it, there are a multitude of YouTube channels showing how trivially easy it is to bypass it. But then, the legal aspect kicks in and punishments follow.

The same with stealing. It is trivially easy to steal. Moral code stops most people. Legal code punishes the rest.

Anything in our world can be "so easily acquired" if one does not care about laws and ethics. In that sense, the question posed in the original comment seems utterly bizarre to me. If anything that could be easily acquired were to be released for free, almost everything in the world should be released for free.
Even better. There are youtube videos of people setting up homesteads all over the US. Buying property, clearing land, raising animals, planting crops, logging, etc. It's mostly geared towards the family farm, but I'm sure there are channels of large scale business farms.

> Last thing we want is for other companies like GitHub to think, "wow Apple was right, maximum engineering secrecy by default is the way to go."

Well, "maximum engineering secrecy" would be not releasing the source code to XNU. Apple is very secretive overall, to be sure, but not in this one respect.

I'm glad that XNU's source code is available—it lets you do a number of neat things. I wish more was available, but I'll take what we can get.

By extension, I don't support the idea that there's no point in releasing source code if you can't also release documentation and review outside pull requests. Making a tool available to the public is always better than hoarding information. All the other stuff is even better, but code is code.

---

All of that said, I recognize that for Github specifically, releasing code and not engaging with it might be a bad look, because their product is a code sharing platform. I don't think that applies to most companies, though.

a legalization bill without “grow grow your own” provisions is better than nothing, but is not consumer or citizen freedom respecting.

Laundry is a never-ending chore
Possibly-related, I wrote much of my undergraduate thesis on how experts (or rather, just people with lots of experience in a field) see or hear differences where non-experts see none.

To a regular person, the cloaca of male and female baby chicks look identical, but to a chicken sexer who sorts hundreds of baby chicks a day, they look totally different, even if the person can't describe exactly how. To expert radiologists, a shadow in an x-ray is almost certainly cancer, while a non-expert can't see any shadow at all.

Similarly, and more mundanely, in languages where there isn't a strong meaningful distinction between two sounds, speakers have trouble discerning them. To a monolingual native Japanese person, /r/ and /l/ sound almost identical, while a native English speaker can't understand how they don't hear the difference. To a French person, the "oo" sounds in au dessus (on top) and au dessous (underneath) sound completely different, yet to an English person they are almost indistinguishable.

These are really the same phenomena, and why an expert bird watcher would have no trouble recognizing the "sack of potatoes" flight of a bird.

> I seriously doubt there's anything in my stuff that is so proprietary that I'm afraid it will get ripped off.

It depends. Figuring out how to design a large system still takes an appreciable amount of time even if you only end up gluing a bunch of other stuff together at the end of the day. And chances are you have something original in there somewhere. If the market is particularly cutthroat it might be a bad idea to risk giving your competitors even a slight edge.

I do appreciate the sentiment of proprietary source available projects though!
According to caniuse some headers are necessary for it to work on Firefox. I guess the developer has to fix the demo.

It depends on the work at hand.

For a brand-new feature, I work very closely with the UX team (well, UX person). For minor changes, not at all.

Generally, the UX person and the frontend person will work very closely together when working on web app features. When I'm on the backend, I have zero interaction with UX.
