The idea behind a Skinnerbox is it keeps the subjects performing the action even after they're satiated. So, if you wanted the magpies to keep collecting bottle caps even after they've had enough to eat, it might be helpful.

Sure, not everyone agrees on where HN leans politically. There is no all-encompassing autoritative data, and plenty of room for interpretation and debate. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on the topic and I have mine.
Maybe the quoted author was a bit flippant in their comment, but to put it another way, wouldn't you agree that if someone were to say "Salesforce is letting people spread fake news" or "Atlassian has a contract with ICE" that there would be relatively less interest and clicks on the headlines? The fact that the consumer-oriented tech companies are on peoples' minds makes a difference whether it's worth going after them.
you wouldn't say that if you had to grind a life out in the lower tech companies in india.

IT STILL IS! I have been attending museum lectures and college department lectures for decades. I prefer recent research results than something pedagogical.

2020 has changed how this done with many of them going online (or in suspension). There are dozens to choose from each week during the academic term. I prefer my alma maters where my alumni email addresses give me automatic registration and I dont have to plead with the gatekeeper.
This is not specific to India. Edu scams exist everywhere. However this is in India.
The irony here is that you're still optimizing, we're just arguing about heuristics. I find it to be a very difficult thought experiment to consciously avoid optimization. Maybe the key might be to stop thinking and/or live without intention...?
If there are provable differences that effect performance, by all means cite them. But it's more likely that unseen bias affects hiring and promotions.

That's fair. But how much of advertising actually informs you of a new and useful product? Vs how much just tries to upsell you, convince you you want something you didn't want 5 minutes ago, or push brands that add nothing substancice?

I know I'm a cynical uni bomber type, I don't expect anyone to 100% agree or for adverts to disappear. But dwhen was the last time an advert actually informed you of a product you didn't know about and would have been interested in buying if it weren't advertised to make it so?

Most modern advertising is a less than zero sum game for the consumer.

It all suddenly makes more sense if you allow a forbidden assumption that women are statistically less likely to flip out and start a competing company, instead of just being a cog in the machine. Or to feel superior to their boss, and do some political maneuvering to take over his position.

It also artificially limits the demand for men (lowering the salary costs) and normalizes dual-income families where 2 people have to work full-time to afford the same quality of life that the previous generation could get from a single salary.
> And that if there are evidence or facts that overturns their current belief, they'll gladly accept it. There are no such equivalence in religion.

It is explicitly the role of a Prophet, Messiah, Bodhisattva, etc. to do such things — introduce new evidence that overturns or convolutes current beliefs

The day to day practice of all established religions involves reasoning through a historical lineage of commentaries on existing evidence and continually appending to it with new instances. Religion exists at the intersection of jurisprudence (what should be?) and the scientific method (what is true?). Both Law and Science are human philosophies that directly descended from religious primitives.
Postfix's architecture is the classic UNIX style of "do one thing and do it well", of composable processes.

So it's not a monolith, it's a composite. If that makes sense.

Sure, the components of postfix are not standalone tools, they are very much like systemd. One codebase (monorepo, yaay, old is new), sharing a lot of common internal code.

In the end multi-process composite (like oracle and postgresql RDBMSes) or a multi-threaded monolith (like MySQL or anything that runs on a JVM) is not that big of a difference nowadays. Both can be performant, both can be maintained well/efficiently by big teams and by a one-man-army (see how postfix is mostly maintained by Wietse Venema).

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what does the "USD-CLP" column (column I) in the "Ranking" tab stand for?
Here are a few ways the role of a US corporation may not translate everywhere:

- Employers have a direct role in the social safety net, for example choosing health care and retirement savings options for their employees.

- Related to above, because there are limited gov't protections for things like vacation and childcare leave, and firing in general, employer policies form a bigger part of work/life tradeoffs.

- The US workforce has more diversity than most countries along several axes, including race, age, and immigration status, so employer policies about minority protections impact more employees.

Since stances on the policy areas above form the main battleground for American politics, companies make many decisions that are politically valenced.
Support does not (directly) make money, so it is doomed to be seen as a drain. I’ve fought the same battle at every company I’ve worked at, and I’m starting to think it is hopeless.

I'm am guessing you do not live in Hungary, Poland, Brazil or Turkey either.

Everything in the US is political now: face masks, 5G networks, vaccines, mail. Facebook dominates people's lives yet is an endless spam of politics. Google search is facing anti-trust because it is "liberal", while the ISPs and other monopolies are strangely un-molested. Every tech company, apolitical or not, is automatically suspected by half of the country mostly because of their address.

But just for clarity, the major US debate is whether the election was fraudulent or not which is considerably higher stakes than a contest of identity. You can hedge your corporate bets by having no opinion on the mater but necessarily one of those parties is directly subverting the democracy. For anyone ok with that, then silence is undoubtedly a profitable path: why cut your business in half and alienate half of potential customers/employees over mere democracy?
It is simple. Toolmakers are not responsible for moral arbitration. A convicted felon can legally buy a Craftsman wrench, even if he plans to bludgeon someone with it. Craftsman is not responsible for preventing the convicted felon from buying one of their products. And that's fine.

The Lord Of The Rings did not open with "One does not simply walk into Modor". Blade Runner didn't open with "Yes, Rachel is a replicant".

You were confused after 5 seconds _because_ of the way he chose to write his story. It's proof that it was "readable" and well written because you reacted like that. Like you, I spent the first 2/3rds of the post wondering what "gone" meant. When I got to the bit where he came out and said "dead", the whole of the previous ambiguity and confusion resolved in a quite powerful way, almost as though I'd been internally hoping "gone" just meant "they drifted apart after stopping working so closely together". It hit me like a slap when the truth was revealed, which made the feeling of compassion for Ryan's loss and sorry even more bittersweet. I totally appreciated this style. _My_ "personal take" is that your personal take is based on a misunderstanding of the medium you're reading and the authors intentions. (Perhaps not a totally unexpected misunderstanding, given the site we're on and the more usual type of articles HN links to. But I doubt you have too much difficulty getting your head into "API documentation" or "political opinion" mode in the first few sentences if an article, I just don't quite understand why you (and a few other comments) didn't work out "Oh, a personal story piece" and either read it in that mindset or click back if they're not your thing.)

I'm guessing you've never read many murder mysteries? Or watched many crime or medical tv series? Or played Cluedo(/Clue)? Do you think each round of that game should open with "So Professor Plumb did it in the library with the candlestick. Right, you start." Should CSI open with "So we convicted him on DNA evidence found in the back seat of the Uber we linked to his credit card"?
I'm at a loss here. Which value should I change when I try to create different shades of color X? The hue? Brightness? What kind of color encoding should I use?
I feel like this is genuine take. I don’t know your age or anything other that what you wrote, so I’ll relate my experience.

I saw many of these same initiatives beginning as I was moving through high school and college. Being young and generally feeling like I treated people fairly, I assumed that most of the world treated others the same. Sexism seemed antiquated.

Fast forward a couple of decades and the women in my life still get second-guessed, mansplained, faced lowered expectations, and/or past over for promotions.

Some of it is blatant sexism. Some of it is sexism-light, where not being part of the boys’ club leaves them excluded from the power-clique. They still have a markedly different professional experience than I do, because they are women.

Is there a better way to handle this than what you described? Maybe. But I don’t think the need for such support mechanisms has expired yet.
We don't all learn basic reading writing skills. Take a look at the functional illiteracy rate among high school graduates. It's jarring, and doesn't encompass the people who didn't graduate.
In regards to dirt cheap OEM parts from Europe, that's largely stopped.

To add to the what the article is saying RE:safety, the vaccine only stays in one's body for a few days to a week. Then it's gone. Also Moderna made a previous mRNA vaccine for Avian flu that was safe-- no long term side effects.https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2022483?fbclid=I....

It's not just about marking regions and checking them, "effect systems are fundamentally about dynamic dispatch (separating effect from effect handler)" Alexis King
I've worked at a restaurant for years, same with my friends. Good servers know how to not be too pushy. You greet them when they sit down, ask for drinks. You drop off drinks, take an order for appetizers. When you drop off appetizers, you take their food order and look around to check to see if anyone needs refills. You come back with refills, and then bring over the food when it's done. You walk past the table to check if there is any empty dishes to grab, and ask if they need anything else when you do.

Basically, my point is every trip that you need to make anyways, you check the table. If a table is hanging for too long, you start to get a little more pushy, because it's a business that's trying to make money. If it's a busy Saturday night and you have a table that doesn't want to leave, other people have to wait longer for that table, and also the restaurant makes less money. Imagine your annoyance if you make a reservation at a restaurant, and you get sat late because people are taking 3 hours to finish up.

Your point about obligatory tipping and not being able to penalize servers doesn't make any sense. If service is that bad, you just don't tip. If a server yells at you, you talk to the manager or just walk out the door. I've put zero for a tip a few times and no one has given me a hard time, and if they do, your night was already ruined by awful service anyways. Also, if you make it out the door in time, the servers won't even see your check by the time you're gone. If you can't bring yourself not to tip someone, that's on you. It happens ALL THE TIME. Almost every other night a server will tell me that so and so didn't tip, or tipped a dollar, etc.

By the way, none of this is for or against tipping, I'm just explaining my thoughts on the current system.
They probably mean laptop screens. Finding one with full sRGB is very difficult.
They never made any statement about what the product Is, so how can we make a determination about how related the product is to politics?

The example product could be like Trello, but using the boards to organize their family separation programs. It's not directly a political product, but it's a tool that can be used to further some political policy.

What about a SaaS product that provides facial recognition services for any usecase? It's not Directly political, but could definitely be used that way.
Wow this is incredible! I think I may just build one over the festive period.
His point is that the product wasn't related by design, only by adoption. When e.g. Salesforce makes software for tracking workflows and ICE adopts it for managing detention centers, they are forced into making a political choice when they might not have intended to.
actually i was just continuing the satire but it didn't come across as such :) que sera sera

This is the "killer feature" for me when comparing Terraform and CloudFormation. I know they've been working on making CF better, but the way Terraform handles errors (and allows you to pick up from where you left off, instead of waiting around for stuff to roll back) is a lot better suited to tight experimentation and feedback loops.
And the answer was In-Q-Tel and Facebook/Twitter/Google all along. Three birds with one stone: spying, brainwashing, and censorship.

Contrary to your point, I don't think that's a better description. I live in a non-rent control building and received rate increases of 7% and then 12% after, and this was already on top-of-market rent.

I also don't know how well correlated property prices and rent are, especially across countries. I think there are a number of confounding factors such that I'm not sold on how directly it translates.

> “Science” does not agree that climate change is an “existential threat.”

Are you serious? Science is in as much of an agreement about the threat of the climate disaster as they are about the negative health effects of smoking. Sure some scientists might not agree, but they are wrong.

If Zach lives in the Willamette Valley, OR, Zach will in effect be smoking several packs of cigarettes every day every late summer due to increased wild fires. If Zach lives on the Keys in Florida, Zach will like have to find a new home in 40 years. You are not wrong that Zach is likely to have a long life, but you are also wrong in denying that the climate disaster is like to negatively effect Zach in significant ways in the next 40 years.

I read the comment differently. I think it is marvelling at how users who first begin using the internet during a time of pervasive internet ads learn to tune them out, while users who first began using the internet during the time before pervasive internet ads lack this ability. The later group are more likely to block the ads to restore normalcy. The former are more likely to see ads as normal.

> In SF it would be like the "invaders" are bringing the wealth with them but not sharing it

How would they share it though? The entire Bay Area is utterly resistant to anything that might change "neighborhood character" or "harm property prices". Prop 13 has caused housing development to ossify, causing widespread homelessness and misery, but residents find it convenient to blame a tiny fraction of the workforce for all their problems.

This is a terrible argument. Replace politics with religion to see why.

You can try to be clever by listing ways religion might relate to business, but that doesn't change the fact that businesses generally, and in many ways are legally required to, let people do their jobs regardless of their faith. It works just fine.

Everyone knows it's possible to make things more political. Being apolitical means doing the opposite. It's a very simple concept from kindergarten, "more" and "less".

Drawing some strained connection to politics doesn't magically make it impossible for us to say "try to have less politics at work".

If I followed you around all day complaining that you're not vegan enough, you'd suddenly regain the ability to notice that some things are more political and more related to your job than others.
>I can only think of free high-quality education by government as a solution to this aggressive game-the-system and FOMO mentality so deep rooted here.

I am also from India and I am really perplexed and pained by this. Why is it not possible to have a genuine business catering to the same market but with actually good content and trained teachers? If nothing else, WhiteHat Jr has demonstrated that there IS a market and people are willing to pay for educational content. A genuine company might take more time to succeed, but they will eventually win the war, right?

Why are we perennially doomed to be stuck with either scammy companies like these or the mai-baap government doing everything under the sun? The free market seems to be able to solve these problems in other countries. What makes India so unique?
The big one is that he claims that Zuckerberg just ripped off his original code. He lost that one in court.

His opinions on Zuckerberg's personality are heavily flavored by that personal conflict.

Second, Facebook does not have a monopoly. Unfortunately for them, social networks are not that sticky. And they can only continue buying every up and coming social network for so long before they miss the critical one. (Perhaps Tik Tok will turn out to have been the one...)

And finally Facebook is not a Ponzi scheme. I think that they are overvalued. But not Ponzi.
I'm not sure what this comment means. Are you saying we should be at each other's throats in the workplace as well as on social media?

My favorite anecdote is the story of Michael Faraday's unusual education. Being from a blue-collar fundamentalist Christian family he just got an elementary education in reading and arithmetic before apprenticing as a book-binder. However he was an ardent fan of the Royal Society's public science lectures. He eventually wrangled a lab assistantship with the college educated scientist Humphrey Davies, eventually to surpass him in important discoveries.

P.S. in a few months (Sept 21, 1821) is the bicentennial of Faraday's invention of the electric motor- one of the most important inventions of the modern era.
