Well said. I think these D&I (wait, DEI now) practices are highly questionable and I'm really wondering when companies will get sued for discrimination.
You are correct. The California Constitution, Article 1, section 1 gives each citizen an inalienable right to pursue and obtain privacy.
I mostly agree with you, but on this one:

> Difficult to assess what's going to be a replacement (other than browsing the doc)

Do you know of any better solution than docs? Or better implementations of docs? I struggle to imagine how they could handle this better - but I've been using CF for so long that my imagination is limited.
> As someone who lives outside America, the obvious answer to me is unless your product is directly related to politics, a company as an entity should have no public stance on politics.

Yeah I have intentionally avoided the media and political nonsense of the last decade or so, and it just seems increasingly absurd. Everyone is a radical activist these days. And to radicals, there is no neutral position.
As I understand it, the reason for child separation is that they can't certify that the adult traveling with them is their actual parent, and given that child trafficking is a reality and much worse than potentially being temporarily separated from your parent, I can't see what other solution is at the table ?

Ask HN: How are you performing email flows on your early stage product?
I use mailgun to send transactional emails like email confirmation, password reset, etc.

I need to send a welcome email and welcome series set of emails to start. I can hand code this, I suppose.

But I want to also plan to handle more advanced drip stuff like as described in this submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23070375

Should I be looking more seriously at using a mixpanel partner integration? Are there any self-hosted open-source projects that integrate with mixpanel data pipelines for doing this kind of thing?

I signed up and implemented Mixpanel, expecting to use their messaging feature to trigger sending welcome, drip and other prompting email flows.

However, that product has been deprecated and they want you to use one of their integration partners now.
You do have to climb the ladder far enough to get enough resources be secure and healthy though, and that's becoming increasingly difficult. Memes about millenials never owning a home, being able to afford to have kids, or even being able to retire aren't simply jokes - the way society seems to be is heading means those things might actually come true.

Some things that people want o do require resources, and the number of ways to get those resources is diminishing. We're fortunate in tech to be somewhat shielded from it.
Similar things happen here in my city. Instead of homelessness it's loitering in front of corner bodegas. local government has failed the business, but in this case there is no creative architecture design to stop troublemakers from hanging around the store.
K&R is the best known, but his other books are terrific. Software Tools showed how programs can simultaneously be powerful and simple, and decades later I still use things from Kernighan and Pike. Just today I wrote an AWK one-liner to process a log file.
Yep. But I wouldn't say Kernighan's book was technical. I enjoyed Kernighan's book though.

These books go into about as much detail.

It's more technical history.
Is there evidence for that forced sterilisation claim? I found this Guardian story but it only details an allegation, which hardly cuts it for such a serious crime: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/17/ice-hy...

Someone was telling me that space-x uses hazard/failure-mode identification as the basis of their engineering culture. Is there a good book describing the engineering culture at space x? I find myself as a curious software engineer now dabbling with a hardware product.

Thank you
> Packages in Sid have no guarantees that they'll work

Guarantee is a strong word. Can Arch guarantee this? Occasional breakage is bound to happen with bleeding-edge rolling releases.

> no security team

Weaker guarantees than stable, but that doesn't mean Debian doesn't handle security issues in unstable or testing. It'll be too late if they start dealing with security issues once a package enters stable.

> no support system

Actually, support is the same for any Debian release. https://www.debian.org/support

> Sid isn't meant to be used as a daily driver

That shouldn't matter much for people who're willing to use Arch as a daily driver.

> if your computer stops working that will be expected in Sid but a gigantic bug in Arch

A gigantic bug but still happens nonetheless.

> Sure, but how up-to-date is Debian testing when compared to Arch?

According to repology, Debian testing has twice the number of latest packages than Arch official [1]. Considering that packages of higher importance tend to be more actively maintained, I'd assume that Debian won't be significantly behind the latest release for packages that exist in both Arch official and Debian.

Only advantage I can think of is that you can just paste it in a shell prompt, if you're not comfortable with making a script, changing permissions, etc.
You’re doing politics.
Just curious, have you been running it long enough to extrapolate that? I have some TTGO boards and they're a mixed bag. On one of the eink ones (which you'd think is the perfect scenario for deep sleep), they used a lipo chip that shuts everything off if the power draw is too low, so if you try to deep sleep the device never wakes back up

You can be informed reading the right resources once a week. Being exposed to news content isn’t the same thing as being informed. And we don’t vote daily..
Thanks for the reply - interesting concern. By analogy, I don't think putting taxes on cigarettes means the state will try to get more people to smoke. I also think it depends on how the money is allocated. Your concern would be strongest, I think, if the money went into some general-purpose fund. But if it funds open-source projects or a data-relations board, then I don't see much cause for concern.

Don't generally share anything other than analytics data. Might upload content to one or more clouds with user permission. Data certainly not easily available to police without a warrant.

Again, not live streamed to police. Access often requested (and typically granted) in person during the course of an investigation.

And again, not live streamed to police. Warrant typically required.
Lots of things break down in boiling water, it's one of the most aggressive solvents we have.
Is it better or worse to have an open panopticon like this (live streamed post privacy), or a closed one where the government & friends get access but normal people do not? At least this this accessible to all.

What architectural changes would such a person or organization make?

Ideally, they would build more small-scale housing in walkable mixed-use neighborhoods so we can reduce the numbers of homeless people on the street.

Being "pro homeless" is ridiculous. We need to be "pro ordinary people with ordinary lives not getting pushed out into the streets by our policies."

Gottlieb wanted to create a way to seize control of people's minds, and he realized it was a two-part process. First, you had to blast away the existing mind. Second, you had to find a way to insert a new mind into that resulting void.

You don't need LSD for this, just expose yourself to media (news, social media, "influencers", etc) and they will helpfully convince you that everything you thought before you encountered them was bad/racist/sexist/conservative/etc. They'll also give you opinions about specific groups of people, and certain people in particular (all of whom you haven't met, nor will you ever meet), and reinforce that every day you continue to consume from them.

Then it's just a matter of swallowing wholesale whatever else they feed you after that.

Online, platforms with downvote systems (HN included) present the apparent legitimacy of certain views over others, and help reinforce what you shouldn't be thinking or voicing (don't get greyed out by posting that!).

The net result is we've sleepwalked into being controlled anyway, except that we contort ourselves justifying why "this is different".
Wasn't it possible to have politely told him 1:1 that talking politics is making you uncomfortable?

Many times managers are just unaware that their actions cause discomfort, and feedback could help and it is on the manager to encourage that process.

> Society is best when people think about how their worst actions effect other people.

In our day to day lives, I use this as a basic character test of both individuals and societies. People fail this inductive-thinking test - "If everyone did what I am about to do, would I like to live in the society that would result?" - all the time. Signs of failure range from lack of civic sense (litter, rash driving etc) all the way to climate change and social collapse.
Then let's hope Apple doesn't alter the deal further.
They are similar.

I think medium catered to bloggers, and gave a space to post easily, and get some extra viewership through their community.

Substack caters to more prominent writers/bloggers who want to charge for their content, and build a following, and handles the logistics of that.

So maybe something like Patreon and Medium combined

I'm not sure but it seems like biodegradable plastics are easier to degrade by design. Most won't degrade under ambient conditions (since you don't want your spoon dissolving into your soup...), but heat is one of the main ways to accelerate breakdown. I dunno if they might degrade into less-toxic compounds, though.
I'd suggest that instead of all of those ''\( \oplus \) denote bitwise XOR operation on two nonnegative integers'', put that before all your maths into a ''Notation: '' line so that you do not have to repeat yourself.
Sure, or you just define the input (the n) to be the number of digits in (the logarithm of) the number you’re summing up to. That’s generally how people talk about big O notation when it comes to basic arithmetic operations, mostly because we’re usually talking about computers with constant-time instructions for basic arithmetic operations (granted, only up to the maximum integer or float supported by the software).

You can to learn to read the headlines without investing an emotional response in reaction to them.

This makes it much easier.

Look at it like more being curious about what kind of a world we must be in, rather than what you are supposed to feel about it (rather, what they want you to feel about it).

Also when you can plainly identify the calls to emotional action in the headlines, then you're free to ignore it; and can just take away what actual content may or may not be there.
On Windows does it use VSS to snapshot the volume and backup open (locked) files?
They're biased, but in a different way. Most people are steered by wrong feelings: they feel strongly about something, although don't quite understand it, and act on those feelings. Techies are less suspectible to feelings (they are deaf in some sense), but they often get trapped in mental illusions, i.e. elaborate mental structures and ideas that incorrectly describe the world.

This is also why techies dont make it far in power structures: they don't get that emotional aspect of human relationships.
1. Use proper monitor resolutions. E.g. 24” FullHD, 27” 2k, 32” 3k, 36” 4k. This affects the distance you have to stay against the monitor.

2. Background lighting. Have a lamp on the back of your screen.

3. Stay perpendicular to the screen. Otherwise one eye gets faster the information than the other and you feel dizy.

4. The phone screens are incredibly strong regarding their lighting. Limit their use, replace with a tabled whenever possible.
> until you have a lot of definitive context for each statement relative to the believer you don't really know how accurate either is

I'm not sure whether you are just historically ignorant or whether you are being deliberately obtuse. The proposition that the Earth is a sphere makes plenty of specific predictions which were confirmed observationally as long ago as ancient Greece.

> If 90% of people believe in God but 60% reject climate change, does that make climate change less real?

What percentage of people believe a proposition is irrelevant from the standpoint of science. The relevant criterion in science is whether a proposition can be tested against observation and experiment, whether, if so, it has been tested, and how the tests came out.

The reason "belief in God" is generally not considered a scientific proposition is that there is no way to test it against observation and experiment, because it makes no particular predictions about what we should observe or what the results of particular experiments should be. Whereas various beliefs about climate change do make such predictions and can be tested.

> what makes God so easy to believe in?

The fact that "belief in God" does not commit you to any specific predictions about what you should observe, so it's easy to adopt such a belief without having to disturb any of your other beliefs. Many scientists, for example, profess to believe in God, and don't seem to see any contradiction with what they do as scientists.

> in the classical definition science is a branch of art as art is the more general term

There is a sense of "art" in which science is one of the arts, yes. But that's not the sense in which I was using the term "art".

I would find politics at work feasible if there weren't people who turned political opinions into issues of safety.

"You voted for Trump? Or, you voted for Prop 123XYZ? I don't feel safe working here anymore. You're putting at risk my existence and my validity as a human being."

How do we move past "I'm in real physical danger because you disagree on my party choice"? Are HR departments currently equipped to tell their employees that perhaps they're being hyperbolic and political disagreements aren't equal to threats of physical violence?

Like many others said here, we're making it more and more unacceptable for people who vote differently in private to work together, which of course leads to more polarization, tribalism, and the formation of echo chambers that self-radicalize.

With this type of direct mind control ruled out they just use propaganda instead. You know the depths they will go to, the type people they will employ, their ability to evade oversight, and the power the have at their disposal.

Now what? Just accept the permanent stain. I refuse to believe their methods are necessary or the best, but they will not go away.

Their ultimate goal is a combinanion of their own self presevation and continual surivival of the country. They wont do anything to purposefully jeapordize either, but everything else is on the table, as history and current events show. Their methods towards these ends are immoral because the methods are shortsighted, lazy, and uncreative. Imagine what better minds could have come up with when you read this article.

There's really not much else to say other than articles like the above to provide specifics.

I can comment wrt the United States, as I already have members of my family there who've established themselves there for a few decades now.

The most common route would be going there for Master's degree (MS or equivalent) and then later finding a job either before or immediately after graduating from your course.

But you can also try other avenues like directly trying for a job via work visa, get someone to sponsor you (via an immigration petition -- but you need a present a valid argument for this and also find someone you trust who've established themselves there), or find a partner there with whom you're willing to cohabitate.

I'd highly recommend trying for EU/Canada (as you mentioned yourself), Aus/NZ over the United States of America-- at least for the next few years until something resembling an immigration reform takes place -- unless if you have folks in the States who're willing to sponsor you or get you a good, well-paying H1B job.

Good luck!
This is classical dilema between affirmative action and meritocracy.

The argument for affirmative action goes that any special treatment only counters the biases and limitations you don't face and they do.

The argument against affirmative action is that it is very hard to remove preferential treatment once it is in place even if it no longer required. The other argument is that such affirmative action does not efficiently target the truly deserving or the underlying cause.

Dependent probability is never factored in, while it is true the number of women who get into STEM or programing is low, the biases in companies is considerably less once they are in. Over extending benefits in the workplace is not perhapa as important as getting education fixed in schools and colleges.

>You have to pay taxes.

Not really, no. You don't have to make money. You're able to live a life free of income and taxes, live like a vagabond.

You choose to earn enough income that you have to pay taxes on it. If you decide to get a job that pays you enough that you have to pay taxes, you're complicit.

Sadly, two days ago I clicked to unsubscribe from emails from them. It was just too many the past month or so - I{ hate when companies come off that desperate - and I never know who to blame.

It's funny that in Music City, the Guitar Center is one of the few places to actually go and get a selection of gear. I know there are a couple of small places and of course pawn shops and one used gear place that's been around a while, but we have lost places over the years that used to offer equipment and lighting. Guitar Center has been the go-to place for me and many others for years - glad their newish store opened when and where it did.

If they close that store, we'll need something new to pop in and fill the void for sure.
Everything in your comment is an insult. That's probably why it's downvoted.
