Thanks for sharing this.

I'm just very confused now. What kind of "privileged and confidential document to HR" would be relevant to retracting a research paper? She has some very legitimate frustrations with the process here, but she doesn't seem to be disputing that the document was relevant. In a more normal context, my default assumption is that "privileged and confidential document to HR" means "someone's raised a serious issue and we'll be sued if we don't fix this", but I don't see how that fits here.

It is Unreal C++, basically regular ISO C++ with some Unreal specific extensions, like a GC (yes Unreal has a C++ GC).

Usually the traditional workflow is for everyone use Blueprint graphical language, and a couple of C++ devs create components to be used from Blueprint.

Except for Embark, Rust is no one's radar in the kind of customers that use Unreal and console SDKs.
Land belonging to the people is a horrible system that creates huge inefficiencies due to moral hazard. If you look at the agricultural revolution in Europe, a major reason for increased crop yields was private property. Incentives matter.
If someone posted copyright information in say, the forum area of your personal website, and someone from the website containing that information emails you about it, you might actually find yourself doing some basic due diligence and just removing the code.

If you are a large corporation that doesn't have enough resources to do even this kind of bare-bones investigation because you have too many users per employee, you would probably come up with a process like this instead and lean on that process to guide you.

That would be reasonable in your situation, but it is perfectly fair for someone to say, "They should avoid getting themselves in that situation so that they don't have to make simple things so hard for individual people. The Internet is too dominated by ultra-scaled companies. It would be better if the companies operating in it were smaller."

I went to two colleges, one with tens of thousands of students and one with fewer than two thousand. When some paperwork issue came up, it was so nice to be able to go talk to someone in the accounting office and be treated like an adult instead of having to talk to a student working making barely above minimum wage who has to treat me like a stranger off the street because he deals with so many people. There are downsides to scale.
Today, yes, but I think in the long run a platform that implements something like Stripe Treasury has the opportunity to provide a ton of value for bottom-market event planners (think: those people that run 10 person workshops out of a community center)

The ironic thing about the UK is we are seeing the same people advocating deregulation at the national level, while also campaigning for greater government intervention at the local level.

I think you are being downvoted for the tone, but I agree the problem stripe's customers face is 99% the large fees for credit card processing. Anything they can do here would be good.
What are you calling "hi-dpi"? There's a ton of 4k monitors in the 27" to 32" range, which are definitely higher DPI than typical. And for a lot less than $5000.
Smartphones are much more advanced computing devices than televisions or cars, to the point that they are a government-subsidized good for low-income citizens that was only recently ended by Ajit Pai (the Lifeline program). Perhaps modern basic necessities shouldn't be locked?

Also, as others in this thread have pointed out, there's nothing saying that game consoles should be special and should be subject to digital locks. By the same token, perhaps there should be nothing preventing smart TVs and cars from being locked as well.

Yes, I do actually believe in their editorial independence. Here's an NPR opinion piece talking openly about the subject

https://www.npr.org/sections/publiceditor/2012/03/16/1487788...

Some excerpts that I liked (keep in mind, these are out of context, which is largely focused on why we should keep a very close eye out):

> Companies are most interested in getting their name before NPR's audience. They are, in other words, more interested in you than they are in NPR's journalism.

> The staff that sells sponsorships does not contact the newsroom to ask for coverage favor for a corporate client. To do so is a firing offense.

> Companies and marketers almost universally know not to ask journalists for coverage favors in return for sponsorship and advertising. To do so would be an insult—like asking a professional journalist to be a prostitute. It would invite distrust and negative coverage. It also would undermine the independence that attracted NPR's coveted audience in the first place.

> "Rote disclosures of every connection to a sponsor would not only clutter our programs, and be rendered meaningless in the process, but would also require producers to have an awareness of our corporate supporters that could actually be counter-productive and erode our firewall."

Yes, that's right. I may have not cracked them during the contest (but just after). I don't recall. Once I figured out the pattern, I could attack it much more efficiently. So, it's not as impressive as it seems.

And, unfortunately, wm has an audience of one. Mostly because I'm ashamed to share it.
> Taking an oral medication + injection every 8 weeks looks a little bit too hard to follow to me for preventing HIV acquisition.

In the US, PrEP is normally a daily pill, plus testing (typically an in-office blood draw) for both HIV but also kidney function every 90 days. 8 weeks vs 90 days isn't _that_ different, and visiting a health care provider to get an injection vs a blood draw seems quite similar.
So in terms of patient experience, this treatment + placebo combination during their trial doesn't seem that far off from what a lot of people are already doing. The prospect of moving to _only_ the long-term injection (and perhaps supporting tests done at the same time?) would be appealing for many.
And most of the rest of congress aren't just not doing anything about it, they consistently support the American surveillance state and voted on its expansion. It's incredibly rare for privacy to even be on the ticket.
> We deprived half the population of their right to work for a wage and had them run around doing all this waiting and cooking.

Here's the funny thing though. Your perspective changes when you have kids.

As a personal anecdote, we just had our first baby 3 months ago. My wife had spent the last 3 years getting her masters degree and getting her teaching certificate. She pushed hard. It was important to her. She got the email that her certification came through the day after the birth. She didn't care. All she want's to do right now is take care of her baby. That will likely change, and she'll probably work part time sometime in the future. But saying we've deprived half the population of their right to work is missing another perspective. The joy and privilege of raising a family. Yes, the efficiencies are wonderful, and for my wife (and for me), that means more time with our family.

Who is being deprived now? I would hate to see my daughter deprived of her time with Mom so Mom could sit in an office all day. And I feel like our society is suffering because kids aren't being raised by their parents anymore.
My company is on DigitalOcean, but we're not exactly web scale yet, so I can't vouch for them on that level. Their support is nice and responsive, though, and their management interface is very nice. They don't do everything AWS do, e.g., they only just added an S3-compatible object store and I've yet to come across anything like secrets management or IAM for their virtual machines.

Thanks for your feedback, we will definitely make it more prominent that single monitor use is definitely a viable use case.

The best experience is definitely with a secondary monitor, that was the original conception of the product, but we have a model of tab-based sharing, and a mechanism to hide windows of specific users, as well as focus the windows of a specific user (click their profile picture), that have made interacting with it on a single monitor a lot more intuitive and nice.

Many of our developers use it exclusively with a single monitor.
I understand. The underlying issue is that conversation feels intimate here but is actually broadcasting to thousands if not millions of people. Spontaneous comments that are harmless and add life to conversation between two or three friends have entirely different effects at this scale. It's something we all have to deal with here.

Corporations and their managers care only about making money and maintaining good vibes to produce a positive business environment. Only unions engaging in strikes and outside pressure can force them to change materially. All these internal committees and such are just PR.

By the way, that part about unions and strikes also applies to the joined at the hip government as well.

> Banning drug use by force is a US pipe dream. It's impossible.

Fine, but I have yet to see decriminalization policies (in the US) actually result in less usage, only less incarceration.

You have to actually implement policies that solve the drug problem rather than ignore it. Many drugs are understandably bad ideas to opt-in for. If people are still using them, then they don't truly believe this. If you simply decriminalize drugs without also implementing measures to educate on this point, you're going to have a greater number of people who believe that using these drugs are a good idea.

When you have a nation of junkies, there are immeasurable costs and other consequences. And these consequences have further reach than the cartels.
(Probably) The first aerial bombardment on US soil was when private planes dropped homemade bombs on striking coal workers at Blair Mountain in 1921. The US has a looong and brutal history of breaking up labor movements.
bank may not open an account for the driver, and why push the drivers to the bank if you can provide kind of substitute of those services thus expanding your business in such a great way.

>Stripe Treasury would let the rideshare platform give their drivers an embedded money management account. That would allow indefinitely holding money, and would allow them to use e.g. bill pay for car payments, similar to the way that many HNers probably pay their own car payments today.

It sounds like what Stripe is doing is providing a quasi-bank account, kind of retail frontend emulating limited banking services and backend-ed by GS and the likes as Stripe doesn't seems to have a license themselves ("commoditize your complement" comes to mind). Though it doesn't sound like a service for the driver, it only looks like it. It is the service for the platform. Interesting who really owns the "embedded" account/money - platform or the driver. If the driver then it looks more like bank, if the platform - interesting can of worms, like you employer providing an imitation of a real account for you and holding money in your name. I.e. it seems that the point here is to find a way to keep money in the system (the platform keeping drivers' money in Stripe - i.e. "That would allow indefinitely holding money" seems to be the key here) instead of just merely piping the money.
Most of the time you’re calling it “WebAsm”, but that’s not its name. Would you mind changing them all to “WebAssembly” or “WASM”/“Wasm”/“wasm”?

(Concerning capitalisation, though you don’t look to concern yourself with that, https://webassembly.org/ and a few other sources abbreviate it to “Wasm”; before March 2018, that site used “wasm” instead; in common practice, almost everything I ever see uses “WASM”.)
I appreciate the use of vim in the animatic.
And AFAIK in the US specifically, a union can only force an employer to accept them if it gets the majority on board to represent all employees, which means unions representing only some employees, while possible, are heavily disadvantaged, so pushing for covering all employees of a group makes even more sense.

> Banning drug use by force is a US pipe dream. It's impossible. All it provides is a pork barrel for drug agencies, weapons manufacturers etc. It escalates the price. They haven't made a dent in the 40 years of the war on drugs. When the demand doesn't cease, all you do is make the product more expensive and the ones that provide it more powerful.

After many years on this planet, I've reached the conclusion that when bodies of people decide over other bodies of people, they don't always have their best intention for them, even if they tell you so.

The War on Drugs has not been good for anyone except for the people who been waging it. If you're in the business of making weapons, you need a threat. If there is none, you need to make up one. If you're low on criminals, make more stuff illegal. Bam, now you have a lot of criminals, and some of them armed, even better.

The dream of "War on Drugs" is not to stop drugs. It's to make money will proclaiming you're against drugs.
I'm looking for something similar, but not ultrawide. There's plenty of 27" 4k 100Hz+ monitors, but not the same in 30-36" sizes. I have 3x 24" monitors, and would like to replace one or two of them with one bigger screen that's higher resolution and faster.

It's quite common for the touch panel to run at 2x the display refresh rate. Eg, 120hz touch panels have been quite common for years on phones despite the 60hz disply.

It helps both slightly with latency directly, but it also gives you more points to sample from for input prediction which then helps with latency even more. Or for things like drawing applications it'll give you smoother curves assuming the drawing app looks at all intermediate touch samples.
Even domain names follow the same pattern - in the last decade there has been a huge number of new domain extensions that have been approved for use; if you go to namecheap these days you have hundreds of options for your personal site.

Yet the vast majority will still use .com, .net and .org, and those still remain the most valuable. :)

That caught my attention as well. Godot made the same choice: vulkan for all and opengl es2 for mobile/legacy. I just hope that engines keep making the effort to maintain a backwards compatible renderer for a few more years. Not every game is a high fidelity behemoth and not every player has a beefy machine. I would hate to exclude players from a simple game just because their machine is older.

The economy is a scam. All the newly printed money which has gone into tech over the past decade is a scam. The only thing that mattered at all was your social connections; doesn't matter what the project was.

Is it a coincidence that the two fastest growing assets are owned by people who share a common history?

Mark Zuckerberg is the biggest shareholder in Facebook and the Winklevoss twins are the biggest Bitcoin investors... That's no coincidence. It's all about social connections. Your social proximity to Mark Zuckerberg and Winklevoss twins determines your future success 100%. Everything else doesn't matter. If that sounds ridiculous, that's because it is. It's a giant financial pyramid scheme.

In any pyramid scheme, those closest to the originator of the scheme make the most money... The difference in this case is that they can keep printing money forever so the scheme doesn't ever need to collapse.

The sooner we realize this, the sooner we will be able to fix the monetary system and go back to normal.
A couple of thoughts:

1. Practice interjecting, and if other people are talking over your interjection, just keep talking until everyone shuts it. It will feel uncomfortable for you, but it's an important skill to have.

2. Is there some kind of a leader in these meetings? As a PM, I was often facilitator of discussions, and I would make sure to engage the smart but quiet types. I'd always talk to them about it first so as not to make them uncomfortable, and we could decide on what's best - maybe they make eye contact when they want me to interrupt on their behalf and ask their opinion, maybe I just ask them what they think at some point during each new topic we're discussing, or maybe they Slack me when they have something to say (this works well during Zoom/conf calls). Sometimes I talk to them for five minutes before the meeting to understand their general thoughts/questions about the topics at hand, so I know when to ask for their opinion. If there's anyone playing a formal or informal facilitator role, talk to them about this and work out a way they can make sure you're included.

3. If there's no facilitator but you're comfortable with some or all of the people in the room, talk to the people you're comfortable with at some point casually and mention that you find it tough to break into group discussions. There's a strong likelihood they don't even realize they're keeping you out of things, and when they do, they'll consciously try to include you. I come from a family of interrupters - none of us mean it rudely, and because we all do it equally at home, it's totally fine. When you put me in a room with non-interrupters, I make a very conscious effort to shut the hell up and let others talk even when I have something to say.

4. If none of these work, try communicating your thoughts outside of the meeting. If you have something important to contribute on a topic that's going to come up, just casually bring it up with other folks who are going to be there beforehand. Alternatively, send a follow-up email afterwards that opens with something like "Hey guys, I had a couple of thoughts I didn't get a chance to mention in the meeting because we ran out of time..."

But seriously, I do stress as someone whose natural instinct is to interject constantly that a lot of people who are like me either don't know it's a problem or do but have trouble controlling it. I'd never take offense if someone pulled me aside and pointed out that it's causing an issue.
Just like I keep seeing plenty of mediocre teams doing for loops over GB of downloaded data and pegging Webserver CPUs for stuff that should have stayed on the DB.
