Not really. Most folks that take opiates aren't addicts, and there is a thriving black market. A number of opiates simply aren't legal either. We do give some of them out as prescription, but it isn't like you can get opiates for a fun time once in a while and that is definitely missing.

Part of having the sort of system they are talking about is having choice of drugs, some for recreational use. We can restrict the hardest to do safely (or that have a higher rate of addiction) and restrict frequency of others (we were already doing this with Sudafed in some states in the US a decade ago)- but you aren't getting addicted to opium after one night. You can take pills daily for a week or two without being addicted. Heck, we know that servicemen got addicted to heroin for years during the Vietnam war, only to come back home and go back to a normal life without addiction.

Opiates in general would need a legal way to get high off of them for the rest of the system to work, and we just don't have that and we don't have readily available, science-and-medicine based help for those that do get addicted nor a safety net to ease people's suffering to try to make sure they don't wind up in a similar place.
The CDC recommendation for HIV tests is at least every 12 months, and every 3-6 months for gay men with casual partners.

In the UK, the Terrence Higgins Trust, the AIDS charity, also recommends every 3-6 months for gay men with new or casual partners.

If any people from the UK are reading this, free STD/HIV home test kits are widely available. In London, for instance, order them from https://www.shl.uk. If you're a gay guy and you haven't been tested recently, go do it!
> The discussion seems to have settled down to "M1 is great! But you'll soon be able to get a Zen 3 CPU that's just as good."

It feels worse than that to me. Those people are actually saying "But Zen 4 in 2 years will be just as good!" because their claims depend on combining IPC improvements from Zen 3 _and_ a 5nm process that AMD has no plans to switch to for Zen 3. It's a weird bit of gymnastics in order to reach emotional parity with the M1 widely available right now today.
I know you are referring to 'that thread', but in this email (from the article) she said:

"So if you would like to change things, I suggest focusing on leadership accountability and thinking through what types of pressures can also be applied from the outside. For instance, I believe that the Congressional Black Caucus..."

Skipping parts of the chain of command to deal with grievances is usually a toxic behaviour. Trying to skip the entire corporation and going straight to the government counts too, IMO. This woman has opportunities, abilities and successes that most of us can only dream of and she's using that to try and make Google a vehicle for political goals not quite articulated here (this email is obviously not written for public consumption, it is light on specific details apart from her thinking there are insufficient women hired). I can see the complaint against her, she's already got an advantage in life and now she's using her access at Google to try and strengthen her hand and weaken that of her coworkers.
I don't know what you mean but to add additional context, the PERM process takes ~1 year and the employee is free to leave before / during / after the process. It is not exceptionally hard as an employee on a H1 to have an employer sponsor PERM for you, most (90+%?) employers do it, so it's not an added draw towards Facebook if they do sponsor the PERM / GC.

If they leave after the PERM + I-140 have been approved, companies have a limited period of time to revoke the I-140 but this is extremely rare and won't happen unless the employee has really burned their bridges. Six months (afaik) after the I-140 has been approved, the company can no longer do anything about it, the employee can leave without any immigration related ramifications.
I'm seeing a resolution of 3840 X 1080 for that monitor?

https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/49--chg...

Thats a PPI of something like 80, which may be fine for gaming but is not at all comparable to the high PPI monitors discussed here.
It's not mutually exclusive. If a company has H-1B quota that is unused, it may be beneficial for the company to sponsor under the H-1B directive rather than start a new process for an O-1. O-1s are also significantly difficult to qualify for; it is unclear whether an "average" public health expert would qualify.
It's designed for rapid prototyping. You can just use npm or yarn and ignore this feature though, it's entirely optional.

FWIW the surface area for security issues here is far smaller than npx or similar tools, because WMR only writes JS/CSS/TS files to disk, and doesn't execute package scripts (where most vulnerabilities reside).
still here :)
What makes it mobile, the device it's in? If I have one in my desktop or Mac Mini, it's no longer mobile. The power draw? Everyone benefits from it using less power regardless of use. Form factor? Why does size physical size dictate small == mobile?
Currently trying it out on a new project. Haven't dive too deep with it yet, but like it so far.
Retail companies like Walmart are driving more movement than you'd expect since they aren't only moving their own compute from AWS, they're requiring their own tech partners and vendors to provide them non-AWS-based alternatives as well. I've been on several migration/training projects for companies with large retail customers since they hadn't had time to build the sort of GCP or Azure expertise yet that they had around AWS.

Yep. Mac's look like a comfortable unixy environment. Preinstalled zsh, a fast terminal emulator (item), gnu utils. I'm sure I could make it work as a dev machine.

I have to admit that m1 macbook air battery life is compelling. A long time ago I was thinking about a perfect laptop that would be very light and have a 20+ hours of battery life. This comes close. Even though I have never used a laptop more than 5 hours on battery. And that happens a couple of times a year.

Hope you'll enjoy your m1 air.
To simplify - when you long, you bet on price going up. When you short, you bet on price going down. If you went short and price dropped 5%, your profit is 5% (minus commission, slippage, and some other stuff).

– Okay now, tell me about the hash
bars?

VINCENT
What so you want to know?

JULES
Well, hash is legal there, right?

VINCENT
Yeah, it's legal, but is ain't a
hundred percent legal. I mean you
can't walk into a restaurant, roll a
joint, and start puffin' away. You're
only supposed to smoke in your home
or certain designated places.

JULES
Those are hash bars?

VINCENT
Yeah, it breaks down like this: it's
legal to buy it, it's legal to own
it and, if you're the proprietor of
a hash bar, it's legal to sell it.
It's legal to carry it, which doesn't
really matter 'cause – get a load of
this – if the cops stop you, it's
illegal for this to search you.
Searching you is a right that the
cops in Amsterdam don't have.

"Royale with cheese" is part of the same scene.
And let’s not forget why we have a separate Labor Day in the US:

>Labor Day has conservative roots. In 1894, President Grover Cleveland pushed Congress to establish the holiday as a way to de-escalate class tension following the Pullman Strike, during which as many as ninety workers were gunned down by thousands of US Marshals serving at the pleasure of railway tycoon George Pullman, one of the time’s most hated industrial barons.

>Cleveland was wary of the response to his actions. He signed Labor Day into law a mere six days after busting the strike.

Just to clarify (I'm not taking a particular position on this discussion):

At Facebook, as of earlier this year at least, most Software Engineer and Production Engineer hires are definitely not headed toward a particular team. For the first few weeks, they're in 'bootcamp', which is quite generalized. For example: I've never done any meaningful Android or iPhone development in my life, but during bootcamp, I learned how to do Android and iPhone development (at a basic level) at Facebook.

After the first few weeks, but with a couple of weeks remaining in bootcamp, new hires are actively looking at and talking to different teams with open positions to join. By the end of bootcamp, a total of about five weeks, the person formally joins a team.
So at what point do you have so many constraints that you "don't get to do it"? You've mentioned you need your animal, but you can't afford a one-way car rental, or a hotel, and that flying is affordable regardless of what happens to folks with allergies. At what point is there not a workable solution in completing your travel task?
"The root issue" is quite complicated, though.

I think it's great someone who comes from an area where US$5k/month makes them extravagantly wealthy can get a job paying $10k/month. More power to them, and good for them for having that opportunity!

Then I think about it in another context. One that considers the huge subsidies (direct payments, defense) the US provides these countries, and in the context of the market wage in the absence of these visa programs. That is, the context in which a US (permanent resident or citizen) worker's already tiny salary negotiation leverage is diminished by the existence of this labor pool. That's not such a great thing, in my opinion.
> It otherwise looked like any other penny asset.

Before 3 years ago, it wouldn't have looked like "any other penny asset" it would have had a similar chart as now because its prior booms and busts 3 years prior to that all had similar degrees of amplitude. Just zoom in on a chart and pretend that it is summer 2017 with no future price history available, just like all the traders at the time had.

Regarding "penny asset" again, in price 3 years ago and 6 years ago Bitcoin would have been hundreds of dollars, which is not like penny assets, and even if comparing "penny stocks" to a digital commodity the marketcap of bitcoin 3 even 6 years ago would be greater than 99.9% of anything in the penny stock markets (bulletin boards, pink sheets), of which - of course - commodities and commodities derivative do not trade on.

You speak in hyperbole for emphasis and that's generally fine, but that only works if you know what you are talking about and it is pretty clear you just conflate concepts over and over again.

Its fine if you personally don't want to or don't have the risk profile to be in this market, yes you are missing a lot of alpha from sitting on the sidelines. No, you don't have any insight to support you sitting on the sidelines. But again, it is a completely valid choice to do so.
Ask HN: Best calendar solution for small online consultancy?
Calendar-ing is generally awful. What is the least worst calendar solution for small consultancies? All I want is a simple calendar that can integrate with Outlook if my client wants me to, but can also email invites to any email address and have that email be accepted by whatever software the client happens to use, Outlook or not. The answer may indeed be Outlook but, as I don't currently rely on any M$ solution, I thought I'd ask before unleashing the horrors of M$ dependency on my business.
Why there are no foreign keys constraints in your database (2017)
I think the simplest thing to be said about messaging and tone is this:
If your goal is to say things to convince people to change their behavior, it makes sense to spend some time thinking about how your message and its tone will be perceived, since that has a big impact on how people receive and process the message.

Based on a long career of watching people trying to convince the others, attacking people is typically a failing strategy. Instead, learn how to message in a way that is non confrontational, and most importantly, make it clear what is your opinion, versus fact.
I'd say not less than 75% of this year Bitcoin raise is because of tethers. They are printing "money" like crazy since early summer.
I'd actually support the DMV example. The same for the Post Office. I'd like a trap door at each service counter spot, and the people who show up and are packing/taping/addressing their parcels at the counter would be dropped into the basement, beaten, and thrown out the back door.
That's a good point; the original experiment is a good story that for many was proof that prejudice exists, but it doesn't mean blind screening is a panacea.
From behind the former Iron Curtain, I can smell the "we need to pay lip service to a powerful dogma, but we think implementing it would be a disaster" approach. This was a normal state of things in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.

If Timnit Gebru were a cynical opportunist, she would just hop on the bandwagon, pretend to care and collect her paycheck. But she seems to be a true believer, and true believers won't accept ineffectual groveling. They want to see the real thing. Ergo, collision.
Associated Developer Accounts? It is hard to draw the line here. I have 2 company with different partners. It is so vague if I should add associated developer accounts or not.

Why shouldn't they hire foreigners? It is a global company.

When visa policies are tightened, FAANG companies don't decide "well, instead of hiring this Indian who passed our interview process, we'll hire an American who failed it instead". Rather, they expand their offices in places with less restrictive visa policies, like London or Vancouver.
It has been a long time since the Apple TV was updated, but it performs well for 4k content so I’m not sure what the average user would want from an upgrade. Personally the only item on my wish list is very niche - allow it to concurrently connect to more than 3 Bluetooth devices, so I can use more sensors with Zwift.
If you're hired by a private company to do academic work, it may often be reasonable to expect academic norms to apply. I'm not sure why you're disgusted by the idea that people might take jobs at Google, who do quite serious work around AI.
Probably. Isn't that only pets small enough to fit under the seat?
The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT): Most Ingenious Algorithm Ever?
If you write your views, tvf and stored procedures to use common elements defined once and once only (this starts with once and once only tables), maintenance is easy peasy. If you let every developer create their own view for the same business logic, then you are creating an unmanageable creature.

This also applies to "composable" code written in the application layer outside the database.
They can fight back, of course but trying to destroy another company’s systems sounds super illegal.

The 40Gbps is for the data connection of TB3. The display part of TB3 is independent and is just DisplayPort. Both TB3 and USB-C alt-mode can do DisplayPort 1.4, assuming both sides support it of course. TB3 only actually requires DisplayPort 1.2.

There's actually no difference here whatsoever on the display-only side of things.

(side note, USB 3.2 achieves up to 20Gb/s, not 10Gb/s, and TB3 is also realistically only 20Gb/s as well unless you're sticking to the super short 0.5m cables)

Come on.

It's not like "hordes of tourists" were going to the Netherlands to do mushrooms. It's a very fringe, minority activity.

Many more tourists were smoking pot, but that's a pretty sedate, quiet activity limited to the confines of a coffeshop or someone's home.

By far the most numerous, annoying, and belligerent tourists are going to be the drunk ones, but the Netherlands did not crack down on alcohol consumption.
and? with tech stocks at record highs it’s useless to look at current value of RSU comp vs what they got when they first signed.

all i’m articulating is that there are incentives that tech companies like FB have for hiring H1-B over American workers of the same skill level. Is your point that compensation has nothing to do with it and that’s it’s exclusively for other reasons?

Ne2000 was my first NIC and I remember it dearly. It allowed my crummy old computer to connect to the family computer and by proxy its modem and the internet. Having access to the internet from my own bedroom was a game-changer for me as a kid!
I'm not saying any of those things. I'm saying a $1000 laptop from Apple is a pretty good value for a lot of people and I'm not sure you can do a lot better at that price point. When you include things like having an Apple store across town where you can go when things break, it pulls even further ahead.

The best that money can buy changes when you put the actual budget. Today, Apple may be the best that $1000 can buy.
Can someone explain to me basis of the argument here?

Like if someone wants to sell my grandparents a "Facebook messenger + FaceTime + Email"-only tier of internet service for a discount then God bless them.
Have you considered the difficulty in hiring is partly due to artificially complex and high standards? That maybe, to some degree, these standards are promoted in part to contribute to a feedback loop?
I don't really care what the equation is as long they reap profits enough the keep the wheel going full speed and produce more awesome products. I love the cinema for its grandeur and DB levels and nothing out there can replicate that. True - the frustrations with some trash people is a factor, but so far nothing that extreme to make me even consider ditching the big screen. But i'd settle for anything as longs as there will be more. MORE!
I even can't remember last time i've seen ISA card.
That has nothing to do with why Facebook wants to hire foreigners.

Facebook wants to hire foreigners because they want to hire essentially everyone who passes their interviews, and only some subset of those are American.
Timnit Gebru is very clear that she didn’t resign. The actual headline at the link doesn’t say that she resigned. The moderator editorialization of headlines (and occasionally outright substitution of completely different urls than the ones that were submitted) on HN has gone way beyond disappointing, it’s outrageous. Shame on you dang.
> Comments like these always make me wonder if I'm the only person in the world still delighted by Apple products. I mean I alone can not be responsible for their sales volume.

I agree with you, but I've admittedly never used macOS migration assistant because I find it easier to just copy over a few directories and get to work.

Even when I've had Apple products fail, I've had great experiences with support in and out of warranty. And the little touches how devices interop and the like are a delight.
That's a good point, also described in the book Sapiens by Harari: In a way Religion, currency and contract law (and many other things) are all "made up". They have institutions (priests, central banks, lawyers) with magic words (amen, price stability, due diligence) and a certain combination of magic words creates a new reality out of thin air. Think about how weird it is to "sign" an important contract and thereby changing you own future or the future of your company irrevocably.

While I'm definitely not a fan of crypto currency and wouldn't seriously consider investing a single Euro into this mess, it's certainly misguided to simply laugh at it being "not real", because a lot of important things are. Obviously the gp makes some other important points.
Come on, be serious. These kinds of science-y puff pieces come out every day, on all kinds of topics (I can't count the number of times claims around cancer cures, fusion reactors, new battery technology that's 1000x better, etc. are made). This is one engineering group making very preliminary case (that they may have embellished for the media attention - wouldn't the first time - see: recent "life on Venus claims"). It takes time and lots of effort to figure out if this new material can satisfy all the necessary constraints in order to scale to the market.
That's not been my experience at all. Quite the opposite.

I actually can't remember a single time in 15 years where I've ever seen that. Maybe it's happened, but I don't remember, but I can easily recount tons of poorly performing SQL queries though. Sub-selects, too many joins, missing indexes, dead-locks, missing foreign keys...

I'm not saying it wouldn't cause a problem, I'm saying I've never, ever seen production code where someone dumped tons of data out and then processed it.

I have seen people try and make extremely complex ORM calls that were fixed by hand-coded SQL, but that's a different problem.
At least they are trying to fix it, vs other languages where there are literally no paths forward. IMO python has one of the more mature packaging ecosystems out there at this point. It is so incredibly easy.
Heh, funny you mention this. I saw 2001 in a theater in the 90s, and that may have been the first time I saw it.

I sat down to watch it again on HBOMax recently, and found myself wearing out the skip-10-seconds button on the remote. I even thought to myself, "this movie would never fly today". I then even thought about how I could probably edit it down to about 40 minutes and have the same storytelling, albeit with much less visual candy.
