Not looking to give them an "out" - but I wonder if it's because these companies take on so much debt by buying properties and making the bet that people will always be living and working in them, paying rent. Now that people are leaving NYC in droves for other, cheaper locations - the NY real estate market is absolutely tanking because nobody is paying rent.

These property management companies made their bed, imo.

That should be a pretty easy goal for them to hit, right? Just buy the chips that are manufactured at TSMC.
Well then they are perhaps already getting a fair wage.
I started with Elixir last year, after ten years of Erlang - definitely an upgrade!

My favorite improvement is the existence of Ecto - what an amazing piece of software.

Thanks for all your work and vision!

I have the TCL R635, one of the first “cheap” mini LED TVs. I think the picture and local dimming zones are subjectively amazing for the price. I know OLED is way better for $1k more, but I love the picture on the TV. I honestly don’t feel I’m missing out that much. The dimming zones are far superior to the local dimming on Vizio TVs at the same price, which are laggy and quite prone to bloom.
The difference is that this article alleges the existence of a single individual, rather than a trend.

The other article spoke in vague words of quantity, which is quite common in news articles, that a certain quantity is suggested, but actual numbers are never shown.

They are then not technically wrong but know full well most readers would infer a more spectacular claim than what they know the truth is.

I'd argue that when numbers actually be spectacular, news articles invariably cite them, and when they not be, cover them up in vague words — in this case however the number is 1, as it's about a single man only.

I'm too young for the glory days of the mags, but from what I understand the ads themselves were even fun to look at, because at least they were extremely relevant... skateboarders like skate products.
I saw the thread fix-up recently. Based on the comments, it seems setcontext/getcontext versus pthreads is becoming less of an issue these days.
Yeah, I can't really tell if the overall community will adopt it or not, but you may well be right. Last time I commented something about ruby not having static typing I got downvoted by people claiming Sorbet is already used heavily in production.

But either way if I'm switching off of ruby, I don't really want to go to something else that doesn't have static typing.

As in the whole project was rewritten in Django or some kind of transpiration going on there?

I haven't gotten to the point where I'm adding a lot of libs yet and certainly can't speak to using it in a big team.

In terms of syntax flexibility, Ruby has a similar issue where a lot of popular libs implement their own DSLs. I've never fully bought that that is a problem—a library is going to have an API that will require reading documentation. Maybe the one example that goes off the wire is RSpec (I'm really used to it now but I'm really enjoying going back to good ol' `assert` in `ExUnit`). In terms of keeping it idiomatic with the business logic, library can (and in my opinion always should) be wrapped. I may be missing the point or being reductive here, though, and I would be interested to hear more about your particular pain if you're willing to share!

...and of course if you are talking about using meta-programming to write business logic, that's not a thing anyone should ever do for any reason ever, period (IMO).

For me the raw speed of writing a highly interactive app in LiveView is unlike anything I've ever experienced. My primary experience is with Rails and React.
The iCloud backups are opt-out, not opt-in, that's the issue. Most people leave settings at their default, and if a company says "We care about your privacy and security", you expect that to be reflected in the default, but here it seems Apple went the other way.
When google's search fails to find the most basic of things because it's all Ads, is it any surprise?

At what point did google search go from that great search engine to what amounts to an ad landing page full of spam. Sundar keeps trying to go into other markets rather than weeding the garden already sown, and its not going to end well.
The route they took wasn't particularly close to where the jetbacks were spotted. I don't think it is that - although I don't know enough about aviation to know what they were doing or how rare of an occurrence they are.
I agree. There are people on here seeming to argue that parler was booted “because of TOS violations” which they clearly were not. The winds changed direction and it became expedient to boot them, TOS rules don’t enter into the equation.

But the platforms aren’t being honest about this – they’re claiming that it was about terms of use violations. I’m saying “stop pretending like this argument from the platform makes any sense and let’s have a real discussion about the ramifications of banning groups from a platform when they become political unpopular.”
Ah, the ol' "two rails going down the same track", got it; thanks for a different perspective.
I would nudge your course slightly. Instead of simply poverty, economic opportunity. In poverty, with no economic opportunity, war is your only opportunity.
This is how you transfer intergenerational wealth.
same thought, seems neat, but with out one example, it makes me less want to try.
I really like your magician/blacksmith analogy.

I'm in industrial automation, but it's much the same. Projects where someone developed a strategy but has never been involved in the details of a machine are doomed to failure (or at best to be unreliable and producing low quality parts). Projects built by machine fabricators are over-engineered, frequently late, and sometimes unprofitable, but damn if they don't work well.

The main trouble, I think, is that when a shiny new contraption is brought to the king, it's too often the magicians doing the talking - whether they're speaking words of power or Common, their job is to talk. Meanwhile, the blacksmith is probably busy at in his workshop some ornate scroll work for the next thing, or repairing the previous gizmo, because he'd rather be hammering away at his anvil than talking.

The higher you go in an org chart, the fewer the number of people who understand the work their company actually does, and the more voices you have between the workers and the decision-makers to take some of the credit for work as it passes up the chain.
Case in point was already mentioned. The New Yorker is the outlet that ran with the bullshit rent a family story.
That's the popular understanding, but genetic studies caused science to move away from that explanation some time ago. Dogs seem to have evolved from a common ancestor with wolves quite a ways back and show a good deal of genetic divergence. Though they are still included in the "Canus" genus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog#Origin

More detail:

> Genetic studies show that dogs and modern wolves display reciprocal monophyly (separate groups), which implies that dogs are not genetically close to any living wolf population and that the wild ancestor of the dog is extinct.[4][2] An extinct Late Pleistocene wolf may have been the ancestor of the dog,[3][1] with the dog's similarity to the extant grey wolf being the result of genetic admixture between the two.[1] In 2020, a literature review of canid domestication stated that modern dogs were not descended from the same Canis lineage as modern wolves, and proposes that dogs may be descended from a Pleistocene wolf closer in size to a village dog.[5]

> The genetic divergence between dogs and wolves occurred between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago, just before or during the Last Glacial Maximum[6][1] (20,000–27,000 years ago). This timespan represents the upper time-limit for the commencement of domestication because it is the time of divergence but not the time of domestication, which occurred later.[6][7] One of the most important transitions in human history was the domestication of animals, which began with the long-term association between wolves and hunter–gatherers more than 15,000 years ago.[4]

> On average, military tends to be more pro-war then civilians.

A lot of veterans would disagree about your "on average" thought. Sure, there are belligerent vets out there, but most have a better idea about the not-so-good stuff that happens in a war.
The problem with therapists is that therapists tend to come of as a position of authority and that that, for many, makes them less effective.

This man takes the position of a peer.
I did some quick math, and the 240k acres it says they own comes out to about 378 square miles, which if condensed down to a square would be 20 miles by 20 miles.

On the one hand, that's a lot of land. On the other, it's not really anything.

>Asking them to clean and scrub the source data set...it's not going to happen, they just don't have that skill

I think you've been working with conmen/conwomen. I've never seen a data science project that doesn't involve data cleaning or wrangling of some sort.
A plot? By whom?

ML, depending on the situation may refer to a field of research, a methodology, a set of tools, among other things. Only things with agency 'plot'.
I won't comment on the privacy implications, but can you substantiate your claims about competition at all?

I saw Apple Watch utterly destroy Microsoft Band and Pebble, and FitBit was headed for the same fate. If not for Google stepping in, competition against Apple Watch would have just been from Garmin (solid company, but they too probably would have been crushed).

Source: investor in Apple, FitBit, Garmin, Google, Microsoft; was in the first batch of Pebble 3rd party devs; avid Microsoft Band user and participated in a number of internal projects when I was there.
> limited ability to take full advantage of some of its unique features in many cases

Honestly, this shouldn't count as a downside. :) The way I frame it is "in the worst case scenario, you can deploy Erlang/Elixir as you would any other language".

You don't need to use distribution, you can still build stateless apps, etc. And yes, almost nobody uses hot code swapping!

However, whenever you need a specialized solution, such as quick messaging between servers, proper concurrency so a slow upstream server doesn't kill your app, etc... you have that at your fingertips!

Even if you are not using any of that in production, you are still leveraging concurrency when compiling code, running tests, etc. It really makes a large difference! And if for some reason you cannot leverage any of that either, the languages are still great on their own. Pattern matching and immutability are a joy, developers feel productive within the existing frameworks, and so on.

My car can go 260km/h but I never went past 140km/h (speed limit where I live) and I still love it (the best car I ever had).
The same. If he is seditious you can get a court to issue an injunction very quickly, and if he isn't a private entity has no issue determining what a politician can say.

As a German one thinks different about free speech than do most Americans. We know all too well where too much free speech leads and when in doubt let the courts decide because we love public peace.

Putting a muzzle on someone is interfering with political expression, which is a constitutional right. A monopolist like Twitter has no business interpreting the constitution, the issue would have to see its day in court.
It's like a very passive therapist slash low-key friend who can go with you to different places.
I mentioned this in another comment, but another difference is the ads are super relevant because the target audience is so niche. Like, people that are interested in RPGS that buy the mag are going to be interested in product specifically related to that interest. Ads become interesting when there's actually value behind them.
No, the jobs he was hired for don't sound like a therapist at all. At most he is only willing to offer feedback, but most of the jobs are literally just people wanting an extra person for a variety of reasons.
A reimbursement for effort/overhead is not the same as selling for profit. Again, there *really are companies who sell consumer data to law enforcement for profit*, so it's important to use the correct language and make the appropriate distinction. Do I like that Apple does that? No. Do I think the actual policy conversation is best served by accuracy in language? Yes.
I understand and agree that the author adds his own $0.02 here and there. But you don't have to agree with every word in the book to think it provides value. I think the book functions as an easy read high level overview of human history, particularly the early chapters.

Who do you recommend instead?
You didn't seem to respond regarding the possible negative consequences of supplementing with C, which may increase the chances of developing Alzheimer's. Which makes it look like my point went right past you.
Also, a lot of data scientists find the science fun and the engineering boring. But they have overlapping skill sets - if you aren't good at one, you're probably not good at the other either. Somebody who shows up to a team with the goal of only modeling and pushing all the dirty engineering work to their teammates is basically a worst case scenario because

1) They probably aren't going to produce good models since they're not sensitive to data nuances, but now they've taken over ALL the modeling work.

2) They bring down the job satisfaction of everyone else on the team who would like to be doing at least some modeling.

3) They're sucking up the prestige that should be distributed over the entire team and management thinks they should be paid more for work that it turns out everybody thinks is more fun anyway.

My number one advice to entry level data scientists is to not be this guy. Don't give your interviewers the impression that you won't do your own engineering work because they won't want someone who brings negative value to the team.
I agree that filter bubbles and algorithmic engagement is a serious issue, but that's somewhat orthogonal to how I took your initial point.

"State-backed" is generally implying foreign states. The real distinction being foreign versus domestic, regardless of whether the actor is part of a bona fide government or not. A domestic actor will push their own interests, but generally not to the catastrophic detriment of the larger country. Whereas a foreign actor's entire goal might be to incite chaos.
No, the Presidential Alert may not be disabled (as a matter of regulation), but the other alerts may be. Different phones have different levels of control for what can be toggled, which I believe is up to the manufacturer.

However it is a separate (system) apk on most Android phones, which can (as a matter of fact) usually be disabled, if you do some digging. It's disabled on my (non-rooted) Samsung, as it has been for years.
Is dear old Bill some kind of survivalist?
> What's the argument for banning one social media and not another. Where do you draw the line that manages to keep Facebooks app available, while still being able to defend the removal of Parler.

Parler was created because Facebook and Twitter wouldn't allow certain types of speech. Fundamentally that same speech that was banned from Facebook is what got Parler kicked from pretty much everywhere.

Parler knowingly allowed threats of violence, murder, and rape on their platform. Facebook and Twitter grudgingly booted the groups and individuals who made that same sort of speech off.

I do agree that Facebook is given too much latitude, but there are pretty significant gaps. Facebook is mostly used for speech of a more mundane sort.
The universe is 13.8B years old–here’s how we know
A good data scientist should also be good at science. Otherwise, you can simply hire people with engineering skills - you don't need scientists. If you hire scientists and then are surprised they aren't good at engineering, the hiring process needs a reality check.
Pro tip: on iOS most adblockers will block YouTube ads so long as you use youtube.com in the browser, not the YouTube app.

YouTube in the browser has almost all features of the app now, so there's no compelling reason to use the YouTube app.
An unassuming, low-key peer at that.
I agree with you on many prescriptions, but many have a legitimate need to be regulated.

Antibiotics are an obvious one. Antibiotic resistance is a real, and growing, issue. If people start popping them every time they get a sniffle, that's going to get a lot worse.

Some medications have very serious side effects, and a doctor really should vet that you're healthy enough to withstand those.

Some medications can have very severe interactions. Part of the prescription process is that their computer is supposed to alert the pharmacist if some combination of the meds you're on creates an issue.

Honestly, those few categories knock out most of the useful medications. Mental health drugs are generally safe, but self-medication isn't usually effective in those scenarios.
Sounds interesting. So besides translating calls it also emulates the CPU? How does it run x86_64 games like The Witcher 3 on ARM?
According to the linked article, most of the tweets were about open science issue, though a few tweets may have had a link to Sci-Hub’s website. The latter probably used as an excuse to ban them.

I just checked and the pirate bay for example has a perfectly fine twitter account with a great handle (@tpb), and their profile even links to the website. Not sure if they have any tweets linking to their website though.
(Not the OP) I would prefer that Twitter did it in response to a court order. But courts don't seem to be able to act fast enough.
Ask HN: How did you hire your first employee?
Can you describe a typical scenario where a civilian might want to use body armor?

I understand that shooting high powered rifles is a lot of fun, so recreation makes sense with respect to weaponry, but I'm legitimately confused about why a civilian would ever want to own body armor. I can't imagine it's terribly comfortable to wear, and it doesn't seem very fun to me.
Now it is much easier for Bill to be outstanding in his field.
Hats of to the demo scene in that regard. (Some of them just should do less drugs ^^")
I think the most pressure is from advertisers, right? Se depends on how much they love making money
You also had strict travel bans I believe.
How did you find a job that paid that much?
You can install Alpine on the host and then use Alpine images in Docker on Alpine. :D (that's how I do it)

But yeah I would like to use it on the desktop as well..
I don't support piracy. So I don't support Sci-hub. But I believe that publishers are bilking the public and that publicly funded research should be made freely available. The real way to fix this is to disrupt the reputational incentives academics (and deans supporting this) have to keep publishing in these journals. For some reason, I think this is an unpopular opinion on HN.
The article is really interesting. And a decent investigative piece. I recommend a full read.

It also confirms what I have always said..most of our food and farmland is controlled by sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, pension funds, unions and institutional investment. In the coming decade, all small farms and family farms will disappear. They will only exist as hobby farms or subsidy collecting token farms.
This move is bold and refreshing. I think Facebook and Amazon should also be taking action (assuming sci hub is using AWS and people are posting links to it on FB and organizing groups).

It’s only fair that, in case of breach of any law, regardless of where it comes from, that same measures be applied in each and every case.

I’m sure HN would agree given what has transpired over the last week.

Edit: I missed to include CloudFlare and others as well. They shouldn’t be providing DNS services to anyone who is breaking any laws.
Not sure I understand your argument. It seems like you are against allowing these markets to function. But then you say:

> Let me know when one of your closest friends gets arrested by the Feds and you don't get to see them for a decade plus.*

Which seems like an argument in support of GP. If we didn't make these illegal, which then increases prices and danger (only the most ruthless survive), which in turn incentivizes one of your closest friends to take the risk by getting involved in the supply side, then you wouldn't have to worry about "your closest friends gets arrested by the Feds and you don't get to see them for a decade plus."

If you're talking about demand side (i.e. your friend is a user), banning the markets won't address that problem. Sure it impacts demand, but it will never eliminate it and it only makes those sucked in all the more vulnerable to exploitation and abuse, and unable to get help from law enforcement since they are committing crimes (this is the identical problem that sex workers with abusive jons and/or "pimps" often have as well).
I know a lot of it is marketing, but they're certainly trying much more than competitors.
