And, as with today, usury was the underlying cause of the inequality. The early church was anti-usury for very good and practical reasons and, now that it has abandoned that position in a practical sense, we once again see the huge concentration of wealth that it causes.

This should be a cause around which both progressives and populists could coalesce, which I suspect is one reason it is ignored or mocked.
Hmm... Not to sound pessimistic but there's something I hate about this. It looks like a futuristic sci fi ui you'd see in movies. It looks... complicated even though it expresses something simple.

This feels wild, in a good way, but I wish there were python or julia:

I like to think we are one of the few examples on the web of a community that (1) self-regulates (somewhat) and (2) understands that the platform itself ought not to be taken for granted.

Bad faith discourse kills places like this. While I'm sure many would claim that HN experiences backsliding, it's nowhere near as bad as one might expect. Especially considering that there might actually be a financial incentive to "get into" HN and its content.

Very rambly, but that's how it goes. Cheers, friend.
BTW, we should mandatorily tag generated content for search engines in order to exclude it from future training sets.
So much for the "non-obviousness" test in assessing a patent application, it seems...
That's a very good question, and not necessarily something I find easy to explain concisely. Let me try anyway :). Note, some of the bad impressions may come from the usual clued up recruiters who are trolling LinkedIn for keywords and then crank up the spam.

So what I expect from a role that's commensurate with my experience (trying to avoid "senior" as that's usually a pigeonhole):

- You tell me what you need to have built, I'll figure out the how (architecture, design, technology) and when it'll be done, based on the usual cost/velocity/quality constraints.

- I'll work with, guide, mentor and lead a team of developers if the size of the project needs it. However, I'm technical first, so I'm not interested in roles that are management only. This generally seems to be the crux of the matter - not a lot of companies seem to have these roles.

- If you give me the responsibility to deliver X, I also need to have the authority to make it happen. Don't ask me how I figured that out ;)

I can usually find roles that fit two out of three, but I don't seem to be able to find something that matches all three. My current role probably rates as 2 1/4 out of three, and is definitely a good fit, but with very limited growth potential (aka I'm close taking as far as I can take it).
> What we need are more caring people to adopt, and put their words to action, and give these kids good home.

We do need this, but we also need loving, caring people to foster. We've been fostering for over 6 years and every one of our kids have gone home to family. That should be the goal. People like to think, "oh I'd be able to provide for this kid much better than their family." Maybe that's true financially. But family is family and if there's ANY way to reunite the family, that should be the way forward.
Can't let this pass without the old classic: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/704080v1

In the United States, supercentenarian status is predicted by the absence of vital registration. The state-specific introduction of birth certificates is associated with a 69-82% fall in the number of supercentenarian records. In Italy, which has more uniform vital registration, remarkable longevity is instead predicted by low per capita incomes and a short life expectancy. Finally, the designated ‘blue zones’ of Sardinia, Okinawa, and Ikaria corresponded to regions with low incomes, low literacy, high crime rate and short life expectancy relative to their national average. As such, relative poverty and short lifespan constitute unexpected predictors of centenarian and supercentenarian status, and support a primary role of fraud and error in generating remarkable human age records.
I sometimes use your "bug" on purpose in tests, when checking that two values are either both defined or both undefined, but not one defined and one undefined:

$ python

>>> a, b = 1, 2

>>> bool(a) ^ bool(b)

False

>>> a, b = 1, 1

>>> bool(a) ^ bool(b)

False

>>> a, b = None, None

>>> bool(a) ^ bool(b)

False

>>> a, b = None, 1

>>> bool(a) ^ bool(b)

True

(Note: this doesn't work if a value can be 0, because bool(0) is False in Python).

This helps to avoid having to write something like `(a is not None and b is not None) or (a is None and b is None)`.
I'm talking about stuff like passing instance variables from controllers to views, method_missing, monkey patching, use of send, and meta programming. This magic makes code pretty and allows a lot of stuff to just work. But when you have to debug or update code that someone else wrote it makes it really difficult to see what's going on.

As an example, if you what to refactor a method it's impossible to be 100% confident that you've found all the places it's used. That makes it very hard to be productive as the team size grows or when you're working in legacy code bases.
> I'm not concerned If someone happens to know some esoteric trick that they could Google search (Unless of course you're applying for a position at a company that manufactures very low level devices like microcontrollers or embedded systems and questions like this are _actually relevant_).

The "XOR trick" actually nearly sank me on an interview once, I'm assuming because the interviewer shared your opinion. One of the questions they asked me to solve was the "n - 1 numbers in a list" question the article talks about - I promptly came up with the XOR solution because I have more background in low-level work than the high-level finance role I was interviewing for. Turns out, they had never seen it before, didn't really understand how/why it worked, and they took a lot of convincing to accept it as correct.

I think I only still got the job was by then proceeding to also solve the problem the "normal" way.
IMHO the most important thing is to be consistent with the rest of the organisation's codebase. After a while people get used to reading it that way.

So doing what the linter says is exactly the right answer.
>In Italy, instead, it is pretty common that every couple of years you get a complete blood analysis just to see if everything is ok and whether you need to change something in your lifestyle.

This sounds like a great idea
You guys are so far gone, every connection with reality has faded it seems. Where would one even begin to explain? For one, he is not unpopular at all.
Nah, all you need is for consumers to start returning bulbs that don't last as long as specified and manufacturers will rapidly make changes.
I think there could be luxury market for them. They use a lot of more LEDs and electronics but there might be people that are willing to pay few times for more efficient LED that lasts longer and is gives more stable light when grid voltage fluctuates.

Customer must just be easily able to tell apart better LEDs and they can just by looking how many LED filaments per watt they contain.

I think China can make plenty of those if they become fashionable.

I assume they do that do avoid comments on old issues. If they are already using bots like that they are probably barely able to respond to new issues, so comments on old issues will never be read anyways. By forcing users to open new issues, it increases the chance for replies.

That's at least what I understood from bigger repositories. It's not great and most maintainers are aware of the several shortcomings of that practive, but especially in huge repositories there are so many new (and sometimes low effort) issues daily that some maintainers are simply overwhelmed.

When I started the job, the little team I was on had a special deal that allowed them to use Linux; the rest of the company was on Windows. When I switched from Linux to Windows, it was partly due to outside pressure and partly due to a desire to help team members in India who did not have that special deal and were thus forced to use Windows. But a couple of years later, the special deal evaporated and everyone had to move to Windows...

I suspect that it is still common to be forced to use Windows at $BIGCO.
It's psychologically comforting and you don't need to be an expat for it to be realistic. I agree that most people underestimate the value of creating a sustainable low stress life in their home country. Many people I know in the US seem to think working here means building up constant stress that eventually needs to be blown off in an orgy of travel and degeneracy.

I have about 80k in liquidity and in the back of my mind it's reassuring to know that if something went wrong at my job or I burnt out or got fired I would be ok. With just my savings I could rent a room in my city for something close to 10 years, including all basic necessities. Even just taking a part time minimum wage job I could easily double that time frame.

As it is I live happily in a small space with a very frugal lifestyle. Paradoxically I think going to work knowing that I could walk away at any time actually makes me a healthier and more productive person/employee.
Surprised this doesn't have my favorite XOR trick: implementing a double-linked list with one pointer!

I don't think so - I was aware that it was a made-up number, and highlighted the fact that it was. It's the lack of awareness of what is backed up by data that is the problem I think.

That's really interesting. Another reason for greater use of user-level encryption.
Meh. The server market has way more inertia than the PC market. Server customers are less insulated from execution because they operate with fewer layers of abstraction than PC customers. Performance is important, but it's not going to be a one-turning-point kind of sea change in market share (which still tilts largely in Intel's favor).

That said, I do believe that Ice Lake is important, because current Intel customers may view it as a seminal iteration from which to extrapolate the long-term trajectory of Intel's processors. I just think this particular "showdown" is mainly a journalist's fantasy. Sure, every product matchup matters, but it's really Intel 7nm that's going to either mark the resurgence of Intel or show that its problems were not limited to one process node. We're not there yet.

“If” people lose faith in the power of politics to improve their situation? A good portion of the US has lost that faith.

I’d also argue that our leaders have lost their creativity. The real test will be over the next two years. The Democrats have that long to show they can rekindle creativity that will help people. If they don’t, I fear Trump may turn out to be a leading indicator to much worse demagoguery.

What is the inevitable outcome of how our society is structured?

Our values come from television, which exists to serve advertising.

Advertising works by appealing to selfishness, hedonism, and self-doubt.

Who is going provide the time, thought, care, attention and funding to give these unfortunate kids, alone in this world, the confidence, skills, endurance, and self-belief to navigate the education system and a society that’s based on connection for advancement?

The government? We’re told that’s a “swamp” that can’t do anything as efficiently as private enterprise.

Private enterprise? There’s no profit in running foster homes.

The prison system? There’s profit in that!
Ask HN: Does anyone knows where to get product management free courses?
I know that product management can be a very lucrative and personally rewarding career so I am looking for courses, ideally free courses that I can take to gain more knowledge and skills.

I know that there are countless resources out there (free ones, too) but suggestions from anyone here would be great.

Thank you in advance!
I think that you are being overbroad. I don't agree with the conclusions of the article, but the core question is why so many people have bought into election conspiracy theories, or the even more bizarre universe of QAnon. Curious to hear your thoughts.
I haven't tried that but it did seem straightforward. Personally I think it would be much more useful if you could go the other way around. Define a node sort of like an anonymous function/first class citizen kind of thing, and pop open a little code editor that lets you write the implementation with all of the boiler plate pre-generated.

The only time blueprints fail me are

1) Really nitty gritty networking stuff
2) More classic CS algorithmic stuff, with strings, arrays, sorting, etc.

The latter feels very solveable. Maybe in ue5...
You have to be careful of all the LED lights being produced as cheaply as possible by many manufacturers. I would think somewhere there is a website listing reliability of some of these manufacturer's LED lights.

And do you keep your bulbs on 24/7? The mass market, "budget" (really, the baseline bulbs that most people buy; ~$1.25/bulb) LED bulbs are usually rated for around 10,000 hours of on-time (which is ~1.14 years).

The mass market, higher end bulbs (namely from Cree; ~$2.50/bulb) are rated for around 20,000-25,000 hours of on-time (~2.28 and ~2.85 years, respectively).

The historic reason many religions/societies looked down on divorce is that it left the woman worse off - the man would be able to work and fend for himself but the woman would have few options.

The fact that in out modern world many women (in heterosexual relationships) are the ones who desire to leave, and can reasonably fend for themselves, is pretty novel, and we haven't figured out how to adjust the rest of our social structures to account for it. It is a good thing that women can leave relationships where they're being mistreated and be better off on their own, but it means we need to rethink designs elsewhere in society that were based on the assumption that they wouldn't.

I agree with you about the village mindset, and it's kind of the most robust option. Even ignoring divorce, a parent can be emotionally incompetent at caring for children, and certainly can be called to work (or fight) elsewhere, can get sick and/or die, etc. We should be ensuring children have multiple backup options if their own parents are unavailable for whatever reason.
A good example of this is the absolutely exorbitant prices charged for low vision CCTVs and similar equipment. I assume this is because the sellers are mainly targeting state aid agencies so they can get those juicy tax funds.

Keratoconus sufferer here. This looks really cool. I'm probably not going to need a corneal transplant at this point (since my condition appears to have stabilized with age) but I'm definitely going to follow this. Even with correction the acuity in one of my eyes is very bad (like, can't read 16 point font at arm's length bad). Since this method takes the tissue rejection concern out of the equation I wonder if an "elective" corneal transplant might be an option down the road.
Local SIM cards in Europe have to be registered with your name and an identity document.
One of the coolest XOR tricks I've seen is fast encoding of negative integers to positive integers (unsigned) employed by ProtoBufs. It is called ZigZag encoding where negative and positive integers are interleaved such that lower negative values are assigned to lower positive values:

input zz(int)
0 0
1 2
2 4
3 6
-1 1
-2 3

zz(n int64) => (n << 1) ^ (n >> 63)

unzz(n int64) => (n >> 1) ^ (-(n & 0x1))

Social Media Marketing Tips to Boost Your Business
I completely agree. In every "dead" LED bulb I have opened up (because I like to take stuff apart) the actual emitter still worked when I applied power directly. Seems to me the power supplies are all junk.
I echo this sentiment. Here are the eligibility criteria: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04485858. I am not an opthalmologist, however, it appears this is an option when a transplant fails or is not indicated due to infection.
It's still excellent news!

> there's nothing inherently hard about monetizing extensions

Over 95% of Chrome extensions are completely free, as in no form of payment whatsoever. This makes extensions one of the worst of all software markets. Users just expect extensions to be free.

Also, the browsers vendors themselves can make it difficult to monetize extensions. Firefox eliminated its extension store several years ago, and Google is eliminating Chrome Web Store payments next month. If anything, the Mac App Store is now the easiest place to monetize extensions IMO.
I’m a huge Julia proponent (and before, a huge Python proponent over Matlab), but I would be careful about claiming that Julia will be the coming standard. Python has a crazy amount inertia and excellent projects still in the pipeline.

I think Julia will eventually win because writing your code in one language which isn’t C or FORTRAN is extremely productive and leads to much more composable libraries. The progress that’s been made on, for example, deep learning frameworks is impressive given the lack of massive investment from FAANG. I hope this leads to it dethroning Python, but it might not. If anything will, I think it has the best chance.

I’d suggest you give it a try anyway because its really not a hard language to learn. The ecosystem itself is quite good. The fact that you can write fast code without C extensions leaves you less dependent on the ecosystem, too.
From that article:

There, the Court held that inflammatory speech--and even speech advocating violence by members of the Ku Klux Klan--is protected under the First Amendment, unless the speech "is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action"

Still supports my point: there are limits to free speech when it involves inciting violence (or other lawless action).

And there's still also libel laws which make lies illegal in some cases. Though I believe that's a civil rather than criminal issue.
I would never work in a place that is asking such questions in the job interview.
Yes, but it's not a linear relationship. The gain in longevity is via thermal gains, which reduces the likelihood of component failure. It might be 3x, it might be 10x.

You'd get the same (longevity) gains from taking a "regular" LED bulb and running it at lower power. You'd get less light output, though.
Odd that there has been a news assault on Bitcoin the last 48 hours or so.
Your note is very important, I think it would be good to give it more emphasis.

What works flawlessly, however, is:

In [1]: a = None
In [2]: b = 0
In [3]: (a is None) ^ (b is None)
Out[3]: True

Alternatively, as suggested in another comment, you can use inequality as a replacement for XOR:

In [4]: (a is None) != (b is None)
Out[4]: True

Another error prone pattern is the following:

In [5]: a or b
Out[5]: 0

Which can behave differently depending on the order of elements/values:

In [6]: b or a
Out[6]: None # should be 0

Since b is zero, it doesn't count.
Less error prone, but also more verbose is:

In [10]: a if a is not None else b
Out[10]: 0
