Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have had content moderation from the beginning. They're just like web forums. They were never "private blog spaces to say whatever you wanted". There's been a "Report" button on all these sites for years.

Even Myspace routinely banned users and groups over content issues. Here's one from 2008. https://web.archive.org/web/20111011112224/http://www.secula...

In America, the lack of a middle class creates racism and classism.

I struggled my entire life to get an education that ultimately was just indentured servitude and barely now can survive. People who didn't go to college seem to be the ones who are not struggling and can afford to buy a home.

I went on EBT during the pandemic and received quadruple the money I have ever had for food. When a country cares more about failures over people who try hard, you should expect pain, racism, classism, and just general hate. This is not a meritocracy and never has been
Irrespective of which of the myriad ways you use to compare tax raters, the assertion that the US has "ridiculously high taxes" does not hold up.

Doesn't this defeat the whole purpose of the rfc?
As I understand it, the rfc is meant to automatically detect commited secrets by basically finding the secret token uri. If one uses your library which automatically creates this uri by taking a secret and prepending "secret-token:" than the "secret token" part won't be part of the commited secret and thus not be detected by something that looks for the uri.
Expected value (a straightforward sum of total money in the system) is the wrong way to look at it.

Having lived in Germany for a few years, I was pretty surprised by the level of casual racism. The level of casual anti-semitism in Poland was even more surprising.
Some data to support this: https://fortune.com/2020/06/19/corporate-germany-race-divers...

> There are 179 people on the management or executive boards of Germany’s 29 Fortune Global 500 companies. Just two of them are not white—both hailing from South Asia—and none is black.

Contrast the US: https://deloitte.wsj.com/riskandcompliance/2019/03/12/women-...

> Total minority representation increased to 16.1 percent (912 board seats) from 12.8 percent in 2010, the first year Fortune 500 data were captured.
I didn't. I said it was the clearing infrastructure. (Although it all flows down to the brokers as a consequence).

One big unmodelled parameter is the enemy team composition. For example, against teams with easy-to-land poke, QSS is better than Banshee’s Veil.

If you modeled team composition, it may be possible to even model pick-ban phase via min-max search. A full exhaustive search would be computationally impossible, but you could approximate it AlphaGo style with a neural network estimator + Monte Carlo tree search. You may be able to sell such software to professional teams.
If it were a situation like white collar workers imploring blue collar workers to take any kind of risk whatsoever I’d be inclined to agree.

But I really don’t think there’s any risk to others by doing this, so I think it’s more than fine.
This is where technical people hit a wall with the law.

Many legal systems, especially the American one, aren’t based on strict enumerable lists of what my lawyer friends would call “bright line tests”.

This is probably a good thing, all in all.
This is absolutely brilliant. If this works as advertised, it'd be trivial to add mesh network capabilities to lots of the mountainous areas I'm frequently in while hunting or hiking or what not. That would be huge for safety, and substantially cheaper than a sat phone.
Clickbait drivel.

Gee, they should really be more careful with their risk management. Irresponsible decisions are extremely costly.
I can only speak for German and Swiss work visas, but my experience is that they are very different than US work visas.

The systems feel very much like you are being treated as a guest. Yes, there are rules but the rules are fair.

You lost your job? Well, you’ve been paying taxes, so you’re entitled to all the benefits that any other tax payer gets.

You lost your job? Well, you can take contract work in your field until you get a job? You want to change your visa type? You can do that without leaving the country?

You want to visit you family back in the USA for three months? Sure, family is important. So are vacations.

So yeah, it’s really different.
It is because Germany also takes in a lot of lower class/uneducated migrants in who have almost no prospects of getting a good job. Whereas America doesn't really do that as much (at least right now, I'm not talking about the past). Germany also doesn't have a lot of black people, which in my opinion if they had would make the racism more visible.
Do some basic orientation: take the PHQ-9 (depression), the GAD-7 (anxiety), and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslach_Burnout_Inventory)

Then try mindful self-compassion: https://www.compassionintherapy.com/daily-challenge/day1

If you're still concerned you should speak to a professional. Good luck.
Well, my understanding as an outsider is the reason America believes it's the best is the capacity for self reflection, experimentation and change. It has huge problems and if they can solve them it reflects well on us as a species.

Minor point, but when calculating the avg_diff_price for $GME you should be calculating a return (close-open)/open otherwise days where the stock went from 100 to 105 (5% increase) look the same as days when it went from 5 to 10 (100% increase).

Likewise, when calculating the correlations, that should be done on returns and not prices.
Big asterisk there.

German education accreditation for Blue Card is rather fickle.

Germany maintains a rather short list of universities per-country which it recognises as institutes of higher learning.

You may have a rather ordinary uni degree in mainstream occupation, but if your uni is not on the list, you can't do anything.

If you passed a university program in a recognised university, but your program is missing from a dropdown list on their website, again, you can't do anything.

And if you have both, but your degree does not state in its title verbatim that it is a bachelor, or masters program regardless of years of study, again, you can't do anything about it.

The "dreamer BS" isn't in any way comparable. I seriously doubt you're offering citizenship in 5 years to anyone who shows up and sneaks across the border. I do think we should offer citizenship to the dreamers but it'd involve passing actual laws so...
> Not this dreamer BS.

To be fair, the dreamers stuff is about people who came here / were brought here illegally by their parents.

We definitely have work to do on our immigration system but I would imagine if I immigrated to Germany illegally they wouldn't make the process very easy on me either.
PISA standardized testing (I think 15 year olds) differentiates between migrants and non migrants.

In the Anglosphere aka US, UK, Can, Au, Nz - migrants do only a little bit worse on standardized test than local kids, but once accommodating for income, migrants to a little better than local kids.

Everywhere else, migrants to far below the regular average.

Everywhere in Europe especially, they are far below.

People don't often make this distinction but the Anglo world tends to be far more 'open'. If you can speak English, that's fine.

In places like Germany and Sweden, irrespective of how educated someone might be, there are larger barriers to integration and migrants are often social outsiders.

This isn't driven mostly by 'hate' or anything deeply nefarious, rather it's by strong association of 'in-group' dynamics.

The Paradox is that in the US and even in the UK (i.e. Brexit) people are lambasted as 'xenophobic' by certain parts of the political spectrum when this is demonstrably false. UK/US are actually much more likely to believe in the economic value of migrants than elsewhere. They are generally welcoming places, however, due to larger rates of migration - much more existential discussions arise.

Of course Anglosphere countries are also much more likley to be aspirational targets for migration in general (though it's clearly not always true: kids Maghreb especially want to got to France, and Germany/Sweden were popular among Syrian refugees).

All together this has the effect of increasing employers' leverage over employees, especially in industries with limited jobs and lots of competition for them.
I was hoping for something like this but unfortunately LoRa seems pretty meh if you don't have line of sight between the devices or maybe open enough areas that don't drown the signals. I was hoping that it could go for a couple hundred meters in urban areas (was trying this out in the outer London zones, UK) but the results were pretty bad. Reception was spotty the moment direct LOS was lost and non existent ~10m after that. Not even worth mentioning the results if one of the nodes was inside a building.

If anyone had any success in dense areas I'd really appreciate any links to the hardware/antennas/firmware/software you used to get good results.
Doesn't matter. The client uses end-to-end encryption. That's kind of the whole point.
>Compared to most european countries, US is very xenophobic.

As an european who have worked for european and for american companies[1]... no, very much it's the reverse: european companies pay a lot of attention to university, nationality (home culture, really), and social class for matters of promotion; american companies are more results-oriented and much more cosmopolitan.

You might be judging it by what's being broadcasted in popular media - the european "we're enlightened all the way through" versus the american "we still have ways to go".

>All european countries have equal opportunity laws.

Only really useful for bilking the big multinational companies for moderately stingy fines. Nobody gets ahead because of a lawsuit.

Germany doesn't have many black people because Germany didn't import them as slaves and never really colonized Africa.

This whole statistic is worthless without context. Like how Germany's first immigrants after WW2 were low skilled Turkish workers and only recently Germany became more attractive for high-skilled immigrants because the US effectively shut down its visa program for the majority of people.

I'm not saying Germany is perfect but just whipping out some numbers without context doesn't cut it.

Also, it's pretty bold for Americans to lecture other countries on racism while their police is gunning down people simply for the color of their skin and is separating children of refugees from their parents to put them in cages. Meanwhile Germany is providing healthcare and shelter for all refugees but apparently doesn't currently promote a few dozen high-skilled workers that very likely could've made it anywhere to be CEO.

I get most of my book recs from HN comments. Usually they are non-technical, anything from Michael Mauboussin to the Secret Life of Groceries. I would appreciate a simple "coreHN / not-coreHN" switch. (CoreHN would be books about startups, technologies, etc. I prefer the diverse topics, which are often buried in HN).

Also curious - are you parsing comments to identify books, or just submissions?
The article only really points out, from Tim, the right-wing organization and violence. Most of the violence the country saw over the Spring, Summer and Fall were organized, and still are, on Twitter and Facebook.

Here's just 1 twitter account that promotes the organized violence, with dates and times to appear. Just scroll through the last few months. Also check out the "suggested" twitter accounts to follow on this page, by Twitter. It leads you to more Antifa groups promoting the same types of things.

I would just like an honest discussion, where one doesn't lay blame solely at one side, but takes an honest accounting about all sides who are provably doing the same, if not worse, actions. Most on the left, particularly media and social media companies, seem to only want to talk about what happened on Jan 6th on a fairly obscure app called Parler, but not the almost year long trail of destruction perpetrated by the other side organized on the big players platforms. A decent case could be made that more destruction was caused in American cities since May that was organized on Twitter and Facebook, than was on Parler.

Let's just be honest about the shortcomings of both sides, or it perpetuates further divide.
Dude, I am like you. 44yo, working at a unicorn, most devs are younger than me, but my salary is higher. I had a good chat with the boss who is a good old pal, and we figured that I am a bad fit for ivory tower kind of work and that I have to go to professional services to feel happier.
The stated purpose is to allow detection of strings that should not be publicly disclosed. If such string would also plainly identify what it is good for it would essentially defeat the purpose. Ie. the authors want to encourage creation of automated tools that prevent disclosure of such tokens, not encourage creation of automated tools that will harvest such tokens from publicly accessible data.

Sorry, I meant too much credit for trying to lead by moral example with egalitarian approach to vaccine allocation between countries. This is a easy position to take when it is your only option and would be to your advantage.

It is also worth noting that the rest of the world outside europe is conveniently forgotten when people make a moral argument for a need based division of vaccine between UK and EU.

I think our difference of opinion is based on, you have no experience owning cars older then 10 years. And I have experience with cars older than 20 years. So you aren't familiar with that breaks on older cars and what doesn't. Nor do you know how much it costs to fix the various things that break.

So for me imagining going from 20 year year old cars to 30 year old ones is not a stretch. Where for you it's going from 5 years to 30.

Headline is misleading. The prices are for libraries, not students.

One might expect a perpetual ‘for let’ license to be different than a physical book. Books have a finite lifespan.
I believe so, yes. But in all seriousness a line has to be drawn somewhere about open source'ness.

For example, there's a few ways to remediate that. My preferred is a reference Gnuradio flow that, with an SDR, allows for communication with their device network. Secondarily, open firmware would be good... but with open firmware still results in closed silicon (and not everyone has access to a fab!).

Closed source isn't always enough to run me away. Closed and closable interoperability does.

Do you have any non-strawman examples of this (e.g. C security holes are strawman).
Even some of the worst possible HDHP plans that employees can get have a max out of pocket of $10k/yr (pre-tax) with HSA. So you can say in the worst case OP makes $400k and pays $10k in insurance if he has some major health issues to be addressed. Or maybe just say he makes $390k and has totally free insurance? Even if he’s spending something ridiculous like $50k/yr on a family of eight’s insurance he’s still way better off.
Of course, but the law is a joke in practice (which btw is something I found typical of German law).
It is very hard to prove discrimination and no immigrant would have the money, time and energy to pick such a battle.
