I work at a robotics company, so we've had a perception team that manages robot localization since forever, and now that we're also internationalizing our product, there's a separate frontend team dealing with third-party localization firms to create the needed translations. :)
All radio stations do pay for the music they play. They are required to acquire public performance licenses and report the songs they played to the licensing groups so the licensing groups can collect the correct royalties from them and distribute them correctly.

IIRC this is actually why Spotify’s T&Cs don’t allow usage for businesses or public gatherings because they don’t pay out at the public performance licensing rate.
I've been reading more about this aspect of the family business - and this is one of the issues.

To counter this, I've seen many rules where the children first need outside experience for x amount of years before they could apply for a job.

I worked with a guy who was a previous McKinsey exec and now is the "uber of Dubai" founder and a billionaire and he is slimy AF.

I have worked with multiple companies such as McKinsey PWC and others and their consulting practices are all bullshit.

Now, thats not to say that any large company does not need some financial oversight/consulting/auditing - but still these consultancies are fucking vultures and are more likely to help you "cook your books" than correct your books...

Internet is a bad fit for this. I wish everyone was using yggdrasil, I2P, tor or something similar.

I mean: I could provide as many yggdrasil addresses as I wanted to. It would be possible to setup a few VPNs to connect separate networks (though potentially traceable).

That they give grants to something doesn't mean that thing is religious. For example, they give grants to PBS [1] [2] for Nova and I doubt many would argue that Nova is a religious program or PBS is a religious broadcaster.

There are different kinds of labor from immigrant populations, one is mostly brawn, the other is the one that brings brains (and conversely may cause brain drain in the source country).

That said, China has been successful (there are others) and have achieved success without this input. So I don’t think it’s a necessary ingredient. That said, talent improves economies. Imported labor (as well as automation) drives down labor costs and affects unskilled and semi skilled workers the most.

Sodium is boring. Potassium is much better!

Seriously, though, this sounds like a horrible technology. Synthesize fancy goo that is unstable when wet. React with water to make hydrogen (itself moderately dangerous). Produce some kind of slush containing magnesium hydroxide (presumably) and miscellaneous organic crud as waste. What, exactly, happens with the waste?

At least magnesium hydroxide is not as nasty as sodium or potassium hydroxide, but you still don’t want to get it on your skin if you can avoid it.
I've heard it said of Python that it's the second best language for doing anything. For one specific task, there's probably something more tailored to the purpose. For integrating lots of different tasks into a single project, there's nothing that's better at doing everything pretty well.

I see PostgreSQL the same way (although I don't think there's a better RDBMS). It's not the best document database, but it's pretty good. It's not the best key-value store, but it's pretty good. It's not the best graph database, but it's pretty good. And here "pretty good" means "enough that you can build large, complex projects on top of it and expect that it will always work and do the right thing".

Also, the converse is not true: you can't replace PostgreSQL with a K-V store, or a document database, or a graph database. It has a million convenient features that nothing outside of another ACID RDBMS could fully support without massive engineering efforts. Unless I know beyond the shadow of doubt that I'd need, say, a dedicated document database for a specific reason, I'd infinitely rather start on PostgreSQL and use it until we outgrow it, than start with something like MongoDB and find out that we actually need some ACID or relational features that don't exist in Mongo.

ARC is built on top of the retain/release pool system, but it automates everything from the programmer's point of view so you almost never have to explicitly interact with it.
Dönitz gave two orders: "War Order No.154" which you quote, then the "Laconia Order" following that incident, which doubles down on the message.

Ah I see, that makes sense. I believe Node modules typically fall back to building from source in those cases. Which can be a little slow, but generally works reliably.

Sounds interesting. Recently, I have been looking for a quick approach to make a clone of a production database for use in staging.

The idea to avoid failing migrations by applying against a thin clone of production, as somehow migrations fail in production but work fine in staging. Anyone aware of a quick way to make a clone?

Currently copying a 0.5TB db takes 3 hours while I am dreaming of like minutes.
Doge coin is getting adopted as a Tip Currency. Pornhub already add that functionality, reddit and other websites. But yeah any currency can be seen as a ponzi. This one is just descentralized. 40% of all dollars in circulation were printed in 2020. At least doge "printing" is limited to 5B per year. Things have the value we want to give to them.
The Russians hacked the emails - How is it then a conspiracy theory? These things are all facts:

Trump asked the Russians to hack Hillary, and hours later they began probing the Clinton domains.

Russian government hacked Podesta

Russian government hacked the DNC

Russian government gave those emails to Wikileaks to hurt Hillary / boost Trump and they were weaponized explicitly to do so (e.g. the Podesta release coming hours after the President was on tape bragging about grabbing women by the pussy)

Russian businessmen, closely linked to the government spent millions of dollars on a social media campaign to boost Trump

Trump's campaign took several meetings with Russians offering help with the election, including explicit meetings offered as "Part of the government's assistance to the Trump campaign" and then lied to the press and the government when asked about those meetings

Trump's campaign manager gave private polling data to several Russians, including a probable spy

Trump dangled pardons for his team if they didn't cooperate with the investigation

Trump pardoned those people who didn't cooperate with the investigation

Trump's team changed the entire GOP platform to be more friendly to Russia

Trump's transition team took clandestine meetings to promise to remove sanctions that were in place for the above activity.

Trump's son-in-law offered to take meetings in the Russian embassy to be out of range of US intelligence.

So far as I can tell, the "Hoax" that people are adamant about refers to the Mueller finding where they couldn't prove that any of the above was coordinated - And it very well might not have been! - but to say that it was a hoax that Russia helped Trump win is so silly.

This is startup-centric and depends heavily on the velocity of your project. For intrinsically difficult problems that evolve slowly or not at all (the most extreme example of this would be e.g. unsolved CS problems), source code is gold and its theft represents a huge blow to any competitive advantage a product might have had. Note that this is different from saying the source code itself doesn't evolve.

For problems whose difficulty relies rather on business concerns and which evolve rapidly then (the theft of) source code is nearly worthless.

Thanks, Russia is my weak spot in history rn.
One of my first jobs out of college was at small management consulting firm founded by an formerly very high level McKinsey guy. In a bigger firm, I wouldn't have had much contact with this person, but since we were tiny, he would often be out in the field with the junior people.

One week I found myself with him in some faraway city. We were a bit lost (this was before smartphones) and late for our next appointment. He was frustrated about it because we couldn't get a cab to save our lives. As the minutes ticked by, he'd get more and more irritated, muttering to himself about losing the fucking clients, etc. You can imagine one of these master-of-the-universe types when they get indignant; it's just like the movies.

At some point in all the running around, he notices how he's acting and tries to summon some perspective on it all, get out of his frustration. "You know," he said, "when the plague comes, society's not gonna need management consultants, nor is anyone gonna miss us. We'll get to the meeting when we get to the meeting; no one's gonna die because we're not there."

From a guy who I'd only known as this very hard-charging white collar business guru, a guy who fell out of a Tom Wolfe novel, this was unexpected and funny to young, naive, impressionable me. I got the impression that while he may not have completely rid himself of being annoyed at being late, he was also sincere. I think about this moment a few times a year, actually, something I wouldn't have predicted.

Looking back on it, I'm pretty sure that at the highest levels, these people know that they're not giving civilization all that much, and that this is never very far from their minds.
But the fact that you are in Iran and using Signal may get you added to a watchlist. They can trace the IP addresses connecting to the proxy server back to a household or phone, no?
Retain/Release methods would be for manual reference counting, as is traditional in Obj-C/Cocoa.

ARC is a compiler trick in the clang objective-c and swift compilers-- essentially injecting the appropriate retain/release calls for you. You won't get that for free in Go (because, again, it's a compiler feature-- compiled ObjC/Swift code is still calling retain/release just like you would manually), but I'd expect some integration with Go's memory management system so you're not having to make those calls manually. (It looks like that is not here in this particular release, though-- they have retain/release calls in some of their examples.)

Objective-C garbage collection is not a thing any more, and hasn't been for quite some time. Deprecated back in macOS 10.8, and outright removed in more recent versions of the runtime (it was never available on iOS, and was taken out sometime around macOS 10.12 on desktop).
To whom do the settlement proceeds go?
Prenup doesn't affect alimony which is just as peculiar.

I can see how in a vacuum here that one would see my thoughts as bad, but they are reactions to other ideas which seem to have more consensus that are based on valuing specifically women’s unpaid labor in the home. There is a finite value to how much that contributed to an aspirational and successful man (or more generally spouse / breadwinner’s) success regarding earnings. Courts should have the marriage contract based on that maxim, as it is not linearly, and rely on couples to do separate business arrangements if they are so inclined to be business partners. Some couples do this and pride themselves in this. Lets decouple it from the marriage contract.

I am assuming you don't have any kids. I used to think same way and so did most of my Asian friends. Hey I am doing fine, I end up going to decent college, other Asians can do same, right?

But it slowly changed when my friends and I started to have kids. When your kid get A but you know it is not enough. Even if you try to protect your kid, family and others tell your kid that they need to join more clubs and volunteer if they want to go to a good school. When your kid replies why and says my friends are not doing it, and you need to tell them that his friends have a different skin color and they will get preferred treatment, that's when you realize how wrong it is.

Just because there are institutions in our society which discriminate aganist one group, the solution is not to ask other institutes to discriminate against a different group. We need to get rid of discrimination in all parts of our society and not increase it.

Edit: anthoner unintended side effect of this is that many of extremely liberal Indian families that had many Black and Hispanic friends are now hanging out less with them. Because they want their kids to be friends with those who will be doing same activities.

Honestly, if you're thinking this is a grey pattern, then you're going to be easy pickings for any competition you may have. By all means, respect your users, but there's no need to tie your hands behind your back when most users are not HN users. If they were, javascript would probably be disabled on most sites.
The article makes a lot of good points, but I disagree with the notion that source code is worthless. The true test of the source's value isn't what would happen if it got stolen. It's what would happen if it disappeared altogether.

Which to me is bad. They should run a service like Tor does to get private bridges. I don't know anyone in Iran but I have a server I could use for this. However I know zero people in Iran.
Sounds like a terrible idea to me.

A good way to boost profits for insurance companies, and force everyone into CYA practices and bureaucracy - a lot like the way malpractice insurance makes doctors more conservative and raises prices.

What we need, is simply more liability for damage cause by security breaches. Companies could then decide for themselves how much to insure, and how much to invest in better technology.

I’d like to see damages reflect the actual harms caused.

If a company leaks my data and I am subjected to identity theft as a result, that company should bear the cost of remedying that.
I am sometimes guilty of reading the comments before reading the article. I often find the reactions more concise, insightful, and valuable to me than the source material.

That said:

If you are reading this comment and haven’t read the article, go read the article instead.

This is an inverse scenario: imho most of the comments here are interesting but have only marginal value building from the insight of the article.
Lets not forget this episode where McKinsey charged NYC $27 million for a flawed, nay, doctored analysis which actually caused violence to soar at Rikers. The software they delivered never worked. The sheer notion of Harvard/Princeton educated McKinsey consultants ripping off NYC for millions and putting inmates at Rikers at more risk of violence is sickening.

I wrote the texture atlas implementation for Google Maps and it's basically the same as the "simple shelf allocator" mentioned here with a few twists (grid-snapped allocation, tunable allocation granularity, resizable atlases).

> No, it's "inherently low value" because most people can do it, and there will always be people desperate enough to do it.

AKA, an easy job. A job that most people can do.

> The business and customer are getting an excellent deal because the model is anti-competitive....

No, they get an excellent deal because they're easy jobs that anyone can do. If being a waiter was like being a mechanic, they'd get paid more. Pretty basic.

> These people are giving up their entire lives basically. All you have is time on this earth, and they're asked to give all of that for nothing, so you can live in the lap of luxury.

I hear you - but raising the minimum wage hurts small restaurants a lot. And don't pretend like it doesn't. It will. They'll feel it instantly, and many will fail because of it. It's better to redistribute wealth in other ways. This drastic min. wage hike will just end up being a regressive tax on the poor.

You've never met anyone who didn't regret React? According to the Stack Overflow Developer Survey, 68.9% love React. I feel like you haven't talked to enough people.

The idea that client side JS was pushed to offload processing power is a bit ridiculous. Do you have any evidence for that claim? Many React sites these days do SSR anyway (running the client-side code on the server) so it doesn't seem like they would save money doing that.
