>The problem is that you are likening her to a janitor to create the impression that she has zero programming experience.

You're completely right. Change "janitor" to "janitor who went to bootcamp" and my statement still stands. This girl didn't even go to bootcamp.

Stop implying I have insulted people. I haven't said anything hateful at all.

>If this story were about a man, how would your reaction be different?

My reaction would be completely different. You're right. You could actually go find a similar story for a man, post it here and that can help change my view on this subject. The more similar stories you find for men who have done this the more evidence you will have to support your case. As it stands I find that it is much less likely for a man to be offered this act of charity.

My views are based off of anecdotal evidence and I will flip flop my views and do a full 360 based off of all available data.

As a side note, men tend to find rank more important learning a new skill or career. Due to this less men will even try to take up this deal when offered the opportunity. I think it has happened but it's just much less likely.

To build a realistic data set you need to find the percentages success vs. failures of both men and women who have tried a horizontal career switch within the same company. Unfortunately this data is likely very hard to build so both of our arguments are quite speculative. Still I have anecdotal data, you haven't offered any.

The problem seems to be that spam (and fraud) are increasing, especially in the domain of identity.

Companies have been answering this growth with machine learning and that machine learning appears to scale poorly. Humans also scale pretty poorly. What would regulation look like?

Not just in Greece, also in Romania the traditional home-made yogurt is thicker. The one you buy from stores is either thicker or "drinkable yogurt" of it is more liquid. My grandma's test of a yogurt was to eat it with a fork.

Reverse sexism is completely real, just like "regular" sexism. It doesn't compensate for it in any way, of course.

It doesn't help women, as such, in the big picture.

Attribution is always hard but SolarWinds has some obvious fingerprints.

If you consider it hacking, the Russian bot farms (IRA) is well documented too.

Maybe they are good at not leaking, I’m not sure. I will say, I’ve heard some grudging respect for the SolarWinds operation in security circles. They have a functioning offensive cyber organization, that’s for sure.

Doing a Mac build from Unreal or Unity is generally easy (and most of the smaller games that use those engines do release Mac builds); doing a Mac build from an in-house engine may be a ton of work

But more importantly: Mac hardware usually isn't really equipped for high-end games. If you have a pro-tier machine you might do okay, but nobody buys Macs for gaming, at the very least. It's just too niche of a market to go through a lot of effort to support it
I had an old blogger account with a domain registered through the blogger site.

It expired and I got repeated emails about signing into my G Suite account to address it. But I didn't register it and I don't have a G Suite account... and the only support is, step 1, sign into G Suite.

I finally tracked down the registrar they used and I contacted them directly and they helped me re-register the domain.
In contrast to modern central banking, it does not prioritize exchange rate stability.

What the fuck are you talking about? Central bank money has free floating exchange rates. The reason the value of central bank money is not typically bouncing up and down like crazy is because of the size of the markets, which cannot be upended by one whale with a billion dollars and a head full of magic.

If you’re setting out to debunk myths, you have to get the facts right.
I agree with the principle, but in a world of finite resources you've got to pick your battles. The reality is that there is no system in existence that's gonna work perfectly for billions of users, more so when you've got malicious actors trying to abuse the system, so you need to quantify the scale of the problem and decide how much effort you put in to fixing it.

It is, unfortunately, the same in many aspects of life, including many criminal justice systems. For example, if you are wrongly convicted in the UK it is incredibly hard to get that conviction overturned. It's literally life destroying for the people affected (definitely a lot worse than losing access to your gmail account!) but apparently the majority of the public don't know or don't care enough to pressure politicians in to changing it.

The web site looks rather clickbaity: https://terraquantum.swiss

Looking at the team: https://terraquantum.swiss/team/

The CEO is a physicist, but describing yourself as a "CERN Quantum Physicist" strikes me as a bit gauche, if you did part of your degree there and then went for greener pa$ture$ with the Boston Consulting Group.

Co-Founder is a German lawyer. CTO is Russian, as are apparently all members of the technical team, with the exception of one German. The only Swiss is in the URL (Not to go all ultra-nationalist, but I can't help suspecting that they picked Switzerland for the lax corporate regulatory environment, and it irritates me that they'd play up their Swiss connection without even a few token Swiss on board).

Their place of business, Rorschach, has the distinction of being literally the furthest you can get away from CERN while still being in Switzerland. Not necessarily on the A list of places to locate high tech companies in Switzerland, but, I hear, on the A list of places with business friendly regulations.

As with mobile phone companies, airlines, and ISPs you need to treat google as your enemy. All of the above consider you a necessary evil or risk. (Unlike airlines and telecommunications companies I don't believe google actively hates its users at all. It just sometimes behaves like those who do, due to the nature of things).

For Google, users are necessary as they are product to be sold. Next are various small customers (developers) as they help bring in more users, or user interactions to be monetized. Android, nest, even google cloud (lost $5B last year) are either ways to bring in more user interactions and/or ways to try to diversify the revenue stream slightly to try to convince Wall Street that they don't have all their eggs in one basket (which they do)

But there's a risk: every new user is a potential source of inappropriate content (basically: anything that might disturb the customers, who would complain about their ads being associated with something or other). Their volume is high (so there are lots of opportunities for bad actors) but also their volume is high (so false positives aren't a big deal). So it's natural to have an immune system that just boots out perceived risks and also natural not to do an expensive thing like trying to follow up and see if it was a mistake. There's no malice involved, any more than there is in a tiger that eats someone.

The only real defense for any individual or smaller organization is to reduce your risk envelope. 1: don't put all your eggs in a google basket, and 2: when you must use google, make separate, carefully unconnected accounts for each project.

This sounds like work, and it is, but you have to do your own backups, brush your teeth, and call your friends sometimes. That's life.

Common Ailments Musicians Encounter and How to Treat Them
One quick nitpick: The latency in streaming isn't as bad as you'd think

Most AAA games already have 200+ ms delays between pressing a button and anything happening on-screen. So there's plenty of room to redesign things to work around that latency in a lot of games

(This obviously doesn't apply to high-end play on twitch shooters or fighting games though, those are pretty much screwed when it comes to streaming)
The thing with F# is that (idiomatic) models/functions rely on type inference, and eventually is hard to see what is the flow without look at the IDE. Rust making type annotations explicit with minimal inference is much clearer.

Also, the fact I can do mutation + imperative code locally yet give a functional feel make some hacks around this on F# unnecessary.

But probably the biggest thing is that Rust make idiomatic things like conversions with From/Into/AsRef/etc instead of rely in your own conventions, making code more readable in the long run.

Other source of simplification is serde. A lot of my stuff is transfer/(re)encoding of data and have a "de facto" idiom for this help a lot.

One thing that F# make far easier and I miss much is the sequences (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/language-refe...). Making iterators is boilerplate and wish Rust have generators in stable.

I found a decent library for this in https://lib.rs/crates/genawaiter but is not the same as have it in-build.

AWS cut off Parler after several months of moderation problems (https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/29095511/13/parler-llc-...). Any service provider will cut you off if you break the acceptable usage policy or don't pay your bill.
The justice system isn't even close to error free even with a fair trial, as we define it, so I'm not sure that this is a good analog.

I find this one to be interesting. We typically take such things as little more than obvious platitudes, but if you think about it from a psychology/neuroscience perspective, it's actually very interesting. Like, why can't the mind manifest such states as easily when it is older? What are the actual (as opposed to the "just so"[1] theories) underlying causes, and can they be circumvented?

Right, and given HN's policy towards preserving the original title when you can, it's especially puzzling as to why the title was edited to introduce this shade of negativity.
Exercise.

If you don't like exercising or aren't able to do so conventionally, keep exploring until you find something you enjoy that keeps you fit. You lose what you don't use. The benefits are proven and unenumerable, everything from improved mood and better overall health, plus being strong or a good lover improve your well-being in non-obvious ways.
In that case you are just arguing that something is arbitrarily valuable because it is valuable though, presumably?

So why would I want to invest?
> We need to politicize this issue.

We have been for a while now. In usual political fashion, there are two competing solutions (regulation vs trust busting) locked in a perpetual stalemate to the advantage of the abusers. Looks like you're in the regulation camp.
If you've got an automated vetting process with a 99.999% success rate, but are dealing with billions of accounts, that's still tens of thousands of false positives.

At that level, "percentage" is an insufficient measure. You want "permillionage", or maybe more colloquially "DPM" for "Defects Per Million" or even "DPB".

You'll still get false positives though, so you provide an appeal process. But what's to prevent the bad actors from abusing the appeal process while leaving your more clueless legitimate users lost in the dust?

(As the joke goes: "There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists" [1])

Can you build any vetting process, and associated appeal process, that successfully keeps all the bad actors out, and doesn't exclude your good users? What about those on the edge? Or those that switch? Or those who are busy, or wary?

There's a lot of money riding on that.

The context is different when referring to politics in a two-party system like the US, versus political philosophy. In the US political system, the center is relative to where the two parties are - there is no “absolute truth” of the center. The democrats are the party of the left like republicans are the party of the right — meaning political views will roughly trend according to party membership. Centrists are defined by being able to keep a foot in both sides, so democrats are by definition not centrist anymore than republicans. Either party may be comprised by more or less centrist politicians, but if that holds it just moves the center over time. Both parties change their stances on issues periodically in ways that would seem to violate first principles of a philosophical left/right philosophy. But political philosophy is always more accurately measured in a quadrant system[0] than a linear one. In a two-party system, or one of a forced synthesis/aggregation of viewpoints and dialectic conflict, a Democrat will tend to hold views left of center in the US, or at least support politicians who hold such views, and the reverse for Republicans.

Not sure about that. I’m in my late 40s and have smashed the crap out of myself quite badly in the last 20 years. I’m sure it’ll catch up with me eventually but at the moment I am peak fitness.

What is important is being healthy enough to heal. That means you need to eat well, exercise regularly and give yourself time to heal if you have to.

Edit: to be clear the injuries are obtained through risky sporting activities not through general wear and tear and general exercise.

To clarify my point about healing, most people don’t give themselves time to heal properly at any age and end up with a compromised outcome.
> Those are intrinsically IO bound.

Rust has a great async story compared to other languages, which benefits IO-bound workloads even more so than CPU-busy ones.
Sure - understood - that’s essentially what I just said.

But looking at cores themselves, Apple is already nearly competitive with AMD, and ahead of Intel.

My understanding is that the things which still differentiate these two ‘high end’ example’s from Apple’s are essentially down to core count, and cache.

What I’m asking is whether there are other architectural features that you have in mind that I’m overlooking that Apple has not developed, but which AMD and Intel have?
The one thing I'd probably recommend to someone going out in the woods or certainly climbing a hill/mountain where they might be exposed to wind is to carry a spare pair of mittens/shells in cold weather. They're warmer if their hands get cold and they're backup if a glove manages to blow away or get wet.
Yeah it sucks computers do this but its important to remember people can be equally cruel. Big tech companies who need talent arbitrarily accept/reject candidates based on resume buzzwords and whether they can leetcode. But the long tail of small companies, often run by idiots or frat bros of some kind will reject you for reasons stupider still - dont like hair, not hot enough, can only drink 2 beers?, only knows Java LMAO.

In other industries, psychometrics are common and even effective. I remember one dull self help author talking about how insurance companies screen for optimism because lol you're gonna need it to consistently make 100 calls a day, knowing only 5 people will buy. Meaning forget merit, EVEN IF you make it past the randomness filter, your interview & job performance is determined based on largely immoveable parts of your personality. Don't forget, the corporate world outside of the rarefied space of tech is an absolute shit show.

Whenever i feel like ranting against how shitty AI is, remember folks, i remember the majority of humans suck too. It gives me a warm, cozy feeling like I'm a turkey the day before thanksgiving.
Don't think in categories of promotion/demotion.

The best you can do for yourself is to find the right place for you. If you don't feel well with what you are doing it does not matter how high on the corporate ladder you are.

Treat it as a whole package of which prestige and pay is only one factor. I know personally a guy who left being a director at a large company and moved with his wife to a small farm. They don't earn a fraction of what he earned before but he said he would not come back.

I have skipped over promotions to keep working with code because I don't feel well spending more than fraction of my time managing projects and teams.

I have recently built my own electronics lab and am tinkering with increasingly complex designs because it is just fun. Complemented with my ability to code I plan to use that to maybe build some some products. No concrete plans other than explore what feels interesting to me and do it at my own pace.
No!

What we need is competition and choice to ensure companies are responsive to what people want.

I can't, for the life of me, understand why people think "regulation" will magic away all our problems. Here's what happens: a lengthy political process results in a bunch of laws getting passed. The large companies who have enough skin in the game to care send their lobbyists, who ensure the outcome of the process doesn't harm (and may even help) them.

Ordinary people like you don't have access to these meetings and by and large don't participate. All it ends up doing is helping the people who do participate, generally the larger firms, and the politicians who can say they "did something" to their constituents.

Plus, regulations are static. They don't get updated over time, in general, which means you get an entrenched group that favors the (regulated) status quo, actively blocking change.

"Regulation" gave us banking. It's 2021 and I still can't move money same day, because all of, I think seven banks started across the country in the past 6-7 years. I'm not even making this up--check for yourself.

"Regulation" gave us the healthcare system, with insurance companies chiseling up the United States into a bunch of local (state by state) markets, limiting competition across state lines.

"Regulation" gave us professionals -- doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc -- who systematically exclude competitors and overcharge their customers because they aren't exposed to the full force of competition and innovation.

Rather than the word "regulation", I would encourage anyone who wants this, to REALLY understand what they're asking for. Go deep. Understand how the process works, look for good and bad examples, and really study the process of how these things get passed, enforced (or not, when political winds change), used (and misused -- ever tried to build anything in San Francisco?), revised over time, and their costs and benefits.

What we need is competition, not just some abstract thing called "regulation".
We've been using it in production almost two years now for some backend services to serve as a source of truth for different kinds of data between various servers and applications. It's been a genuine joy for rounding up data, analyzing, and serving it. Half of that is the F# language itself, the other half is being able to use those features on a platform with great debugging + optimization tools, and a huge open source ecosystem to pull from.

I've mentored guys and girls and I knew one coworker who literally had sex with the interns he "mentored." It can be both sexual and non-sexual and both at the same time.

This is pretty much how I do it. I built my SSG using Hakyll and host the resulting binary on my own Debian repo, that way I can write a post in any flavour of text that Pandoc supports (though I go with Markdown for simplicity) and within about 20 seconds my CI pipeline has built and pushed a new version of my site (using scp). Easily done by myself too but at least I know with the CI approach that I'm writing to git first and then publishing.

I'm part way through the implementation of showing the commit history for each post and linking it to the commit hosted on sourcehut. It provides another view on the content the same as hosting a gopher or gemini version would: clone it and read the things in the posts folder however you want.
I'm all for regulations to avoid these account closures with no recourse.

That said, why do people care so much about Google using Gmail data for ad. You either trust Google or not.

If you are convinced that random humans won't read your private emails for fun and giggles then why should I care if their regexes or neural networks are fed my emails or my search history?

The only downside is if someone is watching your screen, certain ads can reveal the content of your emails in that scenario.

Google should simply provide a paid version for all its services in case people dislike ads but whether their code runs on my gmail or Google Drive content doesn't matter that much to me.
