Do you really think saying the below did not result in greater illness and/or death of at least some people and greater spread?

>RUSH: Folks, this coronavirus thing, I want to try to put this in perspective for you. It looks like the coronavirus is being weaponized as yet another element to bring down Donald Trump.

"Leader Comrade" is a hilarious pair of words
>people have autonomy in the markets, although sometimes naive, they know the risks.

Why? Because they ticked the "I'm an experienced options trader" box? This guy did, but clearly didn't understand how options worked.

According to their roadmap [0] they are aiming to release support for running on HPE DL380 servers bare metal this year, followed by support for some 2 socket Dell servers next year.

Sure it is - because Apps are curated, you can charge more for them. If there are free alternatives available everywhere, people will be less likely to pay.

> In this case, opening up the market to competition might be beneficial to existing App Store developers.

Only true if the 50% revenue increase disappears (Which is likely with a flood of free apps). Not only that, but more free apps = more privacy violations.

> App Store does help.....

So the App Store is a net benefit - what, exactly, is the problem? There is no demonstrable harm. The small apps got a cut on the fee earlier this year. Now it's just megacorps trying to get as much of the pie as they can, in a way that hurts consumers.

Also allowing 3rd party applications to control critical features is a privacy/security issue I haven't seen addressed.
Really hard to use for me on mobile Chrome. Is it supposed to work on mobile?
Yes certainly! A slack bot would certainly help in ease of use among team members.
> What they want is for Facebook and Google to be forced to list them, but also forced to pay for the privilege. If they failed to craft or pay for legislation to that end, it was nothing more than a mistake.

Such legislation is impossible given that Google/Facebook are not Australian companies. At the end of the day, if the legislation makes their involvement in those countries a net negative for their bottom lines, they can and will take their ball and go home.
Perhaps there could be an unintended consequence that people will need to put some more effort into "sharing news" (i.e. writing or copying some words in order to begin a discussion)?

By having multiple origin sources for the story (rather than one widely shared post from an outlet) it might reduce the popularity bias of "everyone else liked that, I should too"?

Changing user behaviour is hard, but part of me wonders if this could be a really interesting experiment to see if it brings about any meaningful change on social media.
But as a newsletter publisher they don't share that information with me. If I don't track it myself, eventually my engagement metrics will fall below a certain (undisclosed) level and everything goes to the spam folder.
Very true on the last part. There are some quotes I'd love to share from mentors in the space but that would ID me too tightly.

Would you say that any particular background and skill set or credentials/laurels (publishing? writing? speaking? management? management at a certain level?) sets you up most appropriately for getting this sort of role? Basically, how do I take any actionable steps to find those positions or move in that direction.
Is the assertion that DFV, by being a licensed broker, is obligated to speak on a web forum to correct misinformation that they see there?
I used the qualifier "assuming Conley told the truth" to establish an axiom, since the author did that implicitly. Everything else was pure deductive reasoning.

That aside, I personally believe that the entire media and all public figures will lie on behalf of what they believe to be "the greater good." Their goal is not "truth." For that reason, I don't believe this interview communicated any meaningful information; I also don't believe the follow-up last week communicated any meaningful information. I don't assume Conley told the truth. My comment intended only to point out a flaw in the deductive reasoning of the article.

(Regarding your assumption about me, this is the exact problem with trying to develop opinions by reading between the lines. It's easy to develop strong, unfounded opinions without any evidence.)
If you want to create anecdotes to prove a point I won't waste my time. The problem is far, far worse on Play and Android.
As someone who worked in the reputation management industry, I find that there is an element of truth to your statement.

The essence if persuasion lies in enforcing your values onto another party. Media saturation has been a time-tested, and effective technique to ensure the right narrative is conveyed.

However, the mediums have changed in the modern era, therefore the technique, although still valid, must be adapted for the age of social media and instant gratification.
But would a rich and powerful woman want to have sex with you? For millions of dollars?

Dropping the "human-meaningful" part fixes the problems with the technology, but it exacerbates the problems with the human behind the keyboard.

A trusted source of accurate information is a prerequisite for entering someone's information into a rolodex. This even a problem with actual rolodexes.

i.e.:

* if data is missing, where do you get it?

* how do you know that data is currently valid?

* can you trust the person giving you the data?

The human-meaningful names help users make important decisions on how they interact with their technology.
Persuasion is a symptom of a broken system in which everyone votes independently.

Systems like "liquid democracy" make it so not everyone needs to be an expert on every issue, they just have to choose someone slightly smarter than themselves.

In academic spaces, persuasion is still alive and well.
Australia thinks they can extract value from news aggregators.

There is the argument that showing news snippets next to the link is what you bare paying for. But otherwise it's a pure media money grab backed by the government.
Along the lines of leaving oculus/fb, can we ask what would have to happen for you to stop using an oculus/fb product?
Well another place is for elixir nerves. You probably don't want to figure out how to shipping the xla architecture to your embedded device (I think it has to JIT the code); with nerves you can trivially cross-compile the nif shared library with zigler and deploy to arm architecture.

But kudos to José for building an architecture at a very good level of abstraction, you know, just in case xla falls out of favor (it is a Google project), nx won't have a hard dependency, and there will be trivial migration paths out.

I think there could be some other interesting nx backends, like "remote computation", or "transpile elixir and run on a Julia worker node"
According to some, you can get one with your covid vaccine :)

That is the issue, Apple is abusing it's power but not letting you even put a shitty link to your website if on that website you were selling stuff.

I agree if you as a customer pay with Apple payment system Apple should charge you a fee, but you as a user should have the freedom to see a link to a product page.

Check all the rule changes Apple were forced to do, they reducing the tax and reducing the scope when to apply it, the Apple fans were sure that Apple was perfect before this changes and for some reason Apple changed it's perfection now and can it be more perfect??? Was the last change the last one, can't Apple be even more perfect then more perfect and offer the user the freedom that they do not deserve??

The changes in policy show that Apple was not in the right and it is not perfect and there is a large chance that the last changes were not enough and they need to slowly give up their control , but squeze as much money as possible because "this is the way"
I love it. Will definitely use this for presentations.

The only missing feature I really need is Elixir syntax support (even though Ruby works for most examples)

Traditional media companies have been cutting off their noses to spite their faces for a long time now. I dont see why this will be any different.

Besides, this is obviously a good deal if facebook folds. Publishers seem to be overestimating their position so fb is calling their bluff. Both sides have stuff to lose, but im pretty sure the publishers have a lot more than fb does.
This, to me, makes me ask what the purpose of a feed even is. If it's to deliver data then RSS, Atom, JSON, or YAML shouldn't make any different at all. But if it's to deliver data and markup... now we're making decisions a client could override at best or result in unreadable/a11y unfriendly content at worst. Maybe it's just me but I've never considered the feed as a place to be putting markup but even if we want to go that route then RSS's <![CDATA[ ... ]]> addresses this. What am I missing?
VMS is / was popular in the transaction processing industry: financials, lottery, casino, etc. However, most of the folks I know working in that industry moved on to other platforms over a decade ago.

I have an AlphaStation as part of my retro collection. It has OpenVMS on it, but hasn't been booted in a while.

Another unnecessary BS term. Other day I read SecOps... whenever I read SRE on HN, I think software reverse engineering [1], and I keep feeling disappointed every time I read the term on HN.

Classic sysadmins were, in my opinion, most certainly programmers. The shell involves programming (or "scripting" which is a derogatory term for high level languages). I know a fellow who programmed punch cards. Very unforgiving.

A sysadmin who's skilled with shell would also pick up Awk, Sed (hence regexp and Perl). Nowadays, Python. You don't need to be skilled with the shell anymore in order to admin a system. There's GUIs such as Windows, cPanel, and Webmin.

They don't, but they also don't share that information with the sender. Gmail wants senders to be proactive and auto-unsubscribe disengaged recipients, which requires tracking open/click rates.
> Raj thought that checking the "principal" checkbox and entering the number of a Citibank wash account would ensure that the principal payment would stay at Citibank. He was wrong. To prevent payment of the principal, Raj actually needed to set the "front" and "fund" fields to the wash account as well as "principal." Raj didn't do that.

I don't even have anything to add. The paragraph speaks for itself... You can't make this up
Perhaps, but none of this was forced. It was clear that if you didn't play the game you wouldn't get farther in general, but you had a choice, if you call get out of music a choice.
I think this describes other commonwealth countries, like here in Canada, as well. Likely an outcrop of former-colonial mentality. The history of leadership here when we still had a mother country was one of governorship and colonial administration. The towns and streets are named after them. Frankly the attitude towards politics has persisted. It has its positives (stability and a relative lack of dysfunction) and its problems.

In Ontario as well we have this kind of problem with state-capture by industries all over. Regulations and land zoning are in many ways geared for the already-haves rather than a level playing field. An example being the wine industry regulation here.
What would be a practical application for this?
> You go to cnn.com [...] "outrage stories with headlines for clicks, stop incentivizing that behaviour"

CNN is one of the example of news organization that lives on outrage. There's not that many news sites left that avoid clickbaity headlines and fueling outrage. Social media helped to advance that, but it's not now - cable news and just their websites discovered that it works before social media.
I'm honestly curious: are you talking about unsubscribing from a newsletter you explicitly subscribed to?

The vast majority of "newsletters" I get today are from companies that assume that I want to keep hearing from them just because I once did a one-time transaction with them. And no, it's not because I forgot to uncheck the "I want to receive blah blah blah" checkbox. I'm careful to opt out whenever there's an option for that.

I don't know about other people, but I call that stuff spam. Just because it isn't an e-mail from someone who got my address from a dump and decided to cold-mail me with their crap (or phishing or other scams), doesn't mean it's not unsolicited e-mail, i.e. spam.

Maybe things have changed over the years and I just wasn't paying attention, but I've trained myself not to press "unsubscribe" on something I didn't explicitly opt in to receive.
A university I worked at migrated from independent VMS systems (student, finance, HR) to an ERP system. To make that implementation easier, they only converted the most recent few years of data.

Last I heard they had some sort of virtual machines emulating Alpha hardware still running those legacy systems.

My current employer (also higher ed.) is hosting somebody's ES40. Some people in higher ed. really, really liked VMS and the Alpha/Itanium platforms.
Ask HN: How do you call it when you hire full-time engineering contractors?
Let's say you contract 3 React developers through an offshore software agency. They remain employees of the agency, but 100% of their time is paid by you and they don't take any other gigs. Basically they are like your full-time employees.

What term sounds most intuitive to describe this model?

A. Team extension

B. Dedicated team

C. Staff augmentation

D. Outstaffing

E. Other (please specify)

Thanks!
I wonder what the cost driver is for large eink displays. Low yield? Very expensive or time-consuming processes? Low volume?

In that section of the article, he was talking about marketing and partnership limitations that are imposed by being a part of a larger conglomerate. This has little to do with feature development.
It's good that Steam has real competition now. For a long time it was the only game in town.

> All of them need their App Store running in order to play their games, so half the time my computer has 4-5 App Stores running in the background so I can play a single game

You can always close down the app-stores you don't need right now, but it's true they don't tend to give you the option to do this automatically.

> And they are all electron/qt webkit apps cause nobody builds apps anymore so each one consumes about 500mb of ram.

That doesn't support any claims of "putting them out to pasture". Is Microsoft "putting Github out to pasture" by taking a hands off approach and letting them keep doing their own thing?

Often referred to as Remote Viewing, two of the known 'names' in the field are Ingo Swann and Hal Puthoff.

Perhaps because the music industry is so dependent on personal connections and because talent is very subjective? In academia, doctorate students usually do not have to sleep with their supervisors to get their degree.

Honestly, from everything I've heard about the tech jobs at tech companies, the boring business related jobs treat you worse, pay you less, and give you less satisfaction.
> Frozen teaches kids all the wrong lessons. Shirk your responsibilities. Ignore your community. Focus on yourself.

Reading Frozen as teaching that is like reading Veerhoeven’s Starship Troopers (which, sure, is abysmal on all sorts of other grounds) as an endorsement of Fascism.

Yea, those things occur in the movie, but the movie is quite specifically about it producing bad outcomes that must be dealt with by people doing exactly the opposite.
That's a fair point, but that's not the only attack vector. I carry my token around on my keys which makes it vulnerable to being pick pocketed or just left behind somewhere. I think the original point was that you're just shifting your single authentication factor, not necessarily making it more secure. My key is only used for 2FA so even if someone were to get access to it, they'd have to know my password as well to get use out of it.
Where does it stipulate this law applies to new startups?
The requirements of the software to check specific boxes that are not obvious is going to make this incident part of some UI 101 classes.

This all screams that the feature was grafted unto an existing form and no one wanted to spend the time to update it or no one wanted to create a dialog and form dedicated to what they wanted to accomplish.

General argument seems to be that they're heavily patent encumbered and the e-ink company has no competition, so pricing and innovation have stalled.

I doubt this lawsuit is going anywhere, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if this guy ends up in front of a judge at some point down the road. I really question his decision to come forward. Don't see what it gained him aside from the adulation of thousands of bots on r/WSB.
This probably counts cells (i.e. a cell will be a service from an antenna facing in a specific direction broadcasting on a specific frequency) rather than towers. One tower can operate several cells--especially true for 3G and 4G where many carriers now do carrier aggregation across more than one frequency (and thus more than one cell). My local tower for one operator alone has 12x 3G cells (3 antennas facing N/SE/SW which each carries 2x 900 MHz carriers and 2x 2100 MHz carriers). For 4G the same 3 antennas carries 700 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz and 2600 MHz services (for a total of 12 cells). So it adds up pretty quickly.
Why is he always referred to as 'Roaring Kitty' from youtube when he is undoubtedly better known as DeepFuckingValue from reddit? Because of the `F-Word`?

It will be interesting how congress will refer to him during the hearings, considering that reddit also has to appear and not youtube, so his alter ego DeepFuckingValue should be in focus?
Damn. Humanity really is just one large brain.
I believe the latest proposal would swerve to avoid the trench.
In the context of this discussion (i.e. the suggestion that consumerism is bad from an environmental impact perspective), that'd actually qualify as a feature of futons/kotatsu.
Oh no, not that, anything but that.

In all seriousness I hope this drives the less informed in Australia to seek out actual news sources and break out of the echo chamber that is Facebook. And I hope it forces Facebook to actually support journalism instead of leeching off of it. You can't have a robust democracy without a robust fourth estate.
Google has gone from an inspiration to an expiration. Man does not live by ads alone.
> I can move to Tulum for 3 months and get ready for interviews, no?

I've worked with plenty of sysadmins who suddenly had no choice but to become software engineers. That learning is brutal for some of them–years long process, maybe never. 3 months may not be enough if you coast for long enough.
> Nobody at Google has a need to raise a ticket with some ops group in Bengaluru to partition a Kafka topic, renew a certificate, bridge two VPCs, or any of that type of thing.

Except when your team wanted to initially onboard with GOOPS and your request sat in Buganizer for 2 weeks waiting for someone to triage. Uh oh — we're turning down this service next quarter, you will need to go start this onboarding process again with its replacement.

Or when you needed quota in a cell where your product area didn't have Flex. Maybe you can set up a VC with your PARM? Does next week work for your launch plan? Hopefully they can do something for you!

Or when your logs access request sat in GUTS for a month because both of the approvers were on vacation and no, there's not an escalation path.

Or when you needed to change a firewall rule for a project your team inherited which for some reason runs on GCE. Make sure you bring your Ariane link when you open your request. Have ISE reviewed your code? No? ISE currently have a quarter-long backlog, so we're not sure we can grant your firewall exception.

None of these examples are contrived; the weight of the operational bureaucracy is staggering. It may well be that this stuff is felt more on the SRE/Security side around production launches than on the SWE side for experimentation or iterative development, but I struggle with the idea that Google is nimble.
The plaintiff should be smart enough to know most blog posts are pumps.

Different use cases. If Worksphere has researched the regulations and guidance around returning to in-office work then this could be a great value.

Half of the value might be "if you use this solution then you are compliant" with the other half coming from the actual tooling to orchestrate "you can work in office today but you can't because you came in yesterday and other people need to have meetings".

I'm not familiar with competitors in the space but my gut reaction to the pricing is that most companies will see $6/mo of value from streamlining an employee's return to the office.
There are a lot of comments in here slamming the Australian government for somehow "not understanding the Internet" or whatever and I thank you for this detailed background.

There are good and bad sides to this law and this situation, I personally commend Australia for /at the very least/ running this experiment for the rest of the world that probably doesn't have much downside and might very well lead to some real collaboration, changes and/or innovations going forward. At least they are giving something a try.
