> The problem is that in 1989 when socialism died.

Socialism didn't die in 1989. What is that even supposed to mean?

> They started their rebranding effort. They became Politically Correct

“Politically Correct” was never part of a rebranding effort on the left, it was originally a pejorative used between different groups in the left, and adopted heavily as a pejorative by the right against the left in about the early 1980s, serving the same purpose as “cancel culture” does today (like, literally, anything the right says about “cancel culture” today can pretty much have that term swapped out for “political correctness” and be a quote from the right in the 1980s-1990s.)

> "democratic socialists",

“Democratic Socialist” isn't part of a post-1989 rebranding. The DSA itself was founded in 1982, and the “democratic socialist” label is older (one of the DSAs predecessor organizations was the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee.)

> culutural marxists,

“Cultural Marxism” isn't a post-1989 left-wing rebranding, it's a right-wing conspiracy theory. No one on the left identifies or brands themselves or any movement they are part of as “cultural marxism”.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_...

> globalists

Again, not a left-wing rebranding; pretty much no one identifies/brands with globalism, and globalism is a term used both on the left- and far-right to refer to and critique an aspect of neoliberal capitalism (a center-right ideology).

> internationalists

Again, not a post-1989 left rebranding. Leftist “internationalism” historically has referred to association with one of the Communist Internationals (though it pretty much fell out of useful use with the overlapping, competing, Stalinist Third and Trotskyite Fourth Internationals before WWII, and the subsequent schism within the Fourth International. More recently, the left has been more prone to use “internationalism” as part of a term of critique with regard to liberal (centrist to center-right) internationalism, though even that negative use has largely been replaced with criticism of neoliberal “globalism”.
But why would you have to root and reflash it? Couldn't they, you know, respect their customer instead?

I wonder if Alejandro will come across this.
Surely you understand how "with none of the advantages associated with a cryptocurrency" could make it seem like you were referring to Coinbase batching (since that's centralized). How exactly does Lightning negate any of bitcoins advantages?
Depends on where the 12v was drawn from. If it was connected to the 12V cigarette lighter port (that thing has a 15A or 30A fuse in my car) that should be expected load, but maybe not 2+kW drawn constantly for hours directly from the battery's leads.

Anyway the Tesla doesn't generate power during driving like a regular car does, so the 12V power is always topped up from the main Lithium battery and the DC-DC converter needs to be reasonably sized to accommodate eg. 600W supply. If power was taken from the regular port than i would count it as regular use (eg. when camping i would count on my car to charge things, even if it uses fuel and generates 0 km/miles.)
I never had anyone tell me that I had to offer special dispensation to tenured professors when I was the sysadmin of shared services at a university. They get what they get!

Also I kinda feel like a university probably won't use the free tier of Google storage. I imagine they'd go for the $5/year plan that includes 20GB of additional quota per account.
That's a negative spin on what essentially is raising the bar for hackers to get to your platform if I ever saw one...

Yeah, so instead of every script kiddie being able to hide, now it's increasingly elite hackers. That's a problem because?
We definitely weren't at the very bottom of the ladder. We had some stable income, a roof over our heads and food on the table.

Looking back the financial position we were in was clearly temporary. But at the time it wasn't so clear. It wasn't obvious that once graduated, my father would be able to find a well paying job (they were also pretty ignorant on the job market at the time). We definitely had financial stress in the family, which bled out to me all through childhood.

I consider myself fortunate and I had a legs up in multiple dimensions. Educated parents, stable home life etc. But like I said, very grateful that type of stress is not a part of my life now.
> as soon as you start explaining yourself, you have lost the argument (I learned this when I tried to explain myself to my partner)

Yes. When it's about minor things, you don't care to be right when the relationship with your partner is at stake.

But the angry mobs fuelled by hypocrisy and bad journalism are not your partner. They are the problem. They need to be told loud and clear that they're not just dead wrong, they're also dangerous and bigoted.
I'm sure that a Chinese citizen would see the NSA as an equal or greater threat. The difference from my perspective is that as a citizen of a NATO country with a functioning democracy, I'm highly unlikely to be rounded up by my government and put in a prison or concentration camp for expressing my political opinions or religion.

You only need to look at the past several years of news from Hong Kong and the Uyghur/Xinjiang province situation to see the stark real world difference in human rights, political freedoms and press freedoms.
Not that I install new software all that often, but macports requires sudo for quite a lot of operations.
Yes absolutely. Definitely different trade offs to be made depending on circumstance.

I agree with the second to last recommendation:

> rking's personal recommendation is to go ahead and use set -e, but beware of possible gotchas. It has useful semantics, so to exclude it from the toolbox is to give into FUD.

Manual error handling would be ideal but it's too easy for me to mess up and miss something. Plus, if you really wanted to catch everything with proper error handling you would need to wrap every command in your script.
Same could be said for countries outside of the USA buying US tech equipment.
I share a lot of snippets and commands with members of the team, write a lot of bash (which I like to debug in interactive mode), and often follow or produce documented procedures in interactive shell (not quite repetitive enough or frequent enough to bother scripting).
There's a Principal Skinner meme in here somewhere, if I can just put my finger on it...
What about the issue of transparency? If you asked the majority of people in the world, would they understand that by holding USD or Euros they are effectively holding a form of government credit?

Would it be more clear if each countries 'currency' were instead called something like US credits, Spain credits, etc. and that each country could issue new credits at will?

Part of me is concerned that the system works right now simply because much of the populace thinks that their nation's currency is a safe and stable store of value and not a form of credit at all and thus are much more willing to hold it than they otherwise would be.
If humans did nothing, we could expect glaciation in the next 100 years or so. Do people really think what we're doing can prevent that? If so, do they really think we can regulate the planet well enough to avoid both bad outcomes?
Taking down a vicious racist gets more clicks.
Each of us is heading to our own personal Armageddon. Could happen at any moment.

Perhaps the dread and angst is projected into concerns about society as a whole. Easier for some to worry about the coastline of Miami in 100 years instead of the indisputable fact that death is approaching.
Xiaomi is awesome phone for it's price tag you just needs to flash custom ROM like LineageOS. And they don't even make this problem contrary to other manufacturers like Samsung.
Isn't it kind of arrogant to think that one knows the mechanisms of God so surely as to settle the question on the origins of the universe?

The bible, esp. genesis, is taken metaphorically, or else a lot of problematic interpretations will arise.

Also, even scholars of the Abrahamic faiths do not readily disclose their intimate religious faith, lest their work be discredited — such as a professor who studies Christianity, but holds Islamic faith.

>>The article accuses Xiaomi of exfiltrating a history of all visited websites.

Is this our definition of spyware? I see countless articles float by on HN about super cookies, spy pixels and browser fingerprinting. Those do effectively the same things, track users against their expressed wishes, but we just don't call them spyware.
Very cool! I think these types of automations are great for exactly the reason you said: helping reviewers focus on the meaningful changes and not bikeshedding.

I am building a tool to make _human_ reviews on GitHub much better and more powerful. If you or anyone else is interested in better PR reviews on GitHub, you can email me at sam@habosa.com and I can get you into our Alpha.
I agree with your statement, but I'd like to get it a bit further. Why run any closed-sourced software from (or have servers in) countries that can request you data without a fair trial (e.g. secret courts). I feel just as uncomfortable about national security letters and the NSA/CIA as the MSS, this from someone who is not living in China or the US.

I do think this shows the perks of open source software and being able to self-host or federated solutions.
It's not just the weight that's an issue, but also the volume.

Believe me some places like New Orleans would love to have a foreign postdoc ghetto if it meant educated people would stick around.
> Some of that is that they don't have systems like maven or npm that would make it really easy to incorporate libraries into the build.

Definitely! I wish the C and C++ communities would take this problem seriously.

> That said, what I like about C is that it is a simple language where you can throw out the standard library and start anew

This definitely is a nice property. But it's not just C that can do this. You can for example do this with Rust, and get an excellent package management system (that can indeed package these alternatives to the stdlib) to boot.

Exactly. Cars get scrapped because the part costs $W, you can't run a compliant business for less than $X, the tech needs to be paid $Y, the service manual subscriptions cost $Z and they all add up to a number greater than what a 2002 Cavalier is worth.

An under the table side gig mechanic can perform many more jobs in an economically viable manner because the fixed costs are so much less.

I think what many people are missing is that it may not be a good currency for small purchases but for moving very large sums of money it can be very convenient.

There are no instruments in the world today that would allow you to move from $1,000,000 up and up by fitting it easily and discretely into your pocket. Could be a smartphone, USB drive, or a san disk.

People in the west forget that like 85% of the world live in very corrupt countries where confiscation of property/wealth is real. If you want to get your money out of said countries this is the best way to do it hands down!
Marketing, clearly. Doesn’t mean it’s not a good opportunity.
Thanks for expanding your original reply, I can see how the term itself might come across as politically charged. It’d be better if it wasn’t used mostly in conjunction with the left.
Are you thinking of the default java gui for previewing plantuml docs? I think there's a timer down there to avoid polling the FS too often. Using a simple editor where everystroke recompiles, red warning in status bar while syntax is not OK (while still displaying the last good one), a 100loc canvas display window, done.
Thanks! I usually look for machines with unlimited transfer because otherwise it seems like they are trying to make all their money on transit.

Those VPS, while limited, actually come with what I would consider a fairly reasonable monthly quota (32T) for a low cost plan.
I’ve started doing the same. Folks’ reading comprehension is in the gutter these days. Bullet points help structure thoughts and ideas.
Waitwhile | VP/SVP Marketing | Remote | Fulltime | https://waitwhile.com/

At Waitwhile, we work on tools to eliminate the 1 Trillion hours that people spend waiting in lines every year. We help companies like IKEA, Lululemon, Hartford HealthCare and many others improve waiting for over 100M people (including a lot of COVID-19 vaccination lines right now!)

We're a bunch of engineers and designers building great product and technology - but we know next to nothing about Marketing and how to build a brand.

So to that end, we're looking for our first outrageously good marketing leader (VP/SVP/CMO) to build our marketing strategy from the grounds up. We're posting this here on HN since we want someone who is technical and excited about doing scrappy and clever things.

We're profitable and raised a Series A ($12M) from CRV recently to go faster, so we have some good capital to invest in great marketing.

If you're interested, send me (the CEO) an email at christoffer@waitwhile.com or check out the job posting on https://waitwhile.com/jobs
Agreed. I really wish they would adopt `export`. It's not like `set` is any better.

As a general principle, when there is a "they-said she-said" situation, and the certain facts about one side of the story don't add up, from my perspective that increases the odds that the other side is telling the truth.

I have no idea what Google's standards are for letting a paper be published. My guess is that they don't make standards up on the fly, and no unique standards are applied to Timnit and not to literally everyone else.

> Keep in mind the feedback was that you cannot publish this paper, and that isn't disputed by Google.

Yes, and that in itself makes me more likely to think there is some benign, standard reason for not allowing publication rather than some nefarious motive about suppressing Timnit or hiding their own guilt, or whatever reason Timnit has provided as to why she thinks Google doesn't want the paper published.

If the argument is "Google won't let me publish this paper because it's too dangerous for them", and then I look and see that there isn't really anything dangerous for Google in the paper, then I would say that perhaps the argument is incorrect as to the reasons Google wouldn't let them publish
Any model to recommend? Not sure if our usecases are the same -- I wanted to find a cheap "lower end of the market" phone to test my mobile game on. Frankly, the poco m3 might even be too powerful for that purpose...
I expected a sentiment analysis that marks drama threads.
> Let's not pretend that you are allowed to teach at Harvard, at least in certain departments, without a very specific political leaning. And certain other political leanings are not allowed in any department.

I can't speak to all of Harvard's departments, but I know it's completely possible to have a wide variety of political viewpoints in SEAS. The faculty itself is probably to the right of the immediately surrounding community (that that this means much in Boston Metro, but I think it's probably true in the case of SEAS).

> UC requires a mandatory "diversity statement" for faculty job applications:

Diversity statements typically focus on a certain type of service and teaching activity.

The "how it effects my teaching and advising" part of the statement could talk about making special efforts in your teaching to help first generation college students, or supporting students who aren't neurotypical, or being really good at working with the specific circumstances of students who come from non-traditional backgrounds (eg adult learners).

The outreach/service portion of the statement could discuss bringing resources to underserved rural communities. Or providing learning opportunities for prisoners. Or a million other things.

Source: actually did this. Got job offers.

The fact that you think writing a "diversity statement" means you have to fit a certain political mold says a lot more about what you think diversity means than about diversity statement requirements. The diversity statement is about proving that you can at the very least create an inclusive learning environment for people from non-traditional backgrounds. Why in god's name should this be political, or in fact not a requirement for a teacher?

Comparing diversity statements to statements of religious faith is absurd. If you can't write a page about eg helping autism spectrum students succeed in CS 1, and someone else can, then you might not be the best candidate for a CS 1 lecturer. Opinions on the Westminster Catechism, on the other hand, are not relevant to teaching students about linked lists.
There's nothing cowardly about apologizing when you hurt someone's feelings.

If your jokes are frequently poorly received by her then I would consider telling them to other people. Some jokes can be told to anyone but many have a limited audience.
They really should have option to match chrome shortcuts and windows.

Ctrl+Shift+N works in Chrome but in Firefox its Ctrl+Shift+P.
The problem with Facebook is that it's not exclusive - there are tons of alternatives.
Some even have better features (think Twitter or TikTok or Discord).
Nothing is stopping people from launching Facebook2, Facebook3, etc and having the same technology available - yet Facebook is the major player skyrocketing.
This is an example of the market being irrational longer than expected, in my book.

The value of bitcoin is not in the code, it's in the network. Arguing that the code that runs the network can just be copied is not a very compelling argument.
The $750 is for one board, the case in the article holds two of them.
I understand there is social pressure, but then pretty much anything can be bucketed under investment by this standard. Is a nice car and nice house also investment so the kids don't get rejected at school? At certain level of income, sacrifices need to be made, and I would argue Nikes and iPhones are luxuries, not necessities. e.g. you can get a pair of good quality shoes that costs less than Nikes, and a functional smart phone for less than an iphone.
What's the backstory here?
This is stupid. Google and Android is way worse than this.
I think it's to stop the HN equivalent of "doomscrolling" or mindlessly wasting time. If you have to wait then there's time to think, ok should I even be doing this right now?
> So all that being said, I genuinely wonder if cancel culture is here to stay

Insofar as “cancel culture” describes actual behavior rather than the ideology motivating it, it's been a constant part of society, from all ideological angles, for, approximately, all of human history. Shunning the heterodox is not new.

The only thing new is the right’s use of the term “cancel culture” to disparage this when it bites them; this replaces “political correctness”, which served the exact same purpose for the right from the 1980s until “cancel culture” became the new hotness.
Gestures vaguely towards the life and works of Orwell

This guy gets it
>> Passionate people are emotionally fickle. They dont make as good hires as you think. The ups and downs in productivity, engagement and team cooperation make them unreliable over the long term.

This is prejudice, nothing more. In the literal sense of the word "preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience". You simply can't say what people are like in advance.

EDIT: a more appropriate definition: preconceived judgment or opinion.
>you honestly think that this is a new thing that never used to happen?

No, but I do think it's a lot easier for someone to tweet out an inappropriate joke or get caught on video doing something obnoxious today--that have at least the potential to blow up to a greater degree than a few decades ago.

The fact that a cancellation I undergo now will be seen as unjust after I'm elderly does nothing for me.
