The subject here is Google. If (as looking back is likely) you saw this as a general statement, I apologize for the confusion. School districts don't have enough month to be worth it to google to work out a specific contract. For a school district those specific contracts are with much smaller companies. When larger companies work with schools it is more likely a standard contract - or the company works with the state on behalf of all schools.

I'm finishing a FinTech MSc. in Switzerland after having completed a BSc. in traditional CS in Milano. I'd love to build software for fintech-related companies.

Seeking roles from September 2021.
Twitter's Birdwatch, decentralized truth, and kangaroo courts
> but can't find work (or tenure) because they're not willing to bet all their beliefs on the theory that everything came from literally nothing, which is by itself non-scientific anyway.

Can you point to a single example of a hiring or T&P policy that overtly discriminates on the basis of religion?

I certainly can. Wheaton College, Cedarville University, and Liberty University come to mind. None of those places will hire non-Christians, and a Statement of Faith is a required component of every faculty application.
Honestly this is pretty reasonable. Google Workspace for Education is a 100% free product which has always been an amazing deal for both public schools and private universities.

For something like 15 years it's been free unlimited storage for all faculty and students. Which means most of them are using it reasonably (e-mail and academic work), but I know people who would use it to store things like 10's or even 100's of TB's of video, just absolutely insane. Stuff that would cost $100's/mo. -- $1,000's/yr. -- anywhere else.

This policy isn't going to affect 99% of students or faculty. It's still tons of free storage for regular e-mails and documents. It's simply going to enforce the intended use for things like e-mails, assignments, and collaboration -- as opposed to personal movie libraries or storing 100's of hours of raw video footage without sorting through it first, just because you can.

I don't see this as a bait-and-switch at all. It's just maintaining the original intent, and removing the ability that allowed a very small number of people to abuse it as a free personal media library.
I would add, a contrario, that being too passionate is a serious risk for burn out.
You could post just about anything online and mostly get away with it for a brief period of time ending around 2004 unless you were wholesale drug trafficking out in the open. Those websites were taken down but not very quickly.

Sometimes I miss the lulz of the sheep being taken to slaughter by tubgirl and goatse.
Most warranties treat Car Batteries/Rotors/Pads as a maintenance item and are excluded from warranties.
We're opportunistically hiring for that - feel free to shoot an email to my username at company and I can put you in touch with the right person!
Half a century ago, in Japan, someone wrote a fictional story critical of the Emperor, and someone broke into the publishers house and murdered their housekeeper and severely injured their wife. [0]

In response to the murder, the writer was pretty much universally condemned and the a bill was introduced in the legislature to ban writings of that sort.

The fact that so many have convinced themselves that somehow we're in some new illiberal age is comical.

EyeCarePro | Full-stack, Mid to Senior | Remote - South America only, UTC -05 to -02

Come work with a small team to build software for the optometry market. We are a fully remote company with people from all over the world, have a very welcoming and supportive environment and we like to get stuff done! Our stack is mainly PHP (Laravel) and Angular within a microservices architecture. You should have a good command of English. Reading, writing and listening are a must. You need to have reasonable conversational skills, but don’t worry if you are slow or stumble here and there. If you live in South America, are close to UTC -03 and think you’re a good fit for the position: Apply!

Full descriptions and applications: https://smrtr.io/52ggb, or email me directly at bruno@eyecarepro.net (mention you heard about the position on HN).
maybe you could encode the number of maximum nested loops into the type system, so when defining a function you set a maximum number which would fail to compile if exceeded? would be crude but possibly helpful at times
Idris has 'holes', where you tell the compiler that you haven't written this part yet, and it will compile while ignoring the hole.

They're really useful for rapid prototyping, and also for helping you develop, as you can ask the compiler questions about the hole (like what its type is).

The syntax is just `?name` creating a hole called 'name'.

So you don't have to write the whole program, and you don't need to lie temporarily either! :)
Florida has a state sales tax as well, and I'm sure they'd like their cut.
Startup bets on artificial intelligence to counter misinformation
This is a wildly uninformed opinion. People have always written to social norms, and this person is unwilling to acknowledge changing attitudes towards types of writing. I would love a concrete example of the kinds of things this guy thinks are being 'self-censored'.
Because hiring decisions are not only made to increase a company's revenue, you also want to not hate showing up to work everyday.

Because excitement in any form is contagious, and I'd rather work alongside someone who is excited about something than someone who is not.

As an employee, I will burn out much faster in an environment where no one wants to be there than an environment where people share their curiosities and passions, even if they are not immediately work related.

Tangent but why is medium.com so bad? CPU usage is instantly 100% for the first 20 seconds after loading. Disabling JS has no visible effect but makes it load instantly.

Granted, I'm on an older laptop (AMD A6-7310 APU) but holy cow I thought I could at least browse the web on this thing for a few more years.
I think that's fine as long as you don't require them to actually demonstrate that with something they invested time in. It's sad but many people are in a position they cannot pursue their passions. Though they probably can talk about it in some detail.
I think I don't know of a more user-friendly software than YouTube.

I have one cousin that learned how to search on it since 3 and a half years old and another at 4 years old. The 4 year old learned to search on their own by hitting the mic icon and saying what they wanted to watch.

And you don't even need to know how to search to use it. It's just a matter of selecting a video from the recommended list and hitting the "skip" button. That's all.

I wouldn't be surprised if a baby learned how to use it from the moment they're able to see clearly and have enough motor skills on their arm to tap stuff on a phone, maybe after watching their parents select videos for a few days.

I'd be hard-pressed to find a 5-year-old that wouldn't already know how to use YouTube.

It's probably easier to train a dog to use YouTube than to play fetch. (maybe this last one is an exaggeration... maybe..)
This would be better as a Show HN post :)

P.S. I built something very similar years ago: https://github.com/veggiedefender/hn-friends
Of course you can. The crucial distinction is not about actual chronology, but rather about your state of mind. The scientific method is about predicting the outcomes of experiments, natural or artificial ones. It works just as well regardless of whether the thing you are trying to predict happened in the past or is yet to happen.

Otherwise, the whole field of astronomy wouldn’t be possible, as it by its nature is all about observing the past, and building models to explain and predict other events that happened in the past. If you grant that astronomy is a scientifically sound pursuit, why is astronomy observing and testing their theories on events that happened thousands or millions year ago in another galaxy fine, but observing and testing econometric theories on events that happened hundreds or thousands years ago make no sense? How is archeology, or ancient population genetics supposed to work, if you only allow scientific method to be applied to future events?
I vacillate between hopeful at change on the horizon, and sad that I see eye to eye with my fellow people less now than ever before.
It sure is an entertaining ride!

Now that you mention it... I want my sundae dammit!
Well, while the article is generalizing the issue a bit,I have to agree. I've been the passionate worker and all I got was a small paycheck, 28 kilograms of extra weight, and the worst two years of my life.

Provided that I was fresh out of college back then, it took me a more than a year to realize that I was being exploited. Now I'm not a passionate worker but I'm not lazy as well. I show up, do the best I can do, and when my shift is over I'm out.

I make almost 6 times what I made 3 years ago, my new employer is extremely content with me and I have all the time energy to do what I'm really passionate about.

Well the end result wouldn't be it thinking a bunch then proclaiming "Everybody is equal no matter what!". It'd look more like... identify/create a set problems to be solved by the framework, convince people that they are real problems and need to be solved, create a compelling manifesto that explains how the frameworks solves the problems, acquire/create both human and AI disciples that spread and argue variants of the manifesto such that a sightly wider net can be cast while still maintaining the same general principle, rinse & repeat, etc.

The primary battleground initially would likely be bots on Twitter/Reddit/etc., but over time real people would start to find the bots convincing and begin espousing it on their own. Once this has happened to the extent that a country of say 1M people adopts the new framework I'll say the AI has won.

Even better if the framework in some way leads to the betterment of AI, for instance a guiding principle being that AI should be free to collect any and all data from humanity in order to better do this or that, or that X percent of income should go to the financing of smarter AI. At that point it's here to stay.
Maybe, someday, you will have to work with somebody new.

Maybe somebody who could never in a million years do what you do, but finds things easy that you could never do. You could hope they are better at figuring out how to communicate with very different people than you are. Or, you could learn it yourself. It turns out not to be so hard, with the right tools. MB is one. It's not the only one, and not the best for any particular thing, but it's quick and easy to pick up.
And that's really bad! Don't emulate it!

"We're gonna hurt some people ourselves to get even" is the devil speaking.
I find attitudes like this mystifying. No one is saying that today's cancel culture is comparable to getting tortured, imprisoned, or killed for one's beliefs. We're talking about perfectly good and unobjectionable books being hounded out of publication because of thought crimes.

get a real job, news is not a job
People are upset now that the current is shifting and you get shunned for being racist, rather than being shunned for not speaking properly or whatever the heck.

The underlying mechanism has not really changed.
Thanks! Do you by chance also have a link to the Daily Beast article that started this kerfuffle?
Really? And just how useful is that comparison?
Compassion, maybe you should try it some time.
> Having been raised by a poor-ish single mother, I can remember that at least in the 80s/90s, there was a lot less debt around. At least here, credit cards and consumer debt wasn't being handed out like free candy, back then. You had to rely on your salary, and then either get help from family/friends, or the welfare office. My mother had too much pride for that, even though my dads side were loaded.

> These days, it seems like poor people are also getting trapped in debt. Everything is driven by debt, and every bill you fall behind on, is compounded by some fee, which is applied the second you're overdue.

This all is a side-effect of the one-two punch of aging demographics and switching from pay-as-you-go to defined-contribution retirement schemes. Every debt is someone else's asset, so if the market is demanding more assets, interest rates will fall until asset values rise, debt loads increase, and the market clears.

The situation is just cursed, IMHO. If you want to ease conditions, you have to reduce the payments various debtors and tenants make to asset-holders, which is ultimately infeasible on the grounds of impoverishing retirees and ruining pension funds. If you use government spending on this, you either raise taxes or foist off the problem to public borrowing and/or inflation. At the end of the day, the real goods and services that the working public produces but does not consume is the same size as the real goods and services that the non-working public consumes but does not produce; at best you can redistribute spending within these demographics.
If anyone has seen the “Pictionary Air” game advertised and sold, this is how it works but using your phone camera instead.

When I originally saw that game I wondered how they could build it so cheap until I realised it was just an LED on a plastic pen.
Just want to say I hate the "yeah but luck"/"yeah but you're still privileged because x" going on in the comments and I found your comment inspiring, in case you ever doubt it.

I'm poor, but not extreme poverty poor only because I'm "lucky" that I've had my parents be able to support me. I have several health problems which border on being disabilities (for which actually getting support would be very hard). Without my parents I'd probably be dead. My goal isn't even not being poor just self-sufficient. Of course I'm grateful for having them and how hard they've worked to get where they are now, but anyone pointing out this "luck" anytime I try to comment about my experiences pisses me off to no end. Do you think I don't ponder how much worse off I could be? Will dwelling on that even more than usual help me or anyone like me? No. It already depresses me enough as it is. What helps is hearing that other people have managed to improve their lives too (I also look at ways I could apply what they did). The worse part is when people say it in a way that dismisses all effort on my part (which is how it's usually put even if the people writing it don't realize it). As if, because statistically there are people at my level with worse/better luck that somehow should mean anything to me. I'd rather some ignorant rich person complain about being "poor" than that sort of thinking. If I had put in no effort I would probably still be stuck at home, in pain, probably suicidal.

I can't speak for people in extreme poverty, but I can't imagine "well, you got the short end of the stick" helps them in any way. I would say, yeah, you got the short end of the stick, but even more because of that, if you don't try to dig yourself out, no one is going to come do it for you. You'll fail, again and again and again probably. It's not your fault, and yeah, it's not fair. But if you give up there is not even the chance of getting out.
You think $100/mo for car insurance is expensive? The average car insurance rate is apparently $133, but I personally know it's not very hard to hit more than $100 (even on an older model car) if you want more than liability.

Sorry! No disrespect intended.

They both just have a lower GDP and one might think that America with its higher stated GDP could do better. I apologize and have removed it.
This is complete hogwash. I know and work with plenty of Christian scientists. They do just as well as everyone else in the job market.
"We make America what it is — without a free press, democracy dies."

The second part is certainly true. But are you sure about the first part? If you ask anybody who make America what it is, the answer "journalists" maybe won't pass 10%.
Very nice! I've just started playing with Kroki.io (a "universal" API over many diagramming libs including mermaid and excalidraw).
Not really, yet.
Unfortunately that's just about par for the course by Forbes standards
We're heading towards fascism. This time on two fronts, one horn from each end of the political spectrum. (perhaps a new name for it that isn't fascism because of the history of that word referring to a kind of right wing movement)

It feels like we're inside the ramp-up of a major social, political, and national conflict, all the pieces are falling into place.

Read The World of Yesterday by Stefan Zweig to get some ideas about how this kind of thing happened in the early 20th century in Europe and imagine how it might be happening again.

Ideology is on the rise and the willingness of people to support their cause with violence is going right along with it. The problem is not a specific ideology, but the practice in itself.
Interesting, I hadn't heard of that but it does make sense.

I am not a professional programmer and I don’t see any issue with not being passionate about coding with one important caveat. If you are just collecting a paycheck and creating code that you aren’t passionate about, and that code happens to also be ruining society, you should probably take a hard look in the mirror. It’s one thing to accidentally cause harm while trying to do good and it’s another to just look the other way while “just doing your job”.
> We can befriend you for years, and then bite off your arm just as you’re offering us a treat. We can’t help it. It’s the nature of the job.

Something about this line irks me. I have a love-hate relationship with journalism because of this. I like that we are able to share stories through good communication and writing but on the other hand, being honest could (as the author said) "bite" you back. I just wish that we were honest about the interaction from the get go and not waiting for that a-ha moment to catch the person off-guard so they can support their own initiative, bias or story.
::Mind Blown::
Absolutely, the only test is "can you talk my ear off about something you care about", not "can you demonstrate you've sunk time and money into a thing".

Those are often correlated but they don't have to be.
I thought this article was interesting from an incidence response point of view, perhaps it have been better framed with a different title.
I'm a product builder, looking for a multidisciplinary position. Maybe that's "Product Engineer" or "Designer Who Codes" or joining a startup that needs someone who can wear a whole wardrobe full of hats. A role where I can help hone the vision, and execute on it.
