Getting into the realm of Reddit tier comments in replying to this...

But in a genuine attempt to clear you up -

The people who made Nazi Germany a thing were "just citizens of Germany supporting the policy of the German government."

Institutions, such as YC, typically tend to have a set of morals/guidelines that they follow (and usually clearly state)

If it so happens that a policy of the US government goes against said morals/guidelines and you're in support of them... as what most see as a pretty important part of being in the US, they're free to give you the boot from their institution.

If they who be booted perceive their bootening as something that is illegal, they're also free to sue. Whether or not that lawsuit is credible/goes anywhere is up to a judiciary.
A house in a major tech hub is more valuable than one in the sticks because tech workers can command higher wages there than elsewhere.

They are more "productive" on that land. They'll tend to outbid other potential users, at least if tech gentrification complaints are to be believed.

This all falls in line with the theory imho.

I don't think there's any real difference between that and good soybean land, or goat raising land or whatever that Ricardo wrote about.

The general idea is that for non-remote office workers, housing is a factor of production.
I bet it felt good to create an account for a website just so you could log in and say "how are all the domestic terrorists Trump supporters doing after the capitol riot?".

That's pretty much the online equivalent of peeling-out in your car and thinking it made you look awesome.
I've read that up to 76% of the medical professional in some EU countries are refusing the vaccine, so I wonder why they do that if the science is so valid.

Antivaxx craze and fake news network effects can only explain so much.
It makes me chuckle when hash maps are stated to be O(1) insertions. Which is true, in respect to the number of items in the map, assuming the map doesn't need resizing and there isn't a hash collision... but it's generally not true in respect to the key length. (I think most implementations are O(ln), where l is the length of the key and n is the number of inserted items, assuming the hash function is O(l) - the _amortised_ runtime would be O(l))
Cool stuff mate! Searching for sscanf in github produces over 19 million results with over 15 million in C code. I bet there might be few cases where it could be replaced with something else... :) (not saying it's not useful function when used correctly)
> Another reason for your Ukraine friends not wanting to move to Germany is because in one single comment you somehow made it clear that your cleaner is an African refugee and that Ukraine is poorer. Let that sink in.

I am a software engineer from Ukraine. Why do you assume I should get offended by these factual statements made by the OP?
I have noticed this a lot too. I'd guess is has to do with the importance of conferences over journals in CS (as opposed to nearby fields where journals dominate). Conferences tend to be more informal and forgiving of titles like that.

Of course this is just a preprint. If they ultimately publish it somewhere the editors/reviewers may make them give a more conservative title.
How is a home screen app icon different from a tab in your browser, if it leads to what is essentially a web app? I count such apps as a success wrt "betting on the web".

Sadly, the capabilities of PWAs are very much second class on every mobile platform right now. But I don't think it will stay that way forever.
Alienating 50% of customers, and lets be honest these are the stupider customers you can more easily monetize, is not a good move for anyone trying to make money, which is the point of a startup.

A well thought out Gab that was politically neutral will be able to steal the most engaged facebook users and then then sell them gold, guns and bibles, or whatever else those folks enjoy in their spare time.

This isn't an issue of morals, it's an issue of money.
When I was five, the things I wanted most were a Power Rangers Dragonzord and an Easy Bake Oven. Never got either... It's fine that your childhood preferences aligned perfectly with gender stereotypes, but experiences vary.

As an aside to the potentially harmful aspect of stereotypes in childhood, I think I could have been more athletic. Not an athlete, mind you, but I definitely had the physical prowess to have learned to enjoy sports as a child. But adults told me I was smart, and the culture told me that smart people didn't enjoy physical activity.
made with cells derived from cells extracted from an aborted fetus and then passaged (grow to several 100 cell divisions on a plate, suspend in solution, discard 99% of cells, repeat hundreds of times, eventually magic happens). To call the vaccine "made from aborted fetal cells" is their argument, but it elides an astounding amount of distance between the cells used for virus production and actual aborted fetal cells.
> I also do not trust chinese vaccine and their manufacturing process.

Maybe you could have phrased that in a way that's not so racist?

EDIT: I sometimes try to explain that I expect such things to be posted with almost 100% certainty, and that it's not nice to read such things that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26322291 so I must insist: you may not trust a company or manufacturing process, but not trusting anything at all from a given country is racism
If your business logic is in C - well you are in luck! Use emscripten to compile this to WASM and you can use it in the browser. This approach is very much viable. Large scale commercial web-applications like Figma are written in C++.
The observers also have not made it to this thread. They would be second party. We are hearing from people who have heard from observers. At least two links of trust necessary.
(I've worked in adtech for over 15 years.)

Advertising is just applied sociology, and sociology is just applied statistics. So statistically significant and unbiased sampling is what makes advertising work.

Highly-targeted and personalized ads are a crutch due to the fact that unbiased sampling is pretty much impossible on the internet. (There's a joke about this: "an online poll has shown that internet penetration has now reached 100 percent".)

Neither advertisers nor publishers actually want to collect high-resolution data, it's a huge cost with very little benefit.
Have you ever heard of Snowflake?
It's not that it's satire per se. It's that the satire is teasing a certain type of game and gamers.
Because Apple would be selling to themselves. There is no markup, and the chips could be sold into consumer machines as well. This would allow scaled costs because production can be both for data centers and consumer products simultaneously.

X86 not only suffers from poor performance / power / thermal each chip sold has to return for Intel or AMD too.

The facilities that run these machines must be bigger, provide more power and work harder to keep cool while resulting in less actual compute.

It’s hard to compete on price when the architecture is unexpectedly antiquated and vertical integration through chip design either doesn’t exist or is pales in comparison.
One rather insidious one I'd never considered prior was that lowercase n is one bit from '.'. So you can also bitsquat on things like, say, wwwngoogle.com or mailngoogle.com.

A researcher brought this to my attention years ago with a set of domains in particular I won't name. What was most interesting to me is just how frequent bit errors must happen. According to the research, they'd basically received thousands of emails destined for the correct domain. Really makes you think.
This kind of quoting of a "scary sounding" statistic is why people get called anti-vaxx. You heard something, and are repeating it with the intent to cause people to worry, without providing any actual facts.

I looked it up. 76% of "nursing home staff" in France are refusing the vaccine. I don't generally take my vaccination advice from people working in care homes, and the Reuters article implies that it is generally because these employees are skeptical of the government, not on any scientific basis: https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-france-va...
Despicable action by a company that is too big to not be facing anti trust enforcement.

Cite or you get a downvote. Name the country and the vaccine type.

Would I take any of Moderna, J&J, etc. developed under scrutiny and forced to open their data to the public? Sure.

Would I take one of the Russian or Chinese vaccines that have had questionable data releases? Probably not.
I have no idea what you are trying to say.
The app? It won't be harder to maintain, yes.

But the framework? That will have to be updated when each OS the framework runs on changes.

The HTML controls are used by a ton of stuff, so they're quite likely to be updated. Your framework? I have to really, really trust you that you'll update them.

Look at how Motif or GTK or AWT or Swing or Tk widgets look on modern OSes. There's an entire graveyard of cross platform UI libraries out there.
In an email obtained by BuzzFeed News, an AWS Trust and Safety team told Parler Chief Policy Officer Amy Peikoff that the calls for violence propagating across the social network violated its terms of service. Amazon said it was unconvinced that the service’s plan to use volunteers to moderate calls for violence and hate speech would be effective.

“Recently, we’ve seen a steady increase in this violent content on your website, all of which violates our terms," the email reads. "It’s clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with the AWS terms of service.”

An Amazon spokesperson declined to comment on the suspension.

As someone who also enjoys reading text, I tend to read the domain name before following a link, if only because some web site, like the NYT, aren't worth clicking on due to my lack of a subscription.

In any case, there have already been three links to text articles on the topic: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=fal...

The media isn't reporting them? You can get the stats directly from the states, all of which are vaccinating nursing homes aggressively. Are the leaders of these states all conspiring?
Uhm well yes, medical products are nearly universally regulated. And often don't make it past customs - it's pretty suspect to try to ship a regulated product without proper documentation.
My main dealings with them were, in my most-cash strapped days, delivering Postmates orders to their buildings. They also serve the valuable service of not having to explain to the delivery guy how to get into the building. Much longer notes from the people whose buildings were not manned.

I've heard mixed reviews from both vaccines. I suspect it's the underlying disease. You either get it or you barely feel it right?
Anecdotal as fuck, but it seems to me it's the same with the vaccines, and if that's the case, if you had a bad reaction to the vaccine, you probably would've had a bad reaction if you had contracted the disease.

Count yourself lucky.
I also know people who reacted exactly backwards. The first shot was terrible and the second shot barely noticeable.

However, as someone who got Covid, I wish I could have had the opportunity to skip 2 weeks of misery and months of recovery in return for 2-3 days of a reaction.
For past planes that's fine, but it seems that they released the 737 Max knowing that there would be life-threatening safety issues, and has justice been served? Have the responsible parties been jailed for murder? Has the stock market been revised to prioritize safety and lives over "earnings"? What happened?

Oh, they just paid a big fine? I guess they now just have less money to correct safety issues and management issues, and probably need to cut some more budget corners after the fine. Should I trust a fund-starved aircraft manufacturer with my life?

> People want native apps.

I would argue that people want a certain quality experience. They don't care about whether the developer used Swift or Javascript or OCaml to deliver it.

The Web does usually deliver a certain baseline experience, and most platforms actually deliver a browser which mostly matches platform experience.

For native apps, there is a wide variety of things which you may or may not be able to do based on what the developers implemented and whatever their chosen toolkit supports - including toolkits which reimplement their own drawing, widget and event systems and does not support accessibility or even consistent copy/paste.

For web apps, you do have to somewhat actively have to break this stuff as a developer.

The article also says that they're under bankruptcy administration, so these decisions shouldn't be seen as a vote on the safety of a particular type, they're simply trying to cut their losses. For the routes they are still serving, using a single type of aircraft (the 737 NG) is the most cost-effective.
You are going to be downvoted by so called experts from the West who think they know how the world works, and their way is the only right way.
How to Reignite Skills as a Big Data Analyst in 2021
You should take any vaccine because - unless you are young - the risk from vaccination is dwarfed by the risk of being infected by the virus. And make no mistake, you will eventually be exposed.
> No, it isn't what we're talking about. We're talking about making categorical statements that are false.

That's not what we're talking about. Describing multiplication as repeated addition as a way of teaching a new concept to elementary school children is simply not lying.

Your issue is that the fact it is a simplified model is not being explicitly told to students, which is being called lying. While it would be false to say that a simplified model is the complete picture, teachers aren't standing up in class and saying "this is all there is to this subject, no need to learn any more!".

My main issue with your suggestion is that young students simply aren't going to remember a side comment at the beginning of their classes that this isn't the full picture -- so you will either have to repeat this regularly (which will be demoralising and confusing) or there really is no strong benefit to doing so.

You say that the "categorical statement" is not being repeated with each sentence -- but the thing is that when students use or discuss the tools they've learned, they're reinforcing their mental model of how the tool works. So in a way, the simplified model is being repeatedly reinforced in their mind. If you want to counteract it, saying once at the beginning of each class that introduces a new concept "this isn't the full picture" won't help most students overcome the issues they hit when they learn their old model doesn't work for more complicated problems.

> I have never said they should be told that.

You misunderstood what I said -- I said that constantly being told that what they're learning is "not the real theory" (or however you want to phrase) is demoralising in of itself -- it needlessly gives the impression to students that they're not smart enough to understand "the real theory". I never claimed that you said that teachers should say that explicitly.
Ah, reminds me of the time I ran through $15k worth of compute in all of 3 weeks trying to do biological modeling. What was strange was that we were being charged for higher bandwidth even though it was not said to be any more for that same instance even if the usage stayed the same. We switched to Digital Ocean after that and that problem went away and had an all you can eat set of arguably better systems (32 CPUs vs 16) for $640 a month per device. So yeah, really do your homework, keep up with the notifications, and realize that they LOVE people like you! Why do you think cloud companies are so rich? Every startup idea gets put on there and either forgotten or blows up and ends up spending more in services. So yes, keep this in mind moving forward and dont listen to people who swear by AWS for x y of a feature because chances are they dont actually know what's going on behind the hood but have had to he trained it or heard about it in tech interviews if they are a cs person.
Welcome to JavaScript.
This FT article mentions the 76%, but the reference article is paywalled. It talks about specifically nursing home employees, so your skepticism is well warranted.

Relax I just wrote from memory - I remembed the number, not the source, but someone gave an actual source. Happy?

> Would I take one of the Russian or Chinese vaccines that have had questionable data releases? Probably not.

I will happily take any vaccine that has been tested over 10M peoplefor over 1 year - even better if it's a tried and true old technology (not mRNA) like at least Astra Zeneca.

Until then, I will wait and let the other find out the potential dangers for me.

I am young and healthy, almost no risk, so waiting won't change my plans or behaviours.

And I don't presume to tell anyone what they should do (even if I really prefer if everybody got vaccinated, for herd immunity) - just what I am doing for myself.

I use gab quite frequently but mainly for the memes and jokes. The vast majority of people on there use pseudonymous aliases anyways so no one cares if the site gets hacked. People on the right-wing have also been subject to extensive persecution (harassment, doxing etc.) from the left-wing so we're all quite used to it by now.

I'm been trying to teach as many people as possible about how to stay anonymous online, how to use high-privacy tools and why using technologies like monero is extremely important.
Your argument will hold true if social media companies act as a platform and don't censor or intervene.

In reality they take sides and push their agenda so this is bound to happen. Companies coming together to de-platform Trump and Twitter CEO admitting that twitter employees are left leaning are very good examples of why this would happen.
Perhaps ironically his comments strike me as those of someone mentally ill. They make me feel sorry for him.

This is obviously false. The IRS software handles everything TurboTax does and more. As does the software that professional accountants use, such as ATX

Also: TurboTax's many retail competitors like HR Block.

Even if it were true that no overlap could have occurred between the cohorts and the pricing/existence of the AB product has no externalities upon the PD product, it's not "fine." It’s a total ripoff by a company that's supposed to be their partner.
Why not simply allow that person to be offended? Why care? Is it necessary to capitulate to every complainer that shows up and claims your culture is offending them? Just let them complain about the santa hat. Hopefully as far away as possible.
But those are the "experts" from the West. They believe that censoring Trump was correct but a country who wants to save it's sovereignty is incorrect and should not happen. It goes against their narrative.
