I doubt that. SpaceX was going to make Falcon 9 fully reusable, and it wouldn’t have been crippling. Might be too small to launch a full crewed Dragon or 60 Starlinks, but I doubt if its payload would’ve even been halved compared to partial reuse.

This is a Fulltime remote position with healthcare, equity, and competitive compensation.

We're looking for somebody that has experience in high-performance scaled web applications. Ideally, you've also got strong react & WebGL experience, but we will happily chat if you are 'just' a really sharp software engineer with an EE/Hardware background.

This. And you only spoke political jokes to really close friends.
Very little of that is new ("You'll never work in this town again" is an old statement).

What has changed is that the Internet and the associated record of a person's conduct online can make the town very, very big indeed.
moral panics and the resulting witch-hunting/burning is feature of humanity that comes and goes. the mob always thinks it's a good idea in the moment, but history never looks fondly upon it.
Vetspire | Senior Software Engineer | Remote | Austin, TX | Full-Time | https://vetspire.com
Vetspire is an AI-driven medical records and practice management platform for veterinarians. We’re a startup that builds the technology suite that powers veterinary hospitals, impacting every aspect of patient care from AI assistance in the exam room to managing client communications and clinical analytics.

We're looking for a full stack engineer to join our small and technical team to continue to bring veterinarians’ dreams into fruition. Your day to day work will consist of learning and understanding veterinarians' needs and bringing them into reality from the front-end to the backend. Some examples of what your weeks may look like:

* building remote tools for pet owners to sign consent forms, pay invoices, and fill in information online so they don't have to walk into the clinics during the pandemic

* creating an emergency room clinical census to monitor patients and alert staff in real-time

* designing the interface and algorithms for intelligent immunization reminders.

You'll be working directly with the thousands of veterinarians and staff using Vetspire every day, and talking with them often to better understand their needs and iterate on solutions with them. It's an incredibly fulfilling role to be able to make such a drastic difference in the lives of vets, and ultimately, everyone's pets. It's half-part engineering, half-part problem-solving.

Our backend tech stack is a GraphQL Phoenix/Absinthe application written in Elixir, our frontend is using React with the Apollo GraphQL framework, our primary database is PostgreSQL, and it all runs on Google Cloud via Kubernetes.

Email me if interested at sam@vetspire.com (include "HN" in the subject), or view more information here: https://jobs.lever.co/vetspire/7db76974-453a-49dd-be68-d9695...
I think the point is this had been around for a while, and what people are calling "cancel culture" is the same old-same old, but with (hopefully) less prison/death.

There's nothing new about receiving negative feedback for having and expressing unpopular opinions. That's really common in pretty much every single social group I've been in, including on HN.

When in college my prof dared me to switch from bash to fish (because he thought it would be a funny failure) and I'm still using it today. It's a fantastic shell!
100% this, there is an extremely small, extremely vocal minority which gets amplified by social media and the media tends to report on this small group as its views are outrageous and generate outrage which in turn generate clicks and ad revenue for those outlets. Boring dependable/sensible government is not something that generates huge ad revenue.
It has also been hundreds of years of Western history since the intellectual class was driving this "punishment", and that was when religion and education were tightly linked.

The problem isn't that ideologues are new, it is that ideology has seeped into the highest levels of education and culture. You have people across the spectrum of disciplines and stances afraid to contradict the received knowledge of the masses (or one of usually two sects).

This hasn't been the case for a LONG TIME.

You are absolutely right.

I live in the Bay Area now, which everyone knows has absurd rental prices. In my home town, I can rent a comparable sized apartment to what I have now for around 1/3 what I currently pay. But, there's no way I could earn 1/3 the income I make as a Bay Area software engineer working at a non-remote job in my home town.

Even making 1/4 what I'm making would be highly optimistic. I just did a search on Google for "$HOMETOWN $HOME_STATE jobs," and pretty much everything I could qualify for was retail level jobs. In my home town, that means probably $10/hour, or, $20k/year, if you can manage to get full time hours. Even in retail management, it would be tough to hit 1/5 of what I make now. Add in student loans, which are a fixed expense, no matter where I go, unless I want to go to a repayment plan that depends on my income and never pay them off, and we see the advantage goes squarely to the Bay Area.

Now, imagine starting in my home town and actually making it to the Bay Area. If you move with a job already lined up, you'll need to have at least 1 month's rent + 1 month security deposit saved up, plus moving expenses. First month's rent and security deposit will be at least $3500. Think about how long it takes to save up $3500 making $20k per year. Then, think about how this doesn't include moving expenses, which, even if everything you own fits in your personal vehicle, is going to amount to another several hundred for gas and probably at least one night in a hotel if you drive. Call it another $500.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, at $20k per year in my home town, you're probably either spending 35-40% of your gross income on rent, or living with roommates. So, good luck saving up nearly 1/4 of your gross annual income just to GTFO.
After the 2008 crash, it became politically impossible to let house prices drop, so the government will basically do anything to prop them up. Too many elderly voters who depend on their home equity to fund their lifestyles. I think we'll look back at 2020 as the moment the same political pressure happened to stock market prices.
Having worked there before, yes it's easy to do that to students. Admin staff and (tenured) faculty, less so.
And you know what's the cherry on the sundae?

A certain sect of people who signal/preach love and equity the loudest - almost always preach it in a 'for thou, not for me' sense. I had coworkers who would live in the whitest neighborhoods, fighting against lower-income housing near their homes, voting for the tallest of fences, and then they come into work and scoff at how X is a Trumpie because of one thing they said, and Y's team isn't hiring enough diverse candidates.

I chose to separate myself from having any stake in the outcomes (I am retired, with enough of nest egg to live comfortably regardless of political zeitgeist) and this game that is being played is extremely entertaining to watch.

To me the problem seems to be old-school C programmers thinking that they don't need to use a library to parse a standard format. I have only ever seen JSON parsing errors in C and C++ codebases because they are the only languages where developers seem to think it's a good idea to parse JSON using string functions rather than a JSON parser.
That's good for them, but I could randomly lose my own Google account at any time and I'm not famous enough to go viral and get on their customer service radar, so I'd be screwed and have no recourse.

Even if I was interested in game streaming, I'm not putting any more eggs in this basket.

One is a legal framework with rules that govern how it is applied, even if you don't like that framework you can understand it. Cancel culture on the other hand does not have a specific set of rules. It is constantly changing and unevenly enforced by random people. When things are wildly unpredictable there is fear.
>It’s also not unheard of for those who grew up poor to overspend their wealth at the first signs of success, because they’ve never known how to manage money at that scale.

That was really my point: it's ok to not go buy a condo in Aspen the second you can afford it. The original poster was saying he knows he's being overly frugal. OK, fine. My counter-example of TMND was don't feel you need to move to a flashy conspicuous consumption lifestyle either.
> But he wasn't public about his identity prior to this,

I don't understand how people make this claim when had given out most of his real name, his profession, his state, and the kind of work he did.

Finding SSC from his real name was easy, and finding his real name from SSC was easy.

How many real alternatives are there though aside from OpenCL? Not to mention if you're interested in targeting something that isn't an Nvidia GPU.
> “Euro’s a dollar, Euro’s a dollar twenty, oh, Euro’s a dollar again” just sounds less dramatic than “Bitcoin’s $40K, Bitcoin’s $50K, omg, Bitcoin’s lost $10K and is $40K again!”

Six months ago, Bitcoin was literally selling for 25% of its current price (~$11,500), and about half its rise has been in the last two months.

Twenty years ago, the Euro didn't look that volatile. It bottomed out at ~70% of its previous high, and it took two years to get there.

These things go in and out of the news cycle so fast that I'm surprised companies care anymore. If they just ignored the mob, the list of "cancelled" companies would quickly grow so long that nobody could even keep track.
Be right back, a bit busy at the moment, am booked up all morning to do interviews on major news networks about how I'm cancelled and no longer have free speech.
"Conservative" once meant politics parties that presumed that the current rules, the current norms worked well and preferred slow change. It sounds to me as if the word will lose that meaning in the US completely quite soon, and come to mean something in the vicinity of "racist and/or deceitful".

Sigh.
I am greatly saddened to hear this. I came to know about him through his work on fexprs (he was one of the world's leading experts on fexprs due to his work on Kernel). His insights on language design, his general willingness to share his own learning process, and his seemingly unquenchable curiosity will be missed. Of interest to those here might be his many posts on LtU [0].

Rust is mainstream on HN, not in the real world. Because "Uber" or whatever unicorns uses it doesn't make you mainstream.

I've been wondering how much cancel culture is affecting journalism right now. The way it affects won't be clear since it seems stating that you're self censoring due to cancel culture makes you a target of said culture. Also, I imagine for journalists it's not easy to admit to self censoring. Confronting cancel culture is a big risk to take.

But how would you measure the effects of it? As a (mainly) reader, I have no clue if the writer omitted something due to their fear. Hell, the writer might not realize it.
If you haven't seen it, check out the movie PCU. It's from 1994 or so but could be written today.. it couldn't be made though.
> "I think there are very valid parts of this argument about appropriation of voice," he added, saying he believes "we do have the obligation to teach ourselves and to do research and to treat people with respect if we're going to have them feature in our work".

> He said there must be "decency towards people outside of one's own immediate experience".

This is the key point. If you are not doing your research, misrepresenting people or not showing the respect people deserve you should to be called out. From my point of view it looks like the people complaining about self-censorship are just being told to show common decency and they don't like that
