It would be easier to identify these places if it was the best and the brightest that left. Those with confidence and/or the financial stability to not worry about it can leave. There are plenty of very good and very bright people that don't fall into those categories for one reason or another (young, external factors making it risky to leave, etc).
> The police didn’t make him do these crimes on the dark web (before they even got involved).

I tend to always assume the police are lying in the United States. How do we know they weren't doing this longer than they say?

I have been working on a little Gemini server project this week just to get familiar with it. I am worried no one will see it, or care.

How do I make sure people actually see it assuming I "finish" tonight? Seems like GUS is not updating anymore.
Apple's TTM revenue was $274B. So that's over $1B a year? I wouldn't throw away that kind of cash. Yes it's small as a percentage but it's still a very large number.
Here’s the problem: you cite anecdotes of second- and third-hand stories that are exceptional at best, implausible at worst, then you claim these to be representative of the common case. They are not.

There have now been hundreds of millions of infections, worldwide. Of these, the vast majority (>99.9%) resolve with no major sequelae. These are facts. People need to know this.
They’re even more useless than that. They’re exactly like those webpages that sell you a certificate that you own a particular star.

It’s literally that. Someone giving you a slip of paper ”You own Mona Lisa” and nothing more. The actual piece of art is elsewhere. Copyrights are not affected etc.
DeFi is actual DeSpec, tools for decentralized speculation on things with no intrinsic value.
Many engineers of today and tomorrow would much prefer a large apartment in tokyo with SF weather than droll american suburbia and the worst of all worlds that is american city life with bad transit, choking car life and a lack of safety and hygiene due to a failure of public institutions.

Millenials have show a preference for good cities, %50+ of SV engineers are immigrants from all over the world. A truely urban SV would be amazing.
US spending more than average OECD country on education in relative terms (GDP) and even more in absolute terms due to higher GDP

It's just that high absolute amount of medicare spending throws off the comparison.

This article was promoted by Google's PR blog and the conference is ultra selective (probably excessively selective). Hyped results deserve extra criticism. And no, they didn't do any useful ablation experiments.
It might definitely be leaving, giving the same result.
This is an odd comparison.

I think DaVinci was way before Newton.

High school students aren't asked to invent calculus just to understand it.

I didn't invent djikstras graph traversal algorithm but I can read and understand it.

I think there's a difference between original invention and understanding 'n usage.
“Think of the children” is a tool to manipulate people. It’s not an end-goal in itself, especially if it costs a lot of money.
I agree with this too. The overwhelming majority of people writing software today have no public code or other artifacts. That means most companies have to assess a potential hire’s skills without seeing any public work and are therefore used to doing this.

That doesn’t mean pato11’s advice is bad. This can be an effective way to have a career. It’s just not the most common or even a particularly easy way. It just seems that way because operating in this open source world is more visible.
It's not quite a lie, just a very narrow scope. The implied context of "think of the children" is usually something like, "Think of how horrible it would be if the children were exposed to temptations like sex and drugs." Other aspects of children's welfare don't figure as highly in the calculus of those who espouse this slogan.
I'd be interested to know if this happens more or less in different fields, and whether or not this has an impact on people's careers, again by field.
I suggest we burn all gifs. Whether that leads to what you said is for you and others to decide :)
I always cringe when I have to interview someone with a masters degree in computer science because in my interview I ask a FizzBuzz style question and CS masters people, for whatever reason, don't have a good record (for me) with questions like that. Plus, it's just more awkward watching someone flub the question and thinking about CS education (which I assume from my undergrad experience is much more math, algorithms, theory, and pseudocode) versus programming in practice which, in our case, is much more about "implement this straightforward logic".
The Myth of Mass Incarceration
> I’ve driven almost 20k miles in the past 3.5 months.

Wow. I drive everyday, but this is a lot of driving. You're looking at nearly 70,000 miles/year at that rate. Out of curiosity, what requires you to drive this much? And is it worth the tens of thousands of dollars you need to spend per year on fuel and car maintenance to do that (on top of the time commitment it is to drive that much)?
Well code is data, so it's understandable that things get squishy inside people's heads.

In his follow up post he talks about union combining identical results. If the author ever reads this, you can prevent that by using `union all` instead of just `union`. That won't remove duplicates.

They were balancing it against what they saw in Italy: allowing the virus to get out of hand and overwhelm the hospital system and your death rate from covid jumps into the double digits. Kids would be pretty depressed being surrounded by a 8 digit body count in the US too.
" I wouldn't exactly call that fraud in the "startup world", but rather fraud in the investment world, as the goal is to bilk investors."

A noteworthy (and mostly overlooked) distinction.
"Of these, the vast majority (>99.9%) resolve with no major sequelae."

Citation needed. > 99.9% is an extraordinary number and probably needs extraordinary support.
This just reveals that colleges simply aren’t doing anything that can be called tuition.

If the college did any amount of meaningful in-person teaching, it would be immediately obvious that a student had not written their own coursework.
This may refer to the old style video-specific YUV overlays, which I don't think DWM uses or supports these days. Video playback doesn't need low latency anyway, just predictable latency, which DWM can provide in normal operation.

Fullscreen exclusive mode support is still common in games.
Right. We should have closed restaurants, bars, whatever so we could keep schools open.
Only ½ joking:

Finding a good ghostwriter demonstrates a number of useful skills.
Surely it depends on how you define a success? Although I do agree with you, there are loads of apps in app stores with very few users, and so can't really be considered a success by any metric other than maybe the author found them personally useful and/or it gives them something to show employers
That includes social security. What a stupid comparison.

The whole point of social security is a government retirement program based on you putting money into it.
I'm not a child (uni student) but I've spent the last year sitting at a computer in my childhood bedroom for 14 hours a day and I'm fucking miserable. My life feels fake since nothing I'm working towards exists in the offline world.
To put this into concrete terms, imagine the number of breast cancer screenings that were delayed by two or three months--or more, as some people were so terrified by the pandemic that they pushed back appointments beyond that required. How many? Five hundred thousand? A million? Now how many of those might have caught cancer early? All of those are much more dangerous or even deadly than they might have been.

That's one type of preventative treatment. Now picture all the prostate exams, blood work, colonoscopies, skin cancer screenings, etc, etc, etc. Multiply it out and you have a massive scourge caused by the media's promotion of a flu-like disease.

But multiplication is hard.
It is not possible to stop all strains. SARS-CoV2 has multiple zoonotic reservoirs, transmits easily, and persists in the population via asymptomatic infection.

We have eradicated one human virus in all of history, and it took a highly effective vaccine and a hundred years. The long tail is very long.
Why dont they automate it? Image (text) recognition is a solved problem.
Isn't it obvious? The lockdown harm the children.
> Personally, I think that should be flipped, but kid’s don’t vote.

The most interesting place I've seen this type of argument made it along these lines:

- US policy is for housing to appreciate in cost over time

- Housing is demanded by young people starting new households, and freed up by old people dying or moving into group housing.

- Housing policy is thus a massive ongoing transfer of wealth from incipient households to long-established ones.

- This is no way for a non-dysfunctional society to operate
The article, imho, reads like the main goal of the author is to prove he has a bigger dick than Uncle Bob’s...

sadly, he fails miserably at it.
Video panning differences don't have anything to do with input lag. The only way fullscreen exclusive mode would change the appearance of video panning (bugs aside) is if it changed the mode of the monitor so the refresh rate matched the video frame rate (or equivalently used G-sync or Freesync to do the same).
I don't know if you live in the US but for anyone who doesn't I think this mainly boils down to this: the average US citizen does not believe metal health issues are real. In high school I've met people who were clearly suicidal and I've seen the advice given to them: "Just go outside more" or "you don't have anything to be sad about".

One of my friends was depressed and suicidal through high school. He often acted out and got sent to a out-of-school suspension program. There he told people what he was depressed and had thoughts of self harm. What did the advisors of this program say? They didn't believe he was depressed! They said "If you want to kill yourself then why don't you go to the train down the block and jump in front of it".

This is all anacdata but it's my guess that the HN-bubble likely selects for people who don't think like this so it might not seem like this on the internet.
Same here, in chrome and firefox, and firefox reading mode wouldn't work.

No, we shouldn't have lockdown in the first place, keep everything open. Adopt measure that doesn't involve lockdown.
We also should have prioritized epidemiology studies involving schools --- there seems to be a growing consensus that K-8 schools aren't significant spreaders. The HVAC concerns about schools are apparently easily addressed with basic, portable air filters and box fans. There's a lot we could have done differently here.
questions I had when looking at home and features page..

Is it encrypted? in transit? data at rest?

I see 'enterprise option' for self clouding - guessing this means data is sent to third parties - is that hosted in the USA?

Really like the screensharing bit - is this share either screen? (site admins and or site visitor?)
- is that encrypted? Is that (or any info) stored? (by site owner or and third parties ie papercups.co
As opposed to what? All countries use the same argument to push popular programs, even if it makes little sense.

I don’t see the US using the argument more than Spain for instance. We’ve had a new “educational reform” every ~8 years with every government change, because “think of the children”, when everyone knew the reasons had nothing to do with the children.
This what happens when professors are too busy to notice/care nd everything is outsourced to overworked assistants who are paid little
They mean rejected heat. That's basic thermodynamics. See "Carnot efficiency". Maximum possible efficiency of a heat engine is

(Tin - Tout) / Tin.

Temperatures are from absolute zero. This applies to all forms of heat engines. Large power plants run steam around 840°K. Typical outside temperatures are around 280°K. So maximum possible efficiency for steam plants at achievable temperatures is around 66%.

Actual numbers for coal, oil, and nuclear plants run lower, maybe 40%. The most efficient natural gas plants come close, around 60%, by running at higher temperatures and avoiding conversion to steam.[1]

You can plant a tree but You can't plant a forest.

Or we could cut federal spending back to the Clinton eras 19% of GDP, instead of the bloated 25-30% it’s been since GW Bush.
I think it's like boiling the frog. If they ended up in a situation like that abruptly, most would bail. But the little day to day changes can lead to boiling the proverbial frog. We all do that to some extent. Members of the FAANG group of companies indulge in quite egregious practices from an outsider's (wider society) perspective but insiders feel it's normal.
> Unreported income is the single largest reason that unpaid federal income taxes may amount to more than $600 billion this year, and more than $7.5 trillion over the next decade. It is a truly staggering sum — more than half of the projected federal deficit over the same period.

Wow, even managing to collect 100% of these taxes would still result in the US adding 7.5 trillion to the debt.
New variants are going to come, but vaccinated people may have some protection against them, or they may recieve a booster tailored to new variants, if they are extra vulnerable.

Also, treatments are being developed. If we can turn future variants of Covid into something like a common cold, we are going to be fine living with it. We just need to prevent bilateral pneumonia with a cytokine storm that threatens to kill the patient.
For my me personally, school was a cause of mental anguish.
I gotta say, that's a selfish mentality, and you're definitely losing out on good friends because you've decided your work comes first. Realize that everyone else has their own work and their own problems they need to spend mental energy on, just like you. What kind of friend are you that is ok with putting that mental burden on someone else but aren't willing to reciprocate? You'll eventually lose those friends and will regret it later in life.
Easy, show a pop-up informing the user that the application tried to access so and so file, and if this was intentional, please click allow and try again.

Too annoying. I would’ve shut off SSH for the “assessment” then moved it to a different port after.
Climate is self-solving too, just not in a way that humanity should welcome. When the climate becomes inhospitable enough, lots of humans will die. When humans die, they stop producing carbon emissions (well, technically a bit after they die, since they still need to decompose). Eventually the planet reaches a new equilibrium with fewer humans and higher temperatures.

Humanity has a self-preservation instinct in not letting that happen, just as corporations have a self-preservation instinct for not losing all their money to cybercrime. But one advantage corporations have is that they can generally act as one body, while getting all of humanity to agree on something is usually not possible until it's too late.
Did you make up those numbers out of your head?
When you don't refer to a specific (Meta)analysis you can still make up numbers from guessing but if you do you should give intervals e.g replace 99% by most

It is reassuring that we have Bill Gates' leadership in the vaccine debate. He correctly points out that expensive medical costs associated with the elderly could be cut so that we can keep teachers employed.

This is the right attitude, as unfortunately these elderly are mostly white, racist and a net negative to society.

My favorite bit of the story is that he had been known as the best developer in house, and in a different article I can't find anymore there were more quotes from his coworkers about how it seemed like he could do anything, no matter the technology / programming language.
Think about what leads to new variants: every time someone is infected, the virus replicates and has 10e9 chances to come up with something which is advantageous for it. If, like the U.K variant, it lucks into someone with a compromised immune system it might get even more chances to evolve an effective combination.

The way we get it to stop winning is to stop buying it lottery tickets. Masks, vaccines, and other measures like paid sick leave cut into that number enormously.
The country has been heavily banking on discouraging the rank-and-file class from having children, and replacing them through immigration. And the ones that are already in the system are very heavily discouraged against the path to independent success and self-esteem. So the recent events are just another step in the same direction.

P.S. I don't think it's a carefully engineered master plan to eliminate independent thinkers, but rather what the society converges into when you eliminate the need for regular people to solve the problems on a daily basis. Medieval feudalism over again.
Not being from SV (or from the U.S.), I initially read the SF as "science fiction".

I don't know if their (possible) problem is just in money handling or the service, but it would have been kind of funny if the potential fraud had been that the service was all make-believe.
> But you get prestige and awards on "the free market" for all kinds of publications.

Yeah, but those are for the low end of the hiring market. Personally I mostly just ignore 'awards', unless it's a Nobel Prize or something.

In fact, too much award fluff is a big negative weighting for me. Same with patents and ECs.

I assume it's similar anywhere that ability actually matters. Sure you might get a boring entry-level IB job at some meat factory whose mild 'prestige' will impress your parents/schoolmates, but who cares in the grand scheme of things.
But... why not android?

Could I get one and install Android on it?
Exactly. A cold or covid may be temporary, but the snowballing effects that happen when one falls "off the wagon" (drugs, homeless, hard to hold down a job, etc) do not magically recover when the pandemic is over.

I only wish that the US would see the huge ROI of investing in its citizens (i.e. by ensuring they are healthy, housed, and educated enough to find their path in life) and act accordingly.
I actually believe it's set in the flatpack, though I am unsure.
I don’t particularly disagree, but there are still thtings that could be done, e.g. different schools could use meaningfully-different times.
Inkplate 6 looks good to me on paper, though I haven't seen a real one yet. https://www.crowdsupply.com/e-radionica/inkplate-6
Teachers' unions saw an opening and they took it. The fact that private schools in SF have been open for so long safely with no public schools open should tell you all you need to know.

I, for one, love it. When you're on this side of the wealth spectrum, an expanding gap lifts your ship and sinks the other guy.

And I'm all for the pursuit of sheer greed. If other people want to hamstring themselves for whatever reason, I'm not going to stop them.

Party on, dudes. Live your worst life.
I read this and was worried until I pondered if critical communication was still reliant on undersea cables. A threat to the economic system is obviously an important factor.

I am no expert but I would hope that satellites are now used for defence based communication.
The length of lockdowns is the problem, here in Germany at least. An even harder lockdown limited in length would have most likely achieved better control of the pandemic than the on-going half-measures and we would have been out of it earlier as well.
Thanks for the clarification. I must have misread that part.
