Some artists found a lifeline selling NFTs. Others worry it’s a trap
none of the people founding startups in Silicon Valley are oppressed by any reasonable understanding that concept

I’ve never understood why they are so desperate to be oppressed that they have to invent new categories to be part of then claim to be oppressed when literally no one even knows what they are.
Something being legal does not make it right or just.
Thank you for pointing out Emmett Till. I think the closest modern day (and I know he wasn't even that long ago) equivalent to him is George Floyd. Not so much in the horror they both experienced, but in both cases (obviously Emmett was significantly more brutal though both were heartbreaking) , actually having the horror laid bare for people caused them to finally stop suppressing the outrage.
Abuse potential, because policies can change on a whim. The AI may only track a couple things now, but down the line that can change drastically, now the day's feed (or more!) is available to Amazon because you sneezed.
You might want a little self-reflection about that last sentence and how it paints you as precisely the sort of person that others are rightfully worried about.
There is also a breadth of studies that show consumption is bad - I wouldn't cheer just yet.
I agree with you, but given that hypocrisy, indirectness and dissimulation are the norm, an approach to speaking characterized by directness, literalness, and lack of guile can easily be misinterpreted, assigned false motives, or cause upset even if understood correctly.
To the contrary, they're defining the American culture of their era.
It's not flashy, sure, but sci-fi is no stranger to generation ships.
I use them (occasionally), but only when the pain of not using them would be greater, because they are a blue-assed bitch.

But they really do enforce a very strict version control. If we want to be absolutely sure of a version, Git submodules will give that to you.

But I only use them in one PHP backend project that I plan to barely ever change, because every change means that I have to crawl through a raft of repos, updating a submodule chain.

It's exactly the kind of operation that calls for a scripting solution, but it is also one of those projects, where I change it so seldom, that it isn't worth it to write a script.

For my frontend (Swift) work, I use SPM (Swift Package Manager). Much easier on my nerves.
> "the problem of men clamming up"

Even when phrased that way, I don't perceive that the author is _blaming_ men. The author is critical of the mob, and the dangers of being incorrectly perceived as sexist and ruining one's reputation. You may insist on your interpretation, and fixate your attention on a couple of sentences that ring the wrong way to you, but I think you are missing out on the nuance.
That's going to be true right up until someone crosses a line or someone feels like a line was crossed, and then the entire structure will collapse on top of you, possibly killing a few people's careers in the process.

"Just be cool" is not a strategy.

What about the last sentence regarding WIV scientists studying human-disease causing SARS coronaviruses until "permission is granted" by China's NHFCP? The one with the redacted bit at the front?

Did Cargo Ship ‘Draw’ [male genitals] Before Getting Stuck in Suez Canal?

> This made Amazon look quite childish honestly.

Don't you think it makes Warren look childish? She said she wants to break up big tech companies so that they aren't able to challenge her. I think that's an absolutely appalling thing for a lawmaker to say. Warren should be defending their right to challenger her, not attacking it, and she should be empowering institutions to challenge her, not attacking those that are. I can't understand how anyone is defending this craziness. It's chilling.
Yeah, but a baker also can’t make one loaf of bread that everyone can then eat forever.

In software, you actually can have your cake and eat it, too.
She was kinda right to report you. Your advice was stupid sexist and racist empty phrase and she, in contrast to you, was smart enough to notice it and actually question it. Your back-pedalling just reinforced her already bad opinion of you. Next time try to think before parroting some "guru"'s advice.
It is trivially avoided once the kids are old enough, but there's a long period during which kids would be safe enough to roam around in the absence of cars, but aren't in the current environment.

We live a block from the playground, close enough that I can almost see it from our window, but you can't get there without crossing the street. So our kids (7y, 5y) can only go there with a grown up. I've worked on teaching them how to cross the street safely, but they're just not good enough at checking for cars yet.

Same, in junior high school around 1980 (we had some DECWriters and a Hazeltine terminal connected to an HP2000 somewhere). Kids played HP BASIC Star Trek:

> In addition, I lament that it is iillegal for men to have their own organizations of any kind. It is not legal for men to have their own clubs or organizations in the Western world. It is illegal for men, and particularly white men, to self select and self organize. This is a factual statement.

I don't think it's "illegal"; the problem is that these kind of organisations tend to veer towards the toxic and hateful.

Incels are an excellent example of this; the entire concept was started by a woman struggling with her own involuntary celibacy and started a support forum. Good initiative. But over time things have become ... well, rather different.

A lot of the so-called "men's rights" groups have some legitimate grievances, and I have seen more than a few outspoken feminists underscore this. But having legitimate grievances doesn't excuse their terrible behaviour and attitude.

There are some decent groups for this; /r/MensLib on Reddit is pretty good. But the average is not exactly great.

Hang on, do you mean the comment that started this is 'painful but not gratuitous'? Because:

This is kind of the end result we're heading for, where you can only talk candidly with people who are equal or lower than you on the oppression hierarchy.

Seems pretty clearly gratuitous flamebait. Oppression hierarchy? We're heading to where nobody can frankly speak to anyone? This is 'first they came', in different words and is equally cheap and dumb.
It was not just an influence on BASIC, but the raison d'etre, "It should be a stepping-stone for students who may later wish to learn one of the standard languages, such as FORTRAN or ALGOL."

There's nothing hypothetical or straw-man about his comment. If you surf around english-language forums where the new breed of feminist hangs out, you'll see dozens of posts pretty much exactly like that, all highly liked/upvoted and with huge numbers of responses agreeing and amplifying. Any posts with the message of "hold on, maybe it's not just sexism and he actually has a point" will be downvoted and attract hateful responses: "you sound like just another one of those sexists!".
Undocumented: Sendgrid now requires using a static IP if your app runs on Heroku
The past few days we started seeing a high (but intermittent) percentage of failed email sends using Sendgrid.

It would be 80% fails (406 status code in our logs) for an hour or two, then OK for an hour or two, then 100% fail again.

Sendgrid status page said no issues.

Sendgrid support said they could not see the rejects but they'd look into it.

We simply switched our traffic to our "other" ESP (Socketlabs, excellent IMO with far superior support) until we had time to dig into what was going on in Sendgridland..

On a hunch we tested what happened if our Heroku app used a static IP to send API requests to Sendgrid... and it worked 100% of the time. If we turn off the static IP it goes right back to high failures. Went back and forth a couple of times today with the same result.

IMO Sendgrid is pointlessly filtering IPs for apps that
A) are using a secure APIKEY to submit API requests, and
B) running on a cloud platform where they have no inherent control over shared IPs.

But, since Sendgrid appears to filter IPs, and doesn't seem to document the need for static IPs, and does NOT surface 406 errors in any Sendgrid dashboard where you OR their chat support can see them, I hope this info will someone else from chasing down the error. (And perhaps considering a ESP with much better support.)

Because there's a point where you end up going full ouruboros, which undermines the integrity of the institution all tpgether. The major established players want to be able to say other attempts at news outlets are deceptive, then turn around and do the same stuff, and yet still not be subject to the same loss of credibility.
For those interested, I built a "falling notes" style web interface that works with a midi keyboard. You can mark a split in the keyboard and just practice one side or the other. Most of the controls I've baked in use the keyboards other buttons (Novation Launchkey 61).

I use very few developer tools, mostly because I couldn't get them to stop doing things I hated, or because I couldn't get them to stop doing things I didn't need, or because I couldn't get them to stop doing things I didn't understand. There's a common theme there.

The autocompletion stuff really bothered me because I know what I want to type, my fingers are already doing it, and I had to stop them. I don't want to learn to retype just for this tool. No.

Certainly, some of them seemed like they would benefit from some kind of beginner mode, intermediate mode, and so on. I remember not having touched Visual Studio for over a decade, and then looking at it and feeling like a chimp dropped into the cockpit of an F-15.
It seems it succeeded, by frustrating Warren and making it appear that she is significantly motivated by stifling dissenting voices, a possible abuse of the First Amendment [0].

I know there are lot of people here who identify with Warren's politics (myself included, to some degree), but petty personalities like hers aren't the ones we want in power. Thought there would be more awareness of that after the last presidential term.

Elizabeth Warren comes off looking worse. Probably the most tonedeaf, opportunistic do-little in American politics.

I still remember in the middle of the GME story how CNBC brought her on as the "great financial industry critic" to tow the industry line. Quite hilarious.

Warren and Sanders are the very definition of controlled opposition. If they're your biggest critics, you're probably doing something right.
The x-element library published by Netflix [1] takes the best features of other web components libraries like Polymer and LitElement, and focuses on a standards based approach, e.g. es6 module loading at runtime, which is done intentionally to avoid a build step.

What do people think of the idea that this is a cost worth paying? The transaction is, "sometimes less candor" for, "oftentimes less discrimination".

I think it's true and fair to say that caring more about how people are perceiving you results in drawbacks, and the world we live in where people do watch how their actions effect others isn't a perfect, problem-free world.

It makes intuitive sense to me that sometimes, when we work to raise people up, we do so at some cost to the people who are already at the top. This could be an example of that, I think.
> To think I'd be able to criticize my organization and still be entitled to a job is lunacy.

Well I would certainly never want to work for an organization that would fire someone, especially a good coworker, for this.

My common advice is: bite the bullet and learn it. Specifically, delve deeper past the porcelain commands and understand what they do. Also, for a while I stopped using “git pull” and used “git fetch” and manually managed merges and branch tracking (a lot of “git reset —-hard origin/branch-name”). Once you get it, you will be a lot more productive. You’ll still have to deal with obtuse commands from time to time, but you’ll have a better model of what they should do and can check if they are doing it right.
It's not "quite unlikely" for a virus to adapt to humans when you are digging through a lab archive of wild coronaviruses and injecting mice that express human proteins with them to see how sick they get. For example the president of EcoHealth, which sponsored bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, raved in November 2019 about all the exciting work they were doing filtering bat coronaviruses and even recombinant viruses for ones that look like they could infect humans and infecting humanized mice with them [1].

Researchers at the same lab published a study in 2017 where they tested the infectivity of 8 artificial coronaviruses (having been edited with 8 different spike proteins) on primate and human cell lines [2].

No, the article explicitly mentions "Amazon’s pushback on the congressman’s comment about workers peeing in bottles also ignited a new news cycle after The Intercept revealed internal Amazon communications acknowledging that contractors who deliver Amazon packages sometimes defecate in bags and urinate in bottles." (with the latter half being a link to that same The Intercept article)

Pervasive trend in America:

erode peoples' standard of living, erode the laws protecting them from abusive working environments, force them into a position where they only have the option of working for one company, and then blame them for trying to ask for better conditions.

If you went into your job every day and criticized the job with a coworker, you would in fact not lose your job (or have the option for a nice settlement), because American labor law specifically protects workers' rights to talk about their working conditions?
To be fair, even HN is not so perfect - we are brilliant when abstractly discussing outrage, fake news, etc - but visit any thread where the article is an object level example of a story that contains these characteristics, and compare the quality of discourse you find there to that which you find in threads like this.
I think it's generally okay to complain about a system that forces you to pee in bottles due to lack of restroom breaks. People have quit, and they still have every right to complain even after quitting
What part of my comment has anything to do with first amendment rights? What comment are you replying to?
> Have you considered that Amazon is very good at what they do

Cynical-me considers Amazon to be the least-worst of all the companies trying to do what they do.

I'm sure their "re-advertise stuff people bought before" thing works great for some of what they sell - toilet paper or laundry detergent or cat food. So just like every "data driven" VC backed startup, they've "validated the business model" and are now pumping advertising dollars into "scaling" their proven toilet paper sales pipeline to webcams. They're probably busy running multivariate testing to find if the optimal repurchase advertising repeat rate for webcams is down near 4.3 weeks like laundry detergent, or way up at 9.1 weeks like toilet paper. 'cause the data doesn't lie, right? :sigh:
No, by OP I meant the original submission.
> (it's not at all a given that the situation would blow up in his face…)

The article was talking about risk. Risk isn't binary, if it was then there wouldn't be a risk...

> minor risk to reputation

I think the article, and at least from some candid comments in this thread, indicate that people perceive this risk as much more than minor. Almost as if not being labeled a racist or sexist or homophobic (founded or not) is worth a few $m lost from the inaction taken to avoid that labeling.
But Amazon didn't break any worker protection laws, they're within bounds.

Interesting method and results here
The classic is "backed by statistics" so both sides pick the statistics that confirms their opinion.

Last seen just these days in US media about guns/gun crime/shootings etc. etc. There are so many statistics which all define mass shootings however they want and its super easy to find the "facts" you need for whatever point you wanna bring across.

Amazon may not owe them a job, but a government ought to make sure that it's citizens are not treated like animals to just make a living, no matter where they choose to work.

It's a shame that any country allows conditions like this to exist, under the excuse of "the free market will solve this problem, just get a job elsewhere"

The balance of power between government, people + companies has made this extremely difficult, and the "free market" is just optimizing for this imbalance by allowing conditions to get this bad in the first place.

It is hard to understand how you could make such conclusion. I do not support abolishing civil rights and I never said anything close to it. What I was saying is that freedom of speech is not absolute and dogmatic American constitution is wrong about it. Human rights exist only in society and the society not just defines them, but also constrains them. There’s no property rights on uninhabited island or freedom of speech in an empty room where there’s no one to talk to. But where property rights exist because there are people who agreed to recognize them, there are also trespassing laws: the freedom of movement is constrained by the rights and freedoms of others. And property rights themselves are constrained: you cannot use your land to stockpile nuclear waste and sometimes you have to mow your lawn. There’s no reason to assume that freedom of speech should not be constrained in a similar way. The dogma is based on an assumption that any constraint to this freedom may lead to tyranny. The historical evidence, including your example, shows that this protection of freedom is not efficient and quite often can be harmful, enabling extremists to build up the foundation to seize the power.

Sure, but it isn't just legal it's better (in some ways) than most things in the same class. Amazon tracks you and makes you work harder, but compensates you better and doesn't fuck around with hours as much as other jobs in the same fields. It does seem unfair to target them specifically.

For example the piss bottles. It is a thing for truckers and delivery workers to piss in bottles. UPS people, FedEx people, Truckers more than the others will talk about it anonymously. But everyone acts like Amazon isn't acting within the unspoken norms of society.
Thank you so much for everything you do dang!

If I have to choose to defend someone, it’s not Amazon and Bezos. He and chosen management had a choice on what sort of company and culture to build. Choose poorly and then be surprised when government and the public come after you? Relentlessly tactless and tone deaf.
