Hey :) Thanks for the comments.

a) Why would the interval approach be better? It's the same thing as checking if candidate min > recruiter max but with some extra unnecessary information?

b) The information cannot be in the URL because the main point of the tool is to hide that information. :)

There is the bank solution. Working collections is the poster for job that will make you hate your life, but it must be done. So the rule is all jobs must be posted to internal transfers for two weeks, and if someone qualifies applies you can't look for someone outside the company. As a result it is nearly impossible to get a job without first working a collections job for 9 months. Collections hires basically anyone and helps them move on to a better position after you have done your time. Everyone else knows you don't hire anyone who hasn't done their time in collections as it is the only way that needed job can be done.

Data is not nearly as evil - hate your whole life - as collections, so I hope that we don't have to stoop to this level. It is an option though.
no, it would just mean that we are not an algorithm.
It's not really like that though.

Ask 100 people walking down the street who their preferred title insurance company is. no one will have one.

So at closing, usually it's the real estate agent who picks the title insurance company. So they do things like snacks and fancy coffee to real estate agents as you close, nothing to make the product better or cheaper.

In my city, the title company steered people closing at their location to a company that they 100% owned and charged inflated prices

(post lawsuit, the only change as far as I now is a 1 page disclaimer that they own the title insurance company they are sending you to).

Many cities have only 1 title insurance options. Bigger might have 2-3.

How do I know that even I am conscious? Tautological or non-falsifiable "proofs" do not count. Serious question. I do not think that before this can be answered, there is absolutely no way to answer whether an AI is conscious.
I agree with some of these, but the sales tax isn't the issue imho. If you're buying from a third country, you'll have to pay your local sales tax (as import sales tax), not doing so is tax fraud.
Yes. The hardware looks great.

Hot take - They burned it, in a very visible way, to prove they've had access since 2017 (or whatever the investigation will reveal). A full security audit isnt very feasible.

Would force everyone to either downgrade and face known vulnerabilities, or do nothing and face high-risk unknown vulnerabilities.

The article seemed to say that they can set their own tax and minimum wage rates, which means that they are exempt from some federal law. I was wondering about the limits of this sovereignty.
I've been asking this for years now and constantly found my comments buried and shut down on here and other platforms like reddit. I have made comments literally just asking for evidence and had them buried. As yet, I have not seen a single shred of evidence that there are highly capable females locked out due to sex.
We review social media for management level hires. One of the big red flags is exactly this - accusing people/companies/organizations of sexism/racism/xenophobia/illegal activity/etc without providing any material evidence.

This applies to both men and women, from any background. Even forgetting the potential for these accusations to be levied on us, it's simply a legal liability to have someone on the team that makes public accusations on social media without evidence.

The last thing anyone wants is a lawsuit magnet on the team. Lawsuits are extremely expensive, even when you win.
> The issue tracker may quickly start to fill in. “Thank you, this is exactly what I needed” would be a heartwarming thing to read, but you will never see such a comment ever.

As a counterpoint, I'd never wish to see such comments made in GitHub issues for my projects. To me it's just spam. I also feel really awkward replying to such comments. A bug report (if it is an actual bug) is however welcome to me, because it lets me see that there is an issue in something I wrote. The first time someone filed a bug against my program (not a thank you, but an actual bug report), I was really happy that someone made the effort to let me know about a flaw in my insignificant creation.

That said, when the volume of tickets filed on the bug tracker is big enough, I'd consider having the bug tracker open only for paying users. Handling those tickets is real work and the author is entitled to payment for it when someone demands it. Doing it right from the start regardless of volume is also totally reasonable.

Alternatively, the author may decide that they just don't care about bug reports from others. In this case, GitHub doesn't seem to be the best platform for their project. A basic cgit instance should suffice or a tarball on a website - no place to file bugs.

From yet another perspective, when I want to contribute to a project, I outline on the bug tracker a potential contribution, ask whether that would be welcome, if I should start working on it or maybe there are some changes needed, and then I don't get any kind of response for months, it's off-putting. A "no", "I don't care" or "I don't have time for it" would suffice. It's comparable to ghosting in the world of dating. Just say "no" and everyone will be better for it.

Ah I read that statement in the end like it'll enable front-end devs to also write back-end code, like Node.js but better (APIs follow more the browser than in Node.js), but I didn't think it'd be related to the monetization?
I'm very pleased Javascript / Node evolves. But thanks, too late, I'll skip it as soon as possible. It has so many unpleasant surprises. I'll move the ladder up, to something which compiles to Javascript, or whatever else, but no Javascript anymore please.
I just don't understand this. This project uses distributed version control. This implies 2 things

1. It is impossible to delete every copy of this project. If the authors wanted to restrict access by taking the repo private, they can't. It will always be out there.

2. Every commit is licensed with MIT. So even if there is a licensing change, you have access to every commit licensed by MIT. You've lost nothing except rights to future work.

Even if they change their mind, you can still use their existing code to run your software. If it's popular enough to be forked by the community, you can use the fork if you prefer.

You only need to be concerned if you're heavily invested on their platform and it's not popular enough for community support and you need new features added. In this unlikely scenario, yes, you won't have any option but to buy in to their new business model.

I attend an Anglican church (in the U.S.). Our rector and deacon are both from England. They endlessly argue about the pronunciation of venite.
no they're not, a large number are - maybe 13% https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/science/13-people-are-path... , what it is is that most people just aren't that self-aware or have a better opinion of themselves than is perhaps warranted.

So let me make clear here, if I ever start a company based on open source principles and it looks like I am going to get squeezed out of business by Amazon if I keep sticking to those principles I will probably abandon those principles (unless I'm already a billionaire and have something really cool I want to work on anyway) because damned if I would let Amazon beat me. The chance of my abandoning those principles will correlate closely to how bad my finances will be after losing out to Amazon.

On the other hand if I build up a big enough company and start making money off of using open source technologies as a service for other technologists I hope I would support the open source projects from which I was benefiting.
What effects do the atom (or any underlying part) contribute to consciousness that parameters don't?

Hacked verified account going rampant on Twitter Elon Musk scam
https://twitter.com/KentOgle/with_replies

How the hell does twitter allow any account to make hundreds of the same post over and over especially that post is presumably getting reports and flagged. Nothing screams hacked like an account posting the same thing over and over. This is elementary.

This is partly why twitter is culpable for these scams. Their inattention to even the most obvious of rate limiting is an invitation for major exploitation. jack is criminally negligent at this point to allow this to go on so long when the spam is so obvious and of millions dollars lost.
A relevant post from Slate Star Codex [1] is an interesting add to this discussion: it's not trivial (or impossible) to recognize if you are missing some kind of experience.

Like the example in the article of not realizing that you have anosmia (lack of sense of smell) if you've had it since birth. You might not realize something's missing, because you have no baseline for comparison!

With sense of smell, you can develop tests, because it's something otherwise (objectively) observable. But what about something that can't be measured objectively? How can you know about others whether they only simulate experiencing something, if you can't even tell it about yourself?

Yes, JIT inventory meant delivered "from the warehouse to the workstation" and not "intercontinentally shipped with extremely slim margins."

But that's not what has happened here. Continually increasing demand (read population growth + geo-conglomeration of industries) has stretched the global supply network(s) to fragility, necessitating JIT in absurd distances and quantities, in turn requiring ships 400mx50m to squeeze through canals they barely clear the bed of at speeds slow enough for them to not cause over-swell but not fast enough for them to have enough thrust to overcome crosswinds.
Maybe, but I've yet have anyone describe Stallman as empathetic or integrative.

I dont think there's that much real debate except for the artificial debate caused by AI research grant proposals and journalists.

That is, it seems pretty clear whether we are with another being in a shared environment doing things together in ways that another being has, like me, a dynamic access to the environment and an ability to communicate it.

If I am walking along with another being, some road, and I ask it: what it thinks of the day; what it thinks about what i'm waring; what it imagines the weather will be like; what it imagines will happen if we keep walking on the road... what it wants out of the day, of life; what advice it has for me...

And if it answers, and its answers "share the world with me" as others do; ie., if I can converse with it about where we all are, and what problems we have, and what we can do about them... then these debates are essentially settled.

It doesnt matter "what else" it has. The being cares, imagines, acts, reasonings, believes, and so on.

The game AI-fantatics here play is to redefine intelligence, consciousness, and the like away from this reality of what we mean and what we want. They do this because machines cannot do this, so they define it to be "whatever they can do". This impoverishes our abilities greatly, reducing "speech" to merely "text generation", as if being in the world were incidental.

No machine has ever participated in the world with us, as we participate in it. Nor has any AI research, in any computer science department, actually offered a programme to do that. It's all just "building a better mouse trap".
Interesting and very well organized article!
Most climate change mitigation measures have positive side effects. For example, the reduction in pm2.5, NOx, noise etc from electric cars is thought by many to benefit society even more than their CO2 reduction. It would be nice if those types of measures were sufficient, but an insurance policy may be necessary.

Deno is licensed as MIT. Awesome! But how will they prevent from being freeloaded?

My sense is that GPL3 gets a ton of criticism on HN, but isn't it the perfect defense against freeloaders?

* license the code for proprietary use in your stack
* use GPL3 if you have a non-commercial use, and are willing to accept the requirement to open source your own code.

I don't understand why this option isn't used more by open source projects that want to be able to fund themselves.

Can anyone explain? (Even better if there are examples / case studies)
Techno-feudalism.
I hate to say it, but this kind of behavior makes sense. It's more difficult to criticize female leaders right now for a lot of reasons. The author makes good points, and there is a disparity when it comes to criticism because men have to worry about how it might be viewed. Women are people too, and most people make terrible leaders and terrible leaders will retaliate however they can. A guy who was a Director at my current company got about half a dozen people fired because they disagreed with him on a topic he was ultimately wrong about. He was able to do this because he presented himself as a visionary that would prove them all wrong. He was subsequently fired after he was shown to lack perspective and expertise in the technical field his "vision" required, but those other people still lost their jobs well before that point.

Now, imagine an equally bad female leader that is also presented as a visionary. Maybe she just gets them fired by complaining to the CTO like happened at my company, or maybe she also posts the details online and ruins their reputations. She would potentially make them unemployable, while still being ultimately wrong and a bad leader.

Now, on top of that consider that while having this opinion, I still am constantly advocating for my female colleagues because on top of all that, the tech field just doesn't have many female members. The odds of a woman being a good leader is about the same as for a male in the tech field, but there's still 10 times more men. To be clear, do to pressure and a human need for validation I would say the average female dev is better than the average male by a bit because they push themselves a little harder, but good leadership is not something that develops by working harder.

All of this makes everything to do with this topic extremely difficult to deal with. I want to provide the same level of criticism to everybody, but if I don't know you well enough I can't be sure my name won't get dragged through the mud on social media. It might not even be the woman in question who does it, and the higher the stakes for the woman, the more likely I am to get called out by a coworker who's just trying to do the right thing. The end result is still that by criticizing a female leader I risk not only my job, but my entire career and social standing. That simply isn't the case when I criticize the male version of the terrible boss, and case in point I did so in the example I provided, I just wasn't high enough up the chain for him to bother reacting to.

No, it actually has nothing to do with quantum computing specifically, it applies for classical tape-based Turing machines (or an x86 with unbounded time and memory). It basically says “anything physical is computable.”

"While you might be correct looking at other markets, you would be surprised how average it is for Canadian Housing prices across Canada. It is impossible to not to earn a minimum of 20 % on any Real Estate transaction withing a year." - that's not the case across Canada, only specific sections.
Also at that time you could for about 60 dollars buy 'the win32 bible' which had pretty much every call you wanted in print form. Also about 50 bucks got you the CD with the docs. Only when you went to the 'I want MS in a box' MSDN that you paid more. MS dominated in that market in the 90s because they had tooling that was wildy cheaper than most of their competitors on other machines. Sun/IBM/Apple easily priced their docs in the 20k+ market. I bought many of these docs for these different archs at the time. MS was by far the cheapest of them. Borland and Watcom had 2 different setups with and without docs. You paid accordingly (usually 100-150). Also once the internet came around MS put its docs up on the web pretty quickly. They were about equivalent to the CD's. I would say around 96/97 they did it. I have not paid for MS docs since. I paid a few times for MSDN as I would need a lab of machines and ACLs were dumb expensive.

I find your comment quite trite.

It can be boiled down to: Ha! Things can disrupt JIT operations, don't these bozos know that?

In reality these decisions are made by professionals armed with heaps of statistics to make the best decision. I'm a nobody who knows nothing, yet I understand that ships are sometimes late. It is sometimes caused by weather, or mechanical issues, or piracy, or war. I trust that the professional know this too and more. Why do you think you know better than them what fits their reliability guarantees and budget the best?
Is that LLVM success good for society or for the giant SV companies? LLVM is still not a clear winner in performance or supported platforms.
Fair point. My wife does have "nude heels," which are (more or less) the color of a white person's naked skin. Still, I guess I didn't think that the word "nude" in "nude heels" was supposed to actually mean "the color of a white person's naked skin," but rather that nude meant "naked" and the shoe company had (wrongly and unfairly) assumed that the only people they needed to care about were white...

I'm not disagreeing and I don't have an axe to grind here, this is just anecdotal observation about language and usage in my (limited) experience.
