An excellent set of (re)search methods, many of which I'm well familiar. A few notes and additions:

- There are numerous public-domain full-text archives, including Project Gutenberg, Internet Archive, and many small specialised library collections (usually focused on a given topic, e.g., Online Library of Liberty). Less useful for post-1925 materials, but often high-quality renderings (either scans or proofread re-typeset / typed-in documents) available. Google Books also allows full PDF downloads for public-domain works, generally.

- NYPL's Secretly Public Domain project has been reviewing copyright renewal records to find works published since 1923, and before 1964, whose copyright was never renenwed. Other projects (Internet Archive notably) have been flagging these works as being in the public domain, and hence freed of any download restrictions.

https://www.nypl.org/blog/2018/03/30/unlocking-record-americ...

- OpenLibrary / Internet Archive increasingly have current under-copyright books available for at least 1hr and up to 14 day loan. The reader is less elegant than it had been in past, but is viable.

- HathiTrust is all but useless with its download restrictions. It's helpful to determine if records exist.

- Worldcat gets only a brief mention by Gwern. It's a union catalog (a combined library catalog of a vast number of libraries worldwide), of books, articles, and other document types, and is an excellent way of determining if a book exists, what an author's output is, and/or the documents within a given search space. !worldcat DDG bang search, "ti:" is title, "au:" is author, "kw:" is keyword. Space any colons (":") occurring within search terms, or omit them entirely. You'll still have to either find the digital record elsewhere, or track down a library, but quite useful.

- You can save online materials to the Internet Archive using the 'save' URL:

https://web.archive.org/save/<original_url>

So to save this particular HN discussion we'd specify:

https://web.archive.org/save/https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26847596

You can submit that through any HTTP client (curl, wget, lynx, w3m, your GUI browser, etc.). Requests can be trivially scripted and batched.

This is ... documented somewhere (I stumbled across it myself), though I'm not finding the specifics. Related "save page now" functionality is mentioned here: https://blog.archive.org/2019/10/23/the-wayback-machines-sav...

- Motorised paper cutters are available at some photocopy shops. Inquire as to whether or not you can have books debinded by them. (Generally anything resembling paper is fine, though the blades can be damaged by metal or other materials.)

No, it's pretty much an American thing, you should learn a little American history. America has no problem killing its own citizens:

> That night, the city of Philadelphia dropped a satchel bomb, a demolition device typically used in combat, laced with Tovex and C-4 explosives on the MOVE organization, who were living in a West Philadelphia rowhome known to be occupied by men, women, and children. It went up in unextinguished flames.

Reminds me of this classic:

> Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

I think that paragraph oversimplifies. (For example, splitting up the gh in "rghit" or the tt in "ltteers" would make them much harder to scan.) But clearly what it's getting at is true, that there are certain details of words and letters that we tend to focus on, and we can ignore quite a lot of noise as long as those details are in place.
Right. I definitely try and do as much testing locally as I can, but it still often takes me 10-20 updates to get everything working (missed an environment variable, permissions different in the cloud, blah blah blah). That’s usually a couple hours of my life i don’t get back.

One thing to note is, the less users use a feature, the less you understand how exactly they do it. Of course from a saas point of view, it’s easier to serve most and forget about least (we are here). But technically, only n% of users have advanced tasks that require a dozer on their lawn, because their “lawn” was not meant to have a grass or a kids playground on it from the start. If you sell a product that initially has a dozer in it, it will be bought by 88 home owners and 12 construction sites, because it fits both. If you then remove a dozer, or even put it into “easily accessible place”, construction sites will stall, because their speed depends on having that thing always present on site.

As one example, search engines respect quotes less and less with years. So even if you quote few words, you may not find it anymore.

Another example is my bank app that combined searches from different pages into one omnisearch field. Before that, I could simply go to a specific card and search for “digi” to see recent digital ocean payments with dates, and screenshot it to my accounting guys (also scaleway, kamatera, you name it). Now I have to scroll through “suggestions this week” (ads) with random “digi” in them, and then tap on every DO payment, because some of them are my own expense (on a different card), and I can’t see dates in a list anymore, because “date” is a property of a payment, and omnisearch searches for all kinds of items, and their common class doesn’t have a date, so to speak. They broke it for me, because now instead of one “shutter-send” I have to wait for 5-15 REST queries to complete and shutter-send each of these, confusing my accounting, because they also prefer lists with dates. Not to mention that omnisearch may not show some items for an unknown reason, and that I have no idea who wanted to search for ads and other crap in a bank app, instead of having well-partitioned searches together with a proper omnifield.

If you're doing interviews, I'd love to have you on the Alchemist Camp YT channel for a Code and Bootstrapping podcast.

The article points out that their API matches the hardware and it's the only API they care about:

> Their only properly supported API is their own Metal, which they may shape to fit the hardware rather than contorting the hardware to match the API.

Meaning they don't care to take Vulkan into account when making their GPU. If it would happen to work well - good. If not - tough luck. So it's not just about macOS, it's about making hardware too.

If you don't find it a damaging stance - well, good for you. I find it pretty nasty and I don't see a reason to avoid criticizing Apple. They aren't some neutral party in this especially with their size and impact.
Agency isn't such a bright line?

What about the professional journalist who stays past the curfew announced 10 minutes earlier, remains in the middle of a protest to live interview the event, and then gets caught in the police corral? Once the police collapse a large group of people into a very small area (say, with gas and shields), is there anyway that this journalist is not "involved"?

Or, should this journalist, to remain an observer and not become a participant, immediately leave when the state commands them to do so... perhaps going to an authorized "observation area"?

Civil disobedience has proven critical for societal progress. Why shouldn't those who are career professionals at documenting these events be given deference, acknowledging their service to the public interest?
Of itself, automated production is not a recipe. It is just a factor of production. Society could be organised a number of different ways, post-automation, just as it has been organised in various ways since the end of slavery (in some geographies and forms).
I know a guy who works in sports betting software, a pretty large player. They have direct access feeds that they pay a lot for bulk access, to cbs sports, nbc, etc. I dont know how much but its no small sum. ESPN does not use web scraping for live stats- they use high speed apis that get info right from the field (that either their crew gathers or cbs gathers and they pay for access). The overwhelming majority is not manually entered.

I also do some scraping in my spare time and i can tell you that large companies will have... precautions in place to prevent you from scraping their by-the-minute sports stats they pay millions for. Id also say right now scraping is a gray market, airlines in particular have proven that they are willing to fight for their (public) data, so tread carefully.

Scraping is a problematic way to do this too, because how can you verify what is up to date? You have to rely on one single authoritative source, otherwise youll be relying on some stat calc which “guesses” what the right stat is. Additionally, if you take live data that multiple large businesses feel they own, now they can split the lawyering fees on you and even if they lose, it will be cheaper for them together.

The historical content probably would be trivial to get, and its hosts most likely dont care if you have it. its the recent/live data which may be particularly difficult to take. In my professional opinion this is two separate projects- a paid up to date version with live stats and a free historical wiki.
can you provide some specific recommendations here?

A simple port request (1 phone number) has to be resolved within 24 hours, and complex port requests have similarly short SLAs.

The FCC has defined these SLAs and if you ever have a losing provider that is close to breaking the SLA on a port request, search for the providers local number portability escalation list and call each contact until resolved.
> possible national security applications

I wonder how much of a benefit that would be.

To have an entirely separate instruction set and all the hardware / software that builds upon it that is only really used in your country _sounds_ like it would be a good way to frustrate espionage / hacking to a layman since adversaries lack the expertise.

I am sure adversarial agencies would appoint a person or a small team to become experts in this specific technology though so maybe not so much although the costs would be more than for a "common" tech.

Interesting theoretical situation to play with though.
Can't we easily avoid these pitfalls by just comparing accidents/km on autopilot-equipped cars vs others? And disregard whether or not the autopilot is engaged.
From the article:

It may not need to be open market competitive if it's heavily subsidized by the CCP and government, for reasons of having a wholly domestic cpu industry.
Please stop putting action/choice buttons (Ok, Cancel, Yes, No, etc.) on windows title bars!
There has been a reason why they were placed at the bottom: I grab a window by its title bar and if needed I can arrange it through the closest controls over there that should be only the buttons to act on the window itself and not the contents, then I read the contents and while doing so my focus moves towards the window lower side, so that when I'm done I can take a choice through the closest controls I can find there which are the ones acting on the content of the window.

You think title bars waste too much space? Well sometimes I do too, but placing controls on them is a solution that creates new problems; just make them thinner, but please stop breaking decades of functional UI design with this nonsense.

You do realize you can just ask the recruiter to have meetings with the team members, right? I've done just that.

Once you're done with the interviews and they come back with an offer, ask for 30min with your future manager and 30min with someone from the team.

Then you can ask them as much as you want. It also shows the company you are seriously considering them.
Prior to Voxbone joining Bandwidth.com they were a provider we had chosen to avoid.

Voxbeam and Anveo Direct are solid choices for international DIDs.

Bandwidth.com has a poor reputation FYI, they pissed off a few Public Utility Commissions and were blacklisted from getting new phone numbers in some states.

How hard do they really have to work if they are taking powerful steroids? The roids will have large effects even with minimal training.
> having poor track record of intellectual theft

You are saying CCP did a poor job of stealing IP? Or you are saying CCP had done well in stealing IP?

You cropped out the preceding bit where "In contrast with Huawei being CCP controlled, having poor track record of intellectual theft"

First and second clauses are dependent. OP is asserting Huawei has a track record of IP theft. A supporting reference here would be the Cisco lawsuits in 2002-2003 of copyright and patent violations.

Third clause is independent (the "and" is what separates them) and asserts the CCP has conflicts of interest with other countries. That's self-evident, I think -- all countries have some opposed interests.

> Obama called for G2 [1]

The linked page says:

"Former President Barack Obama and former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been very supportive of good relations between the two countries and more cooperation on more issues more often." This sentence has no sources. The following "However, Clinton has said that there is no G-2" does have a source, which dates to 2011, so during the Obama presidency the acting Secretary of State, who would be leading foreign relations. So... no, nobody called for G2. The source also says "the Obama administration is cultivating other allies across Asia to help it manage Beijing’s increasingly bold projection of military and economic power."

> So suddenly, CCP becomes the bad guy because CCP had lots of conflicting interest?

So, yeah, the CCP is the bad guy.

> what are the interests that huawei had a stake in?

Huawei is subject to the CCP, for example by the internal Party steering committee. Anything the CCP has a stake in, Huawei will, transitively. For example, the Party has an interest in the Hong Kong protesters who are seeking asylum in Europe. So Huawei does, too. And since we're talking about a European telecom...

Note that I'm specifically referring to the CCP. Conflation between "common interests between US and China" and the goals of the CCP helps the latter at the expense of the former.

> unfounded cyber security nonsense

Given:

1. contractor has more access than they should
2. contractor's use of that access of not logged and therefore in-auditable

That is the exact opposite of unfounded nonsense. The very fundamentals of security are Authentication, Authorization and Accounting. This completely violates two of those three.
I'm also curious!
If we are going down this route of the semantic of road incidents, then lets commit fully and using the law as it is where I live. Any traffic incident here always involve two people who failed to comply with traffic laws.

A pedestrian crossing a street is required to look for cars and avoid the road if there is a risk for a collision. It is in the law, even if the crossing sign is green. No person has a right to cross a road or driving a car over a crossing. Both individuals is only allowed to do their thing if it can be done without causing an accident.

The same is true for traffic lights. Green does not mean you have a right to drive through, but rather means that drivers are allowed to drive through if such thing is possible without causing a traffic incident. Basically ever single action on the road under any circumstance is qualified under the condition that it won't cause an accident.

Naturally no pedestrian is going to be charged for being hit by a car unless there is some truly extraordinary circumstances, but the intent of the law is to make people understand that traffic is about mutual communication and responsibility.

I am understanding, I am disagreeing. I've worked at both "product-oriented" and "non product-oriented" companies, including as a product manager, and what you are saying applies to both.

> But the point here is that product management is the only position that is explicitly cross-departmental, precisely to prevent departments from making decisions that seem to make sense internally but don't for the company as a whole.

At non product-oriented companies, companies still have cross-departmental roles. This is sometimes a singular function (called something like central planning, pmo e.t.c.), but can also sit in cross-functional meetings for heads of departments, or sometimes there are divisional strategy teams which then meet, negotiate and divide back.

> At very small companies, the founder/CEO is often the de-facto product manager, but once you reach a certain scale you need to hire product managers to handle all the lateral communications and decisions, while the CEO focuses on things at the top.

Product Managers at large companies do not facilitate all lateral communications. They facilitate lateral discussions to and from product, for example between "logistics and product", or between "sales and product".

They won't facilitate the discussion between logistics and sales (i.e. "we need a bigger warehouse in 3 years"), or between retail and logistics ("your delivery is late") for instance (which requires other cross-departmental collaboration and planning).

> And the idea of product managers existing without sales/engineering managers is nonsensical. Who would they talk to in those departments then?

Exactly! All I mean is you can't use proof that product managers exist as proof that a company is product-oriented. I've worked in a company that wasn't product oriented that had product managers, and they still added plenty of value :)

My view is that you can have a product-oriented company without having any product managers, because product-orientation isn't to do with any of this stuff. It's to do with the company setting its primary goal to make the best product (i.e. making better things than competitors). It's the focus on building products that's the different thing, not the focus on customer or reducing silos.

As an example, an outsourcing cleaning contract company will not be product oriented, but will be customer oriented and will have an organisational structure that allows cross-departmental communication. They could also still have product owners and a 'product-led' IT division for instance.

Political violence is sometimes justified. Just hard to see how it is in this case. If Derek Chauvin is acquitted this week. There's a good chance he will be at least partially, based on the trial evidence of drugs and heart disease being the main cause of Floyd's death. If so, this whole incident, will be the ultimate example of misleading video, amplified by lying journalists, for clicks and violence for political gain.
As soon as one side is allowed to use violence to achieve political goals, what is to prevent the other side in acting the same way. It will be interesting to see how Biden will react when the shoe is on the other foot.
