I think its pretty clear that no matter the take on tracking, facebook is a bad actor with previous scandals including knowingly took money from children, experimenting on people's feed, did large scale psychological experiments on their own users without consent, selling/giving access to user data to political firms, collecting email contact data without consent, etc etc. And those are only just what I remember off the top of my head.

Even if you were ok with tracking facebook is not the people I'd trust to do it ethically.
That’s a bit different because, for now at least, a bank knowingly doing business with a marijuana company violates BSA and AML regulations. The adult entertainment industry is also frequently refused banking services by citing the same laws and regulations but those aren’t flat-out prohibited where marijuana is because it’s a criminal enterprise in the eyes of the federal government.

Funds coming from adult entertainment are (1) high risk (in theory) for being proceeds from a crime (prostitution) and (2) high risk for money laundering because those businesses are often high cash or cash-only.

You can see how designating a business as #1 necessarily creates the situation that gives rise to #2 and so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: the business is high risk because it’s high risk.

I disagree. From your perspective I must be a liar, and that is fine by me.

As, I can't recall the last time I found anything helpful on that platform, that any of my questions were actually answered and certainly not that I copied & pasted any code. I am not claiming that it never happened. It is just so rare that I wouldn't answer your interview question that way. To me that platform is an internet points farm combined with Groundhog Day of basic questions. I might be an extreme outlier of our craft. Just keep in mind that we exist and that not everybody answering the question "incorrectly" is a liar or an idiot. In fact, I would say that only those candidates who answer differently are truly interesting.
There is not a visualizer as far as I am aware.

PoS is not that much different in a generalized sense. Blocks are made up of transactions, and people/nodes propose blocks.

Instead of miners, there are stakers. Instead of randomly seeing which miner can solve the block challenge fastest, random stakers are tasked with solving the challenge.

Ask HN: Differences in Programming Style by Nationalities
In mathematics some people say that there are three different styles of doing mathematics: the French style, the Russian style, and the American style. Each one has its own peculiarities and stereotypes. For instance, French-style mathematics tends to be very abstract compared with Russian-style. Of course, these are all generalizations.

Does something like this exist in the programming world? Example: programmers trained in X tend to be more Y compared to those trained in Z.

I find it virtually certain that it does derive from it. Considering that one of the authors of Julia wrote Julia's front-end in Lisp (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/src/julia-par... and some other files in the same directory), it would have been astonishing for CLOS to not have major impact on the design. There's also some relevant statements in a paper on Julia's design (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3276490) in the part on multiple dispatch in section 7. Related Work, where CLOS and its "algebraic cousin" Dylan are mentioned. I got the impression that Julia's object system is basically CLOS without quite a few of CLOS' complexities such as inheritance (which in CLOS necessitates some advanced extension facilities to cover some corner cases if method lookup doesn't do what you want it to do if you're attempting a highly complex application model). The nice effect of those feature removals was that in many cases monomorphization of call sites in emitted native code is possible, which is presumably the other reason for those feature removals: suddenly even primitive operations such as +, * etc. can be generics without incurring (most of the time) dispatch cost at runtime. That (primitive operations being generic functions) is not the case in CLOS, although that can also very well be attributed to backwards compatibility efforts in Common Lisp.

Interestingly enough, in Julia's documentation, the section "Noteworthy Differences from other Languages" (https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/noteworthy-differenc...) compares Julia to only several relevant languages, which are: Matlab, R, Python, C/C++, and...Common Lisp, of all things. I very strongly doubt that this is a coincidence.

I agree with you that Silicon Valley is an odd mixture of socialist ideals and unbridled capitalism. For example, we have tax dodging corporations like Apple pushing to elect people that have a stated goal of implementing massive tax-and-spend initiatives. Somehow it all makes sense in their minds. A cynical person would say that they are just siding with whatever side happens to be popular at the time in order to make more money, knowing that they will be able to avoid the effects of such policies through international tax avoidance schemes. But I think that many of these guys actually believe the things they say, which is an interesting dichotomy.
The rPi camera accepts c-mount lenses. C-mount is a mechanic standard for the connecting threaded couple of lens and camera.

It is not an optical standard.

C-mount lenses project image circles of different sizes depending on their intended use. The initial use was 8mm film cameras. But it was also used by lenses designed to cover the larger super8 film image standard. And today there is at least one c-mount lens that can nominally cover APS-C though with noticeable vignette...anyway...

The rPi camera sensor has a diagonal of 7.9mm. This is about 20% larger area than super8 film.

For a photographer whose opinions of image quality revolve around technical details, such a super8 format intended lens might produce about 10 “acceptable” megapixels on a 12mp sensor.

Most photographers tend to think about image quality in those terms. Limiting the specifications that way heads off complaints about unfulfilled expectations. It is easier to hold strong opinions about technical measures than to consider aesthetic possibility created by a lens’ optical limitations.

If you as an employer are not able to deal with the fact that different people have different preferences, you either are running a very small shop (2-4 people) which just makes that impossible, or you're probably not an employer that will attract people who aren't deliberately choosing a "cog in the machine" path.

I want to be very clear: There's nothing wrong with that path. There's nothing wrong with wanting to employ people who follow that path. But making it clear from the outset that he's not going to be a match for you specifically is likely a feature, not a bug.

Apple has always been quite heavy-handed with the developers on its platforms regarding user experiences.

At some point - sooner rather than later - it becomes more profitable to lend to carbon emitters than deal with those busybodies.
I have pretty much retired (i.e. suck at interviews and can't deal with the nonsense in industry anymore and am not one for management) and am thinking of going to get a PhD just because these days, I like doing research for the hell of it. Someday I will finish writing my first paper.... If I ever get a full time job again, it will have to be some sort of researchy sort of thing, so a PhD will be useful to get past HR etc.

Your PhD program is what you make of it. If you are not interested in going into full time academia, the uni will still take your money if you look like a good candidate and can get through the program. I suppose you have to worry about competing with other students if you both are trying to get the one open position with a professor... So make sure you can pay your own way and then you won't be dependent on being a wage slave for the university and all that industry-lite crap.

But really, ask yourself over and over "why do I want a PhD?" until you're sure of the answer - it is 3+ years of your life doing only that and it could be brutal due to the workload etc.

Engineering/CS programs are probably more laid back or less 'political' (i.e. those scary stories) than humanities or other STEM degrees. I have noticed some interpersonal drama in some sense just hanging around the uni these last few years, e.g. students and dealing with them, a general sense of the academic environment. But I make sure to stay out of it.
The public's perception isn't what's important. It's what people in DC think. And they read the NYT op-ed page.

He spent months telling people that their country was being stolen from them when what's really happening is the country is moving on. He lied and he lied and he lied some more. He told them that if they didn't fight for him they wouldn't have a country and then he told them we need to go together to intimidate our lawmakers. Of course he didn't have the balls to march alongside them but he literally spent months feeding the anger, formed that particular crowd, and pointed them towards congress.

I was watching the entirety of the events through streamers cameras from start to finish. Were you?
Thx. This looks cool.
Thanks for offering your perspective on this. Solving climate change is first about getting to net-zero GHG emissions, or as close as possible. There are many companies working to reduce the release of CO2 and CO2 equivalents across different segments of the economy, from ag to construction to transportation. Many are focusing on developing and deploying alternative energies and capture technologies, which are great and needed. Our approach is to reduce the CO2 and equivalent emissions produced by O&G today. This is different from the mainstream viewpoint for sure, but especially in areas like methane venting (see links in my other comments) there is a large opportunity for immediate impact.

It is worth remembering the Australia fiasco. The Australian media led by Murdoch basically shook down Facebook until they came to am agreement to give the media kickbacks. Then Australia agreed not to apply its law.

The European media has also demanded payments, even though the value flows from sending traffic to news sites and not the other way around.

The media seems to believe it is entitled to be send traffic AND to be paid for it. Common story all over the world.

So, to reduce those demands in America, Facebook pays kickbacks to the biggest media orgs.

Here, the media publication is presenting it as a grant for favourable coverage. But the far more likely explanation is Facebook knows the media will shake it down for more money unless it gives them a payoff.
"All" isn't an accurate description. Much of it did happen on Facebook, and in response Facebook swiftly put in place new policies to prevent the situation from escalating. Unlike Facebook, Parler was unwilling to enact emergency measures, so instead emergency measures were enacted on them.

> Decentralization is going to happen.

I wonder about that. If you think about it, Parler isn't particularly "decentralized", either. It isn't Twitter, but it is controlled and curated by a fairly arbitrary authority. In theory, if you didn't like Twitter's rules, and you didn't like Parler's rules, you could just move off to another competing service - if you or somebody else started one up (easy) and did the legwork of advertising it far enough that enough people used it to make it useful (hard). True decentralization would be something like Tor, I2P or Freenet, where all the users cooperate to share bandwidth and there's no plug to pull and no central dictator to ban content. However, truly decentralized services have been around for a long time now (I seem to recall installing Freenet once in the late 90's), and they have yet to catch on. As much as some of us fear the power of central planning, it seems as though the majority of people like knowing that there's nuclear kill switch that can be pulled if the communication platform gets to be too contentious.
I fully understand the way forks work - what I found troubling is that for somebody who is dying to do something interesting, for close to no pay, there seems to be little indication of them doing things out of pure passion/interest as is. For somebody expecting me to hand pick things that are super fun to work on there is not enough incentive/conviction for me to trust this person and/or invest any time into onboarding/managing them. That's literally why you get paid "the big bucks" - the employer can demand specific things without having to depend on your mood and attitude towards task A.

The only thing I can suggest to the author is what others have already said - go in to academia/research and volunteer your time to selected interests.

One scenario in which the author's attitude and desires could work is if he starts his own business and focuses on the fun things while paying others to do the boring stuff. But then again - building a successful business to achieve the luxury of total choice takes a lot of "boring" work beforehand.

> What's "enough to live"? Enough so you don't die of deprivation of something? That's not enough.

It'd be a decent start. Yes, America's destitute have enough food, and yes, the "enough-to live" line is arbitrary: if you're poor in France, the government will provide you with a computer and an internet connection. I'd be happy to have a debate about whether we as a society want to pay for something like that.

But providing all citizens with basic shelter and healthcare should be non-negotiable in the richest nation on earth.
