You mean like when Alexander Hamilton was killed in a duel by a rival politician? And Hamilton's son was killed in a duel as well?

All you get are the blood of pacifists. As pacifists are forced into duels and their opponents shoot them. Do you want all the pacifist politicians dead or retired?

The duelist era of American politics led to Andrew Jackson. A man who forced the trail of tears on his opponents. Live by the duel, rule by the duel. You just get sadistic assholes as president
The rich are getting richer because they are able to acquire more and more property and prices keep going up.

Simply limit the number of properties a person can own would solve a lot of price issues.

Also limiting property as something you can pass down would drop prices fast as well.

These things are impossible because the rich and their property ownership is protected and this is a dangerous idea for the masses
Swagger may be autogenerated, but if the internal structure of the app is crap then you still won't have a good time. I once encountered an API which managed to have about a dozen (!) "Token" classes, all referred to as "token" in all responses but all slightly different. The docs (autogenerated, though not by swagger) helpfully informed me that "a Token is required for this request" on every request type without specifying which type of token.

Yep.

There's no shortage of small towns in the US. If I threw a dart at a map of the US, I'd probably hit near one. (OK, a lot of the West is federal land but there are a lot of them.) There are a lot fewer that:

- Are in a climate you prefer

- Have recreational options you like

- Are perhaps gentrified to the degree they have food/cultural options you want

- Are perhaps at least reasonably accessible to major city/airport

- Aren't too susceptible to natural disasters

- etc.

An American Epidemic of ‘Covid Mania’
Unlike Uber, Google has proactively taken steps to ensure contractors are not able to be considered employees. If Google wants to use contractors, for one reason or another, lawyers have told them they need to take these sort of steps.

This whole article is basically complaining that being a contractor sucks because the law forces Google to follow these sorts of practices, but then blames Google for following these sorts of practices.

If it's public data, people will "abuse" it just as well by requesting/scraping the website directly. In most cases it'll cost you more in resources when someone "abuses" the website as opposed to the API (as they'd typically make more requests and/or use more bandwidth on irrelevant things).

Although getting fired for something like this implies you are already on thin ice, and you basically pushed your luck.

All respect to the op though, these companies aren't your friends, and the very second you have a better opportunity you need to take it. By far the best experiences of my early adulthood was getting fired, I learned at a young age to not feel any loyalty to these companies. They don't care if your wife, or your kids are sick. They don't care if you need HealthCare coverage to keep living, they only care about the bottom line

Disclaimer: I was a Cub Scout and Boy Scout who learned a number of knots. Fishing also helps by necessity.

FYI: ABOK #80, #186, #464, #1206 are called Granny knots but not the Granny of shoe knots.

#1212 is the conventional shoe knot, #1215 - #1219 are alternate versions. I don't see a Granny shoe knot except maybe #1220 as a parcel knot, perhaps because it's "wrong" for the cosmetics of shoes. Granny knots were/are a derisive term for dangerous or improper knots. IIRC right rectangular prism parcels were wrapped in brown paper like a Christmas present but then wrapped once in twine, twisted 90 degrees underneath, wrapped again perpendicularly, and then finished with a Granny shoe/parcel knot at a 45 degree? angle. I guess one could also use other knots, but they maybe more difficult to untie.

https://archive.org/details/TheAshleyBookOfKnots has a bazillion knots categorized and with their uses.

Plus, when a 100-year pandemic hits and people flee the nearby metropolitan area for your upstate town, waving wads of cash and bidding up prices, and your landlady decides she'd like to get in on the action and put up for sale the house you live in, so on top of all the other stress and uncertainty of living through a 100-year pandemic you can also wonder where you're going to find a new place to live, you'll thank your lucky stars you never made the mistake of becoming a homeowner.
I do fantasize about owning property sometimes. This transient lifestyle makes picking up certain hobbies (a big aquarium for example) a non-starter.

However if I'm going to spend a big chunk of my net worth on property, I'd rather that property be in a place I'm looking forward to retire in, not in a place I'm bound to because of job opportunities.
Not much of a powerlifter, but my working squat was > 2x bodyweight for a while.

I find it easier to lift weights in metric. It helps that I'm EU based, so my plates are in KG.

10kg, 5kg, 2.5kg, 1.25 kg. I've never needed to get down to washers, 1.25 kg jump is small enough to make even with 'small muscle' exercises (wrist curls)

Both ends of this subject are equally stupid and tone deaf.

First of all the employee was working on a driver for an IBM product and is an IBM employee so the IBM opinion is not completely wrong even if awkward and extreme. If the employee wants to work on their employers products, even as a hobby outside of work, they should disclose their affiliation even if my email address.

Secondly, many employers forbid moonlighting even when profit is not a motive. This is rare for a technology company but common for financial companies due to potential for ethical conflicts in both regulations and transfer of funds/services.

On the other hand I remember submitting an RFC ID about 12 years ago for an alternative web technology where the technical merits of the idea would later become proposals in other forms more directly aligned to HTML5. The idea went back and forth on the mailing list about how it wasn’t worth considering unless directly aligned with HTML5 regardless of any technical merits. I eventually said “fuck this” and left. I remember after that side comments about how I wasn’t really employed by Sabre. I listed Sabre as my primary employer on the last page of the document. I didn’t have a Sabre Holdings email address because I worked for Travelocity a wholly owner subsidiary that did not own IP (Sabre did). I was also contributing to the mailing list using my military email because I wrote the document while working at Travelocity but had temporarily separated for a military deployment to Afghanistan. Fuck that group.

My experience from working on open source taught me that an employer owns it and can slap a patent on it if not already exposed to the public. So, always expose your hobby work to the public using extreme licenses like AGPLv3 or CC0-1.0 and completely separate that work from any revenue stream until you are ready to incorporate.
So much this! The would-be vulcans of the modern world can be so exasperating at times..

I've done a lot of research on deleting reddit data recently and there are some important things the reddit community should know about reddit data and actually deleting it.

The most important thing is that 99% of reddit deletion tools out there (in fact all I have found except for two) do not actually delete your reddit data.

Most of these tools rely on the last 1000 posts and comments listed on your profile but do not delete any other comments or posts you have made and even then, most of these do not edit your comments and posts before deleting which means those 1000 posts and comments are still stored on reddit's servers.

To completely remove your reddit data, I have found only one way and that is with reddit-shreddit [0]. Despite its name being extraordinarily similar to another popular reddit deletion tool called Shreddit [1] which doesn't actually work, it is entirely different. reddit-shreddit works by taking the data from a reddit GDPR data request which includes links to all your posts and comments and editing and deleting each and every one. With this method, reddit-shreddit does not need to scrape posts and comments from reddit to know what to delete. It can leverage the official GDPR-compliant data request from reddit ensuring all of your posts and comments are known and are deleted. If you wish to confirm they are actually deleted, you can submit another data request to verify all of your posts and comments are gone from reddit's servers. It may also be possible to remove your data from reddit with a GDPR request but I'm not sure. I haven't looked into that.

Although you can remove your data from reddit's servers, that does not mean it is gone. Ever since reddit was created, people have been scraping and archiving it. The most popular reddit archiving service is called pushshift and it has archives for every year of reddit up to 2015 when it started archiving every month. Pushshift runs the API that powers this website and other popular reddit tools like removeddit and the former ceddit. Luckily the developer has been known to delete your data if you request it. I've seen it mentioned on reddit that you can email him or pm him on reddit and he will remove your data. Unfortunately all the archives from previous years are still floating around the internet outside of pushshift but at least your data will disappear from the largest source.

> Love the good pay.

> It pays relatively well ($15 per hour for most contract workers).

How is that relatively well? Compared to McDonald's employees, probably. Compared to other actual technical jobs, like electrician, I can't imagine. Compared to Google devs, not at all.

Working 40 hours a week with no vacation that's about 31k. Being a contractor means no sick leave, vacation days, pension, insurance, etc.

The US is such an odd country.
> There’s more to that than the simple example you give.

It's likely "You are an IBM employee 100% of the time" has a similarly complex backstory.

> I dunno, does your bakery need that cake? Are your tools at home equal or better than the ones in your office?

Ultimately, if the bakery explicitly says "stop putting your personal shit in the work display", you obey or be fired. Even if it's a better cake, or your at-home tools are better.

Not surprised. IBM is a shitty workplace. I am still kind of sad that they acquired Red Hat ~2 years ago.
The whole point of shadowbanning is that the spammer/annoying poster doesn't know they're banned and need to create a new account to keep trying to spam/troll the board. If you tell them generally they'll just create a new account, it's especially bad for sites like HN where there's not even an email required for creating an account. As it's gotten easier to create temporary emails shadowbanning becomes increasingly more effective because it increases the amount of spam that gets blocked before the account owner notices to create a new one.
Monday night shanties at the Gris are great! Years ago, friends and I made it a weekly habit to drive the 45-50 minutes up to Essex on Monday nights. I'm glad that they're planning on making a comeback after COVID and put it on my list of things to do when it's safe, but now I'm wondering if they're going to be even more crowded.

>Contractors love the good pay and engaging work in Google's data centers. They resent that Google and its staffing firm, Modis Engineering, make them quit every two years.

>[...] But those two-year contracts are written in stone. Workers like Wait are not usually allowed to apply either to renew their contracts or to do the same job as a Google employee. If they want to keep working in the same job, they have to leave the data center for six months and then come back and apply again — but neither Google nor Modis will tell workers why.

>[...] Google likely requires the six-month leave due to federal employment law, Barbara Figari, an employment attorney in California, told Protocol.

Yes. All companies got rattled by Microsoft losing their lawsuit with permatemp contractors in 2000: https://www.google.com/search?q=microsoft+contractors+lawsui...

Before the Microsoft settlement, I was able to sell my services directly to the client company as a 1099 freelance contractor because I did not want to be an employee. But after that, all companies got paranoid about contractors and I then had to go through a middleman bodyshop as a "fake" W-2 employee. The programming bodyshop then skims a fee from my hourly rate to provide a "lawsuit shield" for the client that wants to pay for my services.
It's also a good way to identify who is making requests and allow you to make exceptions for some clients vs others.

I like public api's that provide access for non identified clients but they are throttled highly, versus clients who register to access a token.
And you can’t abuse the download in the same way?

And the USA has rules preventing military from becoming politicians unless there's a break period. Because the risks of a politicized military are off the charts.

Politics and military do NOT mix. And the current status where military is subservient to politicians is superior to many other setups we've seen.

Aren’t data center employees crucial as they are making sure your services are running perfectly even in an event of emergency.

Why not hire them and pay them better wages
On the other hand, IBM owes you 6000+ hours of overtime per year. And a good chunk of that is double overtime, and probably triple overtime.
On top of that, funds like these are usually running for a set amount of time. One of the USV funds in question here is 9 years old and likely have a 10 year horizon. They're well into the phase where they're seeking to figure out whether to seek a sale or do what they did here and hand the shares to their limited partners.
It is if you collect the right things. My garage has a small area with things that my kids thought were cool. She has a stick that she thought looked cool, some cicada shells, a dried up Luna moth, some rocks that she thought looked like things other than rocks and lord knows what else.

Her collection isn't much to most people, but she's pretty proud of it.
I am not missing how they changed emails, I was in fact commenting on that. Being reviewer (vs maintainer) is not having any special privilege, it's just subscribing to emails.
> I'm over the whole thing. In an area where the median family income is around 55k/year, anyone that makes double that as a single individual can live like a king. Consequence: none of us that live here can afford the increase in taxes, home values, or property values anymore.

This is a consequence of growing income/wealth gap, and governments having bet the farm on economic growth that is not materializing (partly assuming growth in population which is no longer there). Government has to keep devaluing dollar to keep making debt payments, and this devaluation exacerbated the income/wealth gap. The only winning move is to be pulling in more money and plowing it back into asset inflation.
I recently returned from a mid-sized town in the Mountain West, and I can confirm that the headline is true.

It's a particular kind of boom. A lot of out-of-state money and migrants have poured in to buy houses in places with fewer COVID restrictions and lower prices.

That is fundamentally changing the character and politics of those cities.

People are buying houses after nothing more than a Zoom tour. The car dealerships have run out of four-wheel drives (even though the winter was dry). Traffic is up.

A couple of those states have turned more blue, and a couple have turned more red. It might all be a symptom of the Big Sort.

Construction materials have increased in price by several times, and building improbably continues, especially in places like Bozeman (mentioned in the piece).

In some Mountain states, a lot of people never took masks seriously. You could say that people are moving down the COVID policy gradient.

I don’t think your status as a world power comes from 50% of your political leaders.

At least, if that status was lost after that battle I’d seriously look into other reasons.
It’s not just the acquisition of the land but also the investment in the economy that surrounds the land. All land starts out near worthless and in the middle of no where. Generations of sacrifice and investment are what turns it into a highly valuable property. That process can also reverse if the owner ceases to improve the property and invest in the community.

I am an avid long-distance cycle tourer myself. From time to time on cycling forums someone claims "only privileged Westerners can cycle across multiple countries, because people from the developing world don’t have the means to, or in those countries social expectations demand that young people stay at home and work hard to support their families."

This article is therefore welcome proof that, even though Westerners certainly enjoy some privileges like a stronger passport, this pastime has nevertheless attracted even Indians. And for it’s worth, probably the first mention of cycle touring I ever saw as a young man, was two Iranians (!) cycling around the world and giving an interview to a Canadian newspaper about their experiences while passing through that country.
My family's farms were replaced by starter castles. I sort of understand the economic and social forces. It still makes me incredibly sad. (I can't even drive past my family's former lands.) Sprawl is evil. Big Ag is evil.

More recently, some local farmers worked with local government and businesses to figure how to conserve farm land. New laws and capital. Pairing immigrant farmers with land. (Here's the first hit from a quick search, not authorative, just to get the gist. https://crosscut.com/focus/2020/02/how-immigrant-farmer-kent...)

These efforts to conserve -- farms, wet lands, open spaces -- make me so proud.

At the same time, I'm pro development. Done smart. Such a huge opportunity.

I'm completely on board with Matt Yglessia's One Billion Americans (1B4USA) thesis. For so many reasons. Mostly as a way to reinvest and revitalize the entirety of our country. Back to Main Street. Back to family farms. Back to localized economies.

No. If we accept your argument then this would be correct:

But the parent said:

> In absence of a standard effectively every language construct is 'undefined behavior'.

Undefined behaviour != implementation defined behaviour. Both of these things exist in C and are separate. You can rely on implementation defined behaviour giving some consistent result on a given, compiler and hardware. You cannot rely on the behaviour of your program if you hit undefined behaviour.
Hopefully he gets to be an IBM employee 0% of the time and work somewhere else where his contributions to OSS would be appreciated. And IBM can continue to kick themselves at losing a contributor and wonder why they're just a consulting firm now.

FWIW, these people seem to be people who otherwise have no skilled work experience.

To compare I’ve seen electrician apprenticeships paying less than that.
Yes it does. You are e paying for a lot more than a DAC with an iPod and a DAC is more than chip.
