At some point people really have to stop trying to guess what is going on in real-time and adopt a more patient, evidence based approach. India is huge, the healthcare system is said to be collapsing and most of them don't speak English. We aren't going to get coherent reporting in the English press for a few months.

On the other hand, if we're worried about variants then I hope there are some hard conversations happening about what the strategy here is. Part of what went wrong at the start of COVID around March 2020 was the reactive approach waiting for hard proof that the disease would slip through the borders before cancelling flights. This approach runs a risk that any action will be taken too late.

To be honest, I'm confused by the amount of air travel that is still going on. If locking down large swathes of most countries is on the cards, why is there any air travel happening? Why was there a high profile diplomatic visit to India being planned? Are the benefits from all these plane trips really outweighing the costs? We may as well be trying to evolve COVID to sneak past quarantines.

How is it acceptable to scuttle the economy in response to COVID, why are there still plane flights 12 months in to the pandemic? Someone fill me in on what I've missed; this seems to be not taking the situation seriously. Are these variants not going to be travelling between countries by plane and ship?
Given the hockey stick number of cores coming at us, I see pinning and better temporal avoidance being solutions. High security code will be pinned to its own core, running in its own memory area.

So much more scheduler work to do.
Much appreciated. I’ll be adding to the fluid mechanics notebook this summer.

What areas are you interested in?
what about the repeated writing is the issue though? in theory shouldn't the TBW be the TBW? that's why I was speculating about heat.
Futurama style suicide booths would be terrible. A huge fraction of the people who use them would be people who if they had just had to wait a couple of years would no longer have been suicidal.

Some stats [1]. In 2013 among students in grades 9-12 in the US, 11.6% of males and 22.4% of females seriously considered attempting suicide in the previous 12 months.

19.6% of females and 10.3% of males made a plan about how they would attempt it. 10.6% of females and 5.4% of males did attempt it. But only 3.6% of the females and 1.8% of males made an attempt that actually resulted in injury, poisoning, or overdose that required medical attention.

With a Futurama suicide booth where all you have to do is step in and insert a coin, which you can easily do on impulse while passing by, I'd expect that most of those "seriously considered" cases would become "successfully suicided" cases. As would a lot of people who considered it but not seriously.

Because childhood nutrition, healthcare, schooling/community and other living conditions are huge causal factors towards a talent pool of people who are prepared to pass a software engineering interview? The original complaint here is all about 'seniority' being inherently unfair due to those societal conditions.

Trying to 'unbias' (meaning a calibrated, countervailing bias actually) at the other end of the funnel, where incidentally 80%+ are already super liberal, doesn't really get the same mileage.
How many people would Google actually need to supply humanity with targeted ads?

I suspect that ultimately, most are just there to out-innovate would be upstarts that might, perhaps, take some of their pie. But this doesn't have to go on forever, there already is the precedent of Google not dying at all from utterly failing with their Facebook counter. And that's just one example. I believe that the "productivity crisis" is actually much deeper than it seems because so many parts are glossed over by zero sum games taking up some of the overcapacity.
They shouldn't look at Asciidoc, they should look at Asciidoctor, an extended language: https://asciidoctor.org/

It would seem to fit particularly well, because it was specifically designed to cover DocBook as much as possible.

That both helps with conversion and with the sematic markup requirements.
This is how the Bukkit disaster happened. Microsoft "bought" the leading Minecraft server software, hiring some of the major developers and I guess not telling anyone else, and some of them were unamused that they were (in their eyes) doing free work for Microsoft when their colleagues got hired. So they rescinded their GPL licensing of their contributions and sent DMCA notices. Which pretty much ended the project, except for Spigot continuing development in the form of patches that the server operator applies with a script.
I think we are in a transition period where a new underlying economic system will be underwritten (and with it our politics system). We simply cannot continue this way.

I'm at a startup (tiny) now, and thanks to DIE bonuses and hiring emphasis n at FAANGs, diverse candidates have never been more unaffordable.

Thoroughly middle of the road, PHP programmers who can't do front end at all, demanding large equity stake AND a salary higher than anyone else at company. They are just valuing themselves at market for a black engineer.

It's a shame, because in the chance my company (we are already doubling enterprise customers every 3 months) does well, some journalist will comment on how early employees are skewed towards white/male.

(I should note that founder/ceo is a woman who was so amazing when I interviewed that I took a pay cut for more equity, cuz she's a beast who I'm convinced will lead our company to success)

I'm quite concerned about this. I use Audacity quite heavily and have for many years. It's become an important part of my workflow. I'm not opposed to it in theory but after seeing how they handled Muse Score, I really worry about how Muse Group will attempt to monetize Audacity.

If anybody has insight into the plans, I'd love to hear them.
I always assumed that the in-browser download completing ~instantly and a native branded GUI establishing itself as a separate window must make the average user slightly more likely to follow through with the installation, instead of forgetting about the download. Basically an attention trick.
My understanding is while Blender is not the market leader, it does have significant market share, and significant corporate funding. OTOH, commericial usage of GIMP is pretty much nothing.

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2021)
Please state the location and include REMOTE, INTERNS and/or VISA when that sort of candidate is welcome. When remote work is not an option, include ONSITE.

Please only post if you personally are part of the hiring company—no recruiting firms or job boards. Only one post per company. If it isn't a household name, please explain what your company does.

Commenters: please don't reply to job posts to complain about something. It's off topic here.

Readers: please only email if you are personally interested in the job.
It's also unlike a wealth tax in the sense that you are not approaching a legislated minimum. If there is 1000x inflation you still only lose the capital gains taxes. If the government introduces a 5% wealth tax you lose everything after 100 years.

NO MORE TALKING ABOUT “MISTAKES”

I DONT MAKE MISTAKES SO I CERTAINLY DO NOT LIKE BEING REMINDED ABOUT THEM. REALLY THERES NO SUCH THING AS A MISTAKE, JUST CREATING OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN. AND ONCE LEARNED THERES NO POINT IN GOING BACK OVER IT AND THINKING ABOUT WHETHER THE “CORRECT” (WHAT DOES THAT WORD EVEN MEAN?) DECISION WAS MADE AT THE TIME, OR MAKING A CHANGE IN LIGHT OF NEW INFORMATION. LIVE IN THE NOW. AFTER ALL, THE PAST IS JUST A STORY WE TELL OURSELVES! LETS TELL BETTER STORIES.

To your point about using google services to build products. I believe that idealogical purity as a false litmus test.

The service doesn't track you. Zero analytics.

Firebase is an excellent tool.

I found O’Reilly subscription to be useful. Around $400/year.

Sure, but that's what you get for running a successfully bootstrapped company. You get to do whatever you want with it. DHH and Jason could have been, no doubt about it, much wealthier had they gone the typical funding route, but would not have had this kind of control. It's their lifestyle business, they get to pick their lifestyle. They who control 51% call the shots. Personally, I'd way rather work somewhere like that where a founder you know has that power than some investors you've never met. (Been there... woke up one morning and found out the company was for sale and we were to pick redundancies and slash until it sold, it sucked. )
No. It doesn't even explain what "hyper-color" is.

That's often the only thing that actually substantially changes between editions. Shuffle the exercise numbers and change the font and spacing and voila, brand new edition completely incompatible with older versions!
I can't say for certain because I do not work there, but in practice even at the busiest times I've never seen speeds drop.
This passage from the "Wisdom of Insecurity" by Alan Watts sheds more light on the concept of "surrendering knowledge" as a way to realize truth:

> The discovery of this reality is hindered rather than helped by belief, whether one believes in God or believes in atheism. We must here make a clear distinction between belief and faith, because, in general practice, belief has come to mean a state of mind which is almost the opposite of faith. Belief, as I use the word here, is the insistence that the truth is what one would “lief” or wish it to be. The believer will open his mind to the truth on condition that it fits in with his preconceived ideas and wishes. Faith, on the other hand, is an unreserved opening of the mind to the truth, whatever it may turn out to be. Faith has no preconceptions; it is a plunge into the unknown. Belief clings, but faith lets go. In this sense of the word, faith is the essential virtue of science, and likewise of any religion that is not self-deception.

How would Florida enforce this for a company that isn't based in Florida? Or for deplatforming politicians outside Florida? I don't see how they have jurisdiction here.

I fully support allowing the device itself to have alternative OS installations after the end of official support.

The reason 1st gen iPads don’t have this is fairly obvious though - the unlocking feature is itself a likely vector for attacks e.g. by law enforcement unlocking tools, etc.

I’m not sure what it would take to enable it to be done securely without destroying the overall security model but it’s clearly not trivial, and would take some investment that certainly wasn’t possible at the time the 1st gen device was released.
I love this idea. The best way to get academics to buy in would be to have some clear outcome such as a publication or funding opportunity.

There are a lot of clunky engineering tools that would benefit greatly from professional software development. Computational Fluid Dynamics software in particular is just plain awful in terms of usability for beginners.

One thing is missing comparing to virtualbox, is the bridge-mode especially when host uses wireless which is very common these days.

virtualbox hacked bridge-mode and made it working well all the time, with libvirt/qemu/kvm you will need write a lot of scripts and click around to set this up.

This is the sole reason I had to stick with virtualbox these years.

I went searching around using that info and came across a (similarly outraged) thread on google's support forums about this video, in which someone named longzijun seemed to make a reasonably sound counter-argument:

https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/108213944/a-posted...

> Then she files a counter-notification. The appeals process has not been completed. She is only part-way through it.

> Once she files that and if she does it properly, the claimant has 14 days to initiate a court action against her or the claim is released, the strike removed and the video goes back online.

> Obviously, the claimant will not pursue legal action in this case.

> False claims can cause inconvenience for sure, but with the counter-notification system, they don't do long-term damage.

> Both the takedown system and the counternotification system are mandated by US law (specifically the DMCA).

> YouTube is not supposed to intervene in copyright cases. If they do so, they will lose their safe harbor status (again under the DMCA) that protects YouTube from being sued for hosting copyright infringing content.

> To sum up

> 1) the dispute process has not been completed in this case

> 2) your beef should be with US legislators, not YouTube
Documentation is a feature, the rest of my comment is anecdotal but in many shops, it’s tracked as part of the task of coding. I’ve started making separate JIRA tasks to explicitly create or update the documentation and have told my team to do the same. So far, the results are good.
How does anybody fall for these scams? Also any celeb who speaks there should be shamed. Particularly Kevin Hart.

I'm sure that would matter if I decided to search for videos to see how it is used.

This is weird on so many levels.

- The article Snowden linked is public. Presumably people already know about it?

- I don’t know about the details of the case, but the host wasn’t found guilty. That seems relevant.

- Snowden joined the conference just to call this guy out? Seems like a strange thing to do. Why not just not join the conference?

Why did Snowden do this?
That is not what the article is about though.
That is not evidence of anything. There are many reasons that third party service is cheaper that have nothing to do with some conspiracy by Apple.
This the single largest driver of M1 performance.

No. There are never any excuses for making false accusations, like claiming that a publicly, documented, authenticated, third-party API was being used illegally.

There is also no excuse for sending threats of use of physical force by CCP instead of sending a proper DMCA.

Even if musescore-downloader was doing illegal things (and I would argue it wasn't, since there was no circumvention of anything), the law should be followed by both sides, no excuses. That means sending a DMCA instead of a threat.
Remarkable how when 1/3 of the company resigns in one go - many of whom have great and longstanding professional reputations with no history of political activism and including head of marketing, design, customer support, iOS etc. - following fundamental changes they read about in a blog post, it's because _they_ were all intolerable, proselytizing activists who all had to go for the good of the company.

Absolutely nothing to do with the two leaders who spend a good chunk of time on social media telling the rest of the world how to run their business in the most in your face way possible.
This contradicts everything I’ve ever read on the topic, is there a good reason I should trust this source over others?

Forgive my ignorance here, but won't capitalism sort this all out?

Businesses need to raise prices. Some do and less people buy from them. Some can't make ends meet and close. Now the number of businesses is less. So, the number of open jobs is less. Potential employees now have a lower 'supply' of jobs. The wage for those jobs then falls. Somewhere in there, a new equilibrium is reached and everyone is unhappy for a while.

I'm not trying to discount the emotional pain that comes with this process. Putting your life into something that just blows up is hard. Especially when you had nothing to do with it. I feel for those owners, the situation is the opposite of fun.

But this is how capitalism works. The US is not a planned economy like China. Capitalism is core to the system (bastardized as it is). Markets change and shops close up. It sucks, but this is the process as I understand it. If I'm understanding it wrong, I would very much like to know because then I really am missing something big, and that's not good.
Six months runway of a senior basecamp salary for no points has gotta be the best funding deal IN THE WORLD. like 10 times better than any incubator deal. Is it any surprise a bunch of people took it and left? I expect a not-insignificant number are happily starting their next ventures, regardless of their politics. My current job is probably the only one I've ever had that I would not have taken six months pay to leave.
Double taxation increases tax complexity. If possible we limit ourselves to as few taxes as possible but make those we keep count.
India’s vaccine czar has moved to the UK due to “unprecedented” threats
Uh. I thought that micro-ops were literally microcode instructions/operations?
I grew up on the east coast of the uk. When I was a kid in the 70’s my brother and I would catch huge cod right off the beach with beachcaster rods. Now he tells me there are no big fish left, only small ones, and few of those come in. He doesn’t bother fishing anymore. IMO the time for taking fish is done - we need to leave the ocean alone and let it heal. Also, we clearly have a population boom based on over exploitation of natural resources. Fish - depleted, topsoil - in bad shape, bees - in bad shape. Typical natural world bubble of a species that ate all of the available prey.
The woman owned and founded startup I work for is completely unable to hire the diverse candidates we have interviewed because they are completely unaffordable at a startup.

Why is this?

Because executives at various massive tech companies are getting massive bonuses connected to how many diverse people they hire. They give lavish salaries and large chunks of equity to people who they otherwise would not. Somebody who is getting offers like this is naturally going to have all of their incentives misaligned for joining a startup.

My company's back end code is Java and Python and we interviewed an engineer who I was willing to teach both of these languages to. She happened to be a black woman and only new PHP using the laravel stack. Zero experience doing front end coding and not really a standout when it came to databases and barely new cloud.

She asked for a large equity stake, but also wanted a salary of $195,000. We are not at all in the Bay area and this salary is completely ridiculous for somebody who also wants a lot of equity and has very few skills that connect to our code base.

She was hired at Amazon for some rather boring role on an internal team that helps the data centers meet energy efficiency requirements by building applications that are essentially dashboards for internal decision makers.

We actually talk on regular basis now because I give her some advice for learning Python.

She was simply negotiating based on her market value and her own fiscal priorities and made a sound well-reasoned decision.

If my company hits it big one day which of course is typically not high probability, people like you will show up and say that we are systemically racist. Ironically the twisted incentives at these massive companies are creating this issue. As long as women are significantly less interested in jobs involving things just like men are significantly less interested in jobs involving people we're going to have to admit that trying to bring things to 50/50 proportions is going to create weird incentives that will further create side effects.
Even if they were the case, this further shows how limited and dumb (i.e. not 'smart') YouTube's copyright voilation detection system is.

You (probably) can't copyright white noise because US copyright requires authorship. So in the same way that you can't copyright a phonebook's alphabetical list of numbers, you can't copyright random numbers rendered as sound, unless you did something else unique to it to exert authorship. It's just not something protected by copyright law. So even copying someone else's exact white noise sample is probably just fine.

The problem is that YouTube's system can only apply simple content matching rules and it counts any sufficiently long content match as a violation with no consideration of the work or context of use. Thats not how copyright law works. Copyright is a complicated system with all sorts of issues like fair use, derivative works, public domain, and works that don't qualify for protection. It's not a database query.
If a third of your small company are people you actually don't want working for you, that would be a sign of some pretty awful hiring and management.
