Doesn’t seem to be that bad of a thing. The OP is just being honest and taking things a bit further out loud for things people do any way. Especially in other ways. Replace politics with how people are nicer and more fluid with people of their own class (studies back this). We don’t have people spending time trying to correct this behavior that can have bad consequences. And have had bad consequences. Keeping the status quo in tact is awful. Most people are a part of that. Yet OP being honest about being opportunistic without actually oppressing any one is the sociopathic behavior?

Don’t forget this site is filled with people making six figures who spend how much time worrying and helping fix the world’s plights?

I don’t readily condemn them for not doing whatever enough would be. Just like I see no reason to condemn someone for using social opportunities that our society has allowed to be beneficial so easily.

Analogies, like other points of communication, have their place. As mentioned, in illustration.

Which is why they come into arguments. Because one person feels the other doesn't understand something and wants to "illustrate their point".

Sometimes:

- the opposition is arguing in good faith

- "understanding" is the issue

- the analogy is good and taken only for the point it was trying to illustrate

But not often.
That feels like quite a misrepresentation of the authors post. Especially criticizing (IMHO questionable) policies is not entitlement to this specific maintainer's time.

Even the specific example, do you really think "is also supposed to e.g. gracefully answer misc technical questions on community support channels" is a good takeaway from

> Contributors treated rudely. Contributors made to understand that their time is basically worthless. Nobody was treated like a contributor anyway, I felt treated as if I should be thankful to even be allowed to provide value to this company. You’d see people–people much more technically experienced than me–asking reasonable technical questions in the development channel of the project’s Discord, and Andrew Belt would tell them how much he charges per hour for consulting. What’s even the point of having such a channel then?

Citizenmore | Full Stack Engineer / Technical Co-Founder | Australia | Remote | Part-time (In interim) |

Citizenmore is a performance marketing lead generation agency for services based businesses that was started in the beginning of 2020. Included in our services is an internally built custom marketing automation tool that streamlines the routing of leads after they convert, to our clients.

This closes the gap of communication between when leads convert and when they first engage allowing businesses to connect faster.

This tool has paying customers and we are in the process of turning the tool into a SaaS product.

We are looking for a highly experienced Technical Co-Founder (offering significant equity) of the newly established entity that is a Full Stack Engineer to take ownership of completing the MVP process and continue on.

This is an amazing opportunity for a talented engineer who wants to build something they can call their own that already has some validation.

If you're interested, please email a very brief intro and your CV to: seb@citizenmore.co

Which is comparing like with like, isn't it? The USD in bank accounts is predominantly borrowed money, i.e. fractional reserve banking. There is more in bank accounts because Alice has $100 on deposit which the bank lends to Bob and credits Bob's account with $100, so now there is $200 in bank accounts but still only $100 in the vault.

Now I want to know if there is anybody doing fractional reserve lending in Bitcoin. Because if that was allowed anywhere it would erode its status as a deflationary currency and reinstitute the power of central banks to create the currency in the form of credits denominated in it at financial institutions.

Snowden isn’t what we think about with war crimes. Wikileaks is much more on that front. Snowden’s leaks were about the Patriot Act and surveillance state.

Your last paragraph didn’t happen for any recent major leak - Wikileaks war crimes, Snowden. Hell did it even happen with the Panama leak? There was no large change towards transparency. The little I’ve heard, the same usual tax shelters and money hiding continued.
The purpose is to align incentives so that there is competition for customers on both ends of the fiber cable.

The fiber cable itself is enough a commodity that it can be structured (from a business perspective) more like roads or water lines.

This is actually how ISP’s worked at the dawn of home Internet in the US. There’s no way the incumbent monopolies would have given people access to raw TCP/IP if not for decentralized competition. (Look at Prodigy, AOL and Compuserve’s behavior for the decade prior for hard evidence). Historically, the phone company in the US could even block the usage of answering machines and modems. It took anti-trust action to eliminate those bans. We see the same thing today, with AT&T’s crappy FTTN routers, intentional cable modem buffer bloating, and the abomination that is IPTV cable service.

Last mile only competition eliminates all those things.

> ShellCheck recognizes three hashbangs, POSIX, BASH, and the Korn shell (as is explained in the manual page). I would argue and assert that BASH is the least relevant of the three.

Depends on how you call "relevant", but I disagree regardless. If you're writing a shell script, you either need to be hard-core portable, in which case POSIX is your only option, or you don't, in which case you're almost certainly targeting a GNU/Linux system with BASH installed. Of course, if you know that you're targeting a specific system with a specific shell installed then by all means; if I were primarily an OpenBSD dev, I'd happily use ksh. But in general, the (unix) world is always going to give you POSIX, and BASH is the second most widely available option. And bluntly, for all that I love shell, if you're trying to argue for the most elegant or sophisticated language, sh/BASH/ksh is irrelevant because all of them kinda suck outside of their niche.

Is it just me, or is the "continuation" grammatical but completely nonsensical? It talks about infants being thrown into dust bins and calling them animals - not in an intentional way. It talks about trying to crawl away from the blood on his belly. It talks about bugs being ill. It just doesn't actually make sense.

You asked me if I could figure it out some reasons.

The only person who thinks the person is insane is you, so we are talking about your reasons.

This is still a practice at the Bolshoi, for example. The applauders get the dancers' tickets to sell or give away. In return, they get well-timed, enthusiastic applause that can make or break a dancer's career. Bolshoi tickets are on the order of 1/5 of an engineer's monthly salary, so the additional income for these applauders is not negligible.

To be clear, you mean that Oregon limits property tax increases by 3% every year -- independent of property value. So if your house goes up 25% in value one year your taxes only go up 3%. No?

NJ charges 2-3% assessed at current market value.
Terrible title - not OPs fault. “Bolt” should be replaced with a simple “leave”.

(Also, I don’t believe that bolt can be used as a transitive verb in this sense - i.e. the title is not only confusing but also ungrammatical.)
> Many people call me by a common nickname, I personally never cared one way or another.

This misses the point. If you would be bothered by an actually offensive nickname, surely you can empathise with trans people who feel the same way about pronouns. If you are truly unoffendable, great, but you must realise that you're unusual in that respect, and that trans people are far from the only ones 'dictating' how others refer to them.

In any case, this comment is more to the point (you may have already seen and downvoted it, I'm not sure): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27002002

They comprise a large percentage of the caloric intake of a lot of bird species, which are already fragile due to ecosystem fracturing. This could result in a hit to bird populations - and if the mosquitos adapt and rebound, the birds are unlikely to rebound nearly as quickly, allowing for a potential enormous boom in total mosquito population.
Pure alarmism. "Help keep X free of charge" is just an apology for the existing business model; incidentally, that's the same business model that keeps clickbait commentators like this in existence.

Making FB/IG paid would either be the final nail in their coffin, or just make them not-pointless. So it's win-win.

This story is so strange. First of all, it has been considered unprofessional to talk about politics at work for as long as I can remember. It's odd how you would need a rule implemented about that.
Is this just a generational thing?

On the other hand, when did racial equality become an inherently political topic? Especially racial equality inside the workplace.

This also doesn't mean that the Basecamp founders are responsible for systemic racism because they had a list of "funny" names and [gasp] employ at least one conservative.

What has happened to everyone? It's like we have taken the social media rage machine and applied it to real life interactions.
How? Well, you can start with the fact that it isn't over. If the objective had been to "revolutionize how we transact in less than 10 years" then you'd have a point. Now consider the reason why we're talking about delay instead of outright ban. States and institutions seem to know (in so far as large organizations are capable) that a crypto currency will inevitably be required in the somewhat near future, and a ban would be a massive strategic handicap. Hence the delaying tactics, like refusing to issue tax guidance for a ridiculous length of time.
The difference is, way more people agree with me
FANG SDM. Whereto Next?
Hi all:

I'm a Software Development Manager at Amazon (YoY TT and >top of band comp due to stock increase). ~5years management experience.

Background: transitioned from a Senior Software Developer a while back. Spent ~8 years at startups before that. Now looking to getting more varied experience and customer impact than that afforded at being a line manager at a FANG.

However, I'm running into what seems like a steep pay drop when looking at other companies.

Any suggestions on interesting + lucrative positions in the east coast?

Come around to every day America. Across the country. The number of people. In the tens of millions. Possibly 100M, who in different and varying ways, don’t want to tax the rich or [big] corporations much differently than the 95/99%.

Similarly, many, many people do not hate the rich in America. I’m not sure what rich amount you’re referring to. Another way of knowing there is no real hatred of the rich in the country is how few people are leftist or further left than that. Any one to the right of progressives who are to the right of the harder leftists, do not uniformly hate rich people or corporations. Maybe the ones they don’t agree with at best.

I’m speaking in generalities and am never saying things are 100% or 0% with any group I bring up. Just largely the case.

The author makes some good points. But since they are published on an `.org` site I must reserve judgment.

Therefore, I am forced to fall back to my default position that `.org` sites are inherently credible.

With that in mind, I object to all the points the author makes.

So, Linus Upson, former VP of Chrome, left Chrome to work on this. He explained it to me thusly:

The species of mosquito targeted here is actually a pest that follows humans around. It tends to only infest areas where humans have settled and mostly preys on humans. Where we go, it goes.

The genetic modification here is designed to shut down their breeding patterns. It targets that specific species and is far, far better for the local ecosystems than pesticides or other measures.

Basically, it's trying to kill off a pest species we bring with us.
There’s a large pressure for women to be empowered, have a career and a family. Many of these people might have chosen kids instead of career, or career instead of kids a decade or two ago.

My (stay at home) wife actually occasionally receives condescending remarks from other women who have careers. They are subtle and probably what some people would call micro aggressions, and imply that she is selling herself short by not being part of the new empowered generation.

Well no shit, and it is a problem that people don't know this.

In the research world we are still working on how to get broad optimizations and are treating problems like they are short tailed. Real world (especially in medicine, which is what Ng works on a lot) datasets are long tailed. You look at common datasets like CelebA and you'll find a ton of light skinned people and other attributes that are limited (picking because obvious, but most datasets have these attribute problems and bias doesn't necessarily have to do with race or even human attributes. It can be words or even just types of events. But race is easy to understand and easier to talk about). For the most part we don't really care about that in the research world because we're still trying to optimize performance on these small world datasets (there are people working on long tail problems. This work is getting more popular in generative face models because we've gotten good at the restricted problem: see StyleGAN2-ADA). But there seems to be plenty of people that think they can just apply a CelebA pretrained model and use it for production in the real world. The data is already bad to begin with. And since we haven't tested on better datasets who knows if our model itself is going to exaggerate those biases or not, even if we did have better data. (There's many places bias can appear in the pipeline)

The problem is that in the ML community we're just at the stage where we're bad at performance and so limiting how complex our environment is (e.g. if you operate on mostly white people your world is less complex that has a more diversified spectrum of skin tones). We're getting there though. That's what this talk about algorithmic bias is often about. But if you just take a model from a small world you shouldn't expect similar results in anything but the exact same small world that the researchers tested on.

TLDR: research is small world, production is large world. Don't expect a small world model to work as effectively in the large world.
Leave your phone permanently plugged in to the charging cable, somewhere that is not comfortable or particularly convenient to use it (e.g. nowhere to sit down). That way you can use your phone as much as you need when you need to, but you will be disincentivized to stand there on it for longer than you should.

> I think the armchair mental illness diagnosis is a bit much, but otherwise agree.

Unless worik has a wildly different definition of mental illness from the USA and every other industrialized society he’s advocating for caging and drugging people who have different preferences from him.

Turing killed himself because of how he was treated for his “mental illness”. The Soviets treated many people with antipsychotics for “slow schizophrenia” for opposing Communism.

Not understanding or supporting other people’s preferences is very, very far from calling it a mental illness.
