If you're accepting an offer to work for free for a major company, why do you think you'd have enough leverage to negotiate those other things?
I remember the days when functional languages wasn't a synonym for like Haskell does it.

Speaking of which just use OCaml bytecode backend or Haskell interpreter to see how slow complex languages are.

This is what is missing to Rust and cranelift might help to deliver, alongside not having to keep compiling the whole world from scratch.

No, what I am saying is that you do not get to personally dictate what behavior qualifies as harassment or bullying and then conclude that you are being deprived of your free speech.

That is what you are trying to do here, and it is nonsense. Just because you feel outnumbered does not mean you are being harassed or bullied. If I swear at a customer and they complain to my boss, that does not mean I'm being harassed or bullied. How utterly childish.
And here's what you left out:

To the credit of Americans IMO. Ego is quite common among high achievers and often beneficial as a motivator or confidence booster. Unexamined and disproportionate egos are self punishing as they directly harm chances of success. AFAICT any additional social stigma accomplishes nothing except perhaps the soothing of egos by less successful people. There are real disparities in ability & quality between people for which proven success is the strongest (and perhaps the only real) signal.
It's bad for the other photographers, but good for those looking to acquire photography services.
Going with your own logic here, you're just in the middle on a race to the bottom. The show would reject your offer for someone desperate who would not make any such demands. The producers are dictating the terms here, they are completely in control.
Gee, considering how many times you've tried to play your "Actually, the real villain is Maxine Waters!" card in this discussion, maybe you should enlighten us as to what contextual calls for actual violence she made. I, for one, would just love to see your sources.

Protobufs is a great comparison point and exactly what we upgraded from. It's like protobuf but specialized for rich data tables and, for those living outside google's proprietary layers, modern sensibilities. This brings wins like self-describing (no .proto, it optionally includes a schema), streaming, columnar by default, etc. By standardizing the notion of a table (and chunk within it, a record batch), it plugs into compute/io frameworks that work on tables: spark, pandas, etc. Most compute/db framework that gives you lists/tables will likely have out of the box support for it, and even when not explicit, via tools like turbodc for SQL DBs.

Arrow has compute libs, but we don't use them (yet). More as interop for compute engines that are fast (ex: rapids for gpu) or feature rich (ex: pandas for chunks). Likewise, for I/O, interop for good formats there: on-the-fly arrow -> persistent parquet|orc.

It's enabling us to do cool stuff like fast interop between our cpu<>gpu code, and in the latest initiative, crossing even process & language runtime boundaries w/ zero-copy.

Its worst with kids, where I think you're right -- mostly sugar, unless deliberately avoided.

I think adults eat more normal breakfasts, on average at least. I personally eat eggs & black coffee every day, most of my friends will have eggs and toast, or oatmeal or, something else reasonable.
I hope you can see the difference between doing something for free when it's your hobby, vs. doing something for free when it's your career.

If a TV show contacted you do create a web app, would you do that work for free? Would you give up other opportunities to get paid to do so?

I have almost 30K points and one of my most recent comments was -1'd. Take a look. It happens a surprising amount, and is IMHO rarely legit (per the HN "rules").

It is certainly legit if someone buries a sarcastic or trivial comment of mine (which happens, though I don't do it often), but I don't bother to delete them -- downvoting them does that effectively anyway.

I'm not sure if there's any actual value to karma and I don't really know how it's assigned and wouldn't really notice if it weren't on the top bar of the page. I haven't tried to do any experiments though.
I would add that the lack of religion might also contributes to the chabuduo in China. As earning money overwrites everything over make things proper (or with pride). Also as the population is supersized the parazite behaviour can survive much better than in smaller places. This might can be compensated with the pointing system in the world of internet thou.

Anyway I don't think it's an overgeneralization.
It is probably not the case for space rocket, but chabuduo also means the taped-together-bikes, the messy meat shop, driving the other side of the road, even if invisible following the promises standards etc. You meat with this every day guaranteed.

If somewhere than in Germany people are following the rules, tidy their environment etc. very very far from China.

Just take one example of the blind guide tiles. In Beijing and Shanghai I've already lost counts how many times it leads to an obstacle like cable post. In Germany, there would be not even one case even in country side...
This is self-hosted, so probably easier to apply security through obscurity.
Because you're a hobbyist and there's probably no chance in hell they'd contact you. This is this persons job and they look to be a professional. But imagine if Google or Microsoft or <insert whatever tech co> decided to ask you to do a software project for them for no money but you'd get exposure, would you do it? If so, I have a shit ton of work that I'll give you while collecting my salary and give you "exposure"...
I was thinking along the same lines. There is a big difference in exposure between a high profile Netflix show and the typical request from an Instagram influencer.
All civilized people condemn ethnic/racial supremacists so frankly if someone asks me if I denounce white supremacy I'm going to ignore it.

My choice not to dignify that question with a response is not an indication that I endorse white supremacists any more than my choice not to dignify a question like "do you believe the earth is round" indicates my belief that the planet is flat.

Firstly the US was not a petroleum exporter at the time of the Iraq wars.

Secondly, one take on the Iraq war was that it happened not to obtain fossil fuel resources, but rather to obtain control over them, and prevent them being exploited in a way which threatened the interests of US and/or Saudi oil.
It would be cool to see a comparison between this and existing libraries like p5.js.

They're also good manager training.
I agreed that legislating this is the best route here. It's hard to blame netflix for trying to get free labor when they know they are going to get away with it every time.

Did they even complete an FMEA on this product? When I first saw the headline a couple months back it was obvious from looking at product photos that they have a serious design flaw. The wrap around, unguarded track looks great. The safety issue could very well be mitigated with a light fence and a break.

Just because it's the norm doesn't mean it's not predatory.
Absolutely. Which is why. GP's comment about there being (or not being) a bamboo ceiling is wrong, or more charitably, has faults due to the underlying dataset used.
Great to see this on HN again, since we posted this article we started building CLUI into our product with great success.

I posted some videos on Twitter on how we use it in our app. Basically any place where you can image a lot of UI bloat, it's replaced by a CLUI bar:

Technically, from your own numbers... Denmarks intermittent renewables (wind + solar) is 43%. Germany is 34%. Biofuel & Hydro are not intermittent.

I don't know, that's pretty impressive. Maybe they have international connectors with other countries? I think Germany buys Nuclear power from France? or maybe they have a super stable kind of wind.
Do you have specific examples you’re thinking of? Calling it masochism is weirdly insulting. Adding complexity is a one-way street. Languages live for decades. There’s no reason to rush adding features in a half-baked way, and the tradeoffs in terms of compiler complexity are very real.
I don’t see how the fact that this behaviour has been normalized in a notoriously abusive industry makes it any less predatory...

I agree it’s not new but it can still be an important discussion. It shouldn’t continue to happen just because it has been happening.
I used to code in C# before Go. This isn't my first rodeo. Or even my second.

And I get that Go lacks in some areas. That's fine. All languages lack in some areas. Go wasn't designed to be all things to all people. It's very good at writing servers in. And there's a few projects written in Go that have proven to be pretty popular and scaled well ;)

It's not really YAGNI, which Go has been accused of (a lot), with some justification. It's more that simplicity is valuable, but it has a cost. Keeping Go simple is good, but the price of that simplicity is sometimes high. As you say, there is an opportunity cost.

I still think that cost is worth paying, and I'm not convinced (yet - I may be in time) that the reduction in simplicity that comes with generics is a price worth paying for the flexibility it brings.
I think everything you read is true, but also I think speaks to the overabundance of supply.

To put this in a different light - people (here among all places) are especially sick of firms like Accenture/IBM/etc. of loading up projects with unexperienced junior people and putting absurd markup on their services. Which one do people want? Paying for soccer teams full of inexperienced people learning on the job or promising inexperienced person experience and exposure as compensation for their services?

For the record - I'm speaking about this from the perspective of market dynamics, not regulations/morality. I personally think a co like Netflix is in the wrong here.
"much greater accountability" not equal "perfect new world"

my response to you was completely devoid of ideology and you keep trying to shoehorn snarky versions of enthusiast ideology into it

any way regardless of if you were actually asking a question or if you had already made an answer to it, the answer to that question is no, they don't haunt you forever and if the observable nature of blockchain transactions bothers you there are plenty of projects reducing that as well, which some segment of the market might find valuable

Please help keep HN interesting. Thanks.
Got ya. We are sticking with Par/Orc for now, we are running into the scenario where size of the data is going up, query SLA is going down. At some point, we will need to look at other technology to reduce cost without sacrificing performance.
It doesn't matter how much faster a full employee could complete a task. They are giving up their labor and should be compensated accordingly. If the company can't figure out how to derive value from that labor, that's its own fault.

Moreover, if companies weren't getting value out of internships, they wouldn't continue hiring interns.
> It's bad for everybody when professionals work "for publicity" or are encouraged to do so

It's important that we not allow our moral judgments to interfere with the facts. This is obviously false.
That's a horrible idea, who needs anything these days. I upvoted to prove my point only.
Never gets old!! This is probably one of the best adages ever. I just wish this was imprinted on every wall, on every city! This needs to be talked about more.

Ok, but that's just an appeal to authority, what's the moral grounding for those laws?

Of course lying and being deceitful for personal gain is wrong but why is it a criminal matter when an individual does it but a civil matter when a group does it?
Yeah, right. Sending my private key straight to $thirdparty.

Is it possible to create enough gas powered power plants and hydrogen storage facilities to have 100% of a nations capacity running for several weeks during the winter? Yes. Can it all be generated from ocean based windfarms with pipelines? Yes. Will it be cheap? No.

Just the production side, the cost in a 2019 study put the numbers around $7-9 per kg of hydrogen. This does not take into the account the cost of the pipeline, the storage facility, or the gas powered power plant. Remember that return of investment only occurs when demands actually exceeds that of cheaper renewable production, unless government steps in and adds subsidies like it does today with oil.

Is massive amounts of hydrogen a cheaper and safer alternative to nuclear? Given the lack of commercial built and operated hydrogen wind farms I suspect the answer is no on the commercial side. On the safety side it would be interesting to hear about operating large liquid hydrogen pipelines and storage facilities.
This is a great idea but it's a pity people will need the 'ShakeAlert' app installed. Why not just push such alert out over the Amber Alert/EAS system?

yes. the value is in the blockchain and being able to store data (content) on a database that anyone can access. This way the data is owned by the content creators (and public), not the platform.

If reddit or any other content-based platform goes down today, all of that data is lost which is very valuable. If Musing goes down, the content is forever stored on the blockchain and any other application can come and build on that data. That is the value-add. In addition, no API restrictions or paid API services to restrict applications to build on musing data.

The tokens distributed per post are determined/validated by the community (through upvotes), thereby incentivizing good content. Tokens also may be used for governance (voting), which would further decentralize the platform. Essentially, the people that participate the most in the platform (through providing valuable content), have the most say (through voting power) in future decisions. This is the value-add in decentralization, along with many other benefits of holding tokens
Ran into same issue. What worked was the first email that gives you a link to gumroad. After using the coupon and providing an email to gumroad, it showed me the confirmation page, but didn't send me an email for the PDF.
The fix was to go to that gumroad confirmation page, and where it says "enter a password" (basically it'll create a gumroad account) you'll then be able to login and check your gumroad account, book should be there.

If you expect to get immediate value you are doing it wrong.

The point is to build relationships with a good school and get a pipeline of applicants that will eventually become great engineers.

I recall someone whining he couldn't find good junior engineers. I suggested he go to his local (pretty good) CS school. He then started to whine that they all were already interning at good companies and were transitioning to full time and there was no way for him to break-in!

The scenario I imagine will play out will be something like the following.

Netflix get a sizable amount of applications from photographers of varying degree of skill and walks of life. Among these will be a few highly valuable photographers. Well established to carry out their part of this project.

These photographers are somewhat financially secure, and doing this without compensation isn't an issue. They might even frame this situation as a collaboration on equal terms.

On Instagram and the professional blog, the lucky one share posts describing the appreciation for getting the opportunity of helping Netflix out, the wonderful team and how much they look forward to Love is Blind.

Status isn't blind.
It's clear asking a professional to do this and not being up front about paying $0 is unprofessional and a disrespectful waste of time, but I'm not convinced it's actually predatory or abusive.

If someone thinks they'll get more than $their_cost in promotion value, they'll do it. If not, they won't.

If no one does, the production company is going to waste a lot of time and burn their reputation trying to avoid what's probably a relatively small expense compared to the budget of their show.

It would be even worse if someone wrote an article about it.. oops.
Not to be critical but this doesn't seem to be much different than a drop down menu.

The implementation seems to be missing the point of the cli, scripting. If there is not a primitive way to combine and chain commands and reduce repetition, then this doesn't look like enough by itself to sway a userbase.
I’m shocked Sony still made SLRs - if I was going to get another camera of that style it would have been a Sony full frame mirrorless.
not sure that's going to work, because nuclear requires some massive concrete insulation bubbles. Also the cooling is wildly different, nuclear power plants are built on large bodies of water, If there isn't one, sometimes they built a large dammed lake to have enough water to cool down the reactors in case of an emergency.

Instead, there are coal-> gas and coal->biomass retrofits. Gas works because the installations are TINY compared to coal. Look at Drax, this plan would have replaced the entire capacity of the coal plant. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jan/30/uk-sued-...

(I think the plan was dropped eventually).

Nuclear to solar I think there is Chernobyl as an example.

New nuclear is a challenge right now, because they're not standardized and the costs and timings are insane. Also, everyone wants nuclear, unless it's in their county. I think we have a good chance of seeing factory produced small nuclear reactors that are easier, cheaper and faster to install than what we have now.
Oh god, thanks you, something at least. That's gonna save us all.
