why do we need a poll when we have the actual market mechanism? If people got no satisfaction out of the players talking about their games surely we'd have more tournaments exactly like that.

Game interviews are common across virtually all sports because it personalizes the player and ads some context to a game.
Would you seriously give your entire photo library to another third party just to save some time?

I was expecting to see semi-outrageous, border line unjustifiable executive salaries after reading this comment and clicking on the direct link below.

I guess there's a chance that executive compensation went up significantly after 2018, but nothing I saw looks out of place for an organization as large as Wikipedia. ~300k for a San Fransisco-based CEO and an average salary of ~120k for all employees employees seems fairly reasonable to me.
Damn yes, ahah I went to the Bank of Kurdistan to get it back… a long story… (that I don’t remember well)

How did you find getting around outside the cities (or between them)? Did you hire a car, or a driver, or was there good enough public transport?
True, but remember that the orbits above LEO are also full of junk that will eventually be coming down through LEO before deorbiting. So despite the short lifetime of debris there it'll still be a long-term problem in this orbit as there'll be new junk even if we would stop orbiting stuff.

There'll be crap coming down for thousands of years, including some nasty cold war relics like nuclear reactor cores.
They also didn't actually produce anything that can't be implemented better without "the blockchain". Even with the news like these:

https://theintercept.com/2021/03/24/andrew-cuomo-covid-ibm-b...

"Blockchains are typically public, their contents transparent to anyone with an internet connection, but the one behind Excelsior Pass will be private, meaning only parties sanctioned by IBM will be able to check the contents."

But the blockchain is the protocol for updating the information where other players aren't trusted. As soon as any "party" can be "sanctioned to be able" there's just no need for blockchain at all. It's just selling of snake oil, and yes, IBM is indeed doing it.

Now who'd expect that? The technology company uses the hyped technologies to sell their services and products, even if the said technologies don't make the products any better?
The root cause is that intelligent, educated people misunderestimate the reactionary idea among the masses that their ignorance is just as, or more, valid.

Revolutions are not won by people who are smart at facts but by people who are smart at manipulating ignorance.
You don't say it explicitly, but this comment is toeing close to the sentiments of people who believe that WMF is responsible for the generating the content that appears on Wikipedia (instead of the legions of unpaid volunteer editors—the wiki part of the thing).

Even for a well-informed person who understands that's not how Wikipedia works, your comment does no favors for the people who are already walking around with the idea in their head that it does, nor does it help the people who have to correct this (too frequently) mistaken belief. And after ruling out that that's what you meant, it's not clear what your comments did mean.
Yes. And more. At my previous company, we were close to the CNIL (French GDPR watchdog) because we hosted medical data.
Auth and other technically important cookies (like a shopping cart) are usefull so GDPR don't apply.

Wouldn't it be even worse if a landmine could just come to you at any time and "decide" to take out it's target and everything that surrounds it? Maybe the algorithm was tripped and you're a "good enough" match, wherever you may be, even in your safe zone. There's no "keep out" sign, no safety because someone else already checked or if you keep to the main road, no removing the threat. They need no preparation, they will actively seek their target from as far away as possible. They can cover more ground than mines ever could and they won't just take out the target but also the ones around it. And all this under the control of an algorithm.

This is the terror element. People will have to worry about getting blown up anytime, anywhere. That's why we keep making weapons with more range and better targeting, because waiting for the target to come to the weapon just wasn't horrific or effective enough.

Sure, landmines are really bad but we're inching closer to things that surpass landmine horrors in every way and makes them seem like the lesser evil. Because if there's one thing that's bad, it's taking an already bad thing and augmenting it. And that should really scare you.
The main issue with doing this is the potential to damage your grinder. Your arm has a built in torque limiter, has a feedback loop and only operates at a low speed. If you want to do this with a drill I would recommend one with a torque limiter and a variable speed so you can use it at a low speed.

There are also other niceties that proper electric grinders give you.
My life goal was to attend one of these elite universities. I desired to work at companies such as Google or Apple.

After graduating from the Czech Technical University I realized that

1. I am much less special then I thought

2. There is much more hard working focused average people then the few talented superstars, both usually achieving the same

3. Surprisingly many of the exceptionally smart people in my social bubble, some of them graduated from the best universities in the world, "left the system" and focus on doing creative small thing's in their everyday life, instead of pursuing their parents dreams

4. Work, life, and social structure is extremely unfair

5. I will do my best to teach my kinds to strive for understanding, a love for beauty and a complexity of the world, instead of focusing on grades and stuff

6. The two guys I knew, who attended Oxf. and Camb. were both fired because they were more talk then action. Not a representative sample though. Just ruining my illusion.
I will never call a corporation benevolent, but they certainly are developer friendly right now. Opening the source of many of their frameworks and tools have aided us in debugging many times. It's also possible to get in contact with their developers directly through github.

I don't really feel one way or another regarding their Github purchase. If not Microsoft, then someone else. Right now Microsoft seems like a less bad owner, but time will tell.

What makes you think the VSCode team has enough autonomy that this kind of crap won't leak in when some enterprising product manager sees a ripe user-base available to exploit to improve their KPI's?

Also VSCode is already set up to enable this type of garbage. The "recommended extensions" popup is a great vector for getting programmers to use the tools MS decides are best for them, and the features for working on remote codebases are great for blurring the lines between a codebase that you actually control, and toolchains which depend on an Azure server somewhere in the middle.

One interesting point: it seems that the so-called cookie law and the GDPR are more connected than I initially thought.

Under the "old" cookie law, I offer no cookie rejection change for my own (personal, non-commercial, no-advertising) blog, I just inform my visitors of the cookies I set.

Now I'm not sure whether I'm subject to the GDPR and if I should change something on my website.

The games may be bad (I don't know) but honestly at least the currency is being used for something. I personally disagree with in app purchases because it leads to game design where the cash shop becomes the solution to all the pre designed problems but criticizing game design isn't the same thing as criticizing cryptocurrencies.
I need to confirm this, but it looks like they're adding a 5-second delay to the server response time if the User-Agent is a browser they don't like. (Changed the user-agent to Firefox and the delay immediately went away.)
I haven't read the book, but have often heard that trope - did he write about actual research into the topic?

I ask because in the fields I'm familiar with many innovative approaches are actually university spin-offs.

Edit: The point of this beautiful article, "a society that is blind to the potential of so many of its young people, is a wasteful, unfair and ineffective society" is a sad truth, but in my opinion the answer is openening the institution up, not abolishing it. Those people didn't learn middle class behaviour in universities, they were socialized with it since birth. Good, widely available public education is an effective means to level out this class-based inequality.
Is it really E2EE if you could compromise the server to serve a compromised web-app? Same issue with ProtonMail.
I think Google showing Chrome pop ups to users on the latest Firefox or chrome based edge is anticompetitive but we aren’t talking the law here. When we install something like Adobe Flash and it installed Google Chrome, I would be angry at Adobe Flash, not at Google.

On the Apple side, I find the “free” (continues as paid) Apple TV+ nagware on settings menu is much more offensive than the nagware on Apple Music.

The OS showing ads is worse than apps showing ads.
What are the “other projects” you are referring to?
Sure. I remember that vote, it was considered a joke by the media at the time, I think given the mess we’re in I’d say a move to all votes counting would be much better even if this has its own issues.

I've had this pop-up during a full-screen game OVER top of it. I actually had to alt-tab out of the game to close it because there was no other way to.

I've also had Windows stop me on boot recently to "finish setting up my PC" which was just to ask me to switch to Edge and Bing and to subscribe to Office 365...
I welcome this. Because it might cannibalize some users who might gravitate away from Google to a lesser evil. I also find the Microsoft pop ups less annoying in number and invasiveness compared to iOS

> the world of the possibility to view the best possible demonstration of the sport.

Why do you think this is what people want? Or, if you don't think that's what people want, who would pay elite athletes to do something people don't want to watch?

If people really wanted to see the best possible demonstration of the sport, without caring for simply having entertainment, it would be easy to set up alternative tournaments that do just that, and over time they would become the main tournaments... but that's not what is happening, and it will never happen, likely... because sport is simple entertainment... if you're fanatical about sports, you might have lost track of that.

But ask yourself: what value is there in achieving best possible performance in a sport if people are not willing to watch it and feel entertained, emotional about that?

If there were a player so good that he/she could win every match by acing every point (i.e. achieving optimal performance) would anyone want to watch matches anymore? To me , the answer is definitely "no", and the reason is that watching that would be extremely boring. It would not be entertaining in any way, despite being the best demonstration of the sport possible.

If you disagree this is the best possible demonstration of the sport because it doesn't have a fight component to it, it doesn't have something that makes the game unpredictable and that feeling that the game could go either way at any point, then what you want is NOT the best possible demonstration of the sport, you want ENTERTAINMENT!
Not sure how to put it....

You can see this play out in India where most large brick and mortar retailers offer to match the online prices that amazon charges (for most products).

Amazon has the same bully-ish behavior in India through its own sellers. I dealt with one of these - cloudtail - to list our products online. (There are at least two such "preferred" entities). As a pre-requisite for listing, they force you into selling your products to cloudtail at a much deeper discount than any of our other offline sellers get. And if you are "caught" selling the product cheaper than amazon anywhere they will ship all unsold inventory back and charge you a penalty. We eventually chose not to sell on amazon and set up our own online storefront, fulfilled by our existing offline sellers.
>They are supporting open source, no?

Yes, definitely they are. But with strings attached, in the form of WSL.

I'm patiently waiting for the day when they will announce that some big software/service from them (Office? GUI? Outlook?) will be finally integrated into Linux, but sadly it has to be WSL to work properly/faster/better/with support, that is, Windows, and not the real thing.
The next big Linux distribution, the one that every business will take as the standard to make their products (and drivers!) compatible will carry the Microsoft brand. Microsoft attempted to kill Linux in the past, and failed spectacularly, so they're now aiming at controlling it by becoming a Linux vendor, possibly the biggest one.

One doesn't become Platinum Member at the Linux Foundation just for the lulz, especially when it costs about $500000 per year.

My comment was written from seeing that experiment but also implemented an experiment for a React style declarative API over Win32 earlier and realizing how bad developer ergonomics became together with realizing doing it how close it is to an imgui flow.

Still the fact is that this is the only one I know of and in general accessibility hasn't been a big concern so far (And the imgui name isn't an accident considering the history).

Anyhow considering how laborious "modern" API's like UWP is, how badly declarative API's continue to map to C++ and the frequency at which gamedev rooted developers are asking for how to do "native UI"'s in C++ the time is definitely ripe for a serious one to emerge, the question is though if there will be one with enough momentum to become truly useful or if we'll end up with a bunch of small hacks that kinda covers some bases but don't end up being a good option for the majority.
Because the nature of the base product being open source is that the VSCodium devs can patch out any sufficiently bad behaviour, and the risk of this becoming a fork should serve to discourage this behaviour in the first place.
e.g. direct flight VIE-EBL(mainly due Austrian to involvement in the oil business in the region) or Istanbul-EBL is served regularly.

> pay its necessary staff less than competitive wages

My opinion is that basically no-one needs to have an income above a couple of times median in the country they're in [it's hard to normalise across countries]. Just because CEOs, etc., think they're worth $millions doesn't mean that charitable organisations should adopt that model.

You're panhandling effectively, you beg people to give money but you already have it, you're only distributing it to wealthy people instead of favouring the aims of your charity.

Sure, pay your staff for a median income in your/their country; much higher in a poor or developing country is fine. But I don't donate to any charity that thinks one person needs to be paid >£120k (that's >4x median graduate wage in UK). Some people are awesome at what they do, but they're using the same proportion of their lives to do it as the people who are awesome and getting paid a pittance, it's wrong to beg people and then fritter it away on luxuries for a limited set of staff.

If a person wants to beg for money for themselves then they can, "I have an income of >$500,000 per year and work $days a week for $charity, please pay me money", sure, but don't hide that support of someone's ludicrously income (compared to ordinary people, not SV programmers) by fronting it through a charity.
Tech lead vs manager.
A manager isn’t managing tech. It’s people and process.
Classic HN. I am not saying they shouldn’t have domain knowledge. That would be silly wouldn’t it. You know, context and all that.

They need to build and facilitate a team to be run by itself and arbitrate on difficult decisions, sell team, etc, etc.

Basically. Except there were 3 other tech leads in that area. They didn't know that specific piece of functionality, but they could be given the new work to take stuff off that team's plate to make time for documentation. The leadership in that area didnt really care about anything other than delivering fast. Testing? Eh... Security issues? They're not that big of a deal - do them on an above and beyond basis (contrary to enterprise policy). On call documentation? Not even going to try to create it. I mean really, all you have to do is create a knowledge document out of the SNOW incident ticket. Then the next time it happens there will be a link to the steps taken. But no.
As someone who worked in a sandwich shop to survive while going to college($7.5/hr, 30 hrs/week), I can't imagine the universe some people live in where an income of $375,000 doesn't seem sky high. It's like there is a section of people who live in a different world.

I understand that it isn't much for an executive, but then that stuns me even more.

Edit: median US salary is around $70k. This executive's pay is over 5x median income. Those who say it's not a lot are disconnected from the way that most people in the country and the world live.

#3 and #5 are by-products of extreme privilege. Take your average bootcamper, they usually rack up a huge bill majoring in something in college (often a literal dream major), then somehow field a 17k check to just waltz over to tech when they need an office job finally.

Not everyone can do this. You have to be really lucky to play games like that and still be fine.

The same goes for ‘going off to start my own food truck’. These options don’t exist for people that can only afford one solid go at this.
You are talking about a bad manager. Not a good one.
An Efficient Training Approach for Large Scale Face Recognition
"Wealth leads to education". This is how it used to be. The "Liberal" Arts were named so as the sort of people who studied them had freedom from normal labour.

Then came the push in the 80s to 00s to get more working class kids into higher education, so they could have the same opportunities as upper class folk, thinking education leads to wealth. Instead we've just ended up with a bunch of working class kids graduating to become baristas.

Education doesn't lead to real wealth. University educated higher professionals still go back to their middle class home to open a carton of orange juice.

Having started a business recently, I've realised how much I didn't need anything I learned at uni to do this.

Right to Privacy - specifically, the Right to Be Forgotten ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_be_forgotten ) - is also very important here.
