1. A company is a place of business and every company exists to create a product or a service and make enough money in order to produce more products or a better service.

2. I am a professional and I offer my skills, experience and expertise in exchange for money. I might really like the job or not at all, makes no difference because work is to be done.

3. I am not interested in playing a social justice hero or promoting politics of current world affairs at my workplace, nor am I interested in a culture, mentality or values. If I wanted to join a cult I'd join one where they have drugs and naked ladies, not your company.

I am getting sick of people pretending to try and change the world through their jobs when they only speak up as long as their jobs are secure. I see this often in my company that is trying really hard to be as liberal as possible while burning investor money where people keep raising political questions such as doing business with China not understanding that their roles will likely be cut if the company loses those Chinese contracts. Goes without saying topics regarding sex and sexual orientation are always hot, but others such as the Palestinian genocide are frown upon. You can't be selectively X, that just makes you a hypocrite.

I am currently looking for a new job because I refuse to work in an environment where people are more preoccupied with non-work related problems than they are with the actual work itself. We all have interest in moral issues as individuals, but there is a time and place to discuss those issues. A workplace is not it. For the same reason I am removing myself from LinkedIn.

If what you’re doing isn’t research it isn’t technically philosophy. The more applied a field is, the less philosophical it is, because a general “way” of doing things has been established. That’s why you can have an entire undergraduate about “solved problems”, and only after that do you start advancing the field by tackling unsolved problems.

Hi, thanks for the advice!

How would you balance maintaining an open source presence with maintaining a technological advantage based on our ML techniques in the space? We've put a lot of effort into finding modelling approaches that work in the high-noise, heavy-tailed, limited data environment, so we feel we can't just give them away.

P.S. Yeah, its the best! And for some reason it seems to attract all the nerds :)

‘Tank man China’ returns the image on DDG as does bing (Although not the first result). I think you are correct that this could be on Microsoft.

DDG should seriously consider the provider if there is going to be political censorship from their sources.
But there's lots of truth in it. We thought a long time before having one kid. It doesn't make me happy to bring a kid in a world of state-surveillance, capitalism-surveillance, worldwide resource depletion and ever growing amount (at an alarming rate) of rules and laws.

We don't have high hope and I'm raising my kid telling him and preparing him for a world that may not be as easy as my boomers parent generation had it.

We still have some hope that said and I believe some places on earth shall be better than others. So I'm raising my kid in english so that at least it should be easier to live an expat life (like I do).

And I gotta say: when the states fuck up too much, that's the ultimate resistance. The last stand: saying "screw that, I'm not making kids in this broken state". I cannot fault these people.
I mean I just don’t like the practice. Get some originality.

You and me both. I ran OS-9 on my CoCo 1 in 64Kb RAM... sometime in '84 - '85. Could not do a lot, but it gave me a bit of grounding when I was dropped into SCO Unix in the late 80's.
Based on other comments here, it appears this is not as clear as I thought. I can see it being used either way, but definitely understand that in the “pre-virtual-machine” era, it could be used this way.
Walls impede drainage. And even if that's accounted for, it can sink and become a ditch.

The library of the university to which I went used to have one or two books out of X which wouldn't be available for check out, only for reading on site.

Sure, if a bunch of random people show up and take them all at the same time, which prevents actual students from using them, it may be a problem. In practice, I don't remember ever having this issue.

Access to the library was free for all, you didn't have to be a student or anything.

UFO Report: Pentagon finds no evidence of aliens, doesn't rule it out
Apple has literally said, under oath, that they do not track App Store profitability (as, I assume, a separate entity from their much larger "Services" slush fund). [1]

Well, we can argue until we go blue about how maybe he's lying, or twisting words, or how the App Store alone represents a business larger than many Fortune 500 companies and its irresponsible/incompetent of them to not track it. Reality is probably a little of all of the above. But it speaks to how insane these conversations are; magical incantations of deductions and inferences to arrive at seemingly significant percentages and magnitudes which have no basis in reality.

Here's a statement I'll agree with: "An application distributed on iOS is likely to return higher per-install revenue than the same application distributed on Android." But if you read that, and believe for a second that it should inform some broader policy or even application development decision making, then we're on completely different pages.

Show HN: Create playlists where the songs spell out a specific word or sentences
Hi All,

I like to make websites with the Spotify API to interact with my music in silly ways. If you have a Spotify account give it a try!

How it works

When you log into the site using Spotify, I load all your Liked Songs from your account and categorize them alphabetically. From there I simply pop elements from the letter arrays as needed to spell out the words.

I have data mined 20,000~ of the top songs on Spotify to have a fallback dictionary of songs so that anyone with an account can at least create something.

Everything is done client side in the browser and I do not collect any information whatsoever. Just a little side project.

Other Spotify Apps

SpotifyTelevision - 2018 -
https://immannino.github.io/SpotifyTelevsion - Easily stream the music videos for your Spotify Liked Songs & Playlists

Tv-Lite - 2020 - https://tv-lite.spaghet.me - Similar to above, but lets you control your music through Spotify, and will find the music video and seek to the appropriate part of the video as you're listening to the song.
Curious, what metric would you use to determine if a group of people are lazy?
Authors use some vague and unconvincing arguments about deficiencies of well established tool (shell) in academic research to boost relevance of their obscure research (formal methods and performance of shell regarding multiprocessing).

Unlikely. He has been too strongly associated with polarized politics and numerous conspiracy theories about his motives and behaviour.
Do these people need to have Stripe accounts? I guess that’s where I was blocked, we’d been hoping to make it easy for people to accept payments by not having them sign up for other services and transfer directly to their bank accounts but this does provide greater flexibility on our end. Paypal is something that individuals and companies are used to having accounts for, but Stripe feels like a 'company' type thing, but it's not a big ask to have users sign up to receive payments.

If your goal is the softest and greenest grass in the neighborhood then yeah, it requires a lot of work and resources.

If your goal is just to prevent bare dirt for erosion purposes then grass is pretty easy to maintain, even with moderate traffic like running children. Just cut it back every week or two and the lawn will more or less take care of itself.

> On a much larger scale, corporate drones like those seen in “The Office” will lose their jobs to people in Argentina or the Philippines.

It's not going to be so dramatic. What will happen for sure is that groups will start hiring in lower cost countries and hire less in the US. That offshoring trend has been going on for 2 decades+.

The big issues with offshoring are culture and timezone, and the first can be rectified to some measure, but the 2nd can only be mitigated (could be a benefit for support centers, etc).

That Wyoming posting will be for folks who have decided that maybe pulling $2-300k instead of $600k may be an acceptable loss for an ongoing lifestyle.
Do you have any advice for R users on making the transition? Even though I am primarily an R user, these days I have been using a fair amount of JS in my work, and I'm not sure how I can get to the "next level" in my programming that your alluding to. It seems like most of the tutorials are either too rudimentary or way over my head (like the three step drawing meme).

Maybe it makes sense for someone in my position to just go bite the bullet and go through the Eloquent JavaScript even though I feel like I already have a fair grasp of the content? Or learn some key principles of Software Engineering?

I actually love the tab design, which is odd, because I hate anything new. What I did NOT like is the vertical spacing, which stank of the superfluous header bars from the late 90s/early 2000s.

I applied a browser CSS change to fix it, and now I think it's great.

They should take that wage and job if they don’t have one. Beggars can’t be choosers.

At the same time they need to get out of that situation as soon as possible.

It’s one thing to look for a job and not find anything - it’s quite another to not have a job for years because the pay/job isn’t what you like and you are burdening the taxpayer in the meantime.

Instacart is a threat to WalMart? That's a surprise. I had no idea Instacart was that big. I think of them as a gig-economy delivery service that delivers only 80% of what you order.

The whole business of sending people to do shopping in retail stores seems a temporary business until the grocery industry gets fulfillment figured out. It's like a throwback to the early days of Internet commerce, when the web site didn't talk to the inventory system, so many orders could not be fulfilled properly.

It is more nuanced than that you think. It is not coming from the extreme mental illness. One of the major factor that led to his death is the federal prosecutor. This POS prosecutor made Aaron to believe that Aaron absolutely have no way out (which not true but this POS don't even care). This prosecutor lead so hard on Aaron and the outcome is Aaron's passing.

That prosecutor should be in jail for pushing Aaron to the edge.

Interesting, the first 4 results are pictures of tanks, which ddg is currently (for me) showing for an image search for "tank man"

The 5th result is a picture of Chinese police on segways in modernish day Tianamen square

"China still gets annoyed with images showing the famous ...markets.businessinsider.com"

but that doesn't show up on "tank man" alone.

The actual famous image is result 10 and 11 (slight difference, 10 has 4 tanks, 11 taken from a different angle and presumably a little earlier has 3)
I didn't think I would like the new tab layout but after using it for a few days, it doesn't bug me one bit and I think I may actually prefer it.

I don't know what theme the OP is using, but the default dark theme's active tab color is noticeably lighter than any other element in the chrome without any changes. EDIT: I see now. They're using one of the custom Firefox Color themes. I haven't really dug into those; usually the default dark theme is good enough for me.

It's easy to navigate, provides more information in some cases (I really like the second line of smaller text indicating things like a video playing or autoplay being blocked), and I don't feel like anything of value was lost, just reorganized a bit.

I also prefer the Container color bars at the top than at the bottom where they used to be as it gives them more prominence. The only thing I would probably change is I prefer the "+" button to be static on the right hand side. But that's minor and if I truly cared enough, probably super easy to fix in the userChrome.css.

Note: This is mostly on macOS, which is what I spend most of the day running at work. My experience on my Windows PC at home has been mostly the same, though.

I have no idea how to get Dang's attention, but can we talk about why this thread is flagged? How is this not blatant censorship? Tons of people are NOT seeing this thread, it was on the front page before it got flagged, obviously the intention of whoever flagged it.
Let's assume you've studied the well-known computer science tricks like divide and conquer, greedy algorithms, and the various tree searches, and that's insufficient, even after specializing for your reduced domain. (These will get you 90% of the way there 90% of the time, and usually that's good enough. Sometimes it's not.)

For integer tricks like this, you'll want to look at number theory. Modular equivalence is particularly useful, but lots of things in that space are useful. However, there are a lot of other tricks that rely on geometric sequences, or geometry themselves, and other higher maths -- a lot of advances like this are simply connecting random theorum a to situation b, if you can envision the situation in the correct space.

Considering the Chinese have hacked the Office of Personnel Management, were behind the Solar Winds hack despite popular government disinformation saying Russia did it, and have been aggressively targeting individuals who are minors with influence operations using Tik Tok, they shouldn’t even be allowed on the global Internet at all.
All of my favorite products are completely unopinionated. Of course, aligning yourself with a specific audience will move units, but it won't make your product any better or worse. The only way you can actually improve your product is by becoming less opinionated and listening to the community who uses your product. Oftentimes their insight will be much more valuable than just "being opinionated".

I'm not aware of it being illegal to use IQ as criteria in hiring in the USA, do you have a source for that?

I'm sure the reason it's not done is because it would be an extremely bad predictor of success in a job, not because it isn't legal.
Those tend to be primarily web development roles (i.e HTML/CSS) or doing some basic scripting not for "full stack" devs creating complex web applications.

I do agree though that somebody wanting to enter a software development role might as well skip the CS degree and learn the basics to enter these 'entry level' dev jobs while learning the more complex stuff in parallel to level up
An extension of the fixed layout would be the anchor+margin layout commonly used for game UIs, where each rect is defined by two opposing corners, each of those's axes defined as a % position within its parent, plus a fixed amount of pixels margin.

In this regime, centering a 100px*50px element would be to make TopLeft=(50%-50px, 50%-25px) BottomRight=(50%+50px, 50%+25px)

Dealing with files and directories? Best option.
Dealing with calling multiple other tools written in different languages and/or network calls, and combine, store and do some basic operations on the data? Best option.

It's a job control language after all.

The pipes and redirects, and the instant access to the file system is also very powerful.

Sure it could/should be improved massively, but I'd say it's still the best tool for a significant amount of pretty common use cases, it doesn't just suck at everything.

I inherited a application for grants tracking database last year and the grants themselves do not have a location. There are persons and institutions associated with each Application/Grant, and each of those has a location.

Interestingly, the application is designed for a very specific workflow, audit and review as part of the intake, but has no facilities for auditing after the fact. The data and relationships exist and there is a wealth of information in the database including known conflicts of interest but there's no easy way to query or browse this data from the application unless you're reviewing a specific grant or application.

For example:

The application doesn't allow you to search for persons by location and doesn't show you grants associated with persons. Rather you can only see persons associated with grants.

You can search for institution by address but again, it doesn't show you grants associated with an institution.

These interfaces were designed to just update Persons or Institutions when changes occur. They weren't intended as a way to back into a Grant or Application.
I agree with this, but I'd add that if you have already trusted Amazon enough to purchase and run 24/7 with full access to your home network their remotely controlled and configured internet microphone, drawing the line at this feature seems a little odd to me.

If you own an Echo device and used it prior to this feature you had already granted a large degree (relative to this feature) of trust to Amazon anyway. It reminds me a little of people who swear they will never use an Echo device due to concerns about eavesdropping but happily carry an internet microphone equiped smartphone everywhere.

I'm one of those people who still remembers Logo as the turtle graphics introduction to computers for children thing.

Are there large, commercial applications running on Logo these days, or is it a hobby language? Can you provide a brief summary of the status of Logo today?
Agreed. My kids learned MicroWorlds Logo in elementary school from LCSI (Logo Computer Systems Inc). They definitely enjoyed the experience and it served a good preparation for learning other languages as they got older.
