No doubt that's true but if you're saying something specific about HN, I'd like to know what it is. Also, the word 'censorship' is too vague now. People just use it about whatever they disagree with. So if you have a specific question, it would also be good to use more precise language.

You guys need to realize that you have a trump card (can I say that? or too soon?) that users of other platforms don't have: direct access to the people running the platform, who are willing to answer any question about it.

No. If you have 500 tabs open in any program, chances are the one you're interested in is not in view right in front of you just a single click away. There's, at a guess, a 95 percent chance[1] you'll have to scroll around and look for it. And if you're going to have to do that anyway, you can just as well do it in the browser history as among open tabs.

That isn't the reason. It's that the leadership training and experience of someone who has been placed in command of a large military unit is roughly equivalent to the demands placed on a corporate executive. In many ways, we're perfect targets, not just because of the leadership training and experience, but the extreme devotion to mission and personal sacrifice. Where else are you going to find people who regularly worked 20 hour days 7 days a week for up to 15 months in a foreign country? No matter how much you ask of an employee, you can't possibly ask more than the military did. Every time I read about Amazon employees pissing in bottles, I can't help but think of how many times I did just that when I was commanding tank crews. Working yourself to death and never taking a break is just an ordinary day in the service.

Where we struggle is in what others have identified in this thread. As a military leader, you're used to having complete control of your subordinates. You can confine them and in some cases execute them for not following orders. It takes some getting used to being in a situation where your reports have personal liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and you have to follow labor laws and what not. I've seen a lot of former military officers struggle with this. My wife's ex boss (and part of the reason he is now an ex boss) reported a hospitalization incident all the way up his chain of command, seemingly unaware of the existence of HIPAA. Soldiers don't have privacy rights, but ordinary citizens do.
You’re well aware I’m not talking about opening your neighbor’s mail, or any other "crimes" that are still on the books but never prosecuted. When I refer to the federal crimes that are committed daily by crypto enthusiasts, I’m talking about blatant tax evasion that makes the Panama Papers look like child’s play. In a sane world, none of it would be possible. Soon enough.

It's good to remember that image sensor pixels only have one colour anyway (they are each either G, R or B). 67% of colour information is made up right from the start before your even encode anything. Another reason why 4:2:0 sampling may not be as bad as it sounds.
But how can you do that unless you are saying "map this .foo.com to resolver A, and map .bar.com to resolver B".

You have an option to install dnsmasq or whatever resolver you want for that very unusual use case without installing tons of more bloated demons on machines that simply don't need it. 99% of linux machines are not laptops connecting to multiple networks with private DNS servers, they have static network configurations, or a single network connection with dhcp. Of the rest, most are laptops, and sure you want some form of gui selection to choose your wireless network, and maybe even set up your vpns, but that's such a rare case.

Also remember that private DNS servers are on the way out now on a desktop, with DoH being embedded at the browser layer, so this tiny use case will shrink even more.

by all means have a "yum install dns-multipathd" or whatever as a resolver to solve this problem on the 1 in a thousand machines it helps on, but why have any software installed and listening on port 53 by default? Seems a needless security risk to me

Sorry but this comment is so out of touch with reality.

.NET is huge in enterprise. There are easily billion plus distinct lines of .NET (C# or VB) code running on companies we don't even know the name of.

Now with .NET Core, .NET Foundation and the push for open sourcing, the rate of new C# lines written per day is probably increasing even more.

C# jobs are plenty. Much more than some hyped languages around here. And it shows no sign of slowing down.

By the way, C# is no longer tightly associated with Windows for a few years already. It's common for C# code written today to empower a microservices fleet deployed over a large kubernetes infrastructure.

Ask HN: Company offering me a lowball salary
Hey everyone,
I am the OP from "Ask HN: Negotiating Salary"
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27332305 which got traction this week.

This is a follow up post to let you guys know what happened after.
So, yesterday they called a meeting with me and gave me an offer of $20/hr (my assumption was atleast $30/hr but expectation was $40/hr - checkout the above link for reference).

To be honest, I was a bit surprised and kind of frustrated by their offer. I explained them that they were giving me half of my original expectation and that I was surprised by it. They responded that they offered this number given my current skills and the value I would bring to the company.

The position that I applied for was Sr. Frontend dev but the offer letter says the position would be "Frontend Developer". I see that they are offering me a mid level position instead of the original one. Moreover, since I made the blunder of revealing my current earning that gave them the leverage to offer $20/hr. I bought some time from them and would give my response on Tuesday.

Now since I am from South Asia, $20/hr is still a handsome amount given the local market but the real problem is their tech stack. Their product is pretty big and is using some outdated stack such as jQuery on the frontend. There would be a lot of work for me in jquery, but I think working in jquery (which is soon going to be obsolete) would cause a lot of damage to me technically.

So, this is the how the current situation looks like. Since I am not motivated to work on an old stack at such a low rate, I was thinking that I should try to negotiate a number between $30-40/hr. If it goes successfully I would be able to make good money in a couple of months then try finding a reactjs job.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
Good for YC. I don't understand why someone would assume that publicly causing drama for the company that is supporting them would be tolerated.

People think that because some opinion of theirs is justified, all consequences related to any public behavior based of that opinion should be nullified. Well, reality seems to frequently think otherwise.
To be fair, the CCP seems to put forth a fair amount of effort doing things that are prime targets for widespread criticism.
Paradoxically, as long as all information regarding the Tiananmen massacre in 1989 is being censored, there are people whose job it is to not forget to forget it. This means they'll have to remember to hide this sensitive information.
So in a way, by taking so much effort to hide this information, China (and all countries and companies sucking up to it) are keeping this information alive. And (hopefully) eventually, these people will ask themself why it is necessary to hide it.
I'm western, but almost all of my childhood and early/mid teens was spent in Asia. I think growing up seeing all the variety of odd and stinky things made me much more willing to try; they were having it, so _I want it_.

I wonder how much environment shapes how open one will be to food. Most picky eaters I've met come from places with cultures of TV-centric dinners (America, Australia, UK) opposed to family-centric ones (Japan, Germany, Singapore), which makes me wonder if there's a link or just coincidence in experience.
Nice to see that everyone involved are definitely fully grown adults.

I don't think DDG is trying to censor results (nor that the parent post is suggesting that), I think they're inheriting censorship from their upstream sources, which aren't the same for different search types (web, images, news, etc.). Interestingly, it seems that even starting to type the "man" in "tank man" will result in no suggestions at all, even though the web results seem reasonable.
This reminds me of a project that I did in my university. It was a compiler of my programming language similar to C straight to x86 assembly. It had typechecking, basic primitive types, local and global variables, arrays and function calls. My professor recommended Haskell saying that it'll make the job easier for me, and he was right. The thing basically worked as soon as I got it to compile. I remember that another student used Java for the project, and he ended up with a 10x larger codebase, riddled with bugs.

The code is still on my github. I recently took a look at it and I was surprised how readable it was. It's a shame that in my professional career I didn't get the chance to use neither Haskell nor any of the PL skills that I picked up in uni, because I really had fun with that project. Though maybe that's for the best. If you have to do it for work, you sometimes end up hating it.

I'm not going to necessarily trust that reddit comment, especially when I know there were plenty instances of people lying about eligibility, and I think it is largely unlikely that most YC founders would have been eligible for this mobile clinic in west Oakland in mid-March.
Snitches get stitches.

I’d immediately sack anyone leaking private conversations like this. This isn’t whistle blowing. It’s violating the norms of communication like sharing things said in confidence as gossip.
This was a rough release cycle for downstream users of LLVM. During testing of the release candidates, we found and reported 7 regressions from LLVM 11. However, despite having reproducible regressions reported as release blockers, the LLVM project tagged release 12.0.0. Not only were there open regressions at this time, but the 12.0.0 tag did not even tag the tip of the release/12.x branch - so there were fixes already committed into the release branch that did not make it into the tag.

I don't follow LLVM development. Is this normal for the project?
And it’s why YC doesn’t have the reputation it once did. Letting Sam bro up the institution wasn’t the best decision in hindsight as this incident demonstrates.

You have no expectation of privacy if you announce (let alone advocate for, or instruct how-to) behaviour against public health policy _during_a_pandemic_.

The contrast with people who have been working hard to match people with appointments couldn't be more stark.
Well large companies are already more powerful than governments in certain aspects. Google and Facebook (and plenty more I’m sure) blatantly ignore the GDPR for example - they only pretend to be compliant (annoying users in the process) but are very far from it in reality.
JPEG2000 can be more of a data container than an image format. While the downsides are many, there are a few upsides to JPEG2000. Greater bit depth is useful when storing DNs. More than three channels is useful when storing multi-spectral images. Internal tiling is useful when range reading specific parts of an image (obvs more useful when working with very large images). These specifically make JPEG2000 more useful than PNG when working in certain domains. Satellite imagery is one such domain.
I live in Oakland. This incident seems to be back in early March. Back then the large vaccination sites were all listed on myturn.ca.gov (ie the Oakland Coliseum). They'd post new batches of appointments and they would be all booked really fast (within minutes or hours). But Curative was also running vaccinations sites in Oakland and Berkeley. They weren't listed on the myturn website, so people didn't know about them. They would post new appointments and they would be available for days, sometimes even available right up until the appointment time. This was during the time when you had to be 65+ or have a health condition. In my social circle there were many ineligible people sending links around for the Curative appointments. There was definitely a mentality of "there are so many open appointments, they're just going to go unused." Whether that was true or not I don't know, but there was definitely a reality that certain vaccine sites that were not integrated into the central database had tons of openings, while people who didn't know how to find the secret links were left to reload myturn.ca.gov constantly hoping to find appointments. It was also public knowledge that nobody ever checked that you qualified with a valid medical condition. So getting a vaccine appointment at that time for a totally healthy 25 year old was as simple as someone texting you a link and clicking a single checkbox to say you had a medical condition. In my small social circle, I know of that happening at least a few times.
Per the tweet replies, Paul Biggar's company that YC funded has been defunct, so that likely makes YC's calculus to remove him easier (optics aside).
I'm guessing he broke an internal rule about talking of what's said in the founders forum, while the founder is breaking unrelated outside rules and being a dick, which isn't as fireable.
I agree with you, but this is where it's worth pointing out that really ugly conversations occur on Facebook between people who are clearly identifiable and in many cases acquaintances.
That looks really interesting, but I'm not sure it addresses OP's question. He seemed to be wanting to learn modern networking architecture, rather than low level networking programming.

I don't have a great reference, but I'd start with the Networking Section from the Unix/Linux System Administration Handbook: https://www.admin.com/ and follow the references from there.

Disbelief and suspicion. And fear of my mental health I guess: What's wrong with this person?

Maybe I just don't look or dress or sound like what one would expect. But there's context here too: At the time it's when these things are flagship features and on the booth monitors, and the booth staff are explaining the virtues of these features to everyone they meet. They are making it a big deal of it at the time, so maybe that makes it even more unbelievable that the inventor would wander by at that moment.

Now imagine what would happen if companies had a thanks page along with the other boilerplate pages (contact us, about us) on their website. If you're making millions from a thing, thank the original person for that thing. (I put thanks pages at the end of my slide decks, it's not hard.) These interactions would go a lot better -- "my name is on your company website" -- and could lead to fruitful discussions and collaboration instead of weird looks.

I first encountered bsdiff when working on reverse engineering Blizzard MPQs (their proprietary packaging format, long abandoned now in favour of other stuff). They started using it for mpq patches some time in … 2007 I want to say? I was 16, had just started to code.

10-ish years later, I'm doing other stuff but still working with Blizzard-related tooling sometimes. I was talking to a Battle.net engineer about their latest-and-greatest game update protocols. He tells me they're thinking of adopting this great thing called bsdiff for the next version. I giggled a bit.

Can we not read so much into a literal tweet? It's what, 240 characters max? We've written more words speculating on what happened than was originally said. It's a tweet.

Also would like to point out: I'm not defending anyone - my initial reactions largely agree with the sentiment here, but it's 240 or 180 characters at most. It's not a news story or a comprehensive view. Let's take a moment to step back and acknowledge that before we devolve into the wars we seem to be criticizing so strongly.

Lots of answers already, but let me contribute this little heuristic:

Radio waves, being EM radiation, are just light - like "visible light", except our eyes can't see it. There are some peculiarities related to wavelengths (particularly when they get very large, or close to the size of a regular surface pattern of an illuminated object), but to a good approximation, you can mentally replace "radio antenna" with "a lightbulb", and make correct determinations about how radio behaves.

In this case: much like you can't see much in water, compared to air, and a submerged flashlight also doesn't shine very far, a submerged phone has a hard time seeing signals, and its emissions don't travel far either.
In what way is RGB easier to manipulate? I get that it's the format we have to send to the monitor. Also, current tools may be geared more towards it. But on the face of it, I don't see why it is simpler. Do you have any good examples?

I can think of several image processing tasks which are more straightforward in a luma/chroma format. Maybe it's because I'm more used to working with the data in that form?
