Is Fidelity better than TD Amertirade? I didn't realize this was an option.
You make a great point.
I have a job, a good manager who's already told me I can work fully remote, or office or a mix of either. The company has decent work life balance and perks.
Sure, the work does get a bit boring sometimes and I could try for a bigger paycheck. So, unless the hiring company can offer a substantially large amount of money, flexibility and interesting work, I don't really care to go through their "dance monkey, dance" interview process.

It's like the tides have changed. I want to know what the hiring company is offering to make a switch attractive.
Banks have to offer exactly what you described as an option. I make sure to set it (they throw a bunch of scary text at you telling you that you might not be able to pay for things if you turn off "overdraft protection," which is what results in overdraft fees.
What were you responding to?
If you repay your card at the end of the billing period you do not incur interest. I ask this because if you were truthfully resetting to a $0 balance, your credit card was free. This is a common misconception.

My guess is that they tried to censor it in China, but affected everybody by accident.

Yes, it would be against the rules at the top of the Who Is Hiring threads.

We moderate HN less, not more, when YC or a YC startup is involved [1]. That's why the OP has been at #1 all day - normally we downweight indignation posts at least a little, to compensate for the default tendency to massively upvote them, but we haven't touched this thread in any way. I don't think we'd take that so far as to selectively turn off the Who Is Hiring rules, though. It would set a confusing precedent.

I think it's less about the review model, and more about the revenue model.

For safety purposes, presumably code executing apps could just be sandboxed and only interact with the file system in very limited ways and be pretty safe.

On the other hand, the App store is a revenue generating behemoth due to their internal monopoly. I think the reason Apple doesn't allow me to execute arbitrary code inside a container is that they're afraid of people circumventing their App store and distributing money makers like games and such without Apple collecting their cut of the revenue.

Not quite.

Stalinism/communism provided you a moral/ideological choice: to be part of it or to oppose it. Although sometimes people who were taking the side of stalinism and were active in whistleblowing and finger pointing in the name of ideological purity were later repressed themselves.

Nazism, on the other hand, gives you no choice if you are a jew. It is already decided for you.

But again, stalinism was awful. I am not going to defend it. I too have some far relatives who died because of it. My grandmother survived thanks to luck. But to compare communism or even stalinism to nazism is wrong.
That's a terrible comparison. You could use that logic for anything that failed.

I think you are onto something.

The feedback from radiologists I get, about companies like path.ai and similar -- is that they are 'evolutionary' dead-ends (meaning that they need to exist to show that something should not be done that way).

They lack innovativness not just in technology but also in the overall process.

That is, they are missing innovation around overall context in which pathologists or radiologists work. Process includes steps (and steps of steps), information sources, information feedback loops, etc.

Certainly, there is also a view, that the overall imaging process needs to evolve more (sort of like we need smart highways for safe self-driving cars)
I interpreted this much more literally. When the updated tweet about a code revert fixing it came out, it took me a second to figure out what was meant.

If it is bizarre for an intern then how does it look when "employee #1 of Code Academy" starts Repl.it right after working on the same kind of thing there? This smells like someone who saw himself in the intern and disliked it.
They do look similar, but are fundamentally different in that they are also URL fields. If thought under that light, the shape makes sense.

> Think Moore's Law, which is dead now.

Look again. Moore's law in terms of single threaded performance is dead. In literal terms of number of transistors on a wafer, it's still increasing exponentially, just slower. And in terms of what mattered when people cited Moore's law, the decrease in price/performance, it's still exponential, just slower and multi core.

It will end, as all exponential trends must end lest they consume the universe, but the end is not yet in sight. Recently chips have started to go multi chip and three dimensional. So even when we finally hit that scaling limit, we haven't quite reached the end of exponential progress.

No, it proves it.

Nicotine is a hell of a drug.
Both, but I meant the Vim mode.

It feels natural and native — more like the Sublime/Emacs/IntelliJ Vim emulators than the Visual Studio Code one, speed-wise.

The features they have implemented are easily discoverable because there are as-you-type hints in the new “bottom bar” (which also shows the mode).

Some things that don't appear in the hints are also working, including 'o' in Visual mode (which skips to the “other” end of highlighted text to jump from start to finish or vice-versa).
> I appreciate the lower weight and size (and presumably cost) of devices

The newest T14 is more expensive than my Thinkpad from the same series was - as extra thin, hard to repair notebooks usually are. It is a bit slimmer, but in the display part, not the base with the battery. It is a bit lighter, I'm guessing because of a plastic case? I'm not sure, but the case material is noticeably absent from marketing material and the datasheet, while in the case of mine both mentioned the magnesium case and internal metal cage.

Of course that's just a surface-level comparison. But after my really bad time with the Surface Pro I am absolutely not going to buy a laptop with integrated battery as long as I can avoid it. It's just not worth the pain if something goes wrong.
Tank man is banned in China. Someone at bing probably was told to censor it in China but did it for the entire world instead. I really don't understand this argument that western companies shouldn't operate in China. How is not censoring and being banned any more productive than the status quo? China is too politically powerful for anything to be done, especially by activist fortune 500 companies.
NREL has a great report on that, although it is focused on utility-scale battery storage:

> self interested in sabotaging AI is tinfoil hat stuff

Agree this in nonsense. Not a radiologist but have worked with many.

The big barriers to AI impact in radiology are a) translation is a lot harder than people think, b) access to enough high quality data with good cohort characteristics c) good labeling (most of the interesting problems aren't really amenable to unsupervised) a d) generalization, as always.

It doesn't help that for the most part medical device companies aren't good at algorithms and algorithms companies aren't good at devices, lots of rookie mistakes made on both sides.

On the one hand, you can make 600-labels per rack.

On the other hand, you could just buy WD hard drives at virtually the same price and not have to worry about those labels at all since the sticker is in the correct spot.

Its not that its an unsolvable problem. Its that the solution is not worth the price difference between the drives.

Not sure which language you use, but At least in java you can embed images into the javadoc comment and they get rendered by the IDE when you hover over a method or class. Comes in handy when you need to describe Boolean mesh operations for example.
I own quite a few of the books with 'old' images in - ie ones that have been collated because they're in the public domain now, and everything is free to use.

I wonder if there was a particular licence in this book? Like if I buy an image from a stock site, generally it's "fine for the web as part of a 'something'" but I need an extended licence to sell it on t-shirts or book covers. Maybe something like that? But I agree that feels like a stretch...
DDG is (largely) a pass-through proxy for search from Bing (both Web and image) and for Russian-language media, Yandex. It maintains a number of specific search bots that mostly provide its intsant-answers content.

(This is based on interpretation of very unclearly worded statements and comments from DDG over the years.)

DDG may not censor results itself, but it inherits the censorship policies of its search providers.

(Disclaimer: I've used DDG as my primary Web search for nearly a decade, and Images since DDG image search came online. I'm strongly critical of DDG's relationship to the Tank Man image censorship issue.)
I think China is happy to let in physical products like Apple, but it wants the internet stuff under it's control.

That's because Microsoft got caught censoring the results, then they lied and claimed it was a "human error," which absolutely nobody believes.

Then Microsoft manually took an action to restore the image results in Bing for the query "tank man." Which then filtered down to DDG since it relies on Bing (previously DDG's image results were similarly devoid of the proper results).
I disagree: If a company posts a job on HN, it is 100% reasonable to point out to the community that working there can come back to bite you.
This is going to be controversial... but if Apple is going to choose a Spanish word for a _very popular_ product name, they should at least pick one that is properly written.

Monterrey in Spanish is written with 2 Rs.

Yes, I know the city in California is spelled with just a single R. Its original name was actually "Puerto de Monterrey". It probably changed to a single R when Mexico sold California (and other territories) to the US in the mid 1800s.

Edit:

See, told you this would offend US sensibilities.
I like this idea! Free for small and paid for medium/big. I think the real wisdom lies in taking the middle path (mostly). I recently read how babel, a project used by millions, struggled to keep few full-time developers. It was heart-breaking. Great developers gets glued to the idea of open-for-all at the cost of practicality. It's kind of like how people say "follow your passion" but realistically this approach only works for a a very tiny percentage and rest just struggle to pay their bills.
But I am sure some projects out there must have taken this middle path. It would be interesting to know how it worked out for them.

Looking at a couple stores, the difference is around 50 cents per AA vs. 70 cents per AA at moderate pack sizes. That's good in comparison but it's about the same price it was a decade ago. Even comparing to 1990, when "alkaline" wasn't yet the default, they were about the same price. "Alkaline: These cost about $2 to $3 a pair for C or D flashlight cells, and about half that for the AA and smaller AAA penlight batteries."

At best you can say they've dropped along with inflation, which is a factor of 2.

And Github still doesn't allow you to disable pull requests or issues in a repository.

If I had an open source project, I would not publish it on Githib precisely for this reason. Open source doesn't necessarily imply open development, or horizontal organization, or constant support, or anything. It just implies that the source is open.

Plus, on the Internet it's very hard to tell when someone is demanding something from you from when someone is just making a suggestion.

I think it's still pretty unclear at this point, because "an Apple user" can refer to someone with an AppleID using a web-browser on another platform.

Mind. Blown. I've got a couple of them too, never really thought about how they came to be.
Well, statements like "what doesn't everyone just use x" usually haven't been thought through too much.

One main reason is that I don't like the feeling of having all of my money stored by a single company. Especially if that company is operating with the goal of making profit. May be irrational, but having a single point of failure for all of my hard earned money just doesn't sit right.

I do wonder how a dramatic shift towards Li powered cars will effect the price. We may see demand outpace supply for a decade or more. I hope it is the other way around because cheap lithium batteries flooding the market would have many positive implications.

They did this last year.
Practically speaking, the idea behind the 1619 project is to make it impossible to think of the American Revolution or Founding without also thinking of slavery and a tendentiously, unnecessarily exaggerated notion of its significance both then and ever since, up to the present moment (where critical race Theorists say it, in effect, is still going on in many respects). This is achieved by forcing everyone who encounters the 1619 Project into a polarizing debate that isn’t interested in truth or falsity but instead which side of the politics of “oppression” and “liberation from oppression” one is willing to take.

As critical theories are self-critical only in accepting critiques from critical theories (all other criticism is deemed an application of hegemonic power), it is not possible to defeat a critical theory with matters of facts. They can only be problematized more severely, which, while it defeats the specific critical theory, ultimately replaces it with a stronger critical theory. The most obvious way to undermine the 1619 Project in specific, then, is not to argue about matters of historical fact around the events of 1619, 1776, 1863, or any such period; it’s to point out that it erases the earlier and more severe suffering of American indigenous people who were genuinely enslaved and subjected to genocide by the Spanish starting almost a century earlier.

Again, it is not the matter of fact here that will overturn the 1619 Project (as being, itself, problematic). It is specifically that the 1619 Project did harm to indigenous peoples by erasing their allegedly earlier and more consequential suffering (Again, because it’s so difficult to remember about critical theories, truth and falsity do not matter in these analyses; it just has to be forwarded forcefully enough while appealing to the lived experience of suffering of subjugated indigenous people).

Critical theory projects like the 1619 project is therefore not a tool to improve our historical understanding, and is inherently in conflict with the liberal projects ways of finding truth.

It lets the Chinese Communist Party pretend their citizens don't live in a curated bubble designed to reinforce feelings of nationalism and loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party.

Some Chinese are allowed to travel abroad. If they discovered a totally different Internet abroad, they might start asking uncomfortable questions back home. Instead, CCP bosses hope that they simply won't notice that the domestic Bing isn't the same as Bing everywhere else.
