> It's a problem because Google is constantly implementing new APIs, creating new file formats that are "open-source" but de facto controlled by them

But this is a critique of open source as a whole. The maintainer (or the team) will have final say and control about the product they built. If the product is extensively used, then that team will have heavy influence.

These new APIs will be used by early adopters and if they provide actual value, they should be added to the other browsers. One would think most production apps will not use Chrome only APIs until they are supported by all major browsers. But at least the ball is rolling in the right direction.

Apple and Microsoft had a chance to compete with Chrome early on but brushed it aside. When Chrome added search in the URL bar, it was innovative. When they add new APIs now, it's too much?
Yeah, when I first got my gravel bike I thought I'd be sacrificing some road performance for better flexibility and comfort, but that didn't happen. The actual result was that my times on smooth segments were unchanged and I've beaten many of my personal bests on rougher roads (and obviously it's much better on dirt).

It's not a perfectly fair comparison because I did upgrade to a nicer bike in the process, but my previous bike was already into the territory of significant diminishing returns for someone who doesn't race and doesn't actually care about saving seconds.
Or you could look at it as those companies have so much money and fame that they have tens of thousands of candidates pounding at their door so they can afford to arbitrarily reject approximately everyone.

But if you're running a startup (target audience of ycombinator), you'd do well to play a smarter game since you can't outspend or out-fame the FAANGs. A big part of that is to have better interviewing practices than they do.
Yes, let's silence everyone who doesn't share our view and shame everyone who follows him, I'm sure that's a great strategy. For creating extremists, that is. Keep an open dialogue and dismantle them. If you can't do that, maybe they have something worth listening to.
> There's usually stringent laws when it comes to hiring people (depending on where you are, I guess).

These laws tend to exist when the people you hire want to live in the country you are operating from. I'm a non-EU citizen working in the EU, and am definitely worried that my residence country will kick me out, since WFH means I could very well do my job from my home country (and I'm now grateful that at least I'm paying a lot of tax to my country of residence).
It's probably to prevent pointless tit-for-tat downvotes from replies. eg:

1. user A makes a comment

2. user B downvotes user A for disagreeing with him, makes a reply saying why user A's wrong

3. user A sees the downvote (or not), downvotes user B for disagreeing with him, makes a reply saying why user B's wrong

continue ad infinitum.
I don't think the misinformation is a cause so much as a symptom. The Nazis alleged conspiracy by communists and jews, but that misinformation probably wouldn't have taken root if Germany's economy wasn't burning to the ground because of the Treaty of Versailles. Desperate people sometimes cling to crazy ideologies that promise to relieve their suffering.
Or maybe he's just joking, period? The "paper" in question was apparently released on April 1..

He is, in fact, a trained mathematical physicist, with a PhD from Harvard, no less.

That doesn't make his theory right. But it does mean that the OP's selective quoting is somewhere between misleading and outright deceptive.
I visited Bogota on a visit hosted by the city's official business promotion council. The main lady running these tours was Venezuelan.
Actually, nobody makes the debt smaller. They monkey with the deficit, but the debt continues to grow.

But your original claim is a naive talking point based upon who happened to be President at the time. Often, the Congress has a lot more to do with what happens spending-wise.

Clinton was a good example. The Republicans were the ones who reined in the budget under Clinton, but somehow Clinton liked to talk about how he had "balanced the budget".

This is an approximation. It holds here, but it doesn't hold for (say) figure skates on road.

I was convinced for the longest time that her name was just an alias investigators used, but I agree, great name.
What exactly seems fair? The reply you're responding to asserts there was a "violent fringe that was making the most noise and claiming the most airtime." Is that fair? The discussion, at the time, concerning gay marriage in conservative national media was dominated by a "violent fringe"? Were their calls for violence? Were there even suggestions that violence "may be necessary"?

I'm going to reach here a bit, but are we going to rope in the Westboro Baptist Church and pretend these people were the "conservative" response? Even if we do that, do you recall them—as odious as they are—being violent or advocating violence? And if we're not pointing to them, who are we pointing to?
> I think a large bit of conservative viewpoint today is that the government shouldn't even be involved in marriage.

How is it you think that your viewpoint connects to conservative viewpoints at large?

At some point you have to admit and understand: you aren't conservative. You aren't what most people think of when they think of conservatives.
It's pretty big when you take into account whole context. Stuck up "socks size is a rule" UCI, historical norms, technical limitations (25mm is a limit for caliper brakes), tire tech (wider tires used to be heavy)....

My prediction is 27mm being the norm in next 5 years.

Currently I'm riding a decade-old road bike. It was fancy at the time because it fit 25mm tires without issues. People would give me shit for "slow" tires on group rides. But 25mm tyres improved a lot in that time. Now I wish it could take 27mm :(
I hope you live someplace that doesn't plan on eliminating them. My town is currently planning to change the permitting laws so that every kitchen/home remodel will require the removal of gas cooktops and ovens. There's a big outcry from those aware of it, but most people don't even know it's happening.
Such a shame the current writers of the franchise apparently didn't, either. Which is depriving current and recent generations of kids of that optimistic ideal.

I think it is possible, in case if company has office. I think when we are talking about "remote", we need to pay attention to tax residence. Last week I got the offer from one of FANG and had to decline the offer due to remote work allowed only in countries where the company has an entity. So "remote" !== "Anywhere", in my case, the company proposed to me relocate to a country where the company has an entity, live here (to get tax residence), and work "remote".
No, it doesn't.

SSL doesn't magically secure your servers, especially not if all you are doing is serving static HTML content and images.

All HTTPS really does is encrypt the HTTP traffic while it is in transit. The main reason this is important is because someone monitoring network traffic (for example, at the network switch) could theoretically see raw passwords and stuff being sent over the wire in plain text.

If your web site doesn't do anything with user names and passwords or form fields that accept some type of text that needs to be secured, then HTTPS isn't really doing jack shit for you (other than making visitors "feel" secure).

Edit: I forgot about man in the middle attacks from internet providers and governments who might modify the HTML and image payloads being transmitted to the end user. I guess HTTPS would be useful for prevent those types of exploits on static sites. So that pretty much means HTTPS should be on every site, if for no other reason than that.
Yeah, there's also a lot of Mormon-themed artwork and symbolism on the Nauvoo as well.

Encryption isn't just about hiding information, it's also about ensuring that nobody tampered with it.

Hacked routers can easily insert malware (and now days crypotminers) into html/javascript/css payloads, hell I remember playing with some stuff decades ago that would allow you to inject malware into exes that came across the network without encryption.
This is a risk I think that people don't give enough consideration.

I know a guy who FIREd a while ago, long before we called it FIRE, and he's had a heck of a time landing another corporate job. He had a very successful business development firm and took a buyout from partners so he could move away from NYC and spend time with his kids. His kids are all grown up now and he's been looking for jobs and...crickets.
The whole Seth Rich debacle is the most obvious example in which they strongly implied that he was the source of leaked DNC docs. We later found out that Wikileaks was still in contact with the source after Seth Rich was already dead.

There are plenty of source links in the Wikipedia article[1].

How exactly would you create this booby trap? I'm not aware of anything that could do that, apart from VeraCrypt hidden volumes maybe.
Sure, western women have been empowered so much so that birth rates have been below replacement for ages now. So this idea has some major problems. First, it will take too long - cultural changes take decades. Second, you won't be able to stop this particular snowball once it picks up momentum as is evident from the west.
Yes, this is also the sense I meant it.
Unfortunately there isn't. Dropbox/GSuite are going to be your best bet... The problem is that binary files are hard to version control. I have found that using google drive/gsuite folders to work well for templated things and for stuff like configs I will use git.

Political center are not passive bystanders. They are people who are active in politics and either actively stop or actively push for real policies. That then affect how country operates.

It is set of ideologies as much as any other political group is. They make aliances or refuse to make them too.
Narrower tires, necessarily inflated to a high pressure, are actually inefficient on a bumpy surface.

A tire's job is to absorb surface defects in the road, and that is not only for comfort, but rolling efficiency.

The extreme example of this occurs off-road. Off-road vehicles benefit from wider tires that are inflated to a lower pressure. If you have an off-road vehicle, it behooves you to take some of the air out of the tires when you go off-road.

25mm road bike tires basically require a polished velodrome; real roads consist of pitted, eroded and cracked asphalt.

If your bike is vibrating from the crappy road, you're probably not going as fast as you could be. Letting some of the air out for a more efficient, smoother ride is risky, if the tires a narrow; you risk snakebite flats and damage to the rim.

For commuting in run-down city with aging infrastructure, you want at at least 38 mm tires. 40 mm is a nice round number. You can vary the pressure for the kinds of roads you're riding on with a lot of margin, and can take it quite low for dirt roads.

I've commuted around town with pressures as low as 45 psi in the back, 35 in the front, in 45 mm tires.

I have story in relation to that. One time I was riding along NW Marine Drive in Vancouver, from UBC down to Spanish Banks. I came down from the hill and then along the flats there were some Spandex-clad road cyclists ahead of me. I pulled up to them and we were neck and neck. There was road work going on up ahead and the pavement had been scraped, leaving it horribly bumpy. I stood on the pedals and just cranked right through it, hardly slowing down. I saw in the mirror mounted on my eyeglasses that road bike guys dropped off as if a sniper had taken them out.

What is the use of narrow tires? It's just fashion, like stiletto heels.
Yeah, but it's not, is it?

Can I get an ELI5 on how to even start looking around? I'm someone that contracted via word of mouth for years, and I have zero recruiter relationships. My resume is probably very strong (principle engineer / architect level, strong mentor, JVM/distributed backend, nodejs react typescript frontend) but I haven't updated it for years. I know a lot of recruiters are lousy so I don't want to just cold-call one at random.
> The company that the candidate previously worked for is typically not permitted to say anything about the candidate without prior authorization. Your proposed solution is not workable.

You're right in that HR of their previous (likely current) employes won't say or allow saying anything.

But of course they're likely not giving as references their current boss, for obvious reasons.

Their previous bosses though, who have also left that company, will speak to you freely.
A fair question deserving a real answer, rather than downvotes.

1. HTTPS prevents ads/trackers/malware being injected into the page by unscrupulous ISPs. Man-in-the-middle attacks of this sort really have happened, [0] and remember that the browser itself may have exploitable security vulnerabilities.

2. Modern browsers will (rightly) warn users not to trust the site. This makes the site look bad.

3. Some fancy browser features are disabled if you use unencrypted HTTP. Likely irrelevant for a static site though.

4. Privacy matters. A medical website, or indeed Wikipedia, should prevent a snooping ISP from finding out you have been reading about an embarrassing condition. This is similar to the way librarians are extremely protective of their loan records [1]. Netflix use HTTPS for their streams, for the same reason (it does nothing to aid their DRM, it's purely about privacy) [2].

5. Let's turn the tables and ask why you wouldn't use HTTPS for a public-facing web server. There are just 3 reasons:

* Reduced admin overhead not having to bother with certs

* It enables caching web proxies, which is only relevant if you're running a serious distribution platform like Steam, or a Linux package-management repo [3]

* Better support for very old devices, such as old smartphones in the developing world

Connectly(https://connectly.ai) is hiring experienced frontend, backend and full-stack engineers. We are a distributed team and all roles are remote.

Our goal is to enable everyone to message and finalize transactions with businesses(e-commerce, hairdressers, tax advisors, etc.) and vice versa. My co-founder was the global Head of Messenger at Facebook, and we've raised substantial money from top investors.

I know a lot of companies were founded recently and are all looking for people, and I surely hope we are doing better in every way:

- great team/top investors/market demand is strong/modern tech stack(Golang + TypeScript + React + RxJS + Docker+Kubernetes)/top pay + equity/a significant role/fully remote

And most importantly we are building a company for ourselves - somewhere one can learn, grow and be happy

Looking for senior engineers who are passionate about building a company together. Should have good abstractions, work independently, care about eng quality as well as business impact when doing the work.

Connectly was founded by executives from Facebook and Strava and we've raised substantial money from top investors. Email me(careers@connectly.ai) or directly apply at https://jobs.lever.co/connectly. Speak soon!
Subsidize it 100% for her and low income rental owners then.

For the high income armchair landlords, impose a solar tax and fund solar installations for everyone else.

I want to think about how to make stuff possible, not excuses about why we can't do it. This kind of excuse-making attitude is why the US is falling behind in climate efforts.
What's hard to understand? Picture a spectrum with three points labeled "left", "center", and "right" respectively. Each point is a "position", none of them are neutral (because they all exist on the spectrum).
How I love Apple's new 'App privacy' cards. The app you recommended seems to have pretty decent privacy practices, there doesn't seem to be tracking outside of the app, nor tracking for advertising. This is rare in fitness apps, some of which use health data for advertising, which I find appalling.

So thanks for the tip!

Security is about the ”CIA triad“, i.e. confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

For those sites you mention, confidentiality and availability will not really be impacted by HTTPS.

But the integrity can be.

The article addresses one key aspect in fiat that is parallel to gold: inflation - gold being 1-2% (in par with population growth), fiat 2-4% - while one preserves value, the other expands it, by fueling production.

I have read a lot about crypto recently, and yet the community cannot answer this: How do you account for the global population growth (and consequently GDP growth) that is constantly in need for a relatively stable exchange medium for value of goods produced?

More people > more production > more money.

Money is a tool to fuel production. Controlled devaluation fuels growth, AS LONG as it is backed by actual production - counter this with popular examples quoted: Germany (WWII), Venezuela, Greece, Argentina, etc. dramatically devalued their currency WITHOUT an increase in production.

The problem with any limited supply is that it benefits and incentivizes hoarders and non-producers, having nonbeneficial effects for society as a whole.

Please provide information that help answer this question, I am still researching.

He's very eager to point to specific things he thinks make him successful, but it's all post-hoc.

First order effects are the only effects which matter in cycling. This isn't aerospace.

Racing slicks are a different material.

In Formula 1 racing, you go through multiple tires in one race.

In consumer driving, tires are expected to last 100,000 km or more.

There is even the practice, in racing, of using chemicals to attack the rubber to soften it.
That sounds like how I feel about 4chan! But I haven't quite reached my breaking point yet.

Why is that a problem? The ecosystem needs technologist and "market makers" (including individual traders in this) to function.
Here's an example with rip grep. Say you search for something with a lot of results, you can feed the results with a lot of answers into it, and then add additional filters. Useful for when you're not "exactly" sure what your search term needs to be. I use it when ripgrepping a lot of code bases all at once....

I also have a folder of a bunch of curl commands that I can search and apply fuzzy finding on the results that helps me explore to find.

Contrived example, search for "t" in all these files and then pipe to fzf: rg t . | fzf

In theory, perhaps.

But in practice "centrist" news sources are far more likely to present multiple points of view -- e.g. a left and right one -- while "left" and "right" news sources generally do not.

But at a deeper level, centrism isn't really an ideology at all, in the way the left and right can be. You can be a hard-core leftist or you can be a hard-core conservative, but the idea of a "hard-core centrist" doesn't really exist.

So I'd argue centrism can be the opposite of bias in a very real way. It's about dropping bias towards ideologies, and treating issues in a practical balanced way.
Also, they have higher raw weight, so thinner is better uphill.
