> how did they manage to ignore such a big number of real spies?

Because spies are rare you get too many false positives.

Things which are far less rare than spies but still provoke suspicious behavior: divorces, mistresses, being homosexual, gambling debts, etc. Basically--human existence.

You don't have the resource to chase everything, so the spies slip through.

And that's before you start thinking about the fact that the spies are likely better at covering their tracks so you're even more likely to focus on the wrong stuff.
A (baseless) line about anecdotes - and said by someone with no awareness of the issue at hand or the research - is evidence that this entire research project is wrong?

Why do we even use research? Why don't we just run on anecdotes? There have long been anecdotes about witches and black cats, about prayers to the rain god, etc. I'm pretty sure Amazon relies on research and data.
> “I think these events were largely organized on platforms that don’t have our abilities to stop hate, don’t have our standards, and don’t have our transparency,” she said.

On the other hand, the other platforms don't have a best-in-class, finely tuned engagment-maximizing algorithm that exercises no human judgment about whether the engagement that's being driven is net harmful to users and society at large.

Well, actually Youtube has a similar situation[1] and is arguably culpable in the same vein.

Ha. Of all the things I learned at university, rocket science was the easiest to get. Quantum mechanics on the other hand sucked.
Did you actually watch the George Floyd video? It's horrific in a way that echoes through a generation. How is that not newsworthy? You think it's engineered outrage? I say it's objectively outrageous.
It's good that they didn't use DoT, because then it would be too easy for adversaries who want to do censorship or surveillance to just block port 853.
Personally I have to say the sheer amount of memeing and editorializing here is just very distracting. I mean I appreciate that stuff as much as anyone who grew up in the 2000s but some blog posts really dial it up to 11 and become almost unreadable.
Thanks for posting real data.
Yeah, that's a very egregious and unusual example. That is not representative of what typical tech jobs are like.
Your point was you shouldn't call it what you did?
Basically it is because it is a US company. I got the job after I moved to Croatia. In this case, you generally need to be hired on as a contractor. Of course, your employer needs to know that you are a US citizen and you are living abroad, for US government tax reasons.

The way it works is that you basically look for contractor jobs that are remote-only, that are based out of the US. You ask them if they are willing to take on you, a US citizen with US-based work credentials, working abroad (in X country in Y time zone), as a contractor.

The key is that you need to get a local (abroad, where you reside) payroll company to do the taxes (as an intermediary) between you and the company. Technically you can do the taxes yourself, if you know what you are doing, but usually this is the best way to approach it. It certainly looks better to your employer to do it this way.

I watched the entire trial, video is only one piece of information which was taken out of context and repeated to no end.

It's very easy to make superficial judgements and be outraged before knowing all the evidence. Media outlets such as NYT are exploiting this to gain clicks and ad revenue.

I live on 1 acre against a small wooded area in central PA. Very rarely see dead birds. The other day I saw a dead

However this platform does is make it easy to visually inspect the unit. Since these are long(er) term rentals, the whole point is that you can inspect before you lease so checking things like parking, WiFi, and air conditioning should be pretty easy.

The issue is the labeling. It adds subjectivity to what can be just as easily communicated objectively.

"Research Shows Percentage of Californians Planning To Leave State Unchanged since 2019"

Once SF Gate adds the subjective labels: Exodus and Myth, we get focused on the accuracy of the labels. The meanings of labels evolve, and that evolution is 'phased' through society. Hence labels will always mean different things to different people, different meanings lead to different reactions and then misunderstandings and in worst cases, conflict.

I intentionally try to filter out labels for that reason.
Regex reminds me of sendmail.cf. Very clever and powerful, but no one writes configuration files that way any more.

You can still use ad blocking with DoH. Just pick a DoH server that does so (or run your own) instead of using the default one. Or just use a browser extension like uBlock Origin instead. Nobody's trying to kill your Pi-hole with DoH. They're trying to kill your Pi-hole by serving ads from first-party domains.
Part of me wonders what the long term of a transition like this looks like. Would this company be able to keep its data consumption healthy, or would it drive product changes that might harm it's users or lead to dark patterns?
Think of human labor as a natural resource. If the employer is overseas, you're selling the raw resource. You'd rather make some goods out of the resource and sell that instead.
Could be. But I could also see the courts ruling an individual can't be liable for copyright violations if they never accessed the original work, which is generally required.
Yes. Not a senior exec myself but worked as an exec assistant with glorified title for a couple and they were plugged in at any time, all days (Sunday a bit less). Their only balance was a slightly more generous leave (about 2 months per year). Some of the work is a bit less taxing, lots of meetings, calls with interesting people, as long as things are going well. Some is really boring administrative work. I was doing the boring parts that I could, and was a fly on the wall for the rest, and still they could not delegate most of it to me or others just by the nature of it.
It's worth checking out "terragrunt" it helps one breakdown larger terraform sites into re-usable modules which can be ran independently without having to redefine common configuration such as backends.

It allows for running a plan or apply on the whole site, or each individual module in the site.

So in this case it's easy to just apply the database changes, and then run the whole site plan to make sure everything is indeed in the right state.
I follow Formula One drivers on social media, and they regularly posts photos of themselves on private planes. Well technically these are charters, but at the end of the day it's just them and their friends/family on each of these flights.

Such ToS always have a clause like "we can change these terms at any time". I'm surprised that these data miners bother to declare their intent at all.
Of course he can work from wherever he wants. The problem is, if he thinks that remote working is bad, he shouldn't do it either.
I think people need to reconcile with the fact that California is for people who have very high power careers or are career protected. Either that or work in service. It was too good to last very long. Just move somewhere else and embrace the weirdness.

We know that joke is from little Britain , because you tube gives us the video. But the joke was actually in a different show first, i think it was called 'people like us' and the scene was in a real estate agent
I have never understood why these C-suite types feel like they need to share their lives and experiences with employees.

Who truly cares?

My current employeer, in europe, has a new c-suite figure from abroad who likes to regale us with tales of his life at every meeting.

This person is good at their jobs, but this behaviour is just buying them ridicule from the employees.

Get it through your head C-suites. We do not care, as we do not know you closely enough (as we do not work with you).
So OP is illiquid? Then categorising OP as a risk is perfectly correct.

Wait until you hear about this company called Plaid (valued at ~13B$) which is used by a lot of FinTech companies to access your bank account. They take your username/password in cleartext and go ahead and scrape and do as they please with the data to prevent fraud (oh and if 2fa blocks them from scraping, they'll ask you to disable it).

How is this even remotely acceptable blows my mind. My alternatives to transfer money into these fintech companies are checks (are we in the 90s?) or wire transfer (20$ each).

It's not a myth because you heard two people talk about it? It's not entirely a myth, I think we can all agree - of the tens of millions of people in CA, some think that way.

But CA has long invested large amounts in its people (one reason there is U Cal Berkley, which is one reason for the Bay Area's success), which of course requires taxes, and it long has protected its citizens, including the wealthy ones - something the citizens like and vote for.
> On search, we decided that self-tour viewings on an apartment ought to feel like 2-day shipping on a product on Amazon. Knowing that you can get a given product tomorrow or the next day vs. an alternative a week from now can drive purchasing decisions - for good reason.

That's how Amazon used to do shipping - when you go to checkout, they offer you a menu of shipping speeds, you can pick the speed you want, and then the item will arrive by the time you picked.

It has nothing to do with how Amazon does shipping now. Today, Amazon offers zero choice in shipping speeds, provides an estimate of when your item will arrive, and won't honor the estimate.

Don't try to emulate Amazon's shipping "options". They couldn't offer a worse shipping experience if they wanted to.
Some suggestions:

- Get specific on what you are trying to get better at (spaghetti-like code, what object oriented means, finish a programming book?

- Which do you want to get better at HTML, CSS, PHP, JS, Python, Node?

- How will you know if you're better?

- Figure out if you're motivated enough to do it yourself versus get an instructor

- Can your massive software project wait or do you need someone to pair with you and/or answer questions?

Answers:

- Simple answer: Lambda School (not affiliated)

- Medium answer: Buy a few intro to X programming language where X is something you know and work through all of them

- More complex answer is build a DIY course yourself for yourself based on the answers above

Holy jeebus fuck!! People need to find another hobby.

I am not discounting the effects of the harrasment. Shit online is one thing, but once they start coming to people's place of living is an entirely different thing altogether. That's beyond ridiculous, and I really hope the police take this seriously. I'm going through similiar/different home harrasment issues, and I can definitely sympathize.

Doing this shit because someone with a software package does something you don't agree with? Really sounds like mental problems to me, as that's the only thing I can think of. Rational people don't do that.
these days "hate speech" usually means "speech I hate".

facebook was somewhat neutral allowing both sides, left and right, to push their agendas in 2020. Censorship would be much worse, and this NYT article seem to advocate for shutting down free speech.
I wonder if someone could give me feedback on this. I heard that basically all cancer cells switch over to aerobic respiration, ie fermentation, and that in this metabolic mode they can use glucose and the amino acid glutamine as fuel but not ketones. So some people have treated their cancer by eating zero carbohydrates and taking a special drug that disables glutamine, doing so intermittently, and they have seen incredible results from that.
I guess compilers? Especially for languages invented by big tech like Go. What came to mind when I wrote that was Tensorflow which seems like an attempt by Google to create some kind of lock-in there.

I walk around my neighborhood every day (about 7 continuous years of at least 3 miles a day for context). This is in NY.

Over the last 3 months or so I've seen quite a few more than usual dead birds, most of which had really nasty looking eyes. It's not like something out of a horror movie where the streets are littered with them but instead of the 1-2 I might see in a couple month stretch, this has been more like 6-7 with similar eye issues for the ones that were "fresh" enough to see the details. Most were on the sidewalk or on someone's lawn.

I've seen 2 in the gutters of houses which seems strange, like they died on the roof of a house and trickled down. I only know this because it happened to people I tend to walk past and they were outside on a ladder addressing it.

They were all grackles and blue jays. There's a fairly equal amount of grackles, blue jays, robins, sparrows and crows here.

I also saw a pretty big crow fly directly into someone's window but it wasn't a usual case where it was a huge window where it might think it's open space. This was a pretty small window near a right angle of the entrance to their house. I've never seen a bird fly into a spot like that before. It flew off so I have no idea what happened to it.

The injustice was largely engineered. It was deliberately misrepresented.

The MSM would have you believe this was an angel of a man murdered by police as he begged for his life. He was a career criminal with a lethal combination of drugs in his system, with Covid-19, trying to discard baggies of drugs during the arrest, who had been testing police with claims of "I can't breathe" long before anyone went anywhere near his neck as a deceitful ploy to avoid arrest. But the MSM will only show you the "right" part of the video.

It's been going on for a long time now. The Michael Brown one was extraordinary - the police officer was lucky to escape with his life and yet the MSM presented Brown as a gentle giant slain in cold blood.

It's all very fatiguing.
AFAIK, Haskell requires explicit types for higher-rank types specifically because inference is decidable for them.
You raise a good point, but I think one can criticize the proposed law without painting the whole endeavor as some kind of conspiracy.

Because, when you think about it, climate change will also affect the poor way more than the rich - so some unscrupulous riches do have a vested interest in keeping people cynical, because it's not they who will suffer the consequences - they can retire in some nice mansion in the Arctic.
I'm stuck wondering now why there's such a weird reaction to this. To my knowledge, I didn't say or imply anything offensive or even worth disagreeing strongly about (it was more a conversation starter, since there were no comments yet), so am confused. Is there some misinterpretation that I'm not seeing that's leading to this?
On this topic, I tried to do a Jan 1st to Dec 31st transaction dump from Chase Bank into a CSV and the whole thing failed -- "too many records." Then I broke it up to half year segments and the second half failed, again "too many records." Finally broke it up to three 4-month segments and realized Chase has a -- clearly arbitrary -- limit of 2500 txns (IIRC) per CSV dump.

I understand the need for limits, but 2500 rows x 7 columns?! This isn't exactly "Big Data."

That's because they used TSMC, not SkyWater.

I think you're deliberately creating confusion here.

Also, as the webpage states, they signed TSMC's NDA:

Sure, if you sign the NDAs, you can use whatever toolflow you want.

Look, I don't mean to in any way denigrate your techinical achievement here, and I have no beef with your project. But the absence of no-NDA foundry access is a huge, massive obstacle to a truly public and free open-source ecosystem, and lately there have been a lot of people and organizations papering over that problem and bamboozling software folk who aren't aware of the issue and its details. Hiding the problem isn't going to get it fixed.

> We are hearing a ton of these anecdotal stories very recently about Californians moving to other states, especially wealthy, higher income individuals.

We know matches a political narrative (anti-liberal, anti-tax) and that the right, such as on Fox News, has long pushed it about CA. That would explain why you hear it so much.

EDIT: I'm trying to avoid discussing the politics of it on HN, but ignoring the narrative is like (as I said elsewhere) ignoring the Sun as we talk about Earth's orbit. It's impossible to discuss it seriously or honestly.

> It's abundantly clear there is a lot of migration out of California. Just ask Texans, Coloradans, and Idahoans.

Currently residing in Texas for 2.5 years now, moved from California. Yes, I anecdotally meet "a lot" of fellow NY/CA residents moving here. I also anecdotally have noticed that Whole Foods sells lots of local texan brewery beers. Are Texan local breweries on the rise in popularity or is it just that my proximity to the situation is making me thinking thats the case? (Note - I'm middle aged and work in tech, like lots of the people moving to Austin from CA/NY)

The media's obsession with California, is IMHO, hilarious. I lived there for 3.5 years. The quality of life is incredible, but that is offset by the absurd cost (and thus the economics of your work situation). This experience has, IMO, been in decline. But this is exactly how market dynamics work in a union of states. The more people leave California the cheaper (and thus sustainable) it becomes.

This is an overall good thing for Americans, regardless of where you live. Market liquidity means higher optionality.
Funnily enough, for me it's the pragmatism of the politicians that makes me want to move there.
