University of Maine professor Michael J. Socolow: "Gawker began as a crusade to save journalism"

Dying on the hill to keep a sex tape of a washout wrestler was in the name of journalism? There are real journalists out there that lost their careers fighting to publish real stories about political and corporate corruption, war crimes, human suffering and more. Not sex tapes. Gawker didn't have any real journalists. This was a group of frat boys enjoying causing mayhem in random people's lives as long as they got to profit from it. So no, you have no principles.

hm, yet crypto allowed him to "exit" the industry while the traditional system doesnt; and for all the talk of "control" are people really coerced to use a cryptocoin?

> Lose your savings account password? Your fault.
> Fall victim to a scam? Your fault.
> Billionaires manipulating markets? They’re geniuses.

So the problem is that there's no 'daddy state' offering to save people from themselves. I guess nobody offers that, you 're on your own currently but nobody also pretends like it's safe either. In the end these rants are like an open admission that "people are stupid and they don't even know it and need to be protected at all times". This is well known but technology has a chance to change it by empowering and arming the individual
I played around with the godbolt he put up, I honestly found that adding __restrict to the pointers appears to make the biggest generated code difference and the code seems to be written with that in mind. That does ruin portability sadly, but it does cut the number of instructions generated down significantly and allows the compiler to use memcpy.

I'd be curious to compare that to his normal version in a benchmark

I don't disagree with your general point, just nitpicking on this particularly, because I think it might be eye opening to consider

One of the biggest losers in the cryptocurrency space is back for just "one more tweet."
Perfect! Possession is nine-tenths of the law. Pacta sunt servanda. You made a good deal about something you created, and you had the powerful means to enforce the deal. I like that. People can say this "sounds unethical", but this is exactly what every other employee or freelancer should aspire.
It seems that in general female immune system is stronger. While "man flu" is a popular term for men getting excuses to complain and play on a computer during a minor infection - it might have a grain of truth. For example, COVID male death rates are higher than female (for the same age). See https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-19741-6 and https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-1....

Of course, a stronger immune system is NOT a universal advantage, as it can backfire. (There is a similar phenomena in other systems, e.g. military.)
I didn't get that he sold the option the same day he bought the stock from the article. Maybe I misread it. If so, than that obviously makes it not suspicious.

I read it as "he bought the stock a month ago" and then "later on, he sold an ITM option"
You can thank the current right-wing government for letting deforestation get completely out of control, just after the country had finally got it down to okay-ish levels around 2012-2016.

They’ve been systematically reducing funding, relaxing laws and enforcement, and pushing international preservation fund backers away. The rate at which things have degraded is insane.

This is the truest take. Federalist is directly sponsored pro-wealthy propaganda.

Python comes close, but what makes Smalltalk special is that flow control and loops are done with objects. There are almost no keywords.

Imagine that you could do something like this in JavaScript:

(name === "Mike").ifTrue(() => console.log("Hi Mike");

The implementation of this is done through a Boolean class, which has two subclasses, True and False.

True implements the ifTrue(fn) by invoking "fn", False simply returns.

The main advantage is that everything is predictable and inspectable.
What does it mean to contribute to third party OSS (that has whatever X licence) under Google's copyright?

That the project owners couldn't change licence (and keep that code) without Google's consent? Is this why some (/all of a certain size or commerce) worry about CLAs?
The access I have at work is extremely valuable in that same market. Should I sell that too?
Any insurance that can only pay out in proportion to the premiums already paid in seems like a red flag. That's a savings account and not a genuine transfer of risk. Unless the bug that triggers a payout is extremely circumstantial, it seems likely that any single claim would trigger a flood of claims, so I don't buy that pooling premiums received makes an insolvency-inducing run less likely.
Welcome to the world of business.

Usually the developer gets taken advantage of because they assumed the world to be fair and equal and companies to have your best interest.

In this case the developer got wind of an attempt to take advantage of him. He put in protection to prevent this. That's what a company would do.

To not understanding why someone needed do that strikes me as a bit naive.
I like your website - very simple. It's nice to see a new developer not use any JavaScript on their site.

No way I am going to trust today's guessificial algorithm. The capacity/cost does scale as the file size increases, and the algorithms get smarter. Photos can increasingly be analyzed for useful correlation. Today we can find by time, place, people, object, eventually scenes will be reconstructed, lifestyle patterns contributing to long term health outcomes, leading to real diagnosis, memory augmentation and simulation (much of it requiring better privacy). In the meantime, I enjoy being able to time travel to amazing or obscure moments (even if it's just that amazing abricotine in 2016).
Imagine having your heart in a backpack and some dumb security guard wants to take away your backpack for inspection.

Twitter's visibility might be high, but as a company they're tiny compared to Google (about 1/20 by headcount). They're also several years younger as a company. Those differences could have a pretty big effect on how far down the "mega-corp bureaucracy curve" they are, so maybe compare Twitter today to Google in 2013 (less than half way through Cornet's tenure there). Or maybe he sees a genuine difference in corporate culture, or in technical content, or in work from home policies, etc. How you feel about any one thing at a company can color how you feel about it in general, even if other aspects are actually the same.
>I'm not going to bother to explain anymore

You never explained anything. You made assertions you couldn't support and just accuse everyone else of not understanding. Also, your argument is ridiculous on its face. Tech companies already pay for internet. Their datacenters don’t have free hookups. ISPs already get money from FAANG companies to get their data in and out of their data centers, and from me to get my data in and out of my house. If you need more bandwidth, you pay more money. Netflix spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year on bandwidth. This is one of the weakest and most nonsensical arguments yet against net neutrality. I’d love to see some of your sources because that’s a rabbit hole of misinformation I’d love to go down.

Which is weird in itself, not exactly sure how we ended up in this spot. People in a restaurant or a bar are never thinking whether they should order another drink that will be gone in a couple of minutes based on the costs but they refuse to spend one dollar on buying a mobile game that they play for hours and hours and that forces them to watch an ad every minute.
From that point of view the $100 for the book is even less relevant.

> most companies when hiring are looking for people who do lots of side projects and open source work

Incorrect. Most companies don't give a shit.

> yet when you are actually employed, you will usually have a contract forbidding you from having side activities

Incorrect. I've had a dozen jobs in my life and exactly zero times have I had anything resembling a contract at all, let alone one that dictated my activities in my free time.

> on paper companies can easily claim ownership of them if they become worth it

No they can't.

> people end up in a situation where they are actively discouraged from doing anything on the side

No they're not.

> having side projects and doing open source is valued in hiring

Not really.
It's all fun and games until you're the one who has to pick up everyone else's slack.

Self-determination is the luxury of the responsibility-less, the foolish, or the oblivious. The more and more of business I get exposed to, the more I realize the level of interconnection and constraint propagation is so high, it really does require an eyes fully open approach. That means making some seriously hard decisions sometimes.
I doubt Apple would make that claim of your personal Macbook. Likewise if you're not using the /Microsoft account on GitHub, it's not 'company equipment' in that sense, it's just happens that in a personal capacity you are a client of (a subsidiary of) the company you work for.
> I'm sympathetic to the tree-clearing locals. You're living in poverty, there are some trees sitting over there you can cut and sell, but you're not supposed to.

I had this exact model as a kid, spent countless hours playing with it. Might still be at my parents. Seems odd to be posted on HN.
Strongly disagree.

You can choose to run Pi-holes, Plex, and all that crap in your intranet and pretend you don’t need a CA. It’s not that hard to set up.

Either learn how shit works or don’t do it.

To be clear, I’m still talking about a scenario where you are running a company and process data for your customers. Hobbies are different.
The ban is justified only if the goal is neutrality.

The court decision considered this question and made an explicit ruling. If employer bans big symbols, like headscarf, they have to ban small symbols as well. No exceptions, no selectivity.
Good question. The central pole acts like a kind of skewer. It keeps the hay from sliding off the top and falling over. As to the height of it, having something to keep your balance on top of the stack is essential. One of the photos shows the person standing on the stack and their head is at about the same height as the pole.
He calls "corruption" "one of the worst parts of capitalism". Maybe I should have paid more attention in class and less to Civilization, but I did think that corruption was not generally seen as much of a problem with capitalism as more centralized economic systems.

Corruption is always a problem everywhere, but it would seem to get worse with greater centralization of control.
I'm not sure why you would think I was referencing the "sale of stock" since my point has been the only interesting day was the "sale of option" date. That's what I'm referring to.

Someone else said that he sold the option the same day he bought the stock. That would clear him from any suspecion. However, that's second hand based on someone saying it was in the article and I misread it (quite possible.)

What I was claiming is that the timing makes me think he might sold the option after getting inside information, specifically so he could say "I had to sell the stock" which is a true an irrelevant fact if you sold the obligation based on that information.

Now, like I said, if he sold the option the same day he bought the stock, then he is clearly innocent. And similarly, if he sold a 1-week ITM option after getting briefed, I think he is clearly guilty (morally, if not legally).
As a side note, I have a half-finished project of turning such city-month temperature maps into vectors (with an interactive matrix factorization/PCA).

Twitter is just a bad website. Google terrifies me on surveillance, freedom of speech, and the general destruction of the internet. Twitter just annoys me. The problem with twitter is too much freedom of speech, and that's not a problem that I'm concerned about.

If your ethical compass is just bad/good, I could see how this would be confusing.
>This is a myth. The number of candidates I interview who have side projects worth looking at or open source contributions is maybe 1-in-10 at most.

It's not a myth depending on the industry (software as profit-center vs cost-center) -- or type of company (startup vs mature company).

E.g. HN skews towards startups so the excerpts from the most recent "Who is hiring?" thread[1] often mention Github profile as desirable (but not mandatory).

On the other hand, the programming where IT-as-a-cost-center where development is CRUD work like moving zipcode field on a webpage ... those types of jobs advertised on Monster.com won't mention that they're looking for Github side projects.

All that said... with real-life statistics being what they are... Since most programmers don't have Github side projects, it means that hiring managers that asked for Github side projects may end up hiring 100% staff with no side projects -- because those were the only hiring candidates that applied.

Some excerts from the most recent "Who is hiring?" thread[1]:

While I myself have only modified smaller codebases, modified forks of Firefox, Chromium, and GIMP (among many others) do in fact exist. Some of those forks have even gone on to become quite popular (although none yet as popular as their parent codebases).
That's a bit sad, but isn't it at least partially due to OpenStack's decline?

Because the left wing position is that a democratically elected government should be deciding how money is distributed, while the right thinks government should be stripped of this power. Think of blockchain as the privatization of money supply.
Adding to this - I did interviews for about six months and I don't think I ever saw a candidate who had a significant side project or open source contributions (at least not in the last couple years). It signals a potentially strong candidate, but I'd never weeded out someone for not having it.
Do people still think the solution is for everyone to reduce their individual carbon emissions?

“If we all just conserve enough…”

Flying, for example, emits 2% of global emissions. That’s 100,000 flights a day, every day.

We’ve just spent over 2 decades generating at least 40% of our electricity with coal. The carbon footprint of that was incredible.

While we’ve been waiting for solar and wind to replace it…

There are similar rumours - and have been for years, before the creation of the actual 'Yakuza' game; about SEGA as well.

The launch of the game did nothing to help those rumours, but certainly made it a bit more difficult to find information about online. :P
For folks who are operating at this layer of bounds and overflows and such, are you relying entirely on a mental visualization of the data structures when reasoning about them? Or does this kind of exercise require some sketching etc? I find it to be quite challenging to explore these topics without having to draw on paper, so I was curious as to whether this is something that you eventually graduate from, or whether sketching things out remains a large part of the process.

Are there some tools that help this kind of thought process? Or do you have to use drawing primitives - rectangles, etc to do it?

I have come to the conclusion that we humans have a very difficult time perceiving reality once our tribe has decided something. I'm sure it saved our ancestors from ostracism and exile.

> Most companies also don't let their employees open source their code written at work too.

This would be a big red flag to me if it applied in the general sense at a company. Stuff that's open-sourceable is generic enough to not contain trade secrets, so what is there to hide? Though if it's a question of maintaining the project, I can understand a company deciding not to invest in maintaining the project (though I still think it's good when they do).

In my own experience, my employer does not prioritize open sourcing internal projects, but at least every time I've asked if I could open source something, it's been all thumbs up as long as it doesn't get in the way of normal business priorities. It's just a question of whether I feel it's worth it to me personally to become an open source maintainer.

Aside from that, I've contributed back to open source projects we use at work because there were some issues we found in the process of doing the work and that's resulted in improvements to those projects and a nice little side note on my CV. Even in a super draconian environment, given enough time spent working with open source dependencies, opportunities like this are likely to come up.

I also don't get the point of having a stealth aircraft. We are neutral as in this will be used for defense in the most extreme case and that is it. So it will fly in Swiss airspace hiding from Swiss ground troops? If we have enemies on our soil we have bigger problems than a stealth aircraft would solve.

Some people were talking about owning lots of land in case society breaks down, but owning large swathes of land you cannot actively defend is pointless for these reasons. You depend on government to enforce rules of law to keep people off vast amounts of land. And it gets exponentially harder to defend land the more of it you have.

This applies really to any resource though. Even your home could be taken away if the threat of punishment from a higher authority didn’t exist.
