> "What's the advantage to society of allowing interviewers to lie (to anyone, let alone kids)?"

no one would ever get convicted if police didn't lie. If no one can ever get convicted, either we can murder rape and steal without consequence or we'd have to live in an absolute monitored police state. I think its beneficial they can lie.

the real world isn't a SVU episode on TV with DNA, high resolution video, and witnesses. I don't know the percentage, but the vast majority of crime has and never will have evidence other than a witness or a confession.

Also saying they can't lie is not easy, as you need an oracle of truth. So if something untruthful is said, does that mean they have to be let go? you mistake the date and they can go free? its impossible to police truth.
Hi, I developed this as a side project from scratch. By using The GOP Server you are capable to start developing Go web apps in seconds.
Goodbye IDEs, goodbye compiling, hello ease to use and user experience.

Welcome PHP developers, by using the GOP Server you can access some of the most common PHP functions to develop websites like echo, session_start, isset, and others.
Also you can just access request parameters with GET["example"] as you do in PHP.

No more embedding a web server inside your web app, the server handles all for you.
JWST costs $9B when NASA does it.

During their presentations it seems as if all the speakers are just going through the steps, faking emotions and smiles. Very few show actual passion and I think it’s bleeding over with this working from home issue. Apple simply doesn’t mean much to many of its employees, they view it as only a paycheck and they’re trying to maximize their harvest.

> what "our" ideal end-game goal is?

I think most HN users will agree that the good stuff costs money. So the question is really who pays, and how.

For me the ideal end-game is ability to get what I want through a direct pay-as-you-go transaction. In the ideal world this transaction is explicit, instant, anonymous, nearly zero overhead and non-recurring. Explicit, because as a consumer I want to be able to say no, and know exactly when I engage in a transaction. Instant, because waiting X working days sucks. Anonymous, because there are many reasons to stay anonymous. Zero overhead, because we want to cut middlemen. Non-recurring, because a recurring payment is _always_ an up-sell. Paper money works great in the offline world.

Any kind of an indirect payment is not ideal because it takes control from the consumer and gives it to someone else.

Is your position that sanctions/embargoes should not be used?

Or just not used against Cuba?

Was it not okay to embargo other countries whom we had disagreements with or were those okay to embargo, like (imperial) Japan, (apartheid) South Africa, (ayatollah) Iran?
I'm not sure why this post is flagged and dead. This seem like a genuine and constructive question.
I think the thrust of sayings like "the learning curve is a wall" is to indicate that there is little to no slope, which is to say you don't get the benefit of time spent learning easier parts step by step until you know a lot of the system and can handle the more difficult aspects of it. Instead it feels like you either know how it all works or nothing about how it works, and it's hard to figure out how to start and get a foothold, so to speak.
Wow, yeah thanks for this. I never have time to study for code challenges...

Yeah, from daily smoking in my 20s at home and with coworkers over a few years it eventually just wasn’t enjoyable anymore. I had a lot of anxiety and paranoia and was fairly antisocial by the end of a few years. It kind of just phased out own its own. I do drink a beer most evenings now in my 30s and that fits much better although I know isn’t healthy.

SpaceX hopes that Starship will cost $200k per launch and that they'll be able to offer point-to-point transport on earth under an hour for a cost of business class airline ticket. You'll go to space as a side effect.

Given that cost structure, eventually they should be able to offer a trip around the moon for tens of thousands of dollars.
As a 100% introvert who enjoys presenting and being in front of an audience, I completely understand the behaviour the Croatian chef described. It's not that unusual.

I can't find the original source, but long ago in an interview Mike Myers (comedic actor, formerly of Saturday Night Live, and a string of over-the-top movies) described himself as a "situational extrovert". If you are aware of Mike's work, you might too be surprised to learn that he's an introvert.

Corruption is not just leaders it is a network of beneficiaries, like a snake with thousand heads, and regardless how many you cut new will grow.
And we do not know how to get out of that mold. And democracy in uneducated society simply does not work. And we do not have it. All governments are aristocracies. News media displays of "busting" corruption is just "bread in circuses" of this age, media manipulations of wide populous while business as usual continues, hypnosis of population by spin offs and demagogues narrative.

Ha... he's given up his CEO position too. Maybe he's planning to move to his "survive climate change bunker". Either a bunker or a space station/space ship.
Not the OP, but here’s how I’ve seen it framed.

Those employees against unionization arent stupid. They are often in dying industrial towns and they know they may scare away further industry by unionizing. Meaning, they (and their town) will ultimately be worse off. Its a pragmatic assessment between the lesser of two evils.

There’s also a moral component. They generally take these jobs because it’s better than the alternative offers they have in the table and that it’s fair given the circumstances. They may feel it’s ungrateful to push back just because they can. It’s possible to vote against your own self interest on moral grounds (see: wealthy people who vote for more progressive taxation).

While I may not agree with those perspectives, it would give me pause to think I am uniquely more qualified to assess their own situation. So why do you think you know more than they do about their own circumstances?
Agree. This presents a bit of a strawman of ECS. No reason components can't reference others or Systems can keep look up tables in ECS.
I'm a bit suspicious of Yelp being a better alternative to anything. They've been caught doing more shady stuff than anyone.
Of course. I think you may have misread my original comment, which compared two philosophical perspectives on mathematics, one philosophical perspective that views mathematics as an expression of some truth beyond mathematics, and another philosophical perspective that sees mathematics as a tool to achieve some ends.
The fact that Silicon Valley thrives without non-competes proves that they are unnecessary. It’s just a way for employers to put their claws in employees. If non-competes came with guaranteed 100% salary during the non-compete time, that would be more palatable.
How likely are they to solve rapes and murders? Afaik, rapes are solved very rarely. Murders are more likely to be solved, but the numbers are still not all that great.
Lots of things said "powered by Watson," but Watson was not a single system, nor did IBM actually add value in most cases (see: Watson Health, which was a catastrophe).
The US military actually goes out of its way to source domestic chips where at all possible. Currently this means a lot of Intel (or the older AMD/IBM chips made at GlobalFoundries I suppose), and there is a pretty significant amount of trailing-edge fab capacity in the US still, but you're right that it's not everything and there's some stuff they have to source from other countries.

That is actually the consensus reason (not sure it was ever stated outright) for the original plan for the 20k wf/m fab TSMC was building in Arizona (that has since been upgraded to 100k). Even if it wasn't necessarily a huge plant in terms of global supply, it gave the US defense/intelligence community a guaranteed supply of chips with domestic manufacturing and chain of custody.

It is nuts just how much of cutting-edge production is concentrated in the pacific rim region there, and the current shortages have really driven that point home even harder. Even leaving aside Chinese invasion of Taiwan, there could be a tsunami or some other natural disaster that takes out TSMC and that would just absolutely gut the worldwide economy. Imagine the current shortages where everything is still running at capacity, and then imagine that TSMC or some other major fab would go offline (Samsung getting hit in Korea, etc), be destroyed and take years to come back online - there are the same limitations as bringing new capacity online, you have to wait years to source new machines from ASML and so on.

It potentially could happen anytime. It could happen tomorrow. Just another big earthquake that sends a tsunami at just the wrong place and compounds all the current shortages even worse. Even apart from the national defense aspect, it is a dangerous concentration of irreplaceable supply chain elements and I think the US, EU, etc are really pushing to mitigate that danger a bit.
> "People we don't agree with, often representing views we don't like, often get into power! Democracy has failed us"

> And yet the logical conclusion never seems to be embracing a small limited government.

Come on. A big chunk of the disagreement itself is about the desirability of a "small limited government," so you're basically saying that when there's political disagreement, people should solve it by giving up and just adopting your politics. That's not a "logical conclusion."
This is the right answer, and it has implications for the development of patent law: folks cheering the restrictions on NDAs should anticipate that doing so will tend to increase pressure on lawmakers to strengthen patent rights, as those investing in R&D lobby for other ways to protect their investments. Not saying we shouldn't weaken NDAs, though. The amazing last century of technical innovation emanating from California, which has relatively strong limits on NDAs, would suggest it's a good idea.
This is my theory.

You look at human civilization and that's exactly what's happened. We started off by broadcasting everything as loud as we could (which isn't very loud) and we've slowly transitioned to signals that are both quieter and don't really survive escaping the atmosphere.

I can't imagine an advanced species wouldn't follow a similar communications path. The only way we detect them is if they specifically target our spot in the sky with focused EM for a very long time, generations! After all, they have no clue when we would be in our evolutionary path.

And for that to happen, the species would have to first find us. Not just find us, find us while we are still listening.

And this is all with the assumption that FTL communication/observation is even a possibility (It likely isn't).

IMO, the simplest answer is that FTL communication and travel is impossible. Advanced civilizations across the galaxy have all come to the same conclusion.

We might be able to explore our own neighboring stars throughout generations but it's unlikely we'll be able to ever send a message to another civilization that will get there while they are listening (without spending huge amounts of power).
My same grandpa that worked on the Hubble mirror also worked on anti-ICBM lasers back in the 70s. Apparently these devices had a tendency to melt their own mirrors, and that led to the development on self-deforming mirrors to deflect heat from hotspots.

(He also worked on the TEAL AMBER and TEAL BLUE satellite surveillance systems, and probably others that he never even talked about.)

Unfortunately this is true of, like, pretty much everyone in every industrialized society.
The natural numbers (positive integers) are the numbers 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5, ....

The "..." signifies that there are infinitely many such numbers, so there is no largest natural number but there is a smallest (1 is smallest). In that sense it is infinite in only one direction - written here it is infinite to the right but has an end at the left.

Nothing special happens as you "approach infinity" and in fact that's not a thing you can do. No matter how high you count, you have only have counted finitely many numbers and there are an infinite set more that you have not counted.

> The second scheme, on the right ... Calculations must be discarded rather than corrected when problems are found.

I understand the title is technically correct, and the field of quantum error correction (and error correction in general) encompasses the detection of errors as well as the correction of them. However error detection and error correction are different (but highly related!) problems, and there are are a variety of codes that are good at each. They tried out one error correcting code, and one error detecting (in this instance) code.

It's very cool to see the surface code put to use, and I've always found it intriguing how quantum computer design is motivated by the topology of the underlying error correcting codes. There's a similar proposal for ion-trapped quantum computing where you use a 2D array of trapped ions, rather than a single linear chain, to represent your qubits. You then use different atomic ions for your logical vs error correcting qubits, and you need some different fundamental operations than you do for interactions with a linear chain of ions.
There a bit in there to offend anyone and everyone.

Ask HN: What are the best coding bootcamps?
I have some family members and friends that are interested in getting into software development and were asking me what the best way to do so.

In case the context around the individuals is helpful: one of them is in their early 20s while the other is late 30s (with family and all).

Not sure if there happen to be better bootcamps depending on what stage of life you're in.

Would love to hear what experiences HN users have had.
A company in the US has no legal obligation to pay fines in the EU. There is no ability to enforce these rules on US companies.

Also, individuals traveling to the EU will never be liable for the fines of their company.

Our company just completely ignores GDPR - and I suspect no one will ever care.
At 36 now, C++ has aged extremely well. Perhaps not to everyone's taste, but it remains an exquisite, high-precision tool one could do anything with. Boost, a set of libraries, is a good testament to how much can be accomplished given just enough ability to create abstractions, and few languages can compare with C++ in that regard - especially taking into account runtime costs (C#, for example, heavily relies on reflection).
> My state has severely limited non-compete agreements to the point that they’re only narrowly enforceable, if at all.

Same here, but that does not stop the former employer from filing suit and causing havoc for the newly hired employee and their employer. Every time it's happened to someone I've hired, it is a former manager or business owner who is personally angry at the former employee and is trying to harm them. Seems pretty pointless.

Google Drive bans distribution of “misleading content”
You can be a dad even if you are completely unrelated to the child. Daddy is the one who plays catch with them or does the cooking when fire is involved or kills spiders or whatever other roles get assigned to men in their family.

If you're also breastfeeding, sure, you can be mom as well. Though there's a long history of wet nurses feeding babies, and they don't become mom, either.

If the child ends up learning some different language than I got to describe it when I grew up, I'm sure they'll manage. I was a child in the 70s, when divorce and step-parenting became a lot more common, and we all dealt with it. They also learned to deal with it a few decades later when their classmates said that they had two mommies or two daddies.

When some child comes to school with two mommies and one daddy (who is also one of the mommies), fantastic. I'm sure it'll cause problems for the first one, because kids are awful. The second one will have less problems, and the third will have less, because the kids will find some new reason to pick on somebody.

The kids themselves will have happy home lives because they don't give a rat's ass what's between their parents' legs or what they do with them behind closed doors. They live happy lives because they have parents who love them and care for them and demonstrate the ways that they can live in the world -- including their performance of gender.

It's not that I think I know better than them about how to deal with their own circumstances, it's that I think the system is intolerable if those are their circumstances.

Having to feel like putting up with terrible conditions is the best option available because otherwise business will up and leave for a different set of suckers is a bad thing, full stop.

Desperate people will accept lots of things. Let's make them not desperate. I'm not arguing here with someone in that situation who voted against a union, saying they were wrong; I'm arguing with someone who's using "they voted against it, they aren't stupid" as a defense of US society at large. The moral responsibility is on US, not them, so that they aren't in a "take this abusive shit or have nothing at all" situation.

I have a feeling that even in North America, ham radio regulation is essentially anti-revolution legislation.

In other discussions on HN I’ve had responses suggesting that it’s simply to ensure that e.g. kids don’t disrupt emergency bands.

It seems similar to anti-gun legislation which also appears to a type of anti-revolution legislation despite being positioned as a measure to reduce school shootings.
Yup, to me it implies a darker problem, that FLT is something that can't be surpassed. All civs might advance to that understanding and decide to maybe just occupy nearby solar systems and nothing more.

You don’t even need to say that. My three lines I’ve used for every job are:

The resignation letter simply reads: “Effective today’s date I hereby notify my employer of my intent to resign my position of position on date two weeks from today”. Signed and dated with nothing else.

If asked why, the answer is “I’ve decided to seek opportunities elsewhere”.

If asked where, the answer is “I’d rather not say at this time”.

As you say, there’s almost no benefits and only drawbacks to divulging any other information than that in most cases.
Well we have never had to sue anyone because no one has ever actually called our bluff when we send them a threatening demand/cease and desist letter from our lawyers.

So if you decide to call our bluff in the future just know we won’t sue you…because we don’t have to sue, our agreement makes you waive your right to have the case heard by a court in lieu of mediation by a mediator of our choosing, from a mediation company we send all our cases to.
