Society can be wrong and mindlessly enforcing status quo is often immoral.
Those are definitely not unions. They're employees, the groups are small and they're usually managed using a combination of bribes and threats (yes, even though that is illegal). A union does not have these problems because they are so large they cannot effectively be managed in such a detailed way. That leads to a positive incentive to simply negotiate.
Quite apart from the obviously horrific and troubling aspects of this story, a more mundane question arises: how on earth did anyone at the company, even rogue actors, determine that the 'damage' done to eBay possibly justified the level of expense and organisation invested here in attempting to ruin this couple's lives?
jQuery is great at generating tech debt. It can also do DOM binding.

Any attempts to organize and make sense of someone's unstructured jQuery code will result in an ad hoc "hot-rodding, fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants" framework that only the guy(s) who originally wrote it know(s). That won't fly in the "enterprise world".

Also, I'm not an Angular guy (I actively refuse to work with it), but to lambast Angular 2+ for its version numbering -- which I think is just semver?, and give React a pass for the same thing (hey guess what, React is at v17 now) is odd to me.

By dismissing TypeScript on principle, this guy is losing out immensely (hey guess what #2, if you're using Gulp or Grunt (uh, in 2021?) which the author says he's OK with, it's a 10 minute job to add a TS or Sass compilation step)).
Unless you only use that for production builds, I suppose. But if so, does that mean the author maintains an ordered list of JavaScript/CSS files to import during dev time? Oh. Oh no. That won't save you any time.

If you're that afraid of learning new things, maybe just frontend isn't for you. And that's OK. But maybe don't be so proud of it.

Even if you believe the CEO's claims that he just wanted a counter PR campaign or something, the person orchestrating it ran a team named "Global Security and Resiliency" and ebay employees were having cars and hotels paid for.

I think execs, hotels and cars go beyond "Oh isn't it terrible what these rogue employees did" and ebay shares some liability. If a company decides to dump toxic waste in the river because the CEO commented that he was unhappy with how much cleanup cost, they don't get to hide behind "oh, well the CEO was just frustrated with costs, its really some rogue maintenance manager and his employees decided to redirect the waste so we're not at all liable, just the employees"

Very late reply, but for context.

I had done the upvoting of downvoted comments just a few dozen times total.

> If a user however upvotes more negative comments than positive ones that is at least unusual.

I disagree. There is no real point in upvotes IMO. Nothing visibly changes, and comment "karma" is useless (on all sites) and mostly encourages unhealthy obsessive behavior of karma chasing. Downvotes on the other hand are clearly visible and change reading and voting pattern and flow here on HN. To me, using voting privilege on wrongly downvoted comments makes a lot of sense to me.

> all downvoted comments are often downvoted for a reason

I took great care to only upvote clearly innocent and worthwhile submissions and not the haters and the useless (even if innocent) stuff. I tried acting responsibly and only after giving the value of the comment some thought.

Not only should 'paying tax be optional for rich people' be illegal, it should be heavily punished. If you are rich, and you avoid taxes, you should be punished extremely harshly, to the point of poverty or termination.
The police in Portland were never overrun. Over the course of those 100+ nights they maintained discipline, held their secure perimeters, and succeeded in their mission to keep rioters from breaching e.g. the federal courthouse or their station buildings. In contrast, officers at the Capitol were completely overrun, isolated, and brutally beaten by the mob without hope or expectation of rescue. Some have said that while lying on the ground taking blows, cut off from backup and effectively abandoned by leadership, they thought they were going to die then and there [0].

They also failed in their mission to protect and secure the Capitol. While blame for that rests mainly on their leaders, at least according what I've read in the IG and Senate reports, I imagine it still weighs heavy on each officer.

> We could literally stop this with the signing of a bill.

That may be, but Occam's razor suggests that it would be a good idea to ask why that still hasn't been done. Surely there are some reason why such obvious and useful things still haven't been implemented, right? I may be wrong, but i'd like to suggest that there are certain interest groups behind all of that, for whom such changes would be bad for business.

Also, what makes you think that both approaches couldn't be utilized? Use less resources, increase taxes to compensate the drop in prices that would otherwise follow and gradually stop subsidizing things like meat production, at least to the degree where the price at stores is artificially lowered. At the same time, attempt to subsidize wind, sun, geothermal, nuclear and other forms of getting electricity and see whether things are better or worse in 50 years.

Those approaches are not mutually exclusive, as long as you have plenty of legislative bodies on your side. Sadly, we don't and probably won't, at least until a generational shift takes place. As Planck's principle states: "Science progresses one funeral at a time", which could be attributed to social policies to some degree as well.

Of course, in regards to electric vehicles, one also has to consider the necessary infrastructure to support them and what's the CO2 cost of creating their batteries in the first place. For a while, and certainly in some geographical settings, hybrid vehicles could also be good for a gradual transition.
It makes me incredibly angry that I have a long-standing issue that I can basically get no support or fix for whilst you are cheering a cordoned-off system on as ‘working amazingly well’.
I think something at the level of a constitutional convention and a total overhaul of congress is needed - there not a single person currently in office that can be trusted not to perpetuate and magnify all the problems currently affecting the US. We're operating on a system designed for paper in a world run by computers. Every citizen is living under a vast array of legislation and rules that more or less negate the principles of American government. Privacy, and thus liberty, is crippled, and we lack a reasonable framework with which to deal with tech giants and massive corporations.

Algorithmic herding biases people and reinforces polarization that can't be stopped without the intervention of government, but that avenue of repair is compromised.

Trump was an inevitable failure mode brought about by the corruption of democratic ideals, and it may have been a signal that the America we thought we lived in is well and truly gone.

The ability to iteratively self correct was the genius of American constitutional government, and that mechanism ranges from enabling local government up to collectively engaging in constitutional conventions. I think we've passed the point at which any lesser remedy can divert American society from becoming a technocratic oligarchy pretending at democracy.

I was just about to make this point: as I understood it, ocean acidification is a massive environmental problem.

Mullvad is a popular WireGuard provider and well respected by HN users. I usually get about 700-800mbps on my home gigabit connection when using WireGuard and Mullvad.

BlueAnon-level delusion.
Well, the C++ coding guidelines project is focused in particular on static analysis measures, and there is quite a bit of collaboration from IDE developers (not sure about compiler authors).

So, a "vintage C++ off" is actually less unrealistic than you might believe. In particular, I see IDEs and compilers easily shifting to making it annoying for people to make raw allocations for example.

Still, point well taken about people tending to write "C+". They then also complain about how modern C++ is complicated and they can't "see what's going on" etc.
Some documentation is sadly lacking generally, but even some very good documentation in terms of detail is not terribly useful to a beginner as it is often more a reference work for people with some experience.

With a bit of experience a detailed reference is great, but it can completely overwhelm a beginner who is better served by being given some simple worked examples of a core sub-set of features/methods/properties/processes/… then being given the more referencey docs to find the other details (ideally with some starting pointers, linking what they were shown in the tutorial examples to relevant bits of documentation).

Remember when 4X games came with paper reference manuals? If you skip the SMAC
tutorial and go through the reference in order you'll hit the copter and hovertank units (late-game additions that you don't need to care about initially) long before the speeder (something you have access to early on, from the start in the case of one player faction). Just giving beginners reference docs is much the same thing.

Many have become attuned to searching for a tutorial elsewhere, assuming the docs will be overwhelming initially, even if more introductory information is available for a given thing. Also, many or introduced to new libraries and such through tech blogs, another reason for that being their starting point. And of course if searching via Google et. al. you have the issue of blog-spam that is SEOed to the nth degree coming up before the better documentation.

It's a good start, but there are many other differences. a[i] can mean getattr (but usually not), and can throw a KeyError. Similarly, a.b may return null if it doesn't exist, while in Python it will throw an AttributeError. You might need to add uses of global or nonlocal. And there are a lot of other small details.

However, I think it will be much easier than translating the other way around :)

ruumi | Berlin, Remote | Full-time | iOS, Swift, SwiftUI | https://www.ruumi.io

At ruumi we help farmers with rotational grazing: a managed grazing technique that regenerates soil, increases biodiversity, minimizes agro-chemicals, sequesters carbon, and improves profitability at the same time.

We are bringing multi-spectral and radar satellite imagery, geo-spatial tech, and machine learning to regenerative agriculture. We tell farmers actionable insights for example: when and where to move their animals to maximize soil regeneration and carbon sequestration.

We are looking for someone to work with us on our applications, with a strong focus on iOS.

That's not really what it's about.

I would say an antifragile system is one that adapt to changes (even unexpected one).

A good example are businesses that were able to adapt to covid and earn more revenue by doing things like providing delivery services among other things.

I don't think antifragility is achievable by some kind of process. You probably need live players[0] at the helm to take the lead and figure out ways to adapt to new circumstances.

Well, the article misses just a couple of things:
1) First and foremost, the famine was USSR-wide and hit both RSFSR and Kazakhstan, the latter one had even worse population consequences.
2) When it became apparent that there is not enough grain, USSR started rapidly importing it and giving out - still in a brutal city-favouring way, but it was not a deliberate politics of starvation.
3) The whole story started due to western nations banning gold trade with the USSR, forcing it to gamble on grain yields to buy equipment for industrialisation

The famine still was a terrible mistake, but trying to paint it as deliberate killing is unfair -- it is more akin to great depression (typical forced move to the city and machine agriculture). Except it didn't last 10 years and they tried to fix it as soon as it happened.
