A common argument is that allegations of anti-semitism are used to shut down criticism of Israel. That's clearly true. It's also true that a lot of the criticism of Israel is based on anti-semitism. Good luck sorting that out with internet censorship!
The article doesn't mention anything like that and gives a good idea of the examples.

Did anyone even read the article?
If you look at the memory data https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14MFvpFaJ49XIA8K1coFL..., Rust seems like the only one that uses constant memory, and it uses way less than the others. The other thing that I get from this article is that performance is really complex, and never just a function of the language you chose. I'm glad to read articles like that as a junior, I think this will give me a good mental model for performance.

I’m talking from a point of ignorance here because I haven’t looked into this in two years or so but audio apps have seemingly been one of those iPad promises that never seemed to materialize a complete desktop replacement solution, sadly. The hardware and software support seems to be there for some pretty impressive stuff potentially, a fairly functional DAW and some nice instruments and effect plugins, maybe. More like the app in the link above!

I’ve seen GarageBand but it kinda still seems like a very simplified version of what’s possible… Loads of the MFi hardware releases look like toys, too.

P.S.: Feel free to email me directly if you feel that your case is unique.
Some unsolicited advice for you:

* That initial "How to use it" diagram completely puts me off the product - it seems dizzyingly complex, and to have that right at the top before I even know what the product is seems like a mistake.

* Consider getting a native speaker to review the text - the grammar is off in a fair few places.

* Write a simpler paragraph for what your product does - I've read through the entire landing page, and your HN comment, and I still don't understand what it is you are selling.
You can go to your profile options and enable showdead to be able to read censored comments.
That's great! :) Hope to see you around sometime - we have regular meetings, feel free to pop in anytime :) (this is true for anyone else, too!)

The dog whistle cuts both ways. I've heard more than enough anti-semitic stuff thinly veiled as criticism of Israel and I am a Jew firmly against the occupation.

Crypto industry faces $30B tax threat from infrastructure bill
The number is actually a bit higher than that actually, but there’s at least 30 that I know where they are. The 7 generations after the first one (aka 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S, 5, 5S, 5C) had multiple different baseband variations and for several reasons (one of which I previously mentioned) required me having one of each. After I was done using them and had restored them to stock (always kept at least one of each generation jailbreaked though), I’d rent them out to friends who lived in SF/NYC who needed to test their apps on older versions of phones or with specific OS versions (as back then, I could install almost any OS version on demand). I made enough doing that to continue my trend of buying multiple of every generation up to the iPhone 8. Around that time factors changed and beginning with the iPhone X, I started buying just one from each generation. So long story short, that’s one way that someone ends up with lots of iPhones.
How does it actually pick options? Are we relying on WSB reddit scans etc?
They usually have them near Gala at both my local grocery store and Walmart in the Midwest. They are good, though often a little more bruised than other varieties.
I have been using Angular for a few months now, honestly pretty happy with it so far.
I was paid $300 to complete a take-home project for the final interview round at the company I currently work at. Give candidates a 1-2 day take-home project and pay them for their time.

Outcome: You learn how they work, while showing that you value their time.
> It levels the playing field a bit, in the sense that code is more objective than an interviewer's notes

Except that writing code in a Google doc on the phone doesn't in any way resemble the real "playing field". I grant that it's level in that everyone faces the same constraints, but to write code in a gdoc with red squiggly lines underneath every keyword, automatic capitalization after a dot, and variable width font? How does that give you any kind of useful assessment? It's like handing a butter knife and some twine to a doctor and saying "here, show me how you'd stitch up this wound".
I don't really see how the level of immunity could be low enough in June to allow rapid growth, and then suddenly be high enough in mid-July to cause rapid decline. Wouldn't we expect a population close to herd immunity to see slow growth, and a population just over herd immunity to see a slow decline?
Beating up on this example some more:

Multi-lingual support seems really really hard, especially in six minutes. I would think most people would need to look at technical (i.e., unicode) and linguistic references to get it right.

Should does the ligature f l match itself, or the ASCII constituents 'f' and 'l'? How about combining vs. pre-composed characters? Some Chinese characters show up in other languages (Japanese, Korean) and are sometimes split between Hong Kong/Taiwan/Mainland language tags too. In fact, there's a mess of work devoted to this ("Unihan" https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode13.0.0/ch18.pdf). Having figured out what you can do, you then need to decide what you ought to do. Not being a Chinese-speaker, I have no idea which options would seem natural....

In fact, having written this all out, there's no way someone "solved" it from scratch in six minutes. It would be a great discussion question though....
Yes, the evolution of the GS conspiracies are just putting a name to the "Jews are running the world" conspiracies, giving him god like powers to manipulate and control.
All the contractors I've had at my house usually have Dewalt electric tools. I think it's a convenience factor, they are already going to Home Depot during their lunch hour anyway to buy whatever small thing they need to finish the job.
I mean they give some high level examples but it's mostly non-specific and at the discretion of a group whose missions is to report this stuff... In other words... show me the data!
I don’t know about ten years ago, twenty maybe. But the internet of today is not the internet of then.

Back then someone could have created an offensive blog and it wouldn’t have been taken down. But people would have to link to it, seek it out. Now we have social media sites algorithmically pushing content in our faces, IMO it’s only fair that they’re asked to consider what they’re pushing when they do it.
It could have been Go and Java programmer trying to understand it. Or it could have been some clumsy tool written in node which Go programmer finds hard to read and understand. Clojure's main advantage is that you can you can learn it very very quickly up to the point when you understand most of the code, the language is very very small compared to "five main languages".
Sadly, I had to ask myself the same question.

A report came out in the UK claiming widespread anti-semitism on University campuses and made the headlines. They had failed to distinguish between criticism of Israel and anti-semitism in the report, which was very disappointing. There certainly was some clear cases of anti-semitism, but they bundled criticism of Israel and accusations of Israel running an apartheid regime as "anti-semitism".

As you point out, this is not the case here.
Probably isreal themselves since they fund a large online PR army. Why has HN had a bunch of pro-Israel, and poor little isreal type of posts lately? Wouldn't be surprised if related. They need to cover up pegasus.
As a reminder, hate speech is not against the law in the United States [1].

However, it is against the law in plenty of other countries, and likely against the TOS of most sites.

You're right the current version is pretty small. The demo we're building is just about making enough product for our commercial partners to test in their facilities. That way they can confidently sign binding purchase agreements that we'll leverage to build commercial scale facilities. We're aiming to build our first commercial scale plant next year. Since our product is chemically identical to mined limestone, only much more pure we're confident we have a compatible product!
What brought it down from 64k is the tesla announcement, that it would no longer accept bitcoin.

It impacts people being paid overtime.

In reality, this would likely push some employers to leave ~Cali~ (EDIT: mean the U.S., didn't realize this was federal) (such as SpaceX, Tesla, etc), as they wont want to pay overtime.

It would also potentially push people to hire more salary employees, but they'll only be paid for 32 hours. That could suppress salaries (as the employer will only pay say $100/hr, they wont increase it so it'll potentially be a 20% cut in pay).

Essentially, continue the drive to push all the jobs overseas.
I agree with you here. I'm honestly not educated on history enough to know if such a reform is feasible in a single pass - an entire redesign vs incremental change. It would be cool if a major rework could happen all at once.

> if you're writing high-speed/high-frequency trading apps for Wall Street, Java still isn't there.

Stop-the-world GC doesn't stop you from using Java for high-speed apps, unpredictable stalls do. It doesn't matter if your GC takes 2 seconds to run fully as long as it doesn't kick off during your hot loop, and the opposite is true; there will never be a low enough overhead "magic" GC that can be run in the background that may cause a microsecond stutter on your finely tuned trading algotirhm, it has to be explicit.
I think there's two different issues:

1. picking a language/tool that a company doesn't have personnel with experience using it

2. picking a language/tool that is esoteric, which generally implies #1 as well.

#1 on its own isn't great, but generally when sticking in the java/python/ruby/javascript/php/etc...mainstream languages, there's a lot more documentation, and there's a higher chance that _someone_ in the company will have some familiarity. If nothing else, it'd be easier to hire a replacement for.
FinCEN / Office Director / Washington, DC / Full Time

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is an agency within the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and is the nation’s financial intelligence unit, at the forefront in preventing and detecting terrorist financing, money laundering, and other financial crime. FinCEN’s Global Investigations Division (GID) uses all-source intelligence to conduct investigations of foreign entities, jurisdictions, classes of transactions and types of accounts to identify those that pose a money laundering threat to the U.S. financial system, and then takes action to neutralize those threats.

We're looking for a mission-driven data scientist with solid leadership skills to serve as the Office Director for GID’s new Office of Data Forensics. Consisting of a team of data scientists, the office will help GID organize large sets of transactional data and other information, develop tools to identify illicit finance typologies and actors from that data, and work with investigators to obtain the evidence necessary to support GID’s actions. We hire folks from all walks of life who are self-starters and have demonstrable experience tackling complicated problems in the public, private, or non-profit sectors.

With regard to remote work during the pandemic, health and safety are our top priority for all employees. Except when necessary to access classified information, everyone is currently working remotely. There is no specific timeline to return onsite yet.

Come join us in putting data to work to fight financial crime -- no prior government experience required!

> but if I got my tool home and it simply didn't work

I have bought items without the anti-theft devices being removed, everything from guns to booze.

In the latter case, on one of the occasions when that happened, it was possible albeit slightly challenging to simply wriggle the anti-theft device off.

In other cases, though, I had to return to the store.
I installed Instagram just to message someone. never really used it. Yesterday I scrolled for a bit and got the impression that it would create very unhealthy mindset to be exposed to that everyday. looking at that subs posts was about what I expected. good luck to them, extracting their consciousness from the ad matrix.
Interesting. In my limited experience with pneumatic tools, SnapOn is much higher quality than the brands available at big box stores. Probably not worth it for typical homeowners, but my old roommate ran a SnapOn truck.
I hate that noise. Especially since they place them on aisles with expensive items, which are the same aisles I end up spending the most time comparing the different tools. Make me feel like I can't move for fear of being beeped at.

Makes sense that they do it if shop lifting is as big of a problem as this article suggests.
There isn't a formal definition of what a continent should be, the naming of these things is a bit loose. Some of it comes from geology, others the politics of geography.

There are such things as micro-continents (which Madagascar would fall into).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_fragment

According to this article, sure it's Wikipedia, but I learned this in geography class at school, "Continents are the largest landmass of a particular continental plate"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island#Differentiation_from_co...

By this "simplified" map of continental plates then the lower half of Central America is technically a continent:

The article makes a pretty good reason why it's aimed at the state. The potentially close relationship between private companies and the state and how intelligence is/was likely shared between them. If that's true, NSO Group is acting as an agent of the state - thus Israel would be spying on France and caught doing it. Thus the anger directed at the state level, as well as the company and governments. A lot of the government you would want to be upset at, well, they don't give a shit and that's why people don't like them.
For manual labor this would make a big difference. For intellectual work, I suspect it would probably not lead to much less work being done. Just because people are at the office 8 hours a day, doesn’t mean they’re getting 8 hours of work done. I would be curious if people would get as much done and waste less time sitting there or if the sitting there time is the same, percentage wise.
Almost everybody with some Linux experience knows that the file name is not stored on the inode. It's not this part that makes the question bad.

What makes the question bad is that nobody can guess what answer he wants, and anything else, as correct as it may be, will be understood as a mistake (what is evident by the OP's answers that were perfectly correct).

"What number am I thinking right now" may be a really strict question that fails your expected number of people, but it's not a good interview question.
I had not. Thanks for the tip - the article didn't mention it.
We're building it out to ~300 tonnes/year in the next few months. Our commercial partners don't need more than 20-30kg of product for initial testing and then just a few tonnes to run industrial testing.
You did not steal, they charged you not enough. Big difference.

Stealing / shoplifting means you had intention.
None of their examples included 'criticism of isreal'.

Unless people are inciting violence or organizing systematic discrimination, I think people should be free to say whatever they want. I understand why some people want to ban such speech, and there will always be those people, and there will always be ignorance and bigotry. It’s a slippery slope to give a subset of people control over what is allowed to be said. Maybe someone will point out my ignorance, too.

They want a big, powerful, capable tech industry... that will never even think of challenging the supremacy of the government.

This is their way of reminding the tech sector of that latter part.

> When I showed up the chainsaw was nowhere to be found, and after looking high and low and triple checking their inventories, the rep said he figured they must have walked.

I've always chalked this up to poor inventory management practices. I've gone to Home Depot for first aid kits, counter tops, smoke alarms, pipe fittings, etc and had the same experience. They show X in stock but none can be found.

We had similar issues when I worked at Office Max in high school, it was usually someone putting overhead stock in the wrong location because they just couldn't be bothered.
> Isn't one of the big problems with lithium battery fires that they produce their own oxygen?

The problem with lithium fires is that if you douse them with water, the heat of the reaction (and/or lithium acting as a catalyst, my chemistry classes are a decade ago and my memory is hazy at best) splits the water into oxygen and hydrogen. The hydrogen is the real issue as it immediately combusts explosively.
I sympathize. I've noticed that there is a clear trend for mentally unstable people to fixate on jews as some sort of booheyman. honestly its really strange and I don't really know what it is about jews specifically that attracts those wackos.

I've also been personally called anti-Semitic merely for criticizing the treatment of Palestinians and advocating for Israel to pull out of the west bank and broker a deal to allow palestinians to self govern and coexist.

also note: its been less than 5 min since posting and already 5 downvotes! also apparently flagged... well I expected that.
Really inspiring to see some progress in this area. Capturing in cement is indeed pretty clever! I wish you the best of luck to scale up production.
I'm a Jew, a Zionist, and a knee-jerk supporter of Israel. That makes me the type of person many of these posts are hating on. But I don't think that they should be taken down. I would rather that the hatred of me and my tribe remain public and visible, so that we can see it and respond appropriately. Hiding it does not remove the sentiment or the danger. Words spoken against such hate, convincing people that it is not justified, are triggered by such posts too, yet those are also suppressed when the hate message is suppressed.

I want to know who hates me and why. Protecting me from that endangers me more.
