I think it's unmentioned because it has nothing to do with the US appeal of the extradition ruling, which is the topic of the article.

And though I view the retraction as an important and under covered event, it does not collapse the case completely. The witness is only relevant to one of the eighteen charges against Assange, and even in that charge he was mostly used as a character witness to label Assange as a malicious hacker.
I do think the fast ideation strategies I learned in art school definitely help me in software development, as well as not becoming overly attached to my children and accepting criticism. There are, for sure, many wonderful lessons to be learned in creative classes that cross over. I haven't been to a "Code Camp", but I have to imagine that this form of purely technical training (on its own) would have its down sides (though, I only have a liberal arts education as well, who stumbled into a technical field because of my hobbies).

It’s the beginning of the “modern” period and just after the renaissance. What is life like for the local business owner? Who would they be? What extent is it still feudal serfdom in <country> during <year>? It’s an interesting time with massive social, scientific, and religious change, it’s been really fun to read about so far

Social media has been weaponized by people with nefarious intent. This has unfortunate collateral damage.

I have run afoul of the crude tools in place to detect this myself on both Twitter and Facebook. But I have yet to have a day-to-day casual conversation with anyone about their precious freedoms being limited on the Internet - except for some of my friends whom are part of an easy to predict demographic and they are all about it these days.

But you don't have first amendment rights on a company's online forum. And it seems like attempts to create a forum that supports supposed first amendment rights immediately realizes why you can't do that when people hack the crap out of it.

No solution other than waiting for people to become desensitized to all the agitprop the way they are now desensitized to deep fakes despite all the hubbub about them being the end of the world.

> you cant pay rent with total comp stock/equity

Sure you can, you just sell it as it vests. Which is the commonly-recommended thing to do.

At a public company RSUs are so liquid they are damn near as good as cash. Once you're on the vesting treadmill they're hitting every quarter, or even every month. That's not much different from a paycheck.

Yeah there's market risk that dictates the actual value, but when you're getting your salary again as RSUs it's still a boatload of cash regardless of market performance. Cash that you can pay for things with. Like rent.

“Everyone is going to get Corona. Whether you’re vaccinated or not, whether you’re old or young, whether you’re tested or not, whether we lock down or not. This is a fact of life now.

The vaccines will protect against severe symptoms only for a time, and Corona is always changing. Slowing the spread will prove counter-productive particularly to those who have sought the protection of vaccines.

Your best hope of continued immunity is infection while your vaccine still protects against severe symptoms. The best hope that children have of mild infection in adulthood, is low-risk infection now, while they are at no risk. There is no more point in slowing the spread.

That will only make us immunologically naive to this virus for a longer period of time. Many, many viruses infect and reinfect billions of humans throughout their lives, with barely any notice. It is time we made Corona one of these viruses.” End.

> they're, as we speak, pulling off the biggest and smoothest on-the-fly architecture transition ever.

I think Microsoft's architecture transitions between OSes were far smoother, in terms of ensuring backwards compatibility and giving developers far more advance notice. Of course, they stayed within the same chip family (well, except increasing the N in N-bit), so it was a smaller transition, but it worked well.

I confess that I've found it both enraging and depressing to see that the "bootstrapped-by-hype" model works even in programming language development, which I had (naively, I guess) assumed would be more immune to that sort of thing.

Surely this is a violation of civil rights law. The law is going to have a disparate impact on minority groups since there is a difference in vaccination rates between different racial groups. The law doesn't seem narrowly scoped to achieve a specific compelling government interest. People from the government seem to be claiming this is being used to incentivise vaccine uptake. If the government made the claim that the vaccine was necessary in an indoor setting in order to reduce the spread then the law might be ok but because they have been caught making these other claims then it could burn them in court.
How many compulsory vaccines were necessary for you to attend school?

For me, it was three or four at least, and until some genuinely inimical people decided vaccines were a good way to get famous at the expense of the body politic, nobody cared.

Since you referred to the HN rules, i think your comments itself could fall under:

"Be kind. Don't be snarky. [...]"

(you could have phrased this like "i'd have preferred if the author didn't use clickbaity terms and instead used (...)")

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

(you interpreted the "impossible" as something done for attention grabbing, while it's quite clearly simply a shorter and more interesting way to say very difficult)

>> The former is suffering from a labor shortage which is why FAANGs and similar companies are willing to pay $300k-600k for engineers with 5-10 years of experience

They want the golden childs. They want 5-10 years experience but still balk at anyone aged over 40. You have to have an "upper level degree" but then again they don't want someone who spent too long in school. You need a breath of multi-disciplinary experience but also know absolutely everything needed to "hit the ground running" in their very narrow field. And of course they must be a good "culture fit". At anyone one moment there are perhaps ten such people on the planet.

I have met some of these people. They do exist. They are essentially walking professional resumes. They look great on the corporate website but rarely accomplish much practical work before they are off to live on a different website at an even higher salary.
>Where is the business model if not to charge users a late fee or high interest when they can't pay it back?

Interchange fees. Most high limit card holders don't hold a balance (ex. the Amex Platinum/Gold/Green cards are charge cards that don't carry a balance). They make money by charging the retailing the .30c+2.9% fee on every transaction. This is why it's also makes sense to always use a credit card provided you pay it off - retails mark up everything to give credit card processors their "fee", but credit card companies give you kickbacks in the form of points. If you pay cash, you are subsidizing everyone else's credit card points.

It’s important to note that we’ve been working-from-pandemic, not quite working-from-home. In a normal WFH, you could go to a coffee shop, or a co-working space, and get more of the casual social encounters humans need.

I agree with the idea that we’ve removed a lot of casual social encounters (in much of the US), and as a result a lot of folk don’t get to meet new people outside of work. I’m hoping we get back to more third-places, ideally without needing to spend large amounts of money to be out with new people.

Co-housing, integrated walkable city planning, and reinvestment in public programs would all help with this. I hope we get back there.
> Don't you think you are too enthusiastic saying 3D facial authentication cannot be fooled?

That is not what was said. The commenter stated that THIS 2D GAN method has no chance against FaceID, and if you understand the way FaceID works you would understand they are absolutely correct.

FaceID shines dots on the user’s face and measures the distortion of those dots across the facial topology. Using this method on a 2D surface will result in no distortion, and therefore fail.
Yea, I mean the problem is. If you have a function that expects a number parameter. In Typescript, the compiler won't let you do this someFunction('a'), so you never have to worry about handling this. But, if it is in javascript, then someone can call the function like that. So in javascript, you might have a test that ensures that the function handles this gracefully. You obviously don't have to have that test, but you will have your app blow up later down the line, if someone adds a call like that. So, testing does occur at times for these types of things. You might not have done it ever, but there are certainly devs who have, myself included.
Foundation does this. No road building at all. Paths are created organically by activity. In addition, the player never builds houses either. The townspeople pick where they want their house to go.

There is road building in Banished, but the townspeople will only use them if it’s an optimal path. They’re not the least bit shy about ignoring the roads if they can get to their destination via a shortcut. Since the roads do give a substantial movement bonus, the most effective roads are the ones which trace out the organic movement of the citizens.

I like both systems, but prefer the one in Banished. It’s rewarding to build a heavily used road system based on observing patterns.
Shocking when you see good news.
Fond memories of the days this was the sole domain of paranoid conspiracy theorists. Now, at the exact same moment that we are getting evidence of the mRNA vaccines' rapidly waning efficacy[1] and ineffectiveness at reducing transmission of the Delta variant, the screws are being tightened and the unvaccinated are being scapegoated. Never mind that this variant arose in India where there was never any possibility of the entire population being vaccinated all at once.

If the vaccines work, why are we talking about vaccine passports and domestic travel bans? If the vaccines don't work, why are we talking about vaccine passports and domestic travel bans?

Also worth noting, this is de facto racial segregation, because blacks and Hispanics are by far the highest population of unvaccinated in NYC. Funny how a lifetime of having your health and well-being actively ignored and sabotaged by public officials raises doubts when they suddenly show up with shiny new injections and start pushing them with lotteries, free ice cream and donuts, and all the rest.

Currently, if you're married, the first $24K or so is tax free. If you're in California, there are plenty of credits/deductions, so it's likely more than $24K.

Also, you can have a 401K Roth, where all withdrawals are tax free.
I think the big issue was not that the foederati were specifically outside the normal Roman political and military world. A German general or nobleman who took over a fragment of the empire would not have caused a major change to the political order and their territory would be easier to re-incorporate into the empire.

What I'm getting at was why were the Franks taking over Gaul different from the Gallic Empire. My impression is that the difference is that there was a German political/military order that replaced the top layer of the Roman political order (although the bottom layers which included the city administrations and the Church continued to function), which included fragmentation of authority after the first few rulers, and that meant that the old administration could not be reincorporated into a renewed Roman Empire in one go. (Of course, this re-incorporation of a German breakaway kingdom did happen in the case of Italy which was briefly reunited with the Byzantines, my explanation doesn't really account for that, it would be interesting to examine how difficult or easy it was for imperial administration to resume (ie, was it treated as a military frontier province or did the old Italian administration get reconstituted))

And I think this is because the foederati system helped preserve a separate German political order even after the tribes were fighting for the empire and living within the empire. The alternative I can think of was if the king of the Germanic tribes settled in the empire was given a formal governor position, or some other position within the Roman hierarchy. My understanding is that that generally did not happen, although I could be wrong.

Alternatively, I'd be much more comfortable going out if I knew everyone around me would be vaccinated.
The inclusion of TPM is definitely the most interesting aspect of this to me. I was initially turned off by the idea because I tend to associate them with nasty enterprise-y DRM types of stuff.

But I wonder why it's included here. Maybe for secure storage of private keys? I'm guessing that's the desired purpose for TPM in a server setting.

Obviously I'm not super familiar with TPM. I wonder if it can be used for things like better random number generation or hardware-accelerated hashing. I'm guessing if it supported hashing from userspace, the cryptocurrency crowd would have been all over it already.

>If the vaccine is as effective as it seems, then this decision feels positively nanny state to me. It takes away an individual's agency to inform themselves of the risks on both sides and make an informed decision

If this were mandating that every resident of NYC must be vaccinated, I would agree. But it's not doing that. It's only saying that anyone wanting to dine (or possibly shop, too) indoors, that is, in spaces we know to have higher contamination and spread rate, they need to be vaccinated. People that are hesitant can still go unvaccinated and that's fine, but they have to keep to areas where contamination and spread are less prevalent.

And I think that's fair.
We live in a society that operates under a set of laws, including entrusting public officials and experts to make decisions on our behalf.

Not all the laws are going to be popular. I'm sure not everybody is thrilled about schools requiring all children be vaccinated. People can object to it and express concerns about, and you can even try to change it through legislation. But the majority will prevail.

Regarding your statement: "You might make the argument that anti-vaxxers are endangering others' health by being out in public without a vaccine, but that's only a claim." It's a claim backed by stats. On an individual level, it may be discriminatory to accuse an anti-vaxxer of endangering others without specific proof. But in aggregate, unvaccinated people are more likely to be infected and also spreading disease unknowingly. At least until the Delta variant came along, and now the officials have revised guidelines to ensure everyone wears mask.

Do I think it was premature to let vaccinated people go without mask? Sure. It wasn't my call. But nobody has a crystal balls into the future. So we adapt.

In the long run, operating this fashion has served us well.

Indeed, this is a 2013 article, largely based on a favorable/credulous reading of some 2012 & 2013 analyses from the EPI, a left/organized-labor/economic-protectionist/anti-immigration think tank.

Those analyses were being marshalled by the EPI, early in Obama's 2nd term, to support their anti-immigration lobbying goals. One of the analyses declares their goal: "Conclusion: Now is not the time to increase the number of H-1B visas and STEM green cards".

EPI's obliviousness to variety within the STEM category, including with regard to age cohorts & the dynamism of people moving to- and from- "STEM" jobs no matter their formal degree, was obvious when their writeups were new.

EPI somehow manages to spin both the large number of "STEM" grads outside "STEM" industries, and the large number of "non-STEM" grads in "STEM" careers, as simultaneously being bad, instead of a sign of people & businesses dynamically adjusting based on real-world experience, preferences, and changes.

EPI's ideal would seem to be: "Stay in the exact field your Motherland trained you for, comrade - or you might mess up the 5-year-plan."
