I’m very surprised so many in the HN community are unable to see these cognitive traps. The vaccines were tested. They may have a small chance of killing you or creating other ill effects down the run, but they don’t kill 3% of the vaccinated like SARS-CoV2 does with the infected. And that says nothing about long COVID and other long term damage the virus causes. And let’s not get into the new, deadlier variations.

So, unless the person is sure they are safe from contagion, that they are adequately isolated and will not contract the virus, any vaccine is better than no vaccine.
I mean, technically, Russia is in Asia, too...
Yes. And, for women the insanity is mind-blowing. Now, being a "woman" is a state of mind and simply a matter of choice -- i.e. it's a meaningless "construct". We spent decades _rightfully_ learning to recognize and respect our differences, in terms of recognizing equal rights. But now, boom that's just bullshit, I guess.

But, that's me who's amazed by this. I'd be more interested in the the opinion of women (biological females) on this recent phenomenon.
I was a fan of Reebok, they had really good price/quality items. But a couple of years ago they merged their ecommerce* with the one from Adidas and they increased the prices so almost everything was almost at the same price between the two brands.

> But think of the children!

This also goes both ways: there are children with phones, in terms of reality, not morality. These children are being spied on.

That's what people don't get about these backdoors and sidedoors (?). There is no way to guarantee that a malicious actor hasn't gained control or knowledge of them.
Except stock price is supposed to indicate discounted future expectations of value. I expect that they will spend that $1B in the future with little to show for it.
I think his point is that the problem is no longer as simple as a lack of diversity, and blanket calls for "more diversity" are not addressing the problem. The problem is a lack of women and black people and we need to stop framing it as "white men won't let in anyone but themselves."
from my current understanding - that does occur with m-soft one-drive which is a default in many systems), but not the hash-looking thing apple is currently proposing.
I heard in some other HN thread that the quality isn't that great on these. Was that an issue for you? I looked into NEC monitors, but they're a bit pricey. Does anyone know of other options?
> it is also true that more people are exposed true information as well

Some people are. Before elections though I used to try to follow fringe political parties to be more informed. My Facebook feed just got blanketed with nonsense like you wouldn’t believe. My YouTube recommendations went downhill too, and got flooded with conspiracy theories, aliens, and other crazy but sort of funny stuff. Filter bubbles are real and extreme
"The Diversity agenda of the past 20+ years has created more racism and division than I witnessed in my entire life before then."

Are your children being taken from you, forced to speak a different language in a state-mandated school where they're underfed and not given medical treatment, leading to high death rates from preventable diseases?

Or do you just love pretending being persecuted?
Absolutely. But if you have the option to join YC or some other US based accelerator you should probably jump at the opportunity.
As covered in other articles, that is exactly what they were doing previously.
It also ignores the most important diversity, which is diversity of thought. Having ten employees of ten different races who all think the same is hardly diversity.

EDIT: Getting downvoted by the 'diversity' crowd I see :)
What benefits are you expecting from the LLC that the C-Corp does not give you? Do you qualify to make an S-Corp election? An LLC can be taxed as a sole-proprietorship if there is only one owner,also called a single-member LLC. If there is more than one owner, a multi-member LLC, partnership taxation as a general partnership is the default. The multi-member LLC may elect to be taxed as a C-corp or as an S-corp. So, the question. What are you trying to achieve?
Are you taking about Canada?
Sounds like a great way to prod those specialized communities to bail to the next diggredditetc.

People are going to those specialized communities to get real information from real users, not lies and misinformation (ads and marketing).
The racism and division was being intentionally enflamed the past few years. Muslims being banned from the US (until the courts shot it down). Anti-immigrant rhetoric. "Build the wall." "When the looting starts, the shooting starts." It's easy to have a short memory nowadays, but you're taking something that's local temporally and acting like it was always this way.
> Is your point that the mods don't have all these blacklists (including of words),

Of course moderators have blacklists. For words / phrases / domains, they are site sanctioned through the (now) built in function called "Automoderator".

User blacklists are done through the built in ban function.

In fact, one would call these blacklists... moderation. Something a moderator would be expected to do.

> the mods do have the blacklists but they're allowed and expected to?

They are built into the site. It would logically follow that it is both allowed and expected.

Stepping back, I'm not sure how you can expect a forum, any forum, to survive without moderation.

> Is the mod system working well, in your opinion?

This is really impossible to answer.

From the bird's eye view, users and impressions are growing while reddit doesn't have to pay for moderation. A stunning success.

From a lurker perspective, they never interact with moderators and generally get content that has been reviewed and determined to be within the rules, though this may vary by subreddit.

From an active user perspective, the system may work well, or not well, depending on which subreddit(s) you frequent and how you use the platform. There are many subreddits, and moderators on some may certainly make your life unpleasant. So... don't be active on those subreddits.

However, the number of active users, according to the 90-9-1 principle is quite small, and the number of those that ever meaningfully interact with a moderator, or even a bot moderator, are probably a magnitude smaller than that.

So yes, IMO, the mod system seems to work well overall.
I've started to add +Reddit in Google searches to obtain useful information when I need to know something. With all those fake top 10 list sites and paid reviews showing up in searches, Reddit is pretty much the only place left for getting reliable product information, for example. There are friendly and knowledgeable subreddits about all kinds of topics.

An example of what lineage would look like is the following: You have source tables A and B that are joined to create a model C and then C is used in dashboard D. We are able to infer the lineage A->C->D and B->C->D.

We extract lineage in a couple of different ways. The main way is by parsing SQL queries in your data warehouse to determine which tables and dashboards are upstream/downstream. The other way we extract lineage information provided directly from dbt and BigQuery who have nice APIs for this information.

We are working releasing an API in Q4 that supports pushing information from say an Airflow DAG to Secoda to give us more lineage context. Hopefully this answers your questions.
I didn't have the original pumps, but I wanted a pair growing up. In '05 or '06 when they did a re-release I got a pair of the Pump 2.0s.

Never meet your heroes. Maybe the 2.0s were a different design, but they were incredibly disappointing. The pump pretty much didn't do anything. You could pump them while wearing them and not feel anything.
I think the main difference between you and OP, is your optimism and OP's cynicism are opposite.
Just a note that the data has been released.
That breaks (perfectly legitimate) REIT's, though.
Thanks - I couldn't have said it better.
That’s a highly charitable take on what private equity actually does with legacy businesses.

In reality they feast on them like bloodsucking leaches. The usual playbook is to load the companies down with as much debt as they possibly can, and use the loan proceeds to pay themselves lucrative fees and dividends. Then they cut expenses to the core and demolish the quality of the product or service and see how long it takes people who aren’t paying attention to realize that the 100 year old brand with a reputation for quality doesn’t really exist any more.

Once that’s done they leave the loan underwriters and current employees holding the bag and abscond to a vacation destination of their choice with the money and discuss their next target over Aperol spritzers.
Well, i'm indian, and I was told by a college professor in a history of immigration class that I am white because I believe in things like hard-work to better my family's situation, education, etc. The book he had us read was all about how different races got 'whitened', and he was convinced Indians are being 'whitened'.

Let's just sit here and consider for a minute the inherent racism in referring to anyone being rich as having the quality of 'being white'.

Build an integrated market, initially aimed at competing with Craigslist, and maybe expanded to target other markets later (Ebay, etsy, etc). Craigslist first because its similarly simple UI and design is the easiest to recreate within Reddit.

There's tons of subreddits for connecting buyers and sellers of niche goods, but the actual buying and selling has to happen elsewhere. It's stupid that Reddit hasn't capitalized on that yet.
I'm not moving goal posts at all, I'm simply giving you concrete examples of things you cannot accomplish as well under full-remote. I never said you can't be a fully remote code monkey, and you may be surprised to find out that the "best people" aren't code monkeys.

> but the bottom line is companies that permit remote work are going to get the best talent, from all over the world, and those companies are going to blow the ones that does not allow remote work, right out of the water...

That's just simply not true. Plenty of companies have been allowing remote work since way before the Pandemics and no, they have not blown FAANG companies "right tout of the water".

The best people care most about the project they work on and the people they work with and also the compensation, only a very small percentage of people put remote work as their number 1 criteria when push comes to shove.

In fact, I know a ton of brilliant and driven people planning to leave remote-only companies because they prefer a different work environment. All the internal polls from everywhere I've seen states that vast majority of employees do not want full remote.
First season is worth a watch IMO. It handles topics addressed by the movie in greater depth (sentient robots, a bit like the story of Pinocchio).

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,"

People can be forgiven for thinking this quote by MLK Jr. advocates colorblindness because that's exactly what it seems to say. It is only when you apply a scholarly interpretation do you arrive at his words being used "in the exact opposite way they were intended".

This strikes me of "Yes, well it says 'Defund the Police' but what it actually means is.."
No idea as well why you’re getting downvoted. I work in a big tech company where some employees’ sole role of existence is pushing diversity & inclusion and preach wokeness, with the blessings of HR of course.
I agree with most of what you say, but I thought most of the usage was now on the mobile app?

By most, I mean the vast majority (hence my perplexion and need to comment and confirm my understanding)
I started to write a similar reply, got distracted, and by the time I turned back I assumed someone would have written it (and you had!).

There's a ton of biases in tech, and it's possible for that to result in complex situations like the ones we see. If you largely prefer hiring people from a small number of universities, and those universities are largely white, asian, and/or male - you're going to have a very non-diverse population even if you have a lot of immigrants. If you interview people in a particular way that is optimized for a specific style of education, people who did not experience that same education are going to be at a disadvantage. Similarly, if you primarily hire people in an area that is not particularly diverse, you're going to end up with a very non-diverse employee base.

None of this is to say that everyone is a racist or that there's no way for a minority to be successful in big tech, it's just that the structural systems in place work against them. The odds are longer and the hurdles higher.

If you look at some of the things that big tech companies are doing to address that - heavily recruiting at schools with large minority student bodies, helping to build curriculums to help those students perform well on interviews, and even opening offices in places where there is greater diversity - you're trying to remove some of those structural hurdles. I remembered this article from a long time ago that I was able to track down:

https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-howard-university-co...

It's got great details on how hard some of these challenges can be to address, and looking back on it, things have gotten better. But why is it such a problem to say that there's more to be done?

I think that once a sub attracts a large amount of readers, it's unethical to block certain conversations.

I started a job last November. Within the first hour they said here is your Linux Academy account, go learn some stuff. Which I have.

Heck last year I paid out of my own pocket to take the two introduction to VMware classes, despite working with VMware 2006. Why did I take the classes. VMware has come out with a lot of new features in the past 5 years and I have not been able to use them all professionally. Also in taking the class I found that some the limitations that existed in earlier versions of the software no longer existed. I had no idea that I was no longer following best practices. Plus there was the stuff that I had flat out forgotten along the way. It was well worth the $400 that I spent.

As long as they are asking you to do this during working hours and they are paying for it, I don't see why you are so upset. You say you are at minimum competent with the skill, maybe they are wanting to make you into an expert in the skill and part of that is getting you the extra training.
One logical conclusion of systems like this is that modifying your device in any "unauthorized" way becomes suspicious because you might be trying to evade CSAM detection. So much for jail-breaking and right to repair!

> On a slightly different topic: I don't really understand the physics of why electrons don't collapse into the positive nucleus, since positives and negatives should attract.

Good question- this was a clear and troubling problem in the classical atomic models before quantum mechanics. Thinking of electrons as little balls whizzing around, being attracted and repelled by various field forces does seem to lend itself to this question.

The current understanding is that since electrons are quantum particles, they can only gain or lose energy through quantized packets, and can only occupy certain energy states. In fact, it's much more accurate to describe electrons by their probability fields, and not as those little balls. Quantum mechanics then describes probability shells called Sommerfeld orbits, where the chance of finding an electron at any given point peaks. Unless energy is added or removed from the system by those aformentioned quantized packets, electrons tend to remain at their respective energy levels and shells.

I don't know how disruptive this will be, but there are many much better options to authenticate against github besides a password.
So they're taking financing under scrutiny from the SEC, in a round lead by Fidelity. Where's the elicit money that they're trying to turn legitimate?
tldr Git SSH protocol will still support authentication via username:password but in this case, the "password" can no longer be your Github Account password, but it can be a Personal Access Token.

So no need to panic if you've been using a build system or other tool that authenticates with username:token instead of a SSH key.
I’m a visually impaired individual with moderate disability — I can use tools like custom typefaces and zooming to manage most of my needs but I rarely use screen readers as well.

Personally, the main difficulty I have with the typeface is the kerning — the minimum space between two letters. I don’t know how these things are measured, if it really is as tight as it looks, but subjectively it feels like surprisingly little space. It’s much harder for me to read than Neue Helvetica.
There is no alternative. Eventually Colossus and Guardian will have full control of everything.
I have a noob question: what's the right way to use these tokens without password managers? I believe Github recommended assigning it as an environment variable in docs related to this deprecation, but isn't a (managed) server free to log the output of `echo $token`?
For me it's the worst of both worlds - e2ee has no meaning if the ends are permanently compromised - and there's no local vs cloud separation anymore which you can use to delineate what is under your own control - nothing's under your control.
