Using #3 could land you in jail indefinitely in the UK I believe: if they don’t believe you forgot the password, they can interpret that as a refusal to give them the password (or unlock the computer), and jail you for this… until you give them the password.

Which you can’t, because there is no password at this point. So either you admit that you just wiped your computer with the panic password, or you can shut up and rot in jail until you die.

You need a way to make them believe you. Covertly wiping your computer is probably not going to end well.

Out driving in North Carolina in what are seemingly "traditional rural" settings in the middle of nowhere I'll often come across signs reading "llanteria" (tire shop) or "Iglesia Evangélica" (Evangelical Church) in Spanish. At this point immigrants have reached most parts of the southeast U.S., rural and urban. BTW if you're ever in Hickory, NC there's a great Hmong restaurant with the hilarious name Duck 'n' Good Food.

I used it in a global telecoms company about 15 years or so. We had all the bells and whistles dynamic snapshots FS integration etc and I found the experience very underwhelming. Clunky and brittle and it never felt fully transparent and for all that we had to do a whole heap of training to learn to use it anyway. Subversion when I came to it was a step up, but still felt a little brittle and they kept on changing things between releases. For all its warts git is simply the best tool in common use. Fast, reliable and probably about as hard to learn as any of the other options if you’re just sticking to the basic usecases.

Not everyone doing webdev is competing to get a job or gig as a webdev. There are people who makes their own sites for various purposes, i.e. they are their own webdev customers. And if you're suggesting these people to "require more", it looks to me you start to meddle with how they run their business (which might benefit from your suggestions, but also maybe not).

The author is essentially saying that being asked to use respectful language makes her university administrator Joseph Stalin. Cherry-picking a few examples, stating "I am not personally offended by these so obviously no one could be", and using that to claim "Social Justice (note the capitals) has gone TOO FAR", does not a good argument make.

Thanks! I do have plans to eventually charge for organization repos, but I need more installs to list a paid plan in the Github App store. So it's free forever for anyone who signs up now.

You can restrict the permissions to just one repository when you authorize the app. There should be a radio button for "All apps" or "Selected Apps". If you select the second one, you can pick the repos where to install it.
They are distinct values but they compare equal. For almost all uses they are effectively equal, except where you are producing infinities.

Any title will change the state of the reader's mind. The question is what is the split of benefits or harms between the reader and the writer. This goes beyond Youtube, and even interactions motivated by money.

This is an area where I was initially very bothered, but over time have arrived at the opinion that it is very nuanced, and that things like this can be incredibly positive.

If I go to the grocery store, they have a display of fruit, and I decide to buy a few, I have been manipulated. They were motivated by profit (sell more fruit). This required consuming some of my attention (I had intended to go to the store and buy different items). However, both I (yummy healthy fruit) and the grocery store (money to owners, employees, suppliers) benefit from this interaction.

There are other types of interactions where one or more parties are negatively affected in the sum of the overall interaction. This are obviously bad, but are besides the point.

If someone has a product with the highest value for the opportunity cost, I want to be manipulated into using it. However I also want to avoid manipulation where I gain little, zero, or negative benefit. It's a complicated problem, and I have found that the maximum benefit to me (and everyone involved) sits squarely (and very annoyingly) in the grey area.

As for Veritasium, I have watched his videos for roughly a decade. Any video of his in my subscription feed is going to be watched. Any increase in viewership which allows him to increase his budget and quality only benefits me, provided he's behaving ethically. I see from this video that he's examining the problem and at least trying to be ethical, which I appreciate.
Bah! Just square & take the square root!

Ask HN: How do I find a great freelance UX designer?
I've got an application in development. It's currently in a small private beta. Most of the functionality has been implemented, but I've already gotten feedback from users that it's hard to intuit how to use the advanced features.

I want to enlist the help of a UX designer, and since I'm potentially going to be doing a lot of work based on whatever they come up with, I want to find someone good.

I know HN runs a monthly freelancer thread, and I'm familiar with Upwork. Anywhere else I should be looking? Any other advice?
I agree about your latter example, but about your first example: isn't it the case that these faulty AI systems for medical diagnosis have been rejected? Doctors don't like them because they don't want to be replaced or one-upped, and because they just don't trust them (rightly so, as it turns out). So the systems, which were put out for use on a trial basis, don't get used.
The question is whether that last technique, of just flipping the sign bit, handles NaNs and infinities.

Use a MacBook if you have to. Don't use one if you don't have to and don't want to.

Sounds like hobbies mixing with work. Try to stay out of it. If your current environment is indeed toxic, look for another one.

Up to them. Leave it to management to determine if that's a problem and then take action.

Again, up to management to sort out.

> Spending lot of money at Barber's and for avocado toasts, complaining about no money for rent

If they want to spend dollar on fresh cuts and avocado toast that's up to them. Not your problem, or your business!

Facts aside, I understand where you're coming from. It sounds like you feel out of place, and that's a bit rubbish. Not much you can do aside from:

- Join them! Get a fresh cut, eat avocado toast, and embrace the MacBook.

- or, find a different environment where you are a better fit.

- or, continue feeling like an outsider at work.

Remember - work doesn't have to be a second home. A job's a job's a job's a job.
Thankfully he didn't propose XML. Unfortunately it looks like he (and many others) really thinks that JSON is better, even if it's underspecified, thus leading to possible insecurities. See the recent jsonsec thread. (Undefined key ordering and duplicate handling)

This is the crux of the divide in the Western world. I vehemently disagree with Krugman but I like how he was able to summarize it all into one place.

The notion of taking "your shots" is anti-freedom as it implies someone or some organization defines what shots I must take.

Vaccines are great because they are effective, not because they are encouraged or mandated by institutions!

These are all just tools that can just as easily be used for good as evil. You choose to look at the negative possibilities while ignoring the positive ones. As an example, if we're all tracked and recorded in public that will pretty much end non-domestic crime. Or at least guarantee that anyone that commits a crime will be caught and punished.

AFAICT there's little to no evidence to tie advancing technology to authoritarianism or otherwise diminished civil liberties.

Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and any number of others through out history have created repressive regimes without modern technology. And in the West we are a freer and more just society than we ever have been.
Possibly, though the location of the stops might matter more (ie the Berlin route might be a greater mileage but less direct). The change over likely doesn’t help either.
I'm really curious how a managerial hierarchy of 40 works in practice. If a manager is responsible for a headcount of 2 then GE would have 2^40 = ~1 trillion employees. Since this is obviously not possible then what does the org chart of a firm with 40 levels of hierarchy look like.
And yet somehow hedge funds exist to look for $20 bills in streets.

> Credible threats and defamation are legally defined and can have criminal or civil consequences.
Lies, yes. People are free to utter them.

Credible threats and defamation are legally defined and have criminal or civil consequences because we recognize that they overtly cause harm. Fraud too. What in your mind is the fundamental difference between causing harm by defamation, which is literally just lying in a particular context, and causing overt harm by other kinds of lying? In order to credibly differentiate them, saying that one is ok and the other is not ok, we must have some distinguishing essential characteristic. Significantly broader categories of lying definitely and overtly cause harm, so what to your mind brings a moral imperative to allow one but not the other?
My insurance rates have never risen (I was in my last house for 17 years). You might need to look into a different insurance company.

Property taxes do go up, but they haven’t gone up too much. Again, in my last house they went from $2500 to $3750 over 17 years.
I have found that I have my best (and worst) ideas by changing mental states. For example I’m usually sober so when I’m intoxicated I usually have garbage ideas, but every now and then I think of something truly incredible/useful that I would never have had insight into sober. The same applies to being sleep deprived, it leads me into a different mental headspace where I can think differently than normal (though I try to avoid being sleep deprived cause it’s miserable)
That's not the sense in which I find "data are a liability" to be useful.

Double-entry bookkeeping records transactions as debits and credits to different entities.

"Data are a liability* is a recognition that whilst there may be a positive value to data, there is also a probabalistic negative value, especially in the event of unauthorised access or disclosure. That's not a double-entry value, where debits equal credits, it's an independent value, independent of the asset value, dependent on the nature of the data, the type of disclosure, the subject of the data, and the identity of the actor(s) who gain access to the information.

The role is the same as that of any other business liability risk. And again, is independent of the asset value.

As with other liabilities, the actual extent and probability of the liability-based cost is often unclear, and may change with time, particularly as the environment changes.
I don’t deny the link. I worked with a programmer/mathematician who would just start ambling about the office without any mission when deep in thought. I think that in his case the thinking actually drives the walking instead of vice versa.

>Oppezzo designed an elegant experiment. A group of Stanford students were asked to list as many creative uses for common objects as they could. A Frisbee, for example, can be used as a dog toy, but it can also be used as a hat, a plate, a bird bath, or a small shovel. The more novel uses a student listed, the higher the creativity score. Half the students sat for an hour before they were given their test. The others walked on a treadmill.

>The results were staggering. Creativity scores improved by 60 percent after a walk.

With everything in the news about reproducibility and doctored data, this seems too staggering to believe. Has this study been tried again?

This really only holds if you think governments have to force people to use electric cars by x date to be competitive.

Investing in the infrastructure needed for mass adoption of fully electric cars is the true national-level barrier. And that's going to take a long time.

We've only just scratched the surface in how much charging power it's going to require... for ex: the vast majority of people living in apartment buildings will be left out without massive private investment in their parking lots.

Otherwise I'm pretty confident that Toyota, Honda, Nissan, etc can figure out how to make entire fleets of fully electric cars when the time is right.
there can only be one spy now.
I would like if it were the case that fossil fuels where being phased out overall. A steady decline that matched the existing phase out of fossil fuels in the transport sector would be excellent.

The reason why I don't think that is the case is several. electricitymap.org is one, which goes brown when the wind is calm and green during gales. As much capacity that renewables has, when they don't produce we see the same demand being fulfilled with fossil fueled power.

A second reason is subsidize numbers in EU. The amount of tax money being spent on fossil fuels are one of the more depressing aspects of the energy sector, and seemingly counter-productive to the political message. There also seems to be a strategy that when there is an increase in the capacity of renewable energy, the amount of tax money being spent on grid stability get increased. That money then goes directly to keep fossil fueled power plants operational between dips in the availability of renewable energy. That subsidy is also a reason why the higher costs of gas and oil does not result in stations being phased out.

If there was a date where new construction of fossil fueled power plants was to be banned, the energy sector would have a finite period to find a solution to the grid stability problem that does not include fossil fuels. The only incentive without it is government interest to pay less subsidies, and companies desire to undercut the current suppliers for grid stability. I doubt however either is very good at creating the change we need at the speed that global warming require.
Hum, I beg to differ. I write small utilities with web frontends that run on my PC's local apache using CGI. A couple of devs from my team and I are the only persons susceptible to run them, and it's plenty fast enough.

Even for a web-facing tool, as long as it doesn't receive more than a couple requests per second CGI is good enough, and that probably represents most web apps in existence. YAGNI principle applies, too. Most people don't work at Google of Facebook or hyper-scaling startups. A fantastic number of real-world development consists in building boring web front-ends for in-house use of random companies; and 99% of accounting forms or support tickets won't require huge performance, even running with CGI.
They know what they are told and that is enough for them. There is no incentive to open pandoras box.
What I never quite understand is how this can work in practice. When someone is under real duress, they do not always behave in a logical way and may be too stressed to remember certain details like a password that they never use...
