Seems like a pretty arbitrary line to draw, especially phone vs camera. Modern cameras have software assisting too. Strikes me as gatekeeping, but you're welcome to your opinion.

I had two jobs last year shooting video for my country's national tourism authority - I shot half with my phone, and half with a tiny gimbal camera (Osmo Pocket) that uses the phone as the monitor/display/interface. I got paid, got two holidays, and the content went out to several million people. I'm perfectly OK with being someone who (amongst multiple cameras, four drones, etc) "also just uses their phone". :)
This is a good counterexample to those who believe that atheists arrive at their position through "good epistemology." Some atheists can be ideologically in lock-step with anti-science and conspiracy theorist movements often attributed to being a problem for only the religious. Atheism != rationalism or even naturalism.
I hope she receives the same sentencing a male would get if he was guilty of the same.
No one said anything like there being “486 toddler gun deaths”. Much less that many deaths caused by a toddler firing a gun, which was the original subject.
Yes, we had tried those and also prescription mupirocin and none had worked by themselves. We wound up having to lance the infection on her finger daily and treat it with the mupirocin for a couple of weeks. Her whole hand was in a bandage for that time, and some of the doctors were telling us she might lose part of her finger if it wasn't treated.

I just looked at your blog. You quit shortly after I started.

My home Internet connection is through Los Alamos Network.

I believe that the Carson Electric Co-Op in Taos uses REDInet to provide an Internet option to their customers.

I heard for years that the San Ildefonso prevented us from connecting to REDInet. Then Alan told me that he and Comcast and everyone else buys capacity on the link that Lumen operates for LANL.

We need a someone employed by Los Alamos County who knows what's going on.
Can a company in CA terminate employment for an employee on long term disability like stage 4 cancer after a certain period of time?
I dunno... Worked for Twitch. Subscribe to a channel and no ads on their channel. They even used to offer an option to get no ads at all called turbo but Amazon canned that AFAIK.
They weren't required to get any other vaccinations when they enlisted?
Specialization & experience are good. So are more people. If finding a marketing or "business" partner for starting your project is your blocker, just learn it yourself.

Sure you could get outcompeted but honestly, if one person gets outcompeted, in almost all circumstances so will 2 people.
Adam Neuman is every bit the fraudster Elizbeth Holmes is, he just wasn't in a regulated industry. He repeatedly fabricated fake financials and fradulent books to trick investors. His victims (private equity) mostly realized it was a scam and played a huge game of ponzi scheme until, for reasons that seem particularly murky, softbank made them all whole. No one had any illusions once Neuman starting cashing out his own positions in 2015.
the blm agitator that was wearing a MAGA hat and was interviewed by cnn was on camera saying he had a knive on him. I think another guy that also turned out to be a disguised democrat had a stun gun. kind of awkward considering the narrative but it is what it is

Do you still have the nonworking computer? Might be a fun project for a rainy weekend.
This is precisely why municipalities are permitted to impose exactions on a project--so that developers can't unfairly offload infrastructure costs on the public. If the additional sewage volume of a project is going to overflow pipes 5 miles away, municipalities can and regularly do exact fees as a condition of approval to cover the costs of upgrades.

Unfortunately, these days exactions are also abusively imposed to offset the supposed costs of "gentrification" and other unquantifiable social phenomena, and sometimes the dollar value of such imaginary costs conspicuously set so high as to make a development financially unviable. This is how cities like SF force developers to include below-market-rate units or to make cash contributions to low-income housing projects, even when a project is not actually displacing any pre-existing tenants.

The missing verse from Leonard Cohen's song 'Lover'
It works on that generation of machines, but when I was young I carried that philosophy into learning Unix in the early 90s, and some of the results weren't as positive. It was a net positive, though.
Which is also something that you rarely feel in daily life, although it does certainly have impact on society (mainly in terms of a period of mandatory army service for young men, similar to many European countries). I'd say the War on Terror or the Cold War had a lot more presence in the US.
you are literally measuring a person on their familiarity with a tool and not general problem solving aptitude, people with high problem solving aptitude can learn tools needed for a job pretty fast.

Vermont has fairly permissive guns laws, no permit necessary to buy and carry an assault weapon. murder rate is 1.8, vs 3.0 in Europe.

What is it about Vermont, where you can walk around with concealed assault weapons, that makes it safer than "Europe"?

Czech Republic is an exception, it's a shall issue European country. The majority of gun owners also have concealed carry permits. Homicide rate is very low, only 0.9.

Why?

"the homicide rate in Europe was 3.0 per 100,000 population." - https://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/gsh/Bookle...

https://vermontbiz.com/news/2019/october/23/vermont-has-3rd-...

"Vermont Business Magazine Vermont reported the 3rd lowest murder rate (1.8) compared to other states. This was 3.1 points below the national average of 4.9 homicides per 100,000 individuals, according to a new report from safewise.com(link is external). In fact, the three states from Northern New England had the lowest murder rates."

I've worked at two tech companies with "unlimited PTO" and both have extremely strict reporting and request processes that prevent using it, even with months of notice. The worst instances were when PTO was approved well in advance, and then revoked too late to change plans, making it actually _cost_ me money.

The other two tech companies I've worked at had officially limited, roll-over PTO that accumulates with experience, and both had "honor system" reporting that allowed us to take more than that if we needed it for emergencies, as long as we kept people affected by it in the loop and made an effort to hand off any impacted work.

Naturally, the latter was the vastly better experience, and my unused PTO paid out to me when I left both jobs, unlike the unlimited PTO company.
> you might guess that people would be dropping like flies. But the U.S. murder rate is not all that remarkable, really. Murder is not a major concern outside of a handful of dangerous areas.

In the US. But look at the effect it has on your neighbours. The most violent and dangerous countries in the world are in Central America, and that is a direct result of the US being awash with guns.
Thank you, verdverm. That was sort of my calculus on $45k/month. It is an interesting point though - these companies will hem and haw over $20k but will not blink an eye at $2m. Thanks again.
I really didnt need to know you live of the wrong side of the 24x7 oncall employment curve.

But now that I do, i still have no interest in anything you think you know, you sound like the kind of dev I could replace with a 14 year old on $2 an hour.
Were all the frequent ads and articles about second-hand smoke over the last 2 decades or so being alarmist?
I've always thought of the Left as authoritarian. It goes with the whole big government thing. Especially lately the left wing governors have really been handing out a lot of mandates.
Any technical analysis of the hack yet? How'd they get in?
There were other reasons too I didn't bother mentioning. The 4G network sometimes spontaneously disappeared,
and my GPS would also be extremely inconsistent, dropping out most of the time. Very weird behavior.
Regulations on whom? If I don't want to make an Android app, I won't. Last I checked, Apple's App Store brings in more money with a smaller user base (unsure if this still holds). Maybe Android could try making the experience better or more lucrative for developers?
Seems like a win / win to me. An investor like Linus would bring a lot to the table.
> This comment is so antithetical to the "spirit of the internet" and hacking in general that I'm in shock

There is no such thing as spirit of the internet and hacking in general.

And never ever was. It was always range of attitudes and approaches. From the get go, with massive assholes thrown into mix seeking to damage for luls, with elitists, with gatekeepers and what not.

LOL. How much should her sex protect her from creating a fraudulent diagnostic product that could lead to the deaths of patients? Women get a much easier pass in the criminal justice system, typically.
Many quacks and grifters have PhD. Youtube would had to actually verify content.
That's really interesting, I feel like I've experienced the opposite, most people I know have had some kind of interaction with the "hand of government" in some way, if not themselves then second hand. At least in the US with our incarceration rates, statistically it's still more likely that any given person knows someone who is in prison than knowing someone who has died from COVID-19. And COVID-19 has killed a lot of people.

Also maybe you might want to help by explaining to them: it's not the government that was doing those things, it's the virus that was making it so they can’t buy something, they they have to wear a mask, they have to inject something in their body, they can’t go to a concert, etc. The government can only enforce the will of the people, which in this case happens to be fear of an unprecedented attack by a deadly virus. It's totally understandable that this type of global pandemic would be new and remarkable for a lot of people.
A lot of people were never taught how to learn, nor was learning well-modeled in their family. There are a lot of awful schools out there and a lot of dysfunctional families. A lot of people don’t have much chance. IMO a fault of the commons; it takes a community to raise a child.
The difference is that the left's entire shtick is about not being 'prejudiced' against individuals because of their group identities.

I.e. not assuming they have slimy, horrible negative personal qualities because of the group they belong to.

When this is your 'thing' and main claim to legitimacy, it hits harder when you're hypocritical about it.
That’s not necessarily true. I just got hired by <Megacorp>. I don’t have any reason to think I was pre-screened at all.

The whole thing seemed very responsible. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a secret thing, but IDK, some things just work like they say.

I can’t see it coming up in a background check, since I get the results and a chance to defend myself, but who knows? If / when I got “filtered”, it would probably be later in the process. At some point, we did talk about past employers and why you left… really seem to remember nothing until an offer was extended.

I was actually quite surprised by how responsible they were (at a surface level at least).
It looks like the Sinclair Scientific sells on eBay for about $45, but there aren't any for sale right now. The Curta, on the other hand, goes for over $1000, so not exactly an impulse purchase.
It will be ready by 2040 with unknown cost. What a fantastic plan.

Leaving that aside why are stealth submarines still important? I mean autonomous barges seem to be already a thing at spacex. The ocean is so vast, isnt it possible (and cheaper) to just send out 100 carrying 2 missles randomly moving around. If China does anything dumb launch a few.
While I was at HubSpot during the initial rollout of their infamous $30k developer referral program, I remember one person getting a referral, paying out the $30k, and then taking PTO until they quit 90 days later. The developer who was recruited was already set from a previous equity cashout and had effectively retired.

Both programs got dramatically reformed after that, though naturally retrospective profiles of the program give it a much shinier glow.
I can't wait for Windows 11, because it means Windows 10 will become blissfully boring. Security updates, game and driver support probably for years to come.
I'm not opposed to this. I'm all for a more open architecture. I think AMD's already got their foot in the door with regards to ARM, though. Moreover, ARM is already dominant in mobile- and low-power markets.

It'd be great if they also explored alternative (and more open/libre) architectures like OpenPOWER and RISC-V, but I feel like they're not headed in that direction at this time – not sure what that would buy them in comparison to ARM.

I think technical superiority has rarely been the deciding factor in architecture dominance – otherwise, x86 likely never would have dragged along this far.
LOL

Twitter lost its way, that's quite clear now.
Both seem to have reasonable Go SDK libraries, so it should be easy to create new plugins for them. I've added them to our internal backlog, but all our plugins are open source if you'd like to try building it yourself! The Linode plugin is a simple, similar example to use as a starting point [1]. We also have docs for writing plugins [2].

There are a few very significant cultural/economic differences between the USA and Canada/Austrial/NZ.

The biggest one is that only the USA has a legacy of slavery. The USA has much higher population density as well. The USA is also somewhat more economically unequal than the other 3. The USA is more diverse than any of the other 3, especially Canada and Australia.

These factors might play a role in gun violence.
> If there are possibly valid reasons, shouldn't we instead discuss those?

That's a matter of opinion, but since you asked me: no. Every discussion of single family zoning should start with its racist origins and go on to consider the negative racial and socioeconomic effects it's still having, and to hell with parking and the other selfish, greedy, petty, short-sighted, and/or misguided reasons for denying folks affordable housing.
They must have competitors. Make contact, get some names. If they try low ball you just go elsewhere. If they try game you. Go elsewhere. You set the standard your willing to accept not them.

Edit: Oi don't undersell yourself re your own confidence/ability, if you have solved a problem they have been trying to for years and with a fat budget your obviously doing something right. Hire a negotiator, might cost you some pennies now but if confidence and pushing a deal in your favours not your strong point hire someone for it.

Good luck!
5 weeks is 25 days and not at all uncommon in tech jobs, sadly.
Work for an Australian company, have those words in our core values.

Gun laws don't matter.

South Korea homicide rates are 300% higher than Czech Republic, which is a shall issue country, and most permits are for concealed carry.
thats actually less of an issue than it sounds for a jvm build that hasn't had a relevant and important security issue found for over a decade, is now open source and all the others found and fixed any time recently give better assurance over any recent code that hasnt had the same scrutiny.
Imagine saying something similar about written languages that are also spoken by humans.
>whoever writes the AI needs to be unbiased...)

I'm not sure the idea of a sentient being not having a bias is meaningful. Reality, once you get past the trivial bits, is subjective.
Just last year all the living former Secretaries of Defense penned a letter addressed to those serving in the military reminding them of their duty to the Constitution, not to any political figure. That these experts thought it necessary and pertinent to do this extraordinary act suggests that, yes, there's strong likelihood that significant portions of the military would factionalize into separate camps if civil unrest reached a certain pitch.
I'm sure. And yes, we need to solve that problem too. But it's more like a spam folder than a deletion. Like someone else on HN pointed out, "label, not remove"
> people need to trust science because the average person doesn't have the scientific background necessary, much less the time, to evaluate the accuracy of everything scientific they deal with - especially in the realm of medicine

People need to be given the information they need to make informed decisions on topics that impact them. I don't have the time or inclination to figure out if the levels of heavy metal exposure for welders in the third world are dangerous or not because it doesn't impact me. I have plenty of time to figure out if any chronic disease I get has promising treatments that haven't been approved yet. For the doctor it's a matter of a 9 to 5 job, for me it's a lot more urgent.

I just look at sci-hub and the citation web of any papers I find there.

You're saying that the solution to having an ignorant population is to make them even more ignorant for their own good. That is the type of thinking that got us the dark ages.
Its exciting to see a hint of something from xenon1t. For many years these ultra low background dark matter experiments have been in a loop of measuring 0, setting a limit, then coming out with a more sensitive version of the experiment and repeating. It will be quite exciting if it doesn't turn out to be background and is seen in other devices.

The next version of this detector is called XENONnT and will have closer to 8 tons of xenon plus lower background. It's being built now. In these kinds of experiments the detection volume is typically position sensitive, which allows for events closer to the outside to be thrown out, as they are more likely to be caused by background. This self-shielding effect lowers effective background just by adding more material.
Your "logic" is missing the minor detail of required precognition. I didn't start buying personal property ("renters") insurance in the 1980s because I knew I'd need it decades later.
They actually released support for retrying failed stack updates the other week: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-for-aws-cloudformation-...
I don't see it as a perennial problem. It's a new problem in the digital realm, given that computers are still generally new in the big scheme of things.

The long term optimal solution seems to be an open source, decentralized platform where things are labeled/filtered, but not removed.
Canada might watch the same TV as the US, but criminal laws and attitudes/views/gun laws are VERY different.
It's not really possible to move quick and break things, there are only so many home builders, carpenters, electricians, plumbers ect. I agree that failing infrastructure can absolutely have disastrous impacts but city councils in America are not run by the most competent people with decent foresight from what I have seen, they see that a bus route runs 95% capacity every morning at 9am, do nothing, a few months later, it's 105%, people start complaining, then they add another bus during that period and repeat the cycle. The only time I have seen infrastructure be built in advance of new housing is when a construction builds the infrastructure along with a new suburban housing development, which is great for the first 30 years, the taxes on those new houses only needs to be like 3k/year for police/fire/ect because everything is new, except after 30 years then the roads need to be repaved, sewers redone, ect, a 10k+/yr bill starts hitting and the local government is all confused about how to pay for it with the 3k/yr they are collecting, rinse, repeat. Local governments just aren't good at predicting usages until they happen.
Forming habits by taking advantage of the consistency and commitment biases
> Similar case for New Zealand - they have a capacity of less than 250 ICU beds for COVID for 5 million people. The risks are much, much worse if the outbreak spreads.

NZ has had sustained mass immigration for years, and the population grows incredibly fast. All the infrastructure is designed for a country with 80% of the population level we have now, and I don't see it getting better.
Your inability to deal with physical violence is not a useful anecdote.
I worked for a company for 2+ years where I was good enough to get two pay raises above the norm and one promotion. Until one day, I was given a stack of resumes and told to review them and reject all of them for some reason (so a couple of H1B engineers could get a Green Card). I refused and found myself being let go about six weeks after. They offered me severance and I consulted a employment lawyer who just shook his head and said my best bet was to just take the severance as no lawyer could take this case on a contingency basis and even hiring him would possibly make me unemployable in my field. When windmills can shred you no point in tilting at them. You can't pay your hospital bills and mortgage with principles.

You don't need to bribe devs if you can wall in the customers.
