> It is pretty hard to organize 'Draw A Muhammad' workshop in non-muslim countries like Canada, UK or India. That tells you how less free those countries are.

Sorry, bub. I live in Canada, and you're extremely misinformed about the law here. It would not be hard to organize a "draw a Muhammad" event here. If Megan Murphy speaking at the Vancouver Public Library is any indication, you could even do it on government property, replete with security to keep you and the protesters away from eachother.

Or, change my mind. Show me the legal precedent where Canada jailed somebody for drawing Muhammad. I'm curious about the UK, India and Australia, too. But I'm calling bullshit on your claim about Canada.

The closest I've seen was a dude got fined for distributing hate speech targeting an individual. He couldn't afford to pay the fine, and that was the end of that.
That's the thing unfortunately there exist places where the opportunities to grow are non-existent because not every executive realize what you are bringing. And their n+1 will hear about conflicting opinions and make their mind about that. You and people you helped may not have enough political power to save your ass.
I think that depends on what other options are available and how well they work.

I don't have an NYT subscription to see if there's more detail in there, but I don't necessarily take every complaint at face value. It wouldn't surprise me - since this person was there for 6 years - if other accommodations were provided that many people would consider "reasonable" and a sign-language interpreter wasn't actually necessary to perform the job, but there's just long-lingering bitterness over not getting precisely the accommodation that was desired.
Well it's either 1. Beneficial for her career-wise or business-wise, 2. She sees it as a mutual learning experience where you can bond together, or 3. She is naturally curious and passionate about it and just needs some guidance.

There are many jobs that can be done through text communication alone (or close to 100% text). And the percentage of jobs for which this is true is probably increasing over time.

The fact is, many jobs are out of reach for most people. Standard disability is only one of many aspects of a person that makes them unsuitable for a particular job. Personality, intelligence, type and level of education, or physical strength/capability are another.
I understand what joke you are trying to make, but I would say the real problem here is the exact opposite: a lot of tweets that I see end up being more ambiguous because of the brevity and lack of context. So it seems what you describe is actually already happening and is one of the main problems with microblogging, and is probably what caused this person's tweet to get flagged.
I liked this quote from today's Kara Swisher NYTimes piece (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/17/opinion/facebook-instagra...):

> As The Times’s Kevin Roose noted on Twitter about Facebook’s reaction to the Journal pieces: “It’s just such a weird tactic. Like if Chipotle was getting criticized for having salmonella in its guac or whatever and the CEO’s response was like “well, scaled food production has had many benefits for humanity, including freeing us from being hunter-gatherers.”

It's a good point! It would be nice if Facebook actually addressed any of their issues instead of kind of hand-waiving them away with platitudes of, "yeah, well, we're really not all bad."
An unofficial, definitely don't tell management slack would have 1000s of users before the email prohibiting it managed to finish sending to all employees. Draconian policies seem viable and like they'd work, but they require a certain amount of compliance to be effective.

Let me know your experience. I will include in the article.
The moment anybody tried to organise armed resistance to the government, they would instantly be declared “terrorists” and taken out by legal means or by force. The US government agencies have such information supremacy that it is nearly impossible for any armed groups to organise without the government knowing about it.
That's a special subset that are generally seen as competent enough to see and hear more adult material in order to better prepare for adult life. So actually, there's a real argument to let them see a twitter joke like this. They have less overall protections than a child under 13 for a reason.
Yes, I agree. Trying to fit meaningful, full thoughts into 1xx characters is part of the problem.
Sounds interesting. Maybe this question would sound weird but how do you get an idea for a product? I mean in synth biology. Like. I think that I can produce this chemical with bacteria more simply/cheaply?
Yes, because in other languages things costs less body parts. In Spanish, for example things just costs an eye or a kidney.

Spanish -> literal translation

Me costó un ojo -> it costs me an eye

Me costó un riñón -> it costs me a kidney

It seems a bit nuts that people are chasing Standard Model extensions for dark energy but they haven't even resolved particle with gravity yet, or has there been recent advances?

I never heard of string theory being somewhat formally accepted. Hm, now they have things like "loop gravity". I guess they are still trying to crack that nut.

At least we can measure gravity in a local/controlled setting...

Next week the CDC’s ACIP is scheduled to meet to explore boosters as well. ACIP advises the CDC on whether it should recommend use of vaccines the FDA has approved, one might conclude that the timing of the meetings is premised on the FDA approving the Pfizer application, otherwise the CDC is in an awkward position.

The majority of Australians agree with the “oppressive” COVID lockdowns. Especially given how badly the US is handling it.
The popular-audience book Humankind by Rutger Bregman goes into the history of some of these classic experiments. In particular I was pretty shocked at how badly run the Stanford prison experiment was, and how lackluster and different the results were in the BBC's attempt to replicate. Granted, participants in that second experiment knew it would be televised, but that's not necessarily a recipe for good behavior, and they certainly engaged in conflict.

> Kinda reminiscent of what social media did to mainstream media --- everyone realised they were being fed a narrative and regimes changed throughout the world in an anti-establishment wave

In the US, at least, this doesn't seem to be the case. Mainstream media news - Fox, MSNBC, CNN, in order of popularity; ESPN, etc, for more niche news and events - still exists in the same form it did 20 years ago. Today's hot-button issues are what they were 20 years ago (abortion! guns! sexuality! activist judges! immigration! race!) with some new Covid-ones that are largely remixes of previously-simmering ones too like vaccines.

Some Fox viewers also have shifted more to further-right internet content, and some MSNBC/CNN viewers to further-left stuff... but neither of those changes are "rejecting a narrative," more "going where they can get even more of the one they like." I haven't seen a lot of talk of social media shifting Fox viewers to left-wingers, or the reverse!
That's vacuum tube territory.

I'm from another company quoted in a case study and can say the contrary overall.

It does require work to properly scale for a few thousand of people if you run it yourself but it provides a lot of values for our developers to get their work done and require less maintenance than other SCM/CI systems we had to maintain in the past.

And yet, all of those could be misinterpreted by someone who is not familiar with that.

>I'd be careful before invoking misunderstanding with theoretical groups of non-english speakers.

If you're being cautious (as is common for a large website to do) then this is totally backwards -- you would actually need to be careful with invoking understanding when it comes to theoretical groups of non-english speakers. You can't start by assuming that everything that is said is going to be understood perfectly (Though I really wish that was possible, it would make it a lot easier to teach math, physics, history, etc).
I think this does it the other way around. Now you can run Linux commands on your DOS server.
I suppose a broken clock is right twice a day.

When you look at the types of preventable misery inflicted by philosophical sympathizers, such as the Irish Famine, the banal evil of such a lazy train of thought kinda jumps out.
That is obvious sarcasm. I really think that Twitter is trusting too much on NLP for automating those checks and not humans. Because machines are particularly bad at grasping sarcasm.

Its funny, because if you report obvious self harm or violence content in Spanish Twitter does nothing (like vaccines don't work, inject chlorine yourself, kill the president, organize a coup).

Conscious beings must not be subject to these cruel experiments, or any experiments we wouldn't ourselves submit to.
I think we really need better terms. What is meant by software company in that whole discussion is actually two things (at least):

- companies for which software is the sold product (or its support, hosting...)

- companies selling a service or a product that requires inhouse made software

It could be argued that this second one could be split in two as the software may not be delivered directly to the client but the border is a bit blurry when it is a website/app platform like netflix.
I think when "suppressing employee communication" is part of your playbook, it's time to consider that the unrest might be warranted.
I just don't think the nature of the militia (or even the militia itself really) is particularly important for the second amendment.

The second amendment clearly states that the government does not have the power to infringe on the rights of citizens to keep and bear arms, and that would be true no matter how you changed the militia clause.

"A rag tag posse of unarmed thugs being unhelpful to the functioning of a monarchy, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

This places the exact same prohibition on the government's power to infringe the right to bear arms.
Always thought WSL was named backwards. This also.

"DOS Subsystem for Linux" sounds to me like something that runs a DOS environment in Linux. When it's actually the opposite.
This is completely unnecessary and I love it! Very cute method to make it work too - boot Linux and resume dos in unreal mode!
We are probably talking about two different 7% of people.

Your comment is also beside the point. Russia is likely no better than Estonia. It does not mean Estonia is not worse than other EU countries, including former members of USSR.

Yes, the charges were eventually dropped, but Walker spent a couple of months in jail. Taylor's killing was an extrajudicial execution, as her murderers weren't charged. Walker can't sue the cops, thanks to qualified immunity, but the cop he shot is suing him.

Error handling in Go is simple and verbose at the same time. Working in it alongside Python and JavaScript makes me rethink a lot of patterns I’m accustomed to - it’s a nice exercise. Though of course the use cases often vary significantly between the 3 languages so it is tough to even compare.
I am not a native English speaker. In fact, I learned English very late in life. And I don't think you have to pretend you are talking to the whole world all the time and restrict yourself to simple English.
Same with Reddit. Hell, same with IRL, in person communities.

Honestly, that realization is part of why I started commenting on message boards rather than lurking. The vast majority of people read but don't even bother to up/down vote. You have a lot of outsized influence if you choose to comment, even if it doesn't seem like your comments get much attention.

You're thinking of SS7, which is how international voice carriers interconnect (can also do SMS). SS7 was architected around a limited number of trusted participants (national monopoly carriers), but now there are a huge number of participants but there's no structural protection against abuse (although some carriers are able to address some abuses through ad-hoc means)

4G (LTE) at least has mutual authentication between the carrier and the user, so that's a meaningful security improvement.
Former professional racer here (USSR), former world champion (junior TTT).

The article describes a methodology (high volume, low intensity) commonly practiced by many teams in the USSR, especially my team who took it to the next level supported by a group of scientists and researchers.

Prior to hiring, every candidate (I'm talking about my team) went through intensive testing. A lot of guys (but not all) were sent home based on low VO2Max numbers.

I was 17 when I got a call and tested at low 60 VO2Max on my first test and was offered a ride. I came from a completely different training methodology based around short, high intensity intervals. Within a year, my VO2max moved to high 70 and eventually settled around 80- mid-80 depending on various factors during the season. I've seen this growth in others, sometimes even more dramatic.

To give you an idea, we clocked around 40,000 km per year of mostly low intensity training. A typical training day was made up of 3 rides: 40 km in the morning before breakfast, 3-5 hour ride (depending on the cycle) after breakfast, and another 40 km ride in the late afternoon. We lived on the bikes 11 months a year.

We were often told to pull out of dog fights on the climbs during a race to keep that low intensity in check and just ride tempo far away from threshold (although we used heart rate monitors in training, crude, early version of them, this wasn't possible in a race because the signal was sent to a team car, nothing was displayed on a bike). Not knowing your exact heart rate, we had to go by feel and to this day I can quite accurately tell what my heart rate is at different level of intensity.

For high intensity work, we practiced 20-25 km intervals at race or somewhat higher than race pace intensity, usually 4 or 5 of them per session, pretty much mimicking a 100 km TTT which is what our specialty was at the time (Olympic gold was important for propaganda).

In 8 years of its existence, that team went from an unknown startup to delivering several world champions. When the Soviet Union collapsed, those who survived the crash managed to make it to the west and raced in pro peloton. One guy in particular, my former teammate, did well in the Giro and the Tour. Others, who went through the similar system, went on to win Grand Tours and major Classics.

That is to say - the methodology has merit even though a lot of literature suggests a different kind of training.
> For some age groups (Table 4), the vaccinated are more likely to be infected than the unvaccinated.

This is some great lying with statistics. The age ranges you're referencing are groups in which the unvaccinated group is much smaller, insanely small comparatively. Of course a group with almost no people are going to show a reduced rate. You'd find a similar ratio if I took 50k people and split them by whether their name was Steve and then measured the likelihood that either group got covid. The Steve group is definitely going to have a lower rate.
Ask HN: Partnering with Chinese cofounders as a US citizen?
Can anyone comment on whether or not it makes sense to work as a US cofounder on a company based in China? Is it even doable? Do Chinese cofounders even want to work with US partners?
I think you substantially underestimate how difficult it would be to come up with something “better” that can do everything HTTP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript can do. You are talking about the most successful global information system in existence. Outcompeting all other proposals/competitors. Good luck with that one.

Hi,
How did you manage to get them to pay you hourly to create a project plan?
What did you propose? I also need to do this for my venture but never clicks. Please share some advice.
Thank you.
Your message changed my mind on this. Not because one person can negotiate better. Because the package of the two provide a different energy.

People feel more comfortable in groups and more pressured one on one. The interpreter is seen as neutral but an upstanding person. Grouping the three presents a natural barrier which gives the customer space. If the interpreter can fullfill the wingman role by neutrally suggesting to go forward with a purchase to someone on the fence you have a real business.
No. You can have a 64-bit time_t even with a 32-bit word size.
I don't understand why you are saying that or what that has to do with the conversation. Please imagine a schoolteacher going into a classroom on the first day of school and saying with a straight face to students "I am going to show you a video on how to cut off your leg" or something like that and then not explaining that it's a joke. My original point is not if any given child is competent enough to see the joke or not, but that it could be misinterpreted.

Literally, nothing is unreasonable for Apple. They're among the richest companies on the planet. I'm over Corporate Equity and treating them the same as the mom & pop grocery store down the street. Yeah, it'd be unreasonable for small businesses.

Its not unreasonable for Apple. Tim Cook could personally, out of his own salary, pay the salaries of every Apple employee in New York. He could give them all a 200% raise, and he'd still make twenty times more than ICU nurses who work 20 hour shifts to save his life if he ever needs it.

As an employee, it would help me feel pride to contribute toward a company that is willing to not just meet the law, but go beyond it and provide valuable and gainful employment for people like Richard. As a customer, it would make me proud to walk into an Apple Store and work with someone like Richard, to see that Apple were willing to pay an entire second salary simply to be accommodating. Comparatively, the salaries of an entire Apple retail stores' worth of employees is exactly the same as you accidentally dropping your change at a register, a penny rolls under the checkout lane, and you say "nah its not worth it".

Now, the reality of the situation is that, Apple Corporate would probably be fine with this, but the real problem is with this Middle Manager. To be clear, it reflects poorly on Corporate, and its their responsibility to set terms and culture to ensure Bad Store Managers don't pop up. But, they will. What matters is Apple's response, not necessarily the history of what happened (though, six years is a very long time).
