Yeah, but when he's done authenticating a previously unknown Van Gough he probably doesn't get to marry Audrey Hepburn. On the plus side I guess he didn't have to get shot with a flintlock either.
weather in Russia changes fast - few years ago he helped prosecution to put away for treason a couple of FSB officers and a couple of Kaspersky employees.

Just to illustrate Russian treason charges - a few years back a newly wed couple posted on FB or something like this their wedding reception, a lot of drinking, etc. as Russian wedding reception goes, and one of the drunk guests was their friend
who was loudly proudly telling everybody that he is an FSB officer, etc., and usually it isn't a secret information until you're an undercover or something like this. End result is a secret court hearing closed to public which handed 13 years for the groom and 12 years for the bride - for "disclosing state secrets to Latvia" : https://www.rbc.ru/society/24/12/2020/5fe45ca69a794757c4c8f6...
> Note that this formulation doesn't have to descend into some sort of free speech maximalist apocalypse; spam is unprotected because it's not something anyone wants to receive, incitements to imminent violence are violations of other human rights and laws, etc. so moderation is still possible. There is a difference between interfering with parties who are mutually voluntarily communicating and helping parties not receive communications they voluntarily have decided that they don't want to receive.

Sure I accept this (note though, that the UDHR definition is incompatible with the US constitutional definition, but let's work with this one because I prefer it anyway).

You mention mutually voluntary communication. So the vital question is then: is you posting a video on youtube a voluntary communication with me? I don't see how it is. I can see this argument for email, but I don't see how you can claim that this is the case for Youtube without an apparent contradiction in that even if you and I want to communicate via youtube, Fred over there thinks that the video you posted is spam/inappropriate and should be blocked. That is, if you need mutual consent from all parties, there will always be people who don't want to watch a video, but it is shown to. Therefore I don't think your framing works either way. Either You and I aren't the mutual parties to the communication, in which case Youtube can withdraw its consent, or everyone is party to the communication, in which case Youtube has a responsibility to block the content on behalf of those other people.

> everyone should be treated evenhandedly and impartially

Are you claiming that people aren't? Who is being treated differently? As far as I can tell, the discrimination, insofar as it exists, is based on an idea that isn't specifically called out elsewhere in the UDHR (such as religion or race, in Article 18 or 2).

Hi Azaan,

My initial reaction was that this is really well done. Excellent work. It's clear and concise. I was wondering where you were from when I noticed that the tutor search was in so many different languages.

This makes it easy for me to end up with a result with no data, if you don't have a tutor with the language I need and the skills.

What I'd recommend is that the search operate as a filter. First they select the class, then you show what levels you have teachers registered for, then you filter that data to tutors you have the language for. If you don't have a tutor for the language, you can then request the user to sign-up to be notified, and you can start to build up the marketplace and understand where the supply and demand side limits are.

Or, alternatively, just focus on a smaller geographic area or language, and then expand as you grow.

Really excellent work. Dare I say, better than much of the other Show HN posts. :)

Also, see if you can update the Show HN label to include a bit more about your project or put "I'm 11 years old and built this tutor search", you may bet more interest that way.

I don't remember exactly when, but maybe around 2007, my cousin sent me a video where a man was essentially interacting with a tablet that was sitting on a table. It had an assistant that was helping him with everyone - he was putting together a presentation about a forest (I believe), I think he asked it the weather, set up meetings, etc.

It was an amazing thing to watch unfold.

To this day, I can't for the life of me find that video and really wish I could.

As I was reading through that paper, it reminded me of it.
The posed question is ridiculous.
> A private company doesn’t want to contribute to people dying.

And the best action they can take to that end is to ban all anti-vaccination conversation?
F for Fake remains one of my all time favourites, it's not quite a documentary, it's not quite a video essay, it's not quite a movie. I've still not seen anything else that skirts the line in exactly the same way, and certainly not so long ago. I am admittedly a huge shill for big Welles though.
And what did censoring the theory do?

It made actual researchers and scientists shut up to not hurt their reputations. And made internet conspiracy conspiracies go crazy in all directions.

I believe the more we censor vaccine information, true or not, the more hardened people will get in their beliefs. What I'd love to see is YouTube change their algorithms to promote quality content over engaging content so good information rises to the top.
> Or the baffling outcome, their asks were all achieved as they exit.

It is not baffling.

It is self respect.

I don't like important stuff that has not been completed. If I spent months on an important work it would feel like giving up. I would feel like a fraud abandoning it and letting it go to waste, because of my own decision. And so I try to focus one last time and push hard to have quality closure.

An interesting observation is how your focus suddenly improves when you have made your decision. You know all your long term plans no longer make any sense and so you stop worrying. You can finally have quality rest at home as various problems prevent you from achieving peace of mind. You know you can ignore bullshit. Or it suddenly stops being irritating anymore because you know you will not have to deal with it for long. You know you can finally say no to all distractions.

I'm going to try to answer the question without divulging how anyone individually did.

I took a look at the initial 4 year option grants for the first 10 engineers (this doesn't count refreshers or other follow on grants). The average value at $50/share (yesterday's opening price) is just over $10M. The group varied in experience from just out of school to a few years working when they joined. I feel we were a good deal more generous than the median company: https://amplitude.com/blog/employee-equity-is-broken-heres-o...

Someone on the FAANG side can figure out what the apples to apples comparison is. There's no question that in 90% of cases FAANG compensation is way better. If you are optimizing for how to make the most money over a few years you should absolutely choose FAANG. The real benefit of startups comes from other forms. If you asked that group of 10 I think they'd respond that being an early engineer at a start that IPOs gives you way more career capital and long term earning potential than FAANG.
Ok then. What specific test ("taking time" is not specific) do you think was skipped?
The vast majority of people spend the vast majority of their lives being told what to do, in one way or another.

The problem with the vaccines (and lockdowns etc) is that these are new obligations, so making people realise how little control over their lives they actually have (in spite of the 'freedom' retoric so popular in the US).
The poster is confirming that vaccine mandates work as well.
When all your friends talk on platforms like Twitter and Facebook, then you cannot act like censorship through these platforms does not negatively effect the content of discourse available to the public. Especially in times of a forced lockdown, such as we were recently subjected to with the "quarantine".
No need to guess, the year is in the URL.
It's a negative pressure on wages if you manage to get hired at one of the top companies in the country, but are unable to jump to one of the other large companies. It effectively removes the most stable companies from that employees prospects, only allowing growth if that employee moves to a smaller company.
"no reason to do X" means to me that it doesn't work, not "it's unproven that it works" or "there's a 10 percent chance of works".
I'd love to hear a more-concise description of what I just flailed around trying to describe; I'm always in the market for pithy explanations :)
From the ruling:

"The purpose of suing a government official in his or her individual capacity is to impose personal liability for actions taken under color of state law."

This case sounds like a Section 1983 civil claim for violation of constitutional rights, where you can hold the individual official responsible for money damages if they violated a clearly-established constitutional right acting under color of state law. 42 USC § 1983.

"Suing a government official in an official capacity, on the other hand, is an alternative way to assert a claim against the entity he or she represents. . . ." (citations omitted).

This is really just suing the state government unit to which the official belongs, but stated differently.

That's not getting into all the immunity issues that arise in suing officials/government units.
Same story as with hard drive based audio players. I've been using one (if I remember correctly) from Creative long before iPod materialized. All was quiet but suddenly as iPod came it was of course called revolution.
If that was a trick, it worked. No dialog though.
>I know that the Weimar Republic had censorship laws. I made almost the same argument that you are making just 2 months ago:

What? The anti-semetic expressions crime thing is a fact, not an argument (I am against censorship laws!). I was honestly completely knocked cold fthat you came to the conclusion I was making your argument. The takeaway isn't that hate speech laws work, it's that they don't. I'm pro hate speech and anti-censorship. I don't like it, but I'm pro allowing it. I'm making your counter argument. In fact you seem to be listing many of the reasons why hate speech laws don't prevent Naziism.

>I abandoned my views on this question for a few reasons:

I'm surprised you chose not to learn from your responses and realize the folly of restricting "hate speech." It doesn't seem you abandoned anything, it seems you double downed.

>It is not "virtually identical". As I've said, the context is extremely different. You can't draw an analogy as much as you keep trying.

You can bury your head in the sand if you like, but no matter how hard as you keep trying to think they aren't virtually identical, they still will be. What you advocate is extremely similar and you are oblivious and disconnected to the reality of the similarity between our current censorship laws and those of the Weimar Republic. I'm not drawing an analogy, I'm saying you are literally advocating for the policy of the Weimar Republic under which Hitler was elected, with only the slightest of differences (their laws were ever so slightly more restricted due to some spottily enforced hate speech laws). The Weimar's Republic policy was literally free speech, sans some poorly enforced hate speech laws, plus private and/or voluntary censorship, which is your option (2). In fact your precise option (2) was free speech + private/voluntary regulation, but you admitted that Weimar's hate speech laws were essentially useless.

The internet is just another media of communication. That's it. You said yourself hitler reached over half of voters with his speech. That's probably a greater voter penetration than even what reddit reaches. You make some arguments why hate speech laws weren't very effective at the speeches but then you think they will be even more effective at something with even lower voter distribution than these speeches that you say went to more than half of voters.

>Having said that, it's true that for some people no amount of reasoning or persuasion will work

Some people are their own soothsayer. Have fun in your censored future insulated from reality and the opinion of others, left to the discretion of whatever "private" entity believes is allowed truths.
>then you set things up incorrectly IMO

That's precisely the problem with crypto though - most problems get blamed on the user, and not highlighted as the deficit it is for the crypto.

I think they're actually asking, if you have a single "thread" of a GPU, is that one thread quicker at math than a single thread of a CPU? The most fair comparison imo might be a single "warp" in nvidia terms against a single CPU thread, which is roughly similar to what a CPU might be doing for AVX.

>As an example, we've gotten more press in the last 24 hours then we have in all of Amplitude's existence.

The spike is certainly welcome. Would you attribute this to the product being invisible to consumers (not something to talk about), or that the company has focused more on the product and revenue until going public, and now it will "do press" (if this is too "forward-looking", a general view on a hypothetical company). How do you measure the impact of public relations in general on the company's objectives?

Has the link between a flamboyant/controversial CEO and press been discussed?

>We hired Morgan Stanley as our lead investment banker. As we were meeting with different banks, they were the only ones who really understood my frustration with the traditional IPO process. They also have the most expertise by far with direct listings. I was expecting a lot of resistance to my views from everyone involved in the process but talking to them was like finding a partner who I wouldn't have to constantly fight to run the public listing process "my way". Colin Stewart at MS is also probably the single most knowledgable individual on IPO/DL capital markets in the entire world.

Was going with Morgan Stanley influenced by the fact Asana did the same. From what I've read, you were both with Benchmark and you're the second to do a direct listing there. Is it a "why change something that works"? If so, was there a "here's what worked, here's what didn't with Asana or Here's how to do it better next time"?

Thanks again,
That was a good one for sure. She does have some gems.

Hi Azaan, Congratulations on launching. It's a great looking site. Good luck with it.

On the about page (and maybe others) there are multiple â€™ and â€“ characters eg: childâ€™s. It looks like these should be apostrophes and dashes. The often happens if you copy and paste from a word doc which uses the curly (high ascii) versions of apostrophes and mdashes. You can use &quote; and &mdash; to replace these.
You could also make a model which always responds with the word "hat". If the second sentence is the "creative" portion, it would then prove 100% accurate on your in-sample data, and the next sentence could be "Hat, hat hat." And then people could say, see, this brilliant AI speaks like Dr Seuss!

You could also just string a bunch of random words together and build a model that learned to predict them with total accuracy. Of course if the words are truly random, it would have basically no chance of predicting the next random word from outside the learning set.

The conceit really is that some model got enough important, critical contextual information from the partial symphony to be able to predict with greater than random probability the next portion. On a micro level, one note at a time, maybe. But every note further into the unknown is predicated on the previous ones, so on a macro level it's absurd to think it's "predicting" anything.
> (Also, too often, I think, the "problems" run deeper than the authority of the direct manager has control over. My last manager was in that situation: there was very little I think he could actually do. And that, in itself, is a problem.)

Yep. Particularly at larger companies your immediate manager can often do little more than perhaps offer a mild pay raise or slightly alter working conditions.

I'm currently planning on leaving some time in the next couple of years (sticking around for family reasons in the near-term) because I've realized our business model isn't what I thought it was when I joined, and that engineering really is a cost center past a certain baseline, which explains the utterly mediocre equipment/procedures and lack of leadership/low morale. I'd rather work somewhere where engineering is a profit center. Nothing my immediate manager can do about that.
I guess I must be the odd one out, I don't find adding more screens does a ton to help my productivity, it just means more context switching.

Maybe if I needed to more stuff where I compared things side-by-side...

Once again: you have to put the word "fired" in context.

In all likelihood, they were contractors, liable to be let go at any second.

But yeah, it was illegal and that's why there was a class action.
For instance, how do you know that pro-vaccine people "can't win arguments" and instead "stop them because the other side is too stupid"? Or that there is "massive censorship" favoring the pro-vaccine viewpoint?

Did you notice the article that you are commenting on?
It sounds like you experienced a situation where that trust never existed in the first place?

I've been on teams where on more than one occasion colleagues have mentioned to me one day that they were thinking of leaving, and then a couple weeks later when I asked them about it they mentioned that they raised the explicit thoughts of departure with their manager (as well as their concerns that lead to it) with respective changes manifesting that kept them on the team for a number of years.

In the model you mention, it seems like it would never be worthwhile to retain employees who have an offer and are at that point announcing their departure?

Edit: I am not sure why what I am saying is controversial.

Either a person has a trusted relationship with their manager, or the they don't. I've had managers for whom I trusted and others I did not. It can also be assessed on how they treat others who report to them as well as how they speak of others of others on adjacent teams. Concerns can and should be raised over time, and not just bottled up and delivered at the end. A good manager should be probing for them as well.

There's obviously risk involved in any conversation, but I disagree with "it's never a good idea."
No, they gave him options and good ones too. STD, LTD, and a LOA, and including a severance at the end was available to him. He did all the choosing and every step of the way appears to have chosen poorly or chose in favor of the $ over his own mental health needs.

Chose to work there, chose not to take advantage of a LOA, STD, or LTD, chose work over grief for his brother, chose to take a losing stance on his perceived value at the company.

I’m sympathetic to his family tragedy, that’s an awful thing to endure, but this is less “bad bosses” and more “ignorant or greedy worker” in my opinion.
Awesome! Thanks for digging that document, it is really interesting.

I guess my parents living in suburbs, residential area basically meant to use electricity over gas.

It would be interesting to see if this current shortage, is going to accelerate the transition to electricity. Although retrofitting older building might be very expansive. But if gas price continues to increase like it did in the past few months, it would change the equation for some.
