Exactly. If what Assange did was a crime, the New York times commits the same crime every couple of months. This "New York times problem" was shown to be a frequent point of internal discussion in the recent leaks regarding the US plans for kidnapping Assange

I think about this a lot! Did I fake anything? I certainly felt out of my league quite often early in my career, and on paper, this may have been true. I aggressively pursued knowledge, tried to work on the hardest problems, found the best mentors I could, removed ego from my thought process, sought humility and tried to maintain self-esteem. Easy, right!
Only 4 known coronaviruses that cause a cold, anyway. While it'd be a bit surprising if there were more, HCoV-HKU1 was only discovered surprisingly recently.
It's just a tactic to keep the the minds outside china calm (oh look china want's to go the freedom loving way), and heat the minds inside china up (how dare those Taiwanese knock off that peaceful inquiry) and buy a little bit more time to buildup the navy, air-force and army.

BTW: I don't believe that anyone would help Taiwan, there is just nothing to win (economically) and that's the really sad point...and china knows it, so does the US, neither the US nor China could win a war against each other...proxy war? Pure waste of money.
> If you go to a Canadian hospital wearing an N95 these days there's a good chance they will insist you to take it off in favour of a "clean" surgical mask with gaps around the sides and nose.

Happened to me many times. Sometimes they let me wear it over my (certified) N95, sometimes they don't.
So, I think that you are looking at the rear view mirror (as well as the article author). We are living in a world of zero cost compute / zero cost capital / zero cost media.

The industries that can afford this kind of internal power grab are about to get distributed in the next 5 years (cars companies - gone, banks - gone, insurance companies - gone, commercial real estate - gone, media - gone).

On the other hand, the ability of individual to get tractions for a valuable ideas is immense.

So if we assume that the only services that a programmer get from a company can be rented outside of the company without the overhead of management / internal politics / etc, than there is no reason for a programmer to work in this old structure.

The key point that should be clarified is that people still equate 10 programmers = 10 * 1 programmer, or 100 programmer = 100 * 1 programmer, and this equation is not correct.

China's Robotaxis Hit the Road
I’m an actuary. The actuarial profession is increasingly coming to realise that data science will be an important skill for actuaries in future and HN is a great source for related links and discussion.
One of the challenges is that, with rare exceptions, cities don't build out in advance of demand and, once the demand is there, rebuilding housing, transportation, and other systems is often expensive and disruptive--and can really be hard without a strong central authority.

Singapore is probably about as good an example as any (at least outside of China) of centralized urban planning (and they even have an interesting gallery on it https://www.ura.gov.sg/corporate). But, while getting around Singapore works pretty well, it's certainly not a city you would call especially affordable in general.
Waterfox is owned by an ad company, which IMO is enough to disqualify it. Sure it's probably fine now, but it'll assuredly have problems soon.
I’d say for most software jobs calculus is not required?
What the hell does calculus have to do with 99% of all "tech" jobs? Nothing. Nothing at all.

I can't even fathom why knowing anything at all about calculus is going to be useful when automating things, writing APIs, or doing anything that nearly every business wants their "tech" people to do.
I fit this profile but have not observed this behavior. Did you try just signing in again?

I’m sure she’d be very happy to know that she can very extremely loud on Twitter and blogs and get people like yourself calling for federal investigation into her claims.

I also said nothing about my role; your attempts to discredit me are against HN guidelines, are assumptions on your behalf, irrelevant to the discussion, and are quite rude.
I've known many engineers who could have simplified their work if they'd used calculus, but they were afraid of calculus and went to considerable lengths to avoid it.

For example, I know one who was trying to reduce the noise in an electronic circuit. He randomly tried adding resistors and capacitors of various values. Until eventually a coworker looked at it, calculated the right values in a few minutes, and eliminated the noise.

I've seen this sort of thing again and again, in diverse fields.
Look at the window title bar and alignment in that picture. It's photoshopped, and badly.
Lincoln refused to coexist with the Confederates.

I’d put refusing to coexist with Communists on that level, and they actually took over von Neumann’s home country.
I hope Facebook passwords are limited to US ASCII, because I seem to remember that there are country specific conversion rules for various Unicode characters that may or may not be subject to change, not to mention the lack of 1:1 mapping for case conversions. Example the German lower case ß converts to SS, so does ss. Of course they also created an upper case variant ẞ of ß a few years ago so who knows what mapping any software will use.

Going further to avoid collisions that could happen between words like massen and maßen when upper cased the rule of thumb was to convert ß to SZ when that happened, so getting the correct upper case would have also required a full German dictionary.

TL;DR: Upper/Lower case conversion is complex, avoid it if possible.
Worse, the image is clearly photoshopped into the screen.

Look at the scrollbar on the right. It is vertical in the picture, but not parallel to the edge of the screen, defying perspective.
It is easier to do a complete block of an ad serving domain, but in terms of ad blockers it doesn't really matter if the ad is coming from the front or back end. The ad blocker can remove the content on the page holding the ad based on some CSS selectors.

> so having stronger public investments in media could be helpful to stop this pervasive divisiveness.

Completely unsubstantiated nonsense claim.

Alarmist gobbledygook.
Definitions help:

Start a company: You + enough business not to go under in X months = covering living expenses for one person or family = $50k / year starting negative of working up to profitable

10x = $500k / year, by the previous measure = competing with the top end of a big tech salary.

So there are people reasonably "unhappy" at 10x because of opportunity costs.
The west just needs to reimplement the fairness doctrine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_fairness_doctrine
I think its more basic:

1. the restaurant they used to work at isn't there anymore

2. they moved back in with the parents and stopped giving a shit about the future

3. still living off their unemployment and stimulus...it will go to zero one day, but not today

4. even with a substantial raise, most jobs they qualify for will still leave them impoverished, so whats the point

America's unemployed need deflation more than they need a raise. A 50% drop in housing costs will serve them better than a 15% raise. The number of Americans who would benefit from a substantial deflation rises every day.

No, that was intentional. I don’t know the previous account, I am simply sick of people trying to shut down discussion of Apple criticism.
> Your defense, even though you're just a basic employee, is pathetic and tone deaf

Was this necessary?

Because it would affect my perception of your comment, I must ask, do you work at Apple, and are you the person, or closely related to the person this is about?
I thought the issue was that her manager provided feedback to her, and then complimented her. I didn't even realize she had this this issue around the "triple Superfund toxic waste dump".

Is this the bay area? You can't move an inch of contaminated soil without a HUGE hassle, so I'm kind of curious ignoring apple how people were being allowed to be exposed in their office without adequate safety to a triple superfund toxic waste dump. Building inspector, planning clearance? No one caught this?
I may be the only one here old enough to have worked on Tenex... around 1978 or so, I dropped out of MIT and went to work at BBN and did some extensions to Tenex / TOPS-20, including as I remember some device drivers for the IBM-style tape drives that were still in use.
It seems the very first issue had a picture on it. From July 1976 all the covers had full-color art:

I have another thesis.

Take a sample of all the last few major economic crisis. For example the 2008 credit crisis.

Check if available jobs persisted open, 18+ months subsequent to crisis.

If they didnt, then something is different in this crisis vis a vis all prior crisis.

Take a look at confounding factors. What do you see?

-Huge subsidy of unemployment via federal checks and unemployment expansions.

Pay matters, but pay does not exist in a vaccum. Work pay is assessed relative to other pay, including pay to not work.
To be fair, for some people, it is the case that everyone they work with is a moron. For example, high IQ / low EQ can lead to a position where:

- You won't get higher-end jobs due to low EQ

- Lower-end jobs, you'll be surrounded by people who, relative to you, are morons

There are lots of other situations like this, and it's tough. I've rarely found myself in this position, but part of that is luck. College pedigree and early resume slots make a big difference. I have friends who were less fortunate.

It's worth noting that the high IQ / low EQ example above is relative -- this can be a FAANG-level tech person working for an average tech firm, a mediocre programmer working tech support, and all the way down. There's a very deep pit of crappy jobs, all the way down to a pretty good mathematician I knew who ended up driving a bus.

"Low EQ" can also be a proxy for other things which would preclude a higher-end job, from being an immigrant with poor English skills (or otherwise facing discrimination), to complex distractions (e.g. having serious health problems, a litigation, or a family situation, or otherwise).

The Fairness Doctrine only ever applied to broadcast TV and radio because spectrum was a limited resource. It never applied to cable, satellite, or online services. Those were never really deregulated because they were hardly regulated in the first place.
You can encrypt it in the database, but my preference is to just reset the tokens if and when the DB is stolen. If they've managed to steal it, solid chance they'll be able to decrypt it from the running db process or sniff through other infrastructure.

“Up to 3x the work” is very misleading, since the average will be much less than 3.
The Falklands have 2000 fishermen.

1. How much sabre-rattling did Argentina do in the year prior to invasion? Were they flying military planes in Falkland airspace and publicly threatening to invade?

2. While Argentina could reasonably believe that no one cared about the Falklands (and only invaded after it was mistakenly convinced that the UK would not care) this isn't the case for Taiwan. For example, how many billions in military hardware did the UK sell to the inhabitants of the Falkland islands, how many billions in mutual trade occured between the UK and the Falklands, and how many strategic key industries did the Falklands have a leadership position in? What was strength of the pro-Falkland lobby group in British Parliament?

It's one thing for Argentina to convince itself that the UK would abandon the Falklands, a different thing for China to convince itself that the West will abandon Taiwan.

Moreover China is much more dependent on the rest of the world than Argentina. Argentina can feed itself -- China can't. China can't even keep the lights on without help from Australia.
Right; rich people and corporations exploit the law by funding lobbying and pacs that write loopholes into legislation, instead of the direct corruption you see with Eastern oligarchs. It's an important distinction
> There is no doubt that he really is guilty of leaking US secrets.

Lets say he is. He is not a US citizen, and he didn't do the leaking on US soil - what duty does he have to keep US secrets secret? In fact, without a confidentiality agreement, I think even US citizens are allowed to leak them. Something to do with the 1st amendment.

If you published secret information given to you by a Russian dissident, would you expect to be extradited to Russia? Even if you had encouraged/helped that dissident?
Your question is only asking for answers from people who have "made it."

What about all the people who have faked it yet never made it?
Random pooling of studies and putting it online like this is only going to encourage incorrect conclusions from a non-medical audience. Peer review, deeply understanding the reliability of protocols and what’s being compared isn’t something that can be easily pulled together. Meta-analysis is generally quite problematic in itself as it treats all studies as equally valid when that’s not the case, and there’s such random fraud out there in bio papers generally.
Suppose Denmark/the EU passes laws that require Maersk to operate ethically. Maersk and all other Danish shipping companies now need to charge their customers more, so won't what you said in the first line just happen at the international level, with clients switching to, say, a Chinese shipping company?

Is the implied question "/from/ the US"? :)

I moved from Russia to Canada and then US, my story is probably very typical, with some variation because (a) I didn't plan or expect it (b) to me, it actually didn't feel like much of anything.

I was a web/fullstack developer in Moscow and never considered myself anywhere near "FAANG" (or whatever it was in 2007) material.
The lucky trigger was the fact that I was really passionate about tech and consumed a ton of media on programming. Actually someone from Chicago sent me an interview request based on my activity on some webdev forum, but they ghosted me when they realized I'm not US-based.

Anyway I was subscribed to 1000 tech blogs and randomly saw a BigCo recruiting event in Moscow. I decided to go just for lulz, and didn't get hired... I definitely remember bombing the "does the linked list have a P-shaped cycle" question. Apparently they were on the fence enough that they invited me to another event for a different team, where I again bombed at least one leetcode-style question, but really aced a design question that was supposed to be "open ended" and "impossible to finish in 45 minutes" but we finished it to some approximation and had time for idle chat :)

So, out of the blue I was moving to Canada. The relocation itself was easy if tedious, as it is typically in such cases, so I won't go into that.

I am not sure why, but adapting to life in Canada and later in the US was pretty easy, I really don't remember having any major cultural issues, or adaptation issues... I did hang out a lot with Russian speakers esp. for the first few years, because it was the path of least resistance I guess (and they worked in the same building); but e.g. I used to hang out in Vancouver equally well with Russians, Canadians, or even occasionally Turks (I used to speak a tiny bit); I even got drunk with some anglo right-wingers once who were ranting /to me/ about francophones, who were (unlike me apparently) "not true Canadians". Or e.g. I ended up married to a "regular" (i.e. not an immigrant for 100+ years) American who I met thru a hobby. I am really not clear why other people have cultural problems (I understand it's a real issue for many, I just don't intuitively grok why it should be so). Moved from Canada to the USA due to job market concerns, changed jobs, moved states, gotten married, bought houses, etc. in a way that is not in any way special to an immigrant as far as I can tell.

It sounds like the first half of a bad joke about two immigrants arguing who could assimilate better ;) But, living in a different country didn't really "feel" special. The "system" (using the term very broadly) of life in the US/Canada is different (and better in most aspects IMHO) than in Russia, and the US is slightly different (and better in the plurality of aspects IMHO) than Canada, but it just doesn't feel noteworthy that you do things differently in different places. (If my wife agreed) I could totally see myself going back to Russia, or to another country, if I thought the life there would be a lot better.

the way I use programming it is! music can always be better. I can always practice and polish scales, work on sound and improve in general.

programming for me is like crosswords: I see a problem, I ponder on it, I solve it. The horizon is so much shorter I feel it is something that keeps me sane.

But in many ways they are the same. You learn a technique or a tool, and suddenly it makes some things that were previously impenetrable seem easy.

The difference is that the horizon for my playing is usually 6 months and upwards, whereas programming is at nost a couple of days.

Both can be frustrating, though. For bassoon I want to improve my circular breathing and stamina, which takes forever and is hard work. In programming I want to implement RRB-trees (a superset of clojures immutable vectors), but I am sadly a bit too dumb at the moment.
It's funny how a "generation" left Apple and suddenly they're rolling back all kinds of changes to how they were before that generation "made their mark".
Ah yes, the publisher's perspective. They can't deal with the fact it's the 21st century and copyright makes no sense, so they offer an inferior version of the product with performance issues, dependency on company servers they'll certainly turn off at some point, etc.

Nothing like humiliating your loyal consumers by making them pay for a game that's inferior to what pirates get for free.
According to this:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/unfollow-everyone-...

It explicitly says: "

Click "Add to chrome", Log in to your facebook account, click the extension and choose the unfollow option. Wait for a few minutes till the processing completes.

Our key feature:
1. Instant removal of all friends, pages and groups with one click.

So where is the problem? What should people understand? Why is dd even here. And installing software always do many thing that are not intended by user so people shouldn't install software if they don't know.
I find the hygiene hypothesis argument to be unconvincing. The notion that over sterilization leads to weaker immune response is plausible if not settled science. But it certainly seems the long-term outcomes in terms of life expectancy and quality of life come out heavily in favor of the sanitized and vaccinated life. Aside from the immediate benefit of fewer deaths due to acute illness, I bet there's a host of long-term syndromes akin to Long Covid that haven't been identified.
There are basically two kinds of referrals:

The first is employees put the names of people they know and have maybe worked with a bit into the system attached to an open position with the hope, in part, that they'll get a referral bonus down the road. That's going to basically go through the regular process.

When I've gotten a job directly or indirectly through someone I knew, it's been through people I've worked with in the past and were usually in a position to at least influence the hiring. I'm not sure any of those jobs (which I've just had a few of) was even against a posted position.
I respectfully disagree that GTK is more friendly than AppKit. It may be truly strictly from a cross platform perspective, but AppKit is still unbeaten in variety and capability of UI widgets, especially if front end web is the point of comparison. Just to get an interactive table view that’s comparable in features to NSTableView on the web you’re looking at duct taping together several libraries or reinventing the wheel yet again and writing the whole widget yourself. GTK and Qt better than the web in this aspect but still not as good (custom widgets are still frequently necessary with both toolkits).

AppKit only comes up short in that it’s not built to have its appearance changed dramatically and of course that it’s tied to macOS. If you need cross platform that’s a legitimate limitation, but as noted before brand driven UI design is far from a need.
That performance is really impressive. I'm no expert in this space, but I was expecting somewhere around 30% the throughput of a regular DB. They are way higher than that.
Medium-sized company for me, but same here. As long as my code works, there's really no one breathing down my neck or telling me what to do.
