Where I work is all in on Google cloud and the "meh but convenient" factor of GCP services is starting to really grate on me. "X 3rd party service has great reviews and is cheaper" suddenly becomes contestable and a debate because we'd have to deal with a bit of additional complexity and pay for data transfer out of GCP.
No need to be embarrassed, but a couple of others I noticed:

- 12 - -5 = 17, not 18

- 'never non-zero' should be 'always non-zero' or 'never zero'
The US CDC says to require masks for all areas with substantial spread, which is most of the US right now, and OSHA is working on a nation-wide vaccination mandate right now.
We know the seasonal flu kills thousands of kids every year and there are safe and effective vaccines for it that have existed for a long time now, yet we never mandated it for kids. But somehow, fewer than 500 deaths with COVID over almost two years means we have to mandate experimental vaccines that haven’t existed for that long for kids. It makes no sense whatsoever.
If this guy was dumb enough to think he could get away with selling submarine secrets, I doubt he was smart enough to secure his private keys in an unseizable way, especially if the arrest was a surprise.
At an old job we used to get regular talks given by the FBI about espionage cases. A common theme was just how cheaply most sell themselves for. Motivations tend to be as much titillation (playing spy) and revenge (passed over for promotion, for example) as it is for pure money.
Who cares how it's stabilized, it still has all the same advantages that a regular bipedal robot would have. Being pedantic about the mechanical "purity" of the design seems counterproductive.
Don't you need standing in order to bring fraud charges? If so, you would have to be admitting that you solicited someone for government secrets, which is very illegal.
Urenco played a role in that saga:

That’s just your opinion in a sea of people saying the opposite. Sometimes we just have to accept we didn’t understand something, man. No need to be salty about it ;)

Plus, several other art pieces fit into your generic, superficial description of “gore, intriguing and foreign”.
> If he is dealing with a government agent and receiving money then he has to report it at his work.

Has to, or get fired, and probably never have a security clearance again. But is it a criminal matter? No idea. (This hypothetical is probably not the most important part of this story, obviously, but it does seem to have captured our interest)
If robots can now ride skateboards and walk slacklines, I'd be interested to know what skaters and slackliners are planning to do now that they have suddenly been made useless.
It just seems so off topic and in the US, it is dominating almost everything. I used to come to HN for a break; and now I see political flame wars here too. I'm training an AI to get rid of this and I easily see 20% of all posts are political. Way too many.

I understand Australia has a spat with China! And with China's growth I expect to read more and more on it here. What a bummer when all I want to read about is computers.

Just the design of the screws alone is a highly guarded secret as are many other bits and pieces that could be used to create an acoustic footprint.
This is a huge lump of Boomers and some Gen X, who have enough years to retire already driving that change. It is a problem for now, but it should settle out over a few years as some younger folks with existing certification and new entrants come into the profession. Also the working conditions of many time consuming jobs were reflected on during the lockdowns and now many are rethinking how they wish to spend their days.
And yet, for the state I spend most of my time in, masks have been voluntary for over a year.
Dominican Republic is insanely corrupt. I agree that we are talking small potatoes here, but any international press these issues get will go a long way towards improving things in the country.

This is a good decision, but it's a depressingly incremental step toward a necessary change to laws that currently stand: No software should be illegal to modify for your own use on your own hardware by any means, period. Interpreting copyrights as covering software in this way is simply putting the state's muscle behind an entity besides the owner of a tool having control of the tool
Wait for the jury trial because prosecutors lie and "national security" is the thing that gets lied about the most.

EDIT: The other thing to watch out for is an FBI sting where they convince a guy to do something he would never have otherwise done. It seems like every publicly touted victory from them ends up that way once the truth comes out.

I believe Samsung foundries are competing successfully with TSMC.
This is underappreciated. Think about what contributions one has to make to a self-funded retirement plan to acquire a pension equivalent to that available to teachers.
Having lived in Indiana for most of my life, and knowing folks who are teachers there still, I can vouch for the first statement.

Not so much the second though -- yes, these high salaries are in HCOL areas, but I'm not aware of crazy amount of competition to be a teacher even with those salaries. I'm now in Chicago, where teachers fresh out of college fetch about $60k in my district, and there's always plenty of openings.
Today an AI could tag things for us. I just want a filter. I really just come here to read about computer and startup news. Not about the latest regulation or China spat with the West.
Tanks are cheaper and are run by only 4 people. This means that a tank squad is basically expected to know all of the attributes of their tank.

The article talks about returning strings as errors, which I read as equivalent to (JS):

throw 'wat'

Which doesn’t seem like a very useful interface to me. Everything can be stringly typed. But again I’m looking at this from the outside.

And by not typed, I specifically meant in the function signature. If tooling helps with that, that’s awesome.
It is a humiliation

> nor is it really all that humiliating.

This is exactly the line of reasoning which lead the free world into this predicament.
A sub that isn’t secret/stealth is basically just a peculiar boat.
The reason why AWS got popular everywhere I worked was that you didn't need to get buying new hardware past ops. You just spun up your own, then when it was supporting half the business you pointed at it and said "Gee wouldn't it be nice if we had a box in our own data center to run it?" then there'd be a fire lit under the ass of ops and you'd get your computers in a week instead of next financial year.

Now it's exactly the same thing in AWS. My next guess is that you're going to be running production code on fleets of devs computers because you don't have to get extra budget for AWS next financial year to afford spinning up another instance.
But that needs to be balanced against spamming and trolling. With no flag button, you'd see a tonne of crypto spam on here I am sure.
Not an expert, but I think different rules apply to holders of security clearances.
Then is the person you added trapped in the conversation after you leave?
> education outcomes are consistently ranked poorly. I wonder where all the money is going.

When comparing PISA scores, Asian Americans performed on par or better than Asian countries, white Americans did similarly well comparing against European countries/Canada/Australia, and so on. In other words, looking at PISA scores is misleading when comparing countries with high ethnic fractionalization against those with low fractionalization (like Iceland and Shenzhen China).
This is my understanding too, and when I’ve seen panic I always see it treated as fatal/terminating.

the majority of this teachers live in the most populated parts of California, which are also the most expensive.

You also happen to have cherry picked the state with the best teacher pay in the nation, as mediocre as that is for such a high cost of living state. If you repeat your analysis in, for example, South Dakota, you'll find that the median teacher there is paid about $48k. That's not that far from the statutorily required minimum wage in San Jose.

Yep, when I was writing PHP I found myself digging into php-src on a regular basis to see what exactly was going on. PHP's documentation is good but the code is much more explicit.
A boilerplate doesn't get updated and so practically ensures that your components will drift out of sync. Far better to use a library (if your build system doesn't support that, get a better one - plenty of "backend" build systems integrate npm or yarn).

And if you only have one repo and you often edit multiple components at the same time, maybe consider making it an actual monolith?
> Why should the people of Puerto Rico be subsumed into a foreign power?

Because they overwhelmingly prefer it, differing mainly on the exact terms of association?

Why shouldn't they be part of the country they choose to be part of?

(Also, Puerto Rico has been a US territory since the Spanish-American war and has never been a sovereign state, so the “foreign power” thing is...dubious. Puerto Rico is about as American as the territory gained in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, 50 years earlier.)
What about getting assasinated? Surely that’s a motivation to deliver?

A few weeks ago when the US/Australian sub deal was announced it was notable(outside of the diplomatic snafu) because it was only the second country the US has ever shared its propulsion technology with[1]. The only other country at that point was the UK.

I read your post before the article, and based on your post, the article is not at all what I expected. The author was clearly respectful and appreciative of the opportunity he was given. This was an honest appraisal of the emotions he felt during that time, which were often not positive. It's the type of vulnerability that we should probably encourage from our leaders, but we are often too immature to handle it.

Your post to me smacks of toxic positivity. It's ok to admit that not everything is great (even though we are just about all of us on this forum lucky and blessed). It's the human condition, and nobody is exempt.

BTW, you do realize he has stepped down and this is a retrospective, right?

on the high end, we have Intel, Samsung and TSMC. TSMC is the only foundry that is pure play. TSMC have no side business or any business that compete with its customers.

Apple/Samsung is the example of that dynamic. Apple leave Samsung after Samsung come out with their own smart phone that compete with Apple. their relationship have taken a nose dive after that.

TSMC win on trust. They don't compete with their customers. they are a foundry and that's all they do.

It's called ruminating. You do have to train yourself to stop thinking of work past a certain point. It's unhealthy and doesn't make you more productive. The 9-5 actually makes it worse, because you're helpless outside office hours.

The proposed solution is to acknowledge that it's anti-productive. And if you really have to think about work, do it in a productive manner - plan out a schedule, read a book, don't feel helpless.
In that case, then why are teacher’s quitting over the “restrictions” if they’re voluntary?

You responded to another user here as such -

>The only harm happening here is people like you overstepping bounds and ultimately trashing actually correct usage of the language because you are operating under some pretext that there's a woke conspiracy to remove all gendered pronouns from colloquial usage.

So it seems like you agree with me. The sensitivity and derision of the (more or less) correct usage of a pronoun indicates culture war malarky here.

You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.

To expand, seriously, pretend that you are buying an annuity providing a guaranteed, life-long annual payout equivalent to a teacher's salary in your town. It's a slug of cash that will make you blush.

For example, https://www.bankrate.com/calculators/investing/annuity-calcu... tells me that a $30K/year annuity good for 30 years will require more than $500K of principal at a 4% growth rate. This is a coarse approximation.

Or just political beliefs/idealism. Some people thought for instance that being the sole possessor of atomic weapons was too much power for any country, even the US. I believe I read something that gave the impression that certain secrets were given to the Soviets, not for money, out of narcissism, or love of Communism, but just the belief that a balance of power was better for the world.
Also India is the enemy of Pakistan and the why Pakistan develops nukes. It's really nonsense to help India.

Well, if anyone desired they could arrest you both for conspiracy, since ‘I was just joking’ is a pretty hard defense to prove. If you had a bunch of documents showing you were actually not intending to do it and just scamming, and they were all solidly timestamped maybe. If you had an independent co-conspirator who could attest, also maybe.

I believe that generally folks don’t do this type of thing often because the type of person that would pay you $50k in this situation might also be very prone to just murder you if they thought you were playing with them hah

Either way, no fun for anyone.

> Other policies the union seeks to block include Southwest’s Covid quarantine rules for pilots and an infectious disease control policy that it says significantly altered work conditions, rules and rates of pay, until the two sides negotiate a resolution to alleged contract violations outlined in its original Aug. 30 lawsuit.

I’ll just fly with a business that doesn’t employ pilots who use global-health initiatives as a bargaining chip.

Why I only hold 3 meetings a week and don’t plan on adding more
A lot has been written over the past decade about the many problems with meetings in the workplace—they keep people from completing their actual work, kill creativity, and force people to work late at night simply to have the opportunity to work uninterrupted. Meetings also increase the likelihood of people committing errors in their work.

And yet, despite all of the data and a wave of new collaboration and communication tools, little has changed in the last 10 years. But now, more than ever, companies have the collaborative tools needed to move away from a meetings-for-meeting-sake culture and embrace the no-meeting way.

Citing market cap isn’t that convincing. China has a property market with similar value that’s being threatened as we speak. What does a very large number prove except there’s been investment?

Both SKorea and TW knows US intends to use supply chain info to direct investments in US for the semi reshore effort. Ultimately it will undermine east asian semi industries the same way US killed Japan's semiconductor in the 80s. The TLDR is East Asian semi supplys 80%+ of global semi needs, entire supply chain and every critical fab is within PRC rocket force range. This is too big of exposure for US, who is fully prepared to stomp even allies to to mitigate the risk.

An opinion piece from Korea, but you'll find simliar sentiments from TW and PRC analysts.

Teaching summer school is paid, and various training are generally optional and/or paid. "Administrative duties" is nebulous.

Many do pay for various school supplies out of pocket, and I agree they should be reimbursed or have access to greater deductions.

They definitely have summers off though, so it is very odd to claim that they don't. It's plainly described in the employment contract in a traditional summers off (non-year round) schedule
