>>> Sometimes transparency encourages bad actors.

> I'll save you the read. A Google employee downloaded 100k documents from the company-wide available internal wiki, identified all the ones that seemed anywhere from highly-to-mildly offensive to anyone in the world, and then published it all as a book on Amazon. The book has been out for about a year and continues to sell well (not to mention the hundreds of paid media appearances for the author to speak in front of like-minded audiences).

You also have to keep in mind that a "company-wide available internal wiki" is going to be almost entirely full of boring crap that people literally have to be paid to read.

I mean, the internal wiki pages for nearly every system I've worked on in my company don't even describe what that system is supposed to do in terms someone from outside the team would understand.

> So clearly there's a market out there for juicy internal documents. I would still say the first step is not to do anything wrong, ever. But once you have enough people working for you and you can't be in every meeting at all times, shit is going to happen, and people are going to want to pay to find out about it.

It's not a "bad actor" thing to leak things like that. "Shit" that happens at low levels is still shit, even if it's not company policy coming from the top.
My biggest issue with Amazon is that most of the products listed are garbage. I went from spending an average of $20k/yr on Amazon to spending less than $500/yr. I now refuse to buy on Amazon unless it's a product /from/ Amazon, which is mostly digital books because I have a Kindle and a I read a lot. Once my local grocery store started offering same-day delivery of groceries and other sundries, almost all my expected Prime purchases can just go to the local grocery. Everything else, I am more concerned about quality than almost anything else, and Amazon just fails for every product category to offer discoverable high quality options.

I am sure Amazon executives don't care, because most consumers are price-motivated, not quality motivated, but I basically only buy things online directly from the manufacturer now or an authorized brick and mortar retailer I can call on the phone and get confirmation of the product before receiving it. Amazon is just full of garbage, mostly "brands" that are all the same Chinese junk off Alibaba, and if it is a major brand, it ends up often being counterfeit. Completely untrustworthy, and it makes me sad, because historically as a consumer I liked the experience of buying on Amazon.

What's more shocking is unprompted, my parents and siblings are also now avoiding Amazon. In many cases they've been buying through Walmart with in-store pickup, because that fits into their day-to-day life and has a much higher quality bar. Yes, Walmart quality is higher than Amazon quality in basically every product category.

The projection is owing to improved quality of life through global trade. Since the 20th Century the rate of extreme poverty has been decimated and continues to drop.

In 1st world countries the fertility rates are already stagnant. The growth rate is targeted and achieved through immigration, from countries with lower quality of life and higher child mortality.
>Always pick writers who produce Faith over writers who cant.

The problem with Faith is that it's often blind to reality.

Like believing that "tomorrow can be a better day" when all signs show not just "insecurity about what happens next" (as if we are not sure) but certainly and empirical evidence of bad shit happening...
Well I just learned how to stop Chrome from hiding the https:// at the start of URLs from that link, so thank you.

I really hate what Google is doing in this area with their immense power over the web. It may be more friendly for those who just don't care how computers work and just want their Facebook button, but it's very hostile for those who do know how they work.
I disagree. My grandfather was happily typing websites into search bars long before the two bars were combined into one. Users weren't taught to do this any more than babies were taught to cry.
So prices are rising rapidly but we're also facing really high inflation everywhere. I'm pretty naive when it comes to the oil boom/bust cycle, but taking in everything where are we now? I'm working in o&g and we're growing fast, I want to know how to maximize my ability to profit off what's going on if I can before inflation slashes any extra money I make.
Remember that GitHub is not MS's enterprise product in this space. When they acquired GH everyone waited for "the merge" and I think they've been really smart to (at least) appear to be hands off. I can happily use GH for my stuff while cursing Azure DevOps for work without going crazy.
Not every discussion between people needs to have the caliber of evidence required by a scientific study or dissertation. Besides, arguments like that tend to just end up being tennis matches where commenters lob citations back and forth at each other without reading them.

Also, I think people should feel free to share whatever life experience / observations / anecdotes they have because it's not like what we write here is going to get cited in some journal.
Those players would be excluding themselves from all known international football and from transferring to and fro all current clubs and leagues on earth. That would be _complete suicide_. They'd become nobodies overnight.

10B probably isn't even enough to buy out the PL, much less the world football pyramid.
Matt Levine has written about the problems with opening up this kind of investing to everyone.

One of the major differences between earth stage startup investments and normal public companies is that there is not an open market. Startups can choose their investors, and don't have to give the same price to all investors.

So yes, if you get accreditation, you will be able to find a startup to invest in... however, it isn't going to be the best startups, and you aren't going to get the same valuation that big VCs get.

Going off on a tangent:

I thought that this would be the case when I switched to changing my own oil -- if I was feeling lazy, I could always have the shop do it. But I found out right away that when the local quick-change place does it, they tighten the drain plug and oil filter to roughly a zillion ft-lbs. So if I pay them to do it, I am making the job way more of a pain in the butt for myself next time I want to do it, because I'll spend half an hour just struggling to remove those.

Maybe a total coincidence that I read this morbid news on South Korea while I've started watching Squid Game, but watching a show that's effectively an allegory of capitalist decline in South Korea makes this news not surprising.
The term "equity" is part of a suite of coded jargon that is often used by members of the so-called critical social justice movement. It is a loaded term that in most cases means "redistribution," or as a sort of antonym for "meritocracy."

For example if current grading practices are based on merit, then it is not equitable, as some students will naturally have higher grades than others. The solution, then, is to change the grading system so that good grades may be "redistributed" to lower performers and achieve a more "equal" outcome.
First, we need to save genetics of as many wild animals, birds, insects, trees, etc. as we can, including their variations, to be able to revert damage to the ecosystem in the future.

Second, we need to make artificial breeders, to help nature to regenerate.

Third, we need to make a continuous web of wild nature, to allow migrations, because isolated ecosystem will die with time no matter what, e.g. because of climate change alone.
So they found their scapegoat?
Access to firearms has certainly been shown to affect suicide rates, especially among men, given how surprisingly impulsive suicides are. But it's not sufficient, given that there are other countries with higher suicide rates and fewer firearms.

Also, while America has a lot of guns, there's also a lot of variance. The stats are a bit hard to compute, but there appear to be some states in the US that have fewer firearms per capita than some other countries, notably Switzerland, Canada, and Finland.

It's also worth pointing out that suicide by firearm is largely a male thing. In the United States women attempt suicide at 3x the rate that men do, but they tend to die because of that at a much lower rate (22.4 for men, 6.8 for women). The rate of completed female suicides is currently rising faster for women than men, worryingly.

It's complicated, basically.

And as always discussing suicide creates a contagion risk. If you're experiencing suicidal thoughts, please know that help is available at the national suicide prevention hotline, 800-273-8255.

Clojure is pretty cool, but I've come to understanding that as a beginner I would have been better off just learning good old Lisp.
I'm in the same boat.

I lose 1-2 tires per year due to sidewall damage from potholes. Lucky for me, the Discount Tire road hazard warranty covers that. Costs me $16/tire each time this happens.

It's so bad that I had to replace the factory wheels with aftermarket ones that wouldn't get bent from the impact.

Of course, I didn't consider changing the wheel size when I did that. I should have gone with 15" wheels and a higher ratio tire to get the same effective outside radius with more tire between the wheel and the road.

Oh well, replacing this car soon anyways as now I am in need of ground clearance and AWD due to having moved to where roads do not always exist year round.
I mean "Stop at two" isn't a particularly awful policy, yet that is sufficient to curtail population growth.

I doubt it even needs to be a policy in many countries - I don't know many people with more than two kids.
Lawsuit for what? Not providing an API for a feature you want?

It's not like Apple specifically advertised background services, then lied about it.

The device is specifically built like that, and you can buy a different phone if it's that big of an issue.

It feels like complaining your toaster doesn't have a dark enough toast setting that you want. Is there a lawsuit in that?

Small comfort for the others that died there and then.

The worry those "lacking faith" have is not that there wont be some people in 1000 years.

It's that there's gonna be bad shit happening to several generations ahead...

So, it's more like someone in 1913 worrying about Europe's future (before 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 wiped millions), than about someone in 1913 worrying whether there will be people in 2021.

I see this a lot working with grad students and professors.

Older than a certain age = much more likely to have less experience with computers as they didn't grow up learning how to use them/only learned specific tasks and applications as needed for work and online communication/shopping/etc.

Younger than a certain age = much more likely to only have experience with mobile, "apps", and turnkey solutions. Knows the details of popular platforms but little in terms of troubleshooting, workarounds, or generally anything that can't be solved by clicking a link or pointing to a picture on a screen.

Granted, there are loads of exceptions because, as you say, there's nothing stopping you from learning about something if you have an interest. It's more a matter of who has run across a need to look into something in the course of their life. If you grew up in the period between personal computers becoming common and the explosion of web apps/mobile devices, chances are you had to figure out how to do something at some point. That's not necessarily the case before or after.
>I’d bet that most work happens on mobile devices, can you remember a day when you didn’t read email or use slack or teams on your phone?

I remember today pretty well.

The reason mobile devices aren't taken seriously as "computers" is because they're locked down and they're still treated as second class by most services. If I go on google.com right now, search for something and filter results by time then on a mobile device I can only choose between a few presets that go up to a year ago. On a desktop device (or requesting desktop mode before (!!) going onto google.com) I can enter arbitrary dates to filter by. This is the most popular website and it doesn't have feature parity on mobile today.

Mobile ui is also fairly unpleasant to work with compared to an actual computer. Typing is significantly slower too - I can only manage up to 40 wpm on a phone compared to 120+ on desktop.

I think mobile doesn't attract the kind of tinkering that desktop and laptop computers do because they're locked down. This leads to things not improving in a similar manner that they did on desktops. If I wanted to do programming on a phone, could I actually do it? The phones are clearly more powerful than desktops from ~10-15 years ago, but it was certainly easier to start programming with a desktop 10 years ago than it is to do it with a phone today.

Edit: everything on mobile seems to be so commercialized too. It's to the extent that it seems to push out actual free (gratis) software without monetization. Instead we get "free, but with ads". (Thanks, app stores.)
Or how about bicycles?

I can't speak for China, but in Europe everybody I know who bought a Hauwei phone did so because they wanted a 'cheaper Samsung'.

"Gitlab CEO here, getting rich and feeling proud" [1] ;-) – congrats to the Sid, Dmitriy, and the rest of the Gitlab team. Always appreciated your presence on HN.

We've been GitLab customers for 2-3 years now (what was attractive was having "everything in one SaaS subscription") and it's worked out quite well.

There's always papercuts for sure and the product could always use more polish, but overall it has been nice to have most of our dev processes under one umbrella.

Now when is Hashicorp going public? I've got my wallet ready for that one.

It doesn't require financial acumen to follow a lead that has qualified a deal. It is technically possible to form syndicates that corral millions of small checks (Blockchain) to follow leads. And while startups are risky, the investing discipline is simple: spread your bets among several "qualified deals", like poker. Anyone skeptical of this should download Fantasy Startup at Doriot.com which is working to qualify non-millionaires as SEC Accredited....you'll quickly discover that everyone can (and should) be investing in startups. All that needs to happen is, first, education, and second, scaled access. Scaled access will follow once there is a large and growing educated population of Mainstreet investors. The average age of the Accredited investor is close to 60 years old....while 98% of GenZ's and Millennials don't qualify. Does it really make sense to cockblock the generations that should be investing (given they have time and ability to take on risk) and they have to live with the investing decisions of today?
Would you prefer a monopoly where only Williams Sonoma can advertise on WS keywords? I’m sure if you wanted to start a little premium homewares brand you’d feel differently. Bidding on competitor keywords allows small and big brands to compete for the same transactions, and allows brands to introduce alternatives to customers who might only have one giant brand top of mind.

Defensive branded search is generally only a fraction of budget anyway. I don’t find this practice the least bit onerous or extractive from Google — they’re just allowing for competition, as they should.
Sidewalls are critical for NVH at higher speeds, as well as fuel economy. But a demo of a tire on a car going 55 mph doesn't make sense, so they are able to remove the sidewalls for these stationary photoshoots and low speed rolling tests.
Look at what Hunter has been doing and how that makes the President and his office look. Think about how you feel about that. Ivanka is completely irrelevant to that analysis. Ivanka is not a standard of behavior.

Surely Biden's DoJ will prosecute Ivanka for each and every law breaking activity. Why wouldn't they? Hunter is completely irrelevant to that.

Corruption has to go no matter who, no matter where, no matter what, no matter how politically inexpedient. There's plenty of legal corruption. Pick the 5 kinds of corruption you think are the worst for the nation and also are not illegal. It's harder than it sounds but not because you can't get to 5.

Anyway this is ceasing to be productive as is so often the case. "Those guys suck, my team is fine." The disease of corruption rages on with no real change in sight.
Also, there sometimes isn't a good separation between the browser and the page itself. For example, I use a dark theme on my browser and was on a site that had a dark nav bar above their logo. They also had another navigation area, so I didn't even notice the top nav bar. I couldn't figure out how to log out of the site due to that.
Is a rhetoric question asking a question? Although, I suppose the choice of punctuation was more akin to tonal inflection than rhetoric.
Getting sun is awesome. Just be reasonable and dont over expose yourself, especially mid day sun. The key is moderate, daily exposure of skin without lotions on it blocking it. Your skin will adapt as the seasons change, you will have stronger immune systems, better mood, etc.

Piggybacking the comment about Georgia becoming less attractive and competitive for good faculty, in 2015 Wisconsin significantly weakened the tenure system as well. I was curious about the affect of that decision and found this recently published paper:

https://peer.asee.org/impacts-of-governmental-policy-actions...

As a note, Wisconsin simultaneously weakened tenure and cut the university budget, which makes it difficult to distinguish the affect of each change. Nevertheless, the net result was fewer faculty and increased class size. Personally, I agree with your sentiment. This makes Georgia far less attractive for good faculty and those with options will go elsewhere.
This is the same issue I have with Javascript. If you don't have to use something, you just won't, or maybe I'm just lazy.

We see this among students who come to American universities from certain parts of Asia: serious knowledge of syntax, but not able to navigate the OS, use the IDE, or compile the code. I've heard this same scenario of learning programming on paper from multiple countries.

And, also, if you know the syntax of a few languages cold, but you have no creative practice at problem-solving, are lacking foundational computer science concepts and practice, then by the time you are in college or grad school, another language may have come along, while you may have to struggle to apply existing knowledge and creativity to new tools (which is the point of a CS degree).

Some students have no mental toolkit to rely on other than brute force memorizing the syntax of a new language. The difference is highly noticeable, even at a low level of college work.
> I have never seen someone try to use Pauli matrices to solve a trigonometry problem, but it can certainly be done.

The Pauli matrices in this context are isomorphic to quaternions, which certainly have been used to solve geometric problems in 3 dimensions (although not necessarily by physicists), as has been discussed many many times here on HN. The property of describing spin-1/2 particles (i.e. generating SU(2)) is precisely the same property that makes the quaternions amenable for use in reasoning about 3D rotations!
It's not a either/or situation. We can work on both, Space and Saving the Earth in fact are likely deeply tied together IMO. Space exploration has so many important technologies needed that I can't imagine it not being a massive step in the right direction.

For what it's worth, I personally think she's dead wrong, chiefly because she's forgetting that inflation is primarily a monetary phenomenon. In an environment where governments and central banks are strongly biased in favor of printing money, I see the possibility of deflation as extremely small.
