I'd say consumer boycott makes you feel better and you should partake in it if you want to keep your integrity.

Still it is not the way to change things:

"All in all, I think it is a mistake to defend people’s rights with one hand tied behind our backs, using nothing except the individual option to say no to a deal. We should use democracy to organize and together impose limits on what the rich can do to the rest of us. That’s what
democracy was invented for!" -- Richard Stallman

America doesn't "track" students and teaches everybody. Other countries flush away the lower performing students to non-academic education as the years progress.

This study was about 13-year olds. Most countries "flush away" (thank you for using a gratuitously denigrating term here) their students after 13, not before.
It's not hypothetical that prostitution is often called the world's oldest profession for a reason. Power dynamics that can seem unfair and might be abused exist in human relationships, like it or not, and have since time immemorial. Don't even look at the animal kingdom. It's not prettier.

Also, the relationship between an escort and a client is absolutely not a "parasocial relationship." You're abusing that term. Escorts and their clients have real relationships, even if you have a problem with the fact that they're based on transactional intimacy.
Just like with ousting dictators, that would leave a power vacuum which will be filled ASAP by an equally evil corporation, since Amazon proved what one can get away with.

The solution is to legislate companies with despicable practices out of business, but that ship has sailed some time in the '70s -'80s when globalization and unscrupulous capitalism kicked into fifth gear.
I understand the irony but you have to admit that TikTok has insane reach, especially to younger people.
You're missing the distinction between isomorphic and identical.

Your two types are isomorphic. They are not equal.
You got lucky. It's not solving the problem. You just tripped at the right angle.

It's a little like saying that you didn't get hurt when you had a car accident without a seat belt, therefore you have no need for seatbelts.
Here is a much better study and summary of the main failures than what I could ever write on this comment section [1].

Yeah thanks...now i have systemd :)
I just upgraded from an iPhone 6s to a lightly used 2020 SE for around $300 and I have to say, I didn't get it till I got it.

I don't take photos and browsing hacker news is probably the most computing-intensive thing I do on my phone, but I'm really enjoying the longer battery life and general responsiveness of the new device. I kinda wish I'd upgraded sooner.
The suggestion being made is that bugs and vulnerabilities are being fixed without adding new features, in order to provide a safe but very stable feature set.
Well, what's the alternative? You can either have a truly mulitcultural society like China, where the government spends a lot of effort elevating minority cultures, building cultural centers, and arabizing the infrastructure; or you can have a deeply racist society that leaves its minority population to rot in prisons and sewers, or to leave it to its worst vices, all in the name of so-called "freedom".
The problem is that the manager's behavior is likely a result of incentives. It's not that managers at amazon are worse people than managers at other companies. And if their incentives make it so hard for them to allow longer breaks or help employees that are feeling unwell, it is Amazon's fault that this happened.
China’s reach extends into the Chinese emigrant communities in foreign lands. Some believe it’s because they are afraid of dissent organising abroad.

You can legally opt out of the working time limits in most professions, except for limited few like truck drivers. I'm yet to see an employment contract that doesn't have a clause for the opt out. I work as a programmer contracted for 37.5h/week but of course there's a clause in my contract to say I agree to work more "if needed"(never had to in my 7 years of work here, but still).
I don't think everyone thinks "in language" all the time. I certainly find it much more efficient to think in abstract concepts and only compile them down to language when I need to communicate them.
The reality is that despite being spun to a willing press as "human trafficking raids", these raids extremely rarely involve any human trafficking, and 99% of the woman being arrested, having their money confiscated, given criminal records, have their photos and names published online, lose their children etc. are in fact those same marginalized women who the state purports to want to help/save.
There is a lot that you can do, pointing out a single manager as scapegoat for systematic failure won't solve anything.

You can make sure that the incentives in the organisation aligns with preventing deaths like these.

You can educate your workforce.

You can hire more people.

And so on.
The incentives matter: what is the process that the manager is expected to follow? What is the impact on the manager's own employment metrics for allowing sick employees to leave?

(Note that the latter is a problem in lots more places; see "Bradford factor")
>So being in the news for literally working people to death is quite possibly suboptimal for the shareholders.

I mean, history and AMZN's share price would suggest otherwise.
I wonder if you have the setting to 3 months or none, then later change it to forever, do old recordings suddenly show back up?
I agree that the person directly responsible for this tragedy is the manager, but this category of cockups almost always has systemic reasons.

In other words, we can punish the local manager, but that won't fix the fact that the corporate leadership of Amazon seems to foster an environment where this kind of management is accepted and perhaps even encouraged.

I have never worked at Amazon (and by the sounds of things, I never want to either), but it sounds like a dystopian nightmare. And we should not be surprised when people optimize their behavior to the dystopian nightmare if that's the environment that they have to succeed in.
Adding an extra layer is expensive (and done in pairs). As others mentioned, when you go to manufacture your boards, you export each layer into its own file, zip them all up and then send/upload the files to your manufacturer. Either you will notice the extra files, or when you put in your order, the manufacturer will reject the order as you gave them the wrong number of files (eg: you paid for 4 layers, but sent them 6). The file format of the layers is basically a vector in ASCII of each trace, so there is little opportunity to hide extra stuff.

More and more manufacturers with online ordering show you images of what they think each layer looks like, and any modifications unless they are very slight will be detected then. You always review each layer in the manufacturers tool as there is a host of things that can go wrong (layer ordering, mirroring, alignment, copper vs solder mask vs silkscreen layer types).

Adding extra components is out too, as the Bill of Materials is exported to CSV, then imported into several component suppliers websites. Any non-basic component is carefully scrutinized for need as they are expensive (and these days hard to get) and to make sure you have everything you need to actually build the board as any non-trivial board requires multiple suppliers to provide all of the components. Even if you missed it then, assembly charges a significant amount per unique component they have to place on the board (eg: placing same resistor twice is cheaper than 2 different resistors).

Once the board is assembled, it will then likely undergo EMI testing to comply with various countries limits on how much RF can leak out of the product. In quite a few cases, final testing is done by a 3rd party lab. This basically limits whatever data exfiltration method to be short range.

If someone wanted to be evil, they would have much better luck on the software side of the product rather than at the board level.
The problem is that the floor is lava.
They probably use their own compression internally (not a suitable format for users).

But I'm surprised they didn't send these wav files in extremely high samplerate, to annoy those who request the data.
Right, but if the compiler has proved that you don't need those null checks then you can simply remove them. If you think you do need them then it's a sign you've screwed up somewhere and should fix it!
The notorious military contractor Blackwater rebranded to 'Xe Services' in 2009. They were coming off a lot of heat 2007 incident where their employees killed a number of Iraqi citizens. I remember hearing that the name change was meant to obfuscate the company as searching for Xe didn't yield many results in search or documents. And Blackwater sounds dangerous. Newspapers continued to use "the company formerly known as Blackwater". Even wikipedia has it under Blackwater.

In 2011, they went a step further and changed their name again to 'Academi', which is pretty funny.

Your arguments are correct, but the conclusion does not result from them.

If we assume that underflows happen in your program and this, as you say, is a sign that greater problems will be caused by that, then you must not enable flush-to-zero, but you must enable trap-on-underflow, to see where underflows happen and to investigate the reason and maybe rearrange your formulas to avoid the too small results.

Flush-to-zero may sometimes lead to crashes, when it becomes obvious that something is wrong, but more often you just get some results with large errors that are difficult to distinguish from good results.

Opinions obviously vary, but I have never seen any good use case for flush-to-zero.

Underflows are either so rare that their performance does not matter, or if they are so frequent that flush-to-zero will increase the speed, then your code has a problem and the formulas should be restructured, which will both increase the speed and eliminate the loss of precision.
You need to go where you audience is. There's not much point telling people on HN that Amazon stores your data, most of us already know
It expired. He didn’t sell.
And I'm sure the stated policy even within Amazon is that a medical issue should be immediately reported and a medic called. If the manager disregarded that policy for whatever perceived or real incentive...then that's still their fault.
Well that's what the union would say. We did this. You are welcome.

His point is that they are interfering with employer/employees relationship, and skim a percentage. One could argue the unions aren't getting the best deals in the long run, and skim a percentage on top. The amount of corruption those involved get tempted to participate in is significant, hard to know what we don't know.
What I observe is that more prestigious jobs get away without unions getting in the way. In tech, there is generally a distrust in political factions forming to supposedly fight for employees benefits. Perhaps well paid workers figured there is no need for fighting against well paying employers, for discrete reasons.
Amazon warehouse employees? If it's so bad, leave. It's just feeding the beast to accept the now well known conditions there.

Of course you can build things on top of files. But most people don't, they use files directly, and therefore get "bullied" (which I think is a very apt term) into load/edit/save cycles of file-shaped chunks.

Application programmers could be provided with a better storage API, either as a library or as a standard from the platform. The result would be better software with little work from the application programmer's side. I'm not a Mac person anymore, but I believe they have something like this in the form of CoreData (no idea of it's good or not), and I imagine Windows has seven things that you can either use or not.

An analogy would be how it's possible to build something that resembles concurrent processing and top of any single-tasking system, but a platform that doesn't provide it as a built-in will be very different to a platform that does.

Non-UNIX operating systems had structured data as a core part of their libraries. This was probably a good idea that got lost thrown aside by some people call "the minimalist elegance of UNIX", which other people, including I imagine my GP post, have less endearing terms for.

Global extreme poverty falling isn't due to neoliberalism, or at least show me a source saying so.

I left another comment on the thread with this study [1] which I recommend to anyone wanting to dispute that neoliberalism has failed.

About the US from this study:

> Third, where we have seen a reduction in poverty, it has come from government action, not
from education. The earned income tax credit (EITC) and minimum wage, for example,
are the systematic levers that raised wages for lower-wage workers—not skills. In 1967, the
poverty rate was 27 percent without tax credits and benefits. That number is 29 percent
now, but it is 16 percent when tax credits and benefits are applied. The EITC has pulled
many people out of poverty.

Appeal to authority is only a fallacy when the authority is not an actual authority on the exact topic being mentioned.

Your broader point is right; obviously if we stop to poke at certain assumptions, the occasional one will collapse.

However, the pathway you’ve just suggested is less practical than you think. The GP is talking about a systematic, coordinated exploration effort of known unknowns.

Metaphorically - he/she is saying that there’s more likely to be gold at the unexplored end of gold mine, not in the excavated dirt.

It’s a fair assumption to keep in practise.
Sure, but this argument could be used for any statement. It's not very compelling.

We've been here before (hell, 3% looked massive back then, and in a much smaller market). Marketshare is not an issue, the relationship with the community is. A strong community, united around a core of values and secure that the product is built with these values at heart, will evangelize such product out of a niche. Unfortunately, the current Mozilla leadership doesn't seem to understand that significant chunks of its community have lost the faith.

I dunno, it's really well written (at least chapters 1-9 are, because they were re-written) and the graphs are to die for.

It definitely has a bunch of theorems and proofs that may not be necessary, but the overall flow isn't lost by skipping the ones above your mathematical maturity level.

To be fair though, I also love TAOCP, and have worked through 1.5 chapters at this point.

I started my career in the defense industry and I try to avoid it now. On a philosophical level, I wasn't totally comfortable designing weapon systems with the express purpose of killing people. But also on a practical level, the defense industry can be extremely fickle (programs get funded or cancelled based on politics or the endless mergers), slow moving, and is pretty old fashioned with the work style, pay, and perks we take for granted in tech.
co2 emissions is just one of the sustainability dimensions. Biodiversity is another one. We need forests (and other non-managed areas) to give the rest of nature (literally) some room to breathe.

I would browse it and find a fair number of people meeting up and playing games.

But, I also found a lot of people just hanging out too. Shopping, occupying spaces and talking about stuff. The stay home spouse talking shit about their partner to a friend was pretty common too.

The VR bit you wrote resonates with me. I have similar questions. But the idea of a 3D space itself works for plenty of people.

But you need to make money. Not everyone is in a position where they can afford taking unpaid time off or quit a job because it's unhealthy. It's the employers responsibility to make sure workers can handle the workload.

Hiring the kind of people who hang out here to deploy heavy math and legal expertise to squeeze every last drop out of the vulnerable is exactly what Dickens was barking about.

Rich people have gotten a lot of mileage out of convincing everyone that they’re a temporarily impoverished millionaire. The body politic is starting to get wise to this hustle (again) and the last bastion of dumbass Ayn Rand “socialism for me, but not for thee” tripe seems to be the temporarily impoverished tech billionaires on HN.

> the legal protections are not a worthy tradeoff for privacy.

I don't think it really conveys any meaningful legal protections. I suspect it allows you to operate, but it won't mean that you will be treated with the same respect that a non escort would have got.

They are still not allowed to use normal payment providers, they cannot form companies, they cannot operate their own premises, with security (as that would border on prostitution, which is a stupid distinction)

Think of it as the police allowing pot dealers, even though it was still illegal to posses.
My (Phonak) hearing aids had a multi-week ramp-up to full power, in order to give my brain time to slowly adjust. Dealing with things like the occlusion effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occlusion_effect) just takes time, and getting used to something being in your ear for a large number of hours per day.
Also not really sensible as a basis for arguments about the valuation of the company, as their business is seasonal.
>And pretend this won't contribute to inflation either directly or indirectly!

Why is inflation the devil? Why should I care about inflation? When people have money and they spend it prices rise and companies will invest to produce more. If you keep inflation low by telling people that they don't matter then the economy won't matter to those people.

>Then publicly shame companies for raising prices and propose price controls as a political salve

I honestly don't care. If prices rise then there is more room for competitors and growth.

>then shame those companies when the price controls lead to shortages

Yeah sure but a basic stance against price ceilings is only logical. Minimum prices are not ideal but during a shortage they don't really ruin anything. Price ceilings are obviously bad because they do not help with inflation and just act as a general ban on trade altogether. What I personally find strange is that employer imposed price ceilings receive no scrutiny.
A lot of the wood is imported (via oil-burning ships). At one point I tried to calculate the impact of Drax shifting to wood pellets from Canada, and concluded that if it was limited to local wood it would consume every tree in the UK within a year. I may have my maths wrong, but European forests are a resource that's been depleted for centuries..

The other decent alternative for some of these problems are often some flavour of messaging queues and event sourcing. E.g for the chat system you could probably shoot messages through a broker and then send a "chat finish" message. The disadvantage of this is if your broker is under heavy load then your chat app will perform linearly worse under increasing load while using the actors and state mean you can have a lot more stuff happening concurrently without the problems of waiting for events to go through a queue hence the latency advantages. Let alone if your servers are ephemeral and changing constantly then that's just another level of complexity to manually roll to keep your session state going that pretty much comes out the box to a production standard in akka persistence and sharding.
Same. I am aware that many, if not all, companies are not pure and at the end aim to increase their shareholders profits. Some even build products that can be used to do evil, but for me the gambling industry is all evil, there is no good use for their products.

Why? This is an additional variable. You can add additional area in both cases. Why would burning coal add some land that you can plant new forests, and burning wood not?
