Decoupling health insurance contracts from employment is absolutely necessary, though not sufficient. Do it like the UK, do it like Germany, or do something else, but as long as the health insurance contract itself (not just the payment of some or all of it) is through one’s employer, a lot of otherwise financially stable people in the US are utterly at their employers’ mercy.
Owners do not want dividends. I do not want dividends from my tech stocks if I’m simply going to turn around and reinvest in them. That is just paying extra short term capital gains taxes when you do not have to.
I think this is a fascinating subject that touches on how human general purpose intelligence works. I've spent decades working with C like languages and by now I find them hugely helpful thinking tools.

I did some optimization work on a bilinear bitmap upscaler recently [1]. There were times in the middle of that work where I felt like I was sitting watching someone else do it for me. Not physically watching, but more like a part of my brain was doing it automatically. The amount of state in scope at once is too big to fit into my working memory (maybe I'm weak at this), so the work has to be symbolic manipulation. It feels like there are patterns in the symbol manipulation that my brain can do with minimal effort. Somehow the result is that I can write (hopefully) correct code that is beyond my ability to comprehend without the notation. The fact that I don't understand how I understand it contributes to the feeling that someone else wrote it for me.

The problem I have looking at APL is that it doesn't look like it would help with this kind of work. The examples in the paper are all mathematical and abstract. I'd like to see some real-world practical examples, where performance matters, IO is fiddly and memory layout is part of the API. And instead of the problem domain being "differentiating a polynomial", I'd rather it was decoding the Huffman data out of a JPEG, or implementing a video game's collision detection system. My feeling is that C like notations are better for that type of thing. Maybe that isn't what APL is supposed to be good at. However, the paper starts by saying APL is needed because maths notation is not universal.

OP in this thread is basically saying that EU should not point fingers toward other nations when they have enough clean-up to do at home. I am arguing that EU, while flawed in its execution of that duty, is actively doing just that. What exactly do you think I am saying?
There are no US bases there anymore, so there are no helicopters in range. A heli range is around 400 miles max and about the closest the US could get is a navy ship 600+ miles away, requiring a helicopter with a 1200+ mile range.
I think they've realized that privacy centrism creates an industry in which the EU can compete well, independently from the US and China. Or at least I hope so.
ChromeOS is a lot more than a glorified browser these days. Android apps are a big part of the experience, and the linux subsystem is one toggle away to runs alongside.

The only real show stoppers left are the usually wimpy hardware it comes with and the lack of polish, but otherwise it has come a long way. I would completely consider switching to it instead of linux if I had a Dell laptop for instance.
Did you mean single pixel? Even with a single color, a camera provides a wealth of information. Radar is not quite a single pixel - there is speed, phase, and timing information - but it's much closer to a single pixel than to a monochrome camera. The driving radar I mean. The kit on used in aerospace sweeps out an area so it's more like a camera in the actual output.

Side note: Sorry about your uncle, but I do wish to point out, radar is non ionizing and extremely unlikely to cause mutation. What is more likely carcinogenic is stuff like degreasers, paints, fluids, and open burn pits the military likes to use.

I really wish we had less kneejerk cliche-recycling (eg "don't be evil" comments) commenters here just looking for confirmation bias because this is a difficult issue.

First, kids use sites and apps when they're below the ToS age (usually 18 or sometimes 13, at least in the US). How are you meant to know that as a service provider? Don't get me wrong: it doesn't excuse you from doing due diligence. There's such a thing as wanton disregard for the truth. But we all know under 18s use IG, Snapchat, Tinder, etc. I'm not sure fining a company billions of dollars and putting executives in jail is the outcome anyone really wants if a 17 year old uses Tinder.

Second, what is personal information, exactly? It's not as obvious as you might think to the point where lawyers who work for these companies can't agree among themselves. There are obvious things (eg IP addresses, dates of birth, SSNs, addresses, names). But what about media? Photos, videos and sound files may all contain PII, technically.

Third, some will say "well don't store anything". Well, if a photo contains PII (which it can) then you can't operate a photo-sharing service at all for risk of storing PII of children. Also, this ignores legal obligations. If the Feds show up with a warrant about a particular user's actions then the argument "we log/store nothing" won't get you as far as you think.

So I'm not saying Google didn't do wrong here but knowing the complexities I am sympathetic to the idea of resisting broad legislative overreach as you can end up with bad laws that do just that.

And if we're going to start singling out tech giants for lobbying Congress, my question is why them in particular? We currently have a Senate that is essentially beholden to the personal interests of one unelected rich guy: Charles Koch. Koch lobbies against health care, taxes on the rich and infrastructure in the Senate. Around the country, he has been instrumental in defeating public transit and many other initiatives in many cities.

I wish RSS discovery were better. I got so angry one time when I left my prepaid mobile data on and accidentally downloaded 12 of the same introductory episode because I had auto-download turned on and Wondery podcast network put out a preview on all 12 feeds I was subscribed to of theirs.

It frustrated me enough to look at ways I could support RSS and introduce a new means of discovery, but as it turns out, RSS is a finished spec and the authors requested that any changes to the spec happen under a new protocol and a new name. I ended up creating a new feed spec I've been cobbling together that supports better discovery. Check it out, https://readme.loud.so/

the TL;DR is that feeds can be treated as a show feed with a singular show, or as a network feed with multiple shows, allowing for a feed player consuming the new feed to provide UI elements that let a user select which of the network's shows they'd like to subscribe to, as well as a means to prompt the user when a new show is added to the network feed.

Also big shouts out to the podcast2.0 community who has been very welcoming along the way, they are doing great things within the confines of RSS as it stands.

Google hasn't been shy about their own cash for kids(' data) schemes. It's also pretty wild how similar their market creation tactics are (and how beneficial they would be) to groomers other child exploiters.

What are advertising and privacy protection laws regarding children like in other counties? Could Google have happened somewhere with stronger consumer and child protection laws?
I know some projects that use that policy. Here's an example off the top of my head: https://github.com/apple-open-source-mirror/objc4/blob/fd675....

This is pretty great.

Some folks in the thread are suggesting using a binary format, and that's certainly a good idea for some.

My business sells software that collects moderately sized (10-100TB/day) , and this data is collected as PROTOBUF. The format is great, and coordinating the backend and client side stuff with protobuf is bliss.

However, we store the data in various relational and document databases. Neither of those use protobuf...

Most importantly, it's business critical to be able to stream this data to data lakes where it can be read by humans. None of the options are going to support protocol buffers, you're either going to have to write a parser (impossible for some) or transform to JSON before ingest (fairly expensive due to some poor choices in how to represent various fields).

It was a sound technical decision to use protoc , and a terrible choice for the business.

I think it would have been much better to use avro, still benefit from schemas but push the work of marshaling JSON back to clients...
The dropping of higher bids is the biggest revelation here. I would guess that higher bids would be dropped if they didn’t meet a max response time, maybe bids from Google were given a speed advantage to get under this max time.

> Classes in JavaScript are just sugar around functional closures.

One of the key red flags I look for in articles like this are whenever the "overhead" of classes is mentioned, such as with "there’s no need to allocate space to a class instance", without any actual metrics showing what this "space overhead" or "performance penalty" amounts to.

It seems like more of a misconception about how JavaScript works. There may be some overhead, but do we know what it actually is in a real world application? Or are we just going on assumptions about what we feel is "light" versus "heavy", often frequently with a biased opinion because we simply don't like OOP concepts?
This may not be true, if you are comfortable sharing the amount, I may be able to help you.

No, it’s not because that. It barely has a “verse”. They just don’t like the traction it’s getting and the anti narrative it promotes.

I use Rust a little these days but still find the “wizzgrep just like grep but in mother-frakking (party horn) ruuuuuust” off-putting.

I think advertising the language is useful in two contexts only.

- it’s JavaScript (so available on the client end)
- it’s a library FOR x_lang.

I mean — a mini-kanren written in Prolog would be droll, as would a REST API framework for NetLogo, but anything that’s useful is useful.

Ask HN: What is the most cost-effective videoconferencing setup?
I search for older post only to find this 9 year old one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5592554). A lot have change since then, but I'm somewhat surprised that - even though we've had a global pandemic that increased the demand - is still sucks(?).

There is always somebody that has CPU problems, WiFi problems, internet problems, AirPod noise canceling problems – all which makes the sound experience unbearable (and there is no intuitive feedback from the system that can help people to improve their issues either). Appliances that you add to meeting rooms are mostly crap; costly, poor sound, not reliable, not intuitive to use and integrate with other systems. People end up using one laptop within a group of people, making the remote experience very bad.

Anyone have particular experiences with good setups or guiding principles (that actually work) wherever you are?
You can escalate to legal for edge cases, but you should be able to handle base cases yourself. As an example, I work at Google on an Apache 2.0-licensed open source project, and we have dozens of third party dependencies: https://github.com/google/nomulus/blob/master/core/build.gra...

It wouldn't remotely scale across Google if we had to escalate to legal every single time we pulled in a new dependency. Instead, there's a company-wide allowlist of accepted software licenses, and you only need legal help for exceptions beyond that.

So yes, we do have to know some basics of software licensing. It's just part of being a SWE.

Can we just step back and recognise that the elephant in the room here is advertising?

No matter your views on Google, Apple or Facebook, the issue here is nefarious practices predicated on the implied right for these companies to make money from you by polluting your internet experience with injected, paid for, content.

I'll play devil's advocate for a second and say that "not all advertising is bad", but the fact that this even reached court should tell you what the companies involved care about.

We really need to regulate online advertising. My personal opinion is that we should eradicate it and let the cards fall where they will, but that's unpopular and unrealistic for many valid reasons.

I'm not sure they ever meant anything concrete. The editor of the local newspaper has been conservative longer than I've been alive, and still wrote opinion pieces arguing in favor of trans rights, BLM, marriage equality, and other modern "conservative" rage points from what he considered conservative first principles. His argument boiled down to: people who spent decades screaming about people coming for their rights can't turn around and deny rights to others.

Most conservatives I've met are not like that. What does the word mean when two people can have such contradictory understandings?

For example:

>> "If you think about it, communism is all about: one book, one news channel, one social media controlled by the government."

I've never met a communist who would agree with this, but I'm sure they exist. The communists I know are more about forming communities and cultures of mutual support by mutual consent, and they read lots of books.

It seems you haven't run the process you used to reach your feelings on liberal and conservative on other terms. This word is just as hard to pin down.

While I generally agree with you, sadly that hasn't been true for a few years already, by now a select few tech companies control the majority of the web and increasingly even own more and more of it [0]

In many developing countries Facebook is acting as sudo-ISP, for millions, if not over a billion, people, FB is literally the whole web they experience, they don't know anything else and they've been very successfully convinced that they don't even want anything else.

15 years ago I used exactly zero web apps in my daily work and life. Today I use exclusively web/electron/react native apps: VSCode, Slack, Google Docs (which I’m perfectly happy with), GitHub, Figma, Miro, etc. And my retired mum also uses web apps while she used none 15years ago: Facebook, Facebook Mobile, Gmail, etc. And clearly these cases are representative of a large part of the population, judging by the revenue of companies with Web tech based UIs. So yes, web tech is winning.
You can and should still write mostly pure functional components. The difference for me is that I don't need a container component to manage state and side effects now. I can abstract those behaviors into hooks and test them in isolation.

I worked on a database engine that uses JSON as communication protocol. Sure, most messages are small, but for a system processing JSONs 24/7 it quickly sums a lot.

The main issues see had with our codec was memory allocation and the big number of "if" in the code.

I tried to use simdjson, but there were concerns at that time about portability and long term support. It's nice to see that in retrospective we were wrong.
Right, but this sort of thing isn’t usually used when that’s an actual option, like a small team or single developer.

Things like this and QT aren’t usually the alternative to “native applications for every platform”, it’s the alternative to “Native application only runs on one platform”, or “Uses Electron”.
I have never written anything in F# and I have no familiarity with the language, so I'm speaking more from my (IMO quite basic) familiarity with Haskell and Clojure, and most especially the former. In Haskell composition is just such a natural part of the design of programmes, and yes, functions often have many arguments. One just designed with composition in mind so this "piping" works really easily.
> people fail to realize that rule of law is the single greatest defense against tyranny that we have.

This purist view ignores the fact that not all laws are good. Many laws are in fact bad, and it’s important for them to be challenged.

As an example, many here would agree that the DMCA is a bad law. It’s a law that is generally only enforceable by wealthy players.

There are many bad laws on the books. Those laws do not get equally applied to everyone in society. The fact that we have bad laws, implies that applying them will lead to bad outcomes. This is partly why having an unbiased appellate court to review the laws and throw out the bad ones is so important. Sadly much of the appellate court has also become corrupted, but at least the system is there to ideally correct bad laws and allow for blind application of justice.
So a SWE just needs to see if the set of allowed licenses contains the project license. That doesn’t require any knowledge of the license itself, other than “they exist”.

It wasn't a request for "all and any data". From the article:

> Tesla however only supplies a specific subset of signals, only the ones requested, for a specific timeframe, whereas the log files contain all the recorded signals

Tesla provided exactly what was requested and nothing more. Now that the government knows what is more in the data they can request that too, even if it's irrelevant to the investigations.
