Kind of interesting that to the north in Oakland there are currently six empty berths at the port which has been running more smoothly than ever because of the new logistics facility that was built just before the pandemic and allows containers to be dropped off or left on truck trailers ready to roll when drivers show up. This is a sign that current problems will clear up as extremes of demand and piles of empty containers begin to balance out.

Well, depends on how you define ‘heavily’. Theranos did hide a lab, but even beyond that they were depending on rules that allowed novel tests with very minimal oversight, provided they were done in a lab rather than in the field.

Accountability is half the point, actually. For example, if there's a coworker you know promises verbally then later says that never happend or they don't remember, get it in email. Likewise if you want to be sure you're on the record of "I don't agree with this idea."

> Binary trees during the hiring process for software engineers is not a part of the entire industry. I'd be surprised if it was even the majority. But it is prevalent, and posts pop up here regularly disparaging it.

Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, Apple, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Snap, RobinHood, Walmart, Twilio, Uber, DoorDash, ... (we can continue down the list of US / western technology companies here for quite some time), all ask technical questions following the standard data structures, algorithms and system design format. They don't specifically ask for binary trees, but Google doesn't specifically ask that question either. There is no standard for the entire industry, but this method is common, to pretend otherwise is disingenuous .

> Places lean into Google's way of doing things by default without demonstrating that it leads to positive outcomes _for their business_. Google themselves do it due to no small part to compensate for the pitfalls of getting as big as they have. Pointing out that what they do is ubiquitous and inherently optimal is conflating scale with success.

There are multiple assumptions here on your part. One is that this is something that occurs due to scale. Please prove it. The on-site process outlined takes engineering time, and is costly. It's multiple hours long, brings in multiple engineers, and requires lengthy discussions afterwards. Surely there's something that scales better if that were the motivation here?

The second assumption is places blindly follow Google's lead, with no further analysis on their own if it' beneficial to their business. This is mindbogglingly presumptuous considering the million / billion / trillion dollar companies with highly capable engineering / HR leaders on that list. You obviously know better than them with the data they've collected?

The above is outside my original point: This thread is not a question of engineering ability. It's a systemic management failure. Latching on to anything negative re: Google / Big Tech to vent your frustrated at the hiring process, and how see! it lets in those who aren't intelligent, capable, etc. is a reflection of your own emotional state.

Also, anyone handling a gun, even a prop gun, should be aware of and follow the rules of gun safety. The fact Baldwin didn't check the weapon himself is an enormous act of negligence on his part. You don't just take someone's word for whether or not a weapon is dangerous, ever. Nobody ignorant of weapons safety should even be in the same damn room as a gun. I don't blame Baldwin personally, but whomever is responsible for fostering an on-set culture and policy that would ever allow this to happen deserves to be in prison.
Yep, people who are interested can immediately and directly engage with the author of the thread on any single point.

Medium had the right idea allowing people to highlight specific items in a post and comment on them, but I think people prefer a forum over long form articles.
I always wonder why Google doesn’t do an Apple and turn off all advertising on Google phones. Selling hardware and subscriptions has proved to be more yielding than advertising. With Fuchsia on horizon, Google can literally own the entire ecosystem from desktop to mobile.
Sorry, you're right. I'm concerned about big tech firms collecting my personal data, which we know they do. I'm worried this will then be used to to create a profile containing all sorts of private information, which could get leaked, sold on to other companies or be shared with state agencies when they demand it. There isn't a specific threat and I don't have reason to believe I'm targeted specifically. Although I do have family in an extremely autocratic country and discuss its politics, which might be a concern as well.

My thinking is that I want to generally do as much as I can to reduce the amount of data I reveal without compromising too much on convenience. I understand that I'm still leaking a lot of data, but maybe there are some simple things I can do to reduce it at least a bit?

I’m glad to see the city of Long Beach (this person is the mayor) take this action, but it feels to me like the federal government is asleep at the wheel on this issue. So what if the containers are stacked up higher - that will relieve container ships that are parked offshore but won’t solve the crisis. There is still the issue of getting containers out of these yards. Trucks need to be scheduled and loaded efficiently to get goods to their destination and meaningfully reduce the supply chain issues. Someone needs to take over that operation, ensure labor/management (longshoremen, truckers) are doing their part, and get it resolved. It is disappointing that an issue like this can remain unresolved for months in a country labeled as a superpower.
The jab does not stop the spread though. I cite the news for the past 3 months. I'm sure you've seen it. More cases now than same time last year, when there was no vaccine? Clearly the jab did not stop the spread. Oh it's the "delta variant"? Still didn't stop the spread. It was lies (I remember).
I agree, for all functional layouting (not text) grid gives you so much for so few. You can spend a year trying various float tricks and get nowhere, or napkin write a grid layout and get going in 5 minutes.

Interesting. I given up using Raspberry Pi 4 on a project because their crap proprietary bootloader took something like 4 seconds to start the kernel. Maybe it was faster on Pi 3. I ended up buying board with Allwinner that works with U-Boot.
A few thoughts here.

1) I find it unlikely that anything propelled by a blank charge had enough oomph to hit the gal and exit her body and strike the director.

2) no one outranks safety. Anyone picking up a firearm, or being handed one, needs to verify its state, and treat it as if it was loaded.

3) Baldwin pointed it at people and pulled the trigger. It wasn’t a “misfire” or “accidental discharge”. It was a “negligent discharge”.

There were multiple violations of basic firearms safety regs here. Not a single violation is acceptable. Keep it up long enough and someone is going to be killed.
Is there HN consensus (e.g. past data signals) to block specific authors, mastheads or publications from being posted, independent of the content of an individual article?
> Actors aren't expected to know how to inspect their own firearms.

They should be ffs. Even if it's only prop guns. Basic gun safety rules aren't that hard, and most guns are easy to take apart.
Meh, the reality is that sometimes we have to be flexible. Even in the office it was sometimes hard to find a quiet place (construction, open office chats, etc.).
Trust is a weird word. Talk is cheap, what are they doing?

I think Microsoft has been behaving pretty well lately and that's worth something. With that said, I still would never "trust" them.

I don't understand people being spooked about Microsoft and open source. I've always viewed open source as a greased pig. Being open means anybody is free to fork and go elsewhere so the fact that they don't must mean a need is being met.

I think the bigger threat these days is everybody being dazzled by top to bottom closed solutions like Apple's processors. I wonder if other companies will follow suit to keep up and start vertically integrating their chips too.

Just my opinion.
> I could audit an election in the blockchain tomorrow.

No, you could confirm that a set of electronic records was internally consistent. That is only a small part of an election audit: you'd also need to confirm that only eligible voters voted a single time each and that their vote was recorded the way they intended.

Needing a multitude of people is a security advantage of the current system: it means that any attempts at cheating need a ton of people, from both parties and the local government, to collude together because there's no way to automate changing thousands of paper ballots and the corresponding seals — the real world doesn't have an “UPDATE votes SET …” shortcut.

Contrast that with a blockchain system: when it's challenged, you're in one of two situations. If all you have are electronic records, you've just reinvented the Diebold scandals of the 2000s where you're trying to assess how much you can believe that a complex software system does not contain a bug or exploitable flaw because there's no solid proof. If you use voter-validated paper ballots, you do a standard hand recount — and you don't need a blockchain at all because the thing providing security is the robust well-tested paper balloting system.
These kids these days get better docs than we ever dreamed of. And that's a good thing.
> I'm not sure that unequal relationship between employer and employee is a feature of capitalism per se

It is.

It is also a feature, to a greater or lesser extent, of many systems that are downstream descendants of capitalism and haven’t replaced the elements that produce that feature.

It is also a feature of the upstream immediate predecessor of capitalism (feudalism, in which control of the means of production is unified with land ownership and typically executive, and often judicial and legislative, power over those on it) in an even starker form.

> even in a market socialist system

“even”? Market socialism is a very close relative and (conceptually) descendant of capitalism, not some distant and opposed system.

> in which labor receives all that it produces, any individual worker depends on their employer more heavily than their employer depends on them, so you still have an imbalance of power.

In market socialism, the employer is an agent of the employees, who (in many versions) each individually hold guaranteed rights with respect to it much the same as citizens of a liberal democratic regime do against the State. Both the universal elimination of the employer fundamentally serving an interest outside of its employees and also the common (but not universal, “market socialism” is a broad category with lots of variations) guarantees of individual rights to employees exist specifically to mitigate the adverse effects of the employer/employee power balance that it retains from capitalism.
Yes, and as long as you can store it somewhere, all the power to you. Just ignore the chemical option and do that.

But anybody wanting to use the carbon or store it on any way that is not the limited amount of underground space will use both.
Absolutely. He bears responsibility for the shoddy safety protocols.
I don't particularly distrust my carrier and am not using a VPN. I'm in a country with relatively good rule of law, more worried about Apple and Google.
>How would that work in practice? A lot of us here operate websites. Your website gets a request. How are you supposed to tell the age of the person that request came from?

Idea, browsers would implement parent control, so when you setup a child account on your kid device the OS will store the age of the user, the browsers would read this. Then in the request (maybe depending or region or whatever protocol) the browser can tell you if the user age is <13 or other interval.

So this means the browsers need to collaborate with the OS and the parent has the responsibility to setup the correct user account for the user in the OS, for older OS the parent will have to setup this setting directly in browser and setup the browser in a "child" mode.
Oh, sure! But the primary purpose of regulatory enforcement is to catch people lying, and Holmes was pretty effective at exploiting the weak points in the regulatory regime to avoid that detection.

> Really? Think about what we saw when the Republicans tried to claim the 2020 election was rigged and ask how a massively complex distributed system would change that.

A massively complex system that can be validated from a single point. That is the key component.

> When someone argues that fake or dead people voted, the blockchain doesn’t help – you can show transactions but that doesn’t and cannot show that they were made by people who were eligible voters, and privacy makes it important that this never change. This is the same reason why blockchain systems like supply chain management fail: if you trust a third-party, you don’t need a blockchain. If you don’t, layering overhead on top won’t change that.

Sure, the fact that it does not solve every problem does not mean it isn't a viable improvement. It solves a large class of trust problems in elections, and is orthogonal to the remaining ones.

> The underlying problem is that a blockchain system still depends on trusted third parties. You need to verify that someone is eligible to vote and that their vote was accurately recorded. Think about all of the claims over the years about machines recording votes for a different candidate than the user selected, moving buttons right before someone clicked, etc. – there’s no way to solve that by adding more software. Did a bunch of people get bused in to vote for someone else? A blockchain cannot solve that – you need a trusted third party, and calling them an oracle doesn’t mean that’s not what they are.

This is not necessarily the case. Cryptographic tokens can be issued to eligible voters. Yes, you still need to trust that the issuing authority is legitimate. But that is much easier to validate. Anyone who feels they are eligible but didn't receive one can say so. Anyone who did receive one can validate that their vote was counted.

> What does work is the current system: the fact that bipartisan witnesses watched people being checked against voter rolls, paper being counted, and recounted, etc. meant that most people accepted the results. It’s not perfect but it works well and the fact that it’s distributed means that flaws or cheating don’t scale the way a digital system would.

Right, but that relies on people in Texas trusting people in California - an inherently unstable system. Allowing the entire thing to be validated from the center is a massive improvement.

It is good that you are concerned, but EU is not lacking small companies. Where I live Uber is not the biggest ride sharing app for example, an European based competitor that started after Uber is bigger. They started after GDPR, so from my perspective it isn't EU that needs to fix its small businesses, it already works. It is USA that needs to prevent businesses from growing huge and dominating their entire market and effectively making it impossible for new entrants to appear.

Anyway, we can't refute all your points. It is really easy to just ask more and more questions, but at the end the results is what matters. And the real world results says that Europe is very good for small new businesses.
I had asked Rachel Nabors about that a few weeks ago, and she said she had a post drafted and would put it up post-beta launch.
> Just say yes to the next offer you get

While they should be saying yes to opportunities to connect with people, I'm not sure if this particular advice is great. If I was in a similar situation to the author of the post, I would find this particular advice demoralizing. It assumes the author of the post has what they are stressing they do NOT have - friends and offers of things to do. If you are not connecting with people you will not magically have offers from people.

It's about forcing yourself to get out there in controlled settings - clubs, volunteer, meetups, classes, and other places people are actively seeking connection.
another good example of this is Google's influence in regards to web standards.

If a childless person buys a coffee from a teenage barista they're freeloading how? They're not taking a service, they're paying for it with money.

Childless people already subsidize parents by paying taxes to public education and other children's services that they will never make use of. By your logic, parents should stop freeloading off the taxes of childless people and shoulder the entire burden of these services.
How is an actor supposed to know the difference between a blank and a dummy round on a specially modified prop gun? That's what the licensed armorer is for. Asking actors to have any responsibility to suss that stuff out seems like a recipe for disaster.

Anyone who picks up a gun is 100% responsible for what happens with it. There are 0 acceptable excuses for pointing a gun directly at another human, blanks or not, loaded or not, and pulling the trigger. He broke a cardinal rule of firearms. And in movies, you aim over the shoulder or otherwise slightly away from the "target." Never directly at. The camera angle makes it look like they're directly aiming at them, but they aren't. There are several rules if not laws broken here. Negligence at a minimum. And Alec is quite vocal about firearm violence. Unless he doesn't know what he's talking about, it would be hard to say he didn't know of the possibility. Ignorance is no excuse. If you want to see an actor who actually knows firearm safety and how to handle firearms, go watch Keanu Reeves train for John Wick.

For your first gripe, I think it wouldn't add anything over crawling a website. If you only want to archive the content, with semantic HTML you can easily know where the article is. It seems like a solved problem when browser reader modes can extract the data so well.

For your second gripe, perhaps a separate "excerpts" feed would do it. I know some podcasters publish the same content over multiple feeds for this kind of customization.
The pandemic has made it blindingly obvious that this has been true for at least ten years. The same corporate innovation that led to offshoring set the stage for making remote work feasible.
