While everyone has a bubble, a subset of the right wing in the US [1] is *far* more motivated than any other group to actually spend their time and effort trying to manipulate these measures. As you said, right wing content generally sees little to no "dislike" activity because people have better things to do in their lives (yet we know that the majority of people are not aligned with the content). Yet anything that threatens or counters the right tends to see overwhelmingly negative attention as it is brigaded by that minority.

You can see this outright reflected throughout these comments. People claiming that YouTube is protecting the White House (people actually go to White House videos? Not unless they have literally nothing else in their lives and their sole intention is to click a little arrow down) or their "favored party" are delusional, given that these people are the bread and butter of social media because they have such empty lives it defines their purpose.

The guy at the root of this thread is, it seems from his comments, is anti-vax adjacent. The overwhelming majority of people disagree with anti-vax content, yet you see these people having a grossly outsized effect on ratings (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13984924/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rt...), likes, dislikes, etc.

[1] - In Canada as well. If you went by Facebook comments on political news posts in Canada, the country is overwhelmingly far right. In reality these people are a small minority. Online engagement has little correlation with real representation.
It sounds like you're very much predisposed to believing that all press releases are 100% truthful -- and you would never consider that they might be intentionally misleading.
Have a look at some of the bugs related to struct tags (420 open ones) - they can control marshalling and have lots of little directives in them like omitempty,attr,-,set plus they combine too (for xml,json,asn1 etc) and you can stuff your own little language in too if you want, the possibilities are endless! They are a set of limited yet unvalidated translation DSLs stuffed into a string.

https://github.com/golang/go/search?p=4&q=struct+tags&type=i...

Personally I think the language would be better without them, but it's too late now.

Re build directives - the complaint is they are comments which do things and change code/compilation, the syntax I don't care about, but I do care that they've abused comments to do this.

I agree, these problems are pretty trivial, I don't lose sleep over them.
This is exactly my experience. Being forced to handle so many more errors showed me how much error handling I was inadvertently eliding in other languages!

> They won.

They won, in america... for now. They have (a) a global business with other nations less inclined to side with them and (b) a likely chance of legislature targeted at them. The odds of a future decline in margins of the app store seem high. New laws in Korea and Japan are going to slowly erode the edges, and allow businesses to tests alternatives. The Epic trial may now allow link-out to payments with latest court docs. And EU is a big market that could easily turn against them with new laws.

> Through new devices

The best new devices can do now is replace existing ones people own, most people who want and can afford apple devices own them. New product catagories are a few years away.

> And most importantly through Services

Like the service they just launched, targeted at enterprise?

> You should look at Apples balance sheet. Far more diversified than most people realise.

I do financial analysis, and attend their earnings calls. You're right, it is very diverse, but the non-services revenues don't seem poised to see strong growth in next few years unless they launch a new (and successful) product category.

The pandemic has made most people a bit more aware, at least. The distractions people enjoyed were suddenly taken away, for at least over a year. That has heightened awareness, along with the need for self care.

Even the idea of anxiety was extremely stigmatized, especially in the workplace, and still is but is now less so. What you're seeing is a growth of people talking about it as the stigma lessens.

In my products one way I've tried to fix the UI jumping around when a separate network call responds is to add a facebook-style "shimmer" view while it loads. But that doesn't work when the box might be hidden based on the network response.
Only reason I don't use Dendron more is because I'm not a fan of VS Code. Just not for me I guess.

Something I've been exploring is using Dendron on my desktop at work (with dual monitors) and Obsidian on my Chromebook. I convert the notes from both into a TiddlyWiki site and view/query them at the same time.

Apologies for interrupting the casual dismissals.
Take homes are probably the best way to test actual coding abilities. I had a pretty good online coding test done by Microsoft actually, it was 2 hours of building an API; no trick questions, no big-o, just write a bunch of code. It wasn't easy but it felt as if they're actually testing what I do for a living. I passed it and it didn't go to the follow up - which would have probably been a shitty whiteboard interview but I'm not sure.
Now that I think about it maybe I should have gone to that interview ...
Radiation oncologist here, the radiation dose delivered (32Gy whole brain in 1.6Gy BID) with boost to tumors is highly unusual and outdated. It causes short term memory loss at a higher rate than stereotactic radiosurgery - which is the preferred standard of care for unresectable BM if the disease is limited.

Stereotactic radiosurgery regularly achieves control rates >70% without any radiosensitizers.

That said, solid work, and bravo if L-Arginine works. Next most obvious work would be to test in stereotactic radiosurgery.
Yes, you give someone the bare minimum they need to survive. Then they want more. Now you're back to the situation where you have a surplus and they're willing to trade, the efficient thing is to trade your surplus. Continue repeating until one of you dies of old age, and the remaining survivor has all the bread.

So long as you have surplus, and that surplus has value, it makes sense to trade it, rather than have it sit idle.
That's because they have no choice if they want to launch before Starlink has dominated the market. New Glenn is sooooo far behind schedule.

I don't see how they can overcome the population bomb that is coming for them in 10-20 years. The US is able to make up for its deficiencies via immigration(well kinda sorta and for now at least). That is not happening in China, no way.
> a competitor for Google Workspace.

I think this is their obvious next move. They just launched iCloud email with custom domains for end users. That seems like an early battle-test for enterprise use cases.

They already have alternative software to google docs too, so it could be an easy business to set up.

I would go with hybrid, probably not even plugin one. Was cheap when I got my current car, which with my current use should last decade. I really doubt we will actually hit the goals politicians are currently setting.
>But we have a way of defining who is poor and who isn't in terms of income

Yes, the definitions. Is it a definition or a lived experience? Politicians love to define away poverty.

These definitions are how millionaires were able to claim they are poor to get assistance during COVID.

Life is a struggle. But why? Why is it a struggle in this country, the "richest" country? Why do I have to be homeless, living in a minivan, fighting a mental illness? That is by design. This squid game we are living in is a design, it has rules, and we can change them in a second. But most people just want to be the next million/billionaire so they are afraid that changing the rules will mean they do not get the piggy bank of money they dangle over your head.

As a society we are poor. Compared to people in countries like France and Finland, we are poor, because we are always faced with these life and death decisions about jobs and healthcare. That is what it feel like to be poor; always guarding yourself, always frightened.
I want my program to crash obviously during development so that I know of the existence of bugs, which can be ironed out before getting to production.
It's equally important to understand that the biggest names in the system are mostly fraudsters.

It's a natural consequence of a system whose primary purpose is to replace government with "law of the jungle". That's only useful to people who want to live outside the law, because they are either persecuted or predators.

The law exists because it works for most people. If you disagree with that, and believe it's imposed by some cartel by force, the you need an answer for why your alternative system won't also be dominated by people who would assert their power by force.
It's naive to split economy and politics... Just like it's naive to split culture and engineering in a company.
But under your logic a shitty comment is a danger to public health just like a dislike.

It doesn't matter who pays for it. That is a debate between Uber at its drivers. All that matters it the requirements for the service that is provided to the public.

If Uber can't afford to pay for it and/or they lose drivers because drivers refuse to pay for it, those are Uber's problems and not the law's.
"An emissions rate of about 58 tons of methane per hour would have been required to generate the plume, according to an estimate from Kayrros SAS, which analyzed European Space Agency data."

I assume you mean OP?

> The entire world (including the US federal government) has taken a short position on the US dollar

I read this as a prediction of some type of crisis.

Anyway, wrt the US Federal Government, having government debt is not that same as having a short position. For one, the US Fed govt's revenue (i.e. tax collection) is denominated in the same USD as the debt. So if USD goes up, tax collection go up.
Honestly I think we just started paying more attention to the subject. Anxiety is a completely natural survival mechanism: “was that a tiger in those bushes!?”. It keeps us alive.
Readability absolutely suffers when almost everything you see on your screen is boilerplate.
That job would seriously scare me. Slip on an icy catwalk, and freeze to death with a broken leg. Screw up with the light, and a troopship with thousands of soldiers on board runs aground in a storm. Do everything perfectly, and a U-Boat could still land some Nazi commandos on the tiny island...with "do whatever is necessary to secure the lightkeeper's cooperation" orders.
Another flip side effect. My dad is a CFO at a car dealership and tells me that the banks are having problems due to the lack of cars as well. A dealership will normally float all their inventory on a big bank note but they basically have no cars on the lot to sell which means the banks underwriting those notes are making no money on interest. Multiply it by thousands of dealerships nationwide and this has big impacts on revenue to those banks.

I'm predicting a 5-out-of-5 review, again, and a < 1% raise, again, while my employer posts record profits quarter after quarter, and the executives get 50% raises every year.

things are gonna collapse soon, so I'm going to chill here until that blows over, while being thankful to have a job, and then I'll probably move on to a company that looks better on paper but proves to be somehow even worse with raises in reality.

I regret having kids, because they are going to have a very difficult time.
What algorithms courses are we even talking about? I dropped out after sophomore year but I still took data structures and algorithms, and a lot of the stuff I see people mention getting quizzed on at Google (I saw convex hulls in another thread on here) is 400-level, elective courses in these topics. The last object we studied in DS&A was graphs and graph algorithms, which I can handle just fine.
My wife was in a similar position. 2013 Mazda 3 base trim. She was going to sell it early 2020 because we didn't need the second car and KBB said ~$4k.

We decided to actually get rid of it last weekend and KBB said $6500-$7500 for trade-in. There were some cosmetic issues with it so figured we'd be on the low end. Not wanting to deal with posting it to craigslist and coordinate visits, we asked if the dealership would purchase it. They offered us $6k so reasonably close.
A lot of comments seem to think that this is a malicious decision made by the upper management of google for a variety of sinister reasons. I might be naive but i wonder if this isn't just a poorly thought out decision by somebody, the only motivation being that no dislikes will encourage more creators and thus increase advertising revenue. The poorly thought out part of this is that they are treating their users like plastic bags, but i think users are allowing themselves to be treated like that anyway.
Moving to the .zipx extension was definitely the right (and only) move. This is due to the fact that Microsoft's compressed folder code hasn't been updated in years and thus it isn't safe to send out any Zip files that uses any new features [1].

> It doesn't make much sense if they're looking for someone who can do the actual job, in my opinion.

FAANG (& similar) have more applicants who can do the job than they have positions, so instead of checking for that and calling it a day, they filter for some combination of IQ and how bad you want it—willing to do a ton of otherwise-low-value prep work & practice, and to go through the painful interview process itself, likely several times at different companies, even for successful candidates.

The reputation of their interviews also means they likely don't get a ton of candidates who can't do the job. So they could likely just start randomly selecting from their candidate pool and do damn near as well as they do with all the interview effort—except as soon as that become known, they wouldn't be able to do that anymore. Plus they'd lose the hazing factor, which likely helps build company in-group identity. Having a lot of your employees feel like they only have their job because the finally got "lucky" in an interview may also help with retention, especially when everyone else who pays as much interviews in similar ways.

In a sense, being a huge, unpleasant waste of time is the whole point of their interview processes.

It isn't just important for us to know if the majority of viewers think a fortnite walkthrough is shitty. We also need to know when a politician is lying to us.

An archive is essentially a user-mode file system. User-mode things are often more efficient in many ways, as they don't need to call into the kernel as often.
This brings up an interesting point which is why I recently bought a used car. The late 90s, 00s are probably the last road-legal vehicles that won’t spy on you. I wouldn’t put it past lawmakers to make phoning home mandatory like they did with backup cameras. I’m guessing this will also cause prices to skyrocket since there is a sizable minority of people like us who will refuse to buy a car that’s plugged into the Internet.
> I think this can’t really be the reason for your going back to school.

What precisely makes you're more expert at the OP's experience then the OP?
Reminds me, a few years ago I went to a moderately fancy restaurant that prided itself on having an extra festive and informal atmosphere (but also really good food). The servers basically join you at the table as if they're you're mates and have small talk with you while you're ordering, our waitress actually downed shots of vodka with us at some point.

It was obviously part of the job and nothing personal, although we were nice and not assholes in any way. Some people find it super cool, I just found it the most fake bullshit ever, and really hope they weren't actually forcing their staff to drink with customers but rather encouraging or just allowing it.

so what indicator can we use to check whether a video is scam/pointless/have wrong information?

The only one benifiting from this is Youtube itself since we'll have to watch entire videos wasting hours on useless content and they make more money.

"dislike attacks" what an implausible argument.
I found this absolutely hilarious and I’m not entirely sure why, just the tone of the instructions as if it’s an ordinary thing to make in an afternoon. Brilliant.
It's the internet.

*As long as there is a ban on discussing people , once you start discussing (and most importantly) advertising people on the internet , it's over.

Endless comparison ensues and anxiety skyrockets for everybody.

Humans were never made to be aware of being 1 unit in an 8B sample. The person sitting for an interview has high anxiety because they know they can be replaced easily

This should be the premise to literally take every single oil executive to task.

I have a close family friend who is effectively an oil tycoon for shell oil. one of the worst companies on the planet.

They shared over dinner at a really nice restauarant in Silicon Valley, pics of them hunting 'big game' in africa and the typical pics of 'here is the kill i had while on 'safari' in africa'

yeah if you work in big oil, go fuck yourself.
This is a great point about CS grads. Maybe in the past, you could just take a degree at face value: "oh you graduated from Stanford with an A average, you must know how to code, here's a job". But nobody trusts any university to produce capable developers, so you have to test everyone with crazy interviews. So then what's the point of going to a top CS school and why can they keep charging so much tuition?
Things could be better (less concern about items lower on Maslow's hierarchy allows one to worry about self-actualization and other items at the top), and it could also be worse (concern about the basic lower needs leads to anxiety). For engineers who are missing out on the boom times caused by the bubble, it might be a mix of both.
Started with "mon fromage":

my white cheese 0%
Place the diced ham and chopped onion in a bowl.
Add the sour cream, fromage blanc and parsley

I'm pretty impressed, it doesn't sound bad at all.

Re-feeding, with some parsing:

mon fromage blanc:
Put the diced ham and chopped onion in a bowl.
Add the [sour] cream, cottage cheese and chopped parsley.
Salt and pepper. Mix well.
Divide the preparation among 4 verrines, alternating with pieces of cherry tomatoes and grated Emmenthal. Decorate with sunflower seeds and dried tomato petals.

I kinda want an English version, is there one available?
That's literally the opposite of how Bezos has described the role of BO. He's said that BO is his most important work, more important than Amazon. The only reason he's dealing with the incumbents is because he's hired from them, and inherited their mgmt structure/methodology.

And how many of these "working rocket engines" has he shipped? Bueller?
Thanks, that was very intersting!

Seriously, the level of conspiracy-theory replies to this post is shocking. Like, this is below-reddit-level discourse. This is borderline Q stuff. And I know HN has moderation because I've been told off for flamewars. What gives?
Since the majority of my personal documents are digital, I simply put them in folders that make sense. I encrypt with VeraCrypt.

There are some paper documents that I do not bother to digitize. I keep these in a small filing cabinet in actual physical folders.

The trick is simply memorizing which documents go into which folders.

This is a good example of how we get bad laws... Should overweight cyclists be forced to have a lower speed? I can still get my ebike to 25 mph down hill, I would never dream of passing a pedestrian at that speed. I picked 24.5 for a reason and not 25 BTW.
Yes. Because rising prices means that it's easier for their competitors to eventually overtake them. Having a backlog makes that even worse.
In general I'm not anxious person at all, quite the opposite. I found it very surprising myself. I actually prefer algorithm interviews, and I had never really been anxious for an interview before. This was also remote - I suspect that it would have been easier in person (I know for a lot of people it would be the opposite though).
