> it will make the US more powerful economically and make its tech companies more dominant. Which is exactly what it will do.

Why wouldn't other nations react accordingly? What power does the US have to stop this?

1) Other nations increasingly have a large supply of high-skill talent.

2) Other nations will use capital and subsidies to launch their own tech firms employing their own workers. There are startup accelerators spinning up all over Europe and Asia to capture, retain, and reward domestic talent. They see how the game is played now.

3) Other nations will create more regulations that limit how much US tech companies can participate in their economy and monopolize their citizens as consumers. This is already happening with major international antitrust rulings hitting Google, Apple, and Facebook. This is the nail in the coffin. They will foster and protect their own industry at the expense of the US.

There are many more international tech companies participating at the global stage these days. Atlasssian, JetBrains, Spotify, SoftBank, TSM, ASML, miHoYo... Not to mention all of the Chinese tech companies popping up. Epic Games is 50% owned by Tencent.

This trend will continue. The US only has 300M people, and it's not growing with the same significant postwar tailwinds it once had. It can't keep the wealth and talent monopoly forever. Just look at how much the middle and lower classes are hurting as a symptom of this global rebalancing.

You can also look to other industries. Automotive, aerospace, etc. The US isn't peerless anymore.

Not saying this is good or bad, but it's definitely happening.
You understand correctly! It's a crypto startup but I don't really want to have my account be to obviously mine. It isn't amazing bay area rates, but it's six figures.
A search for Planet 9 in the IRAS data
The first animated films to do this were the animated LOTR film and Fire and Ice shortly thereafter, both by the same director.

Logically, very similar during production to how Avatar was made, but doing the rendering "by hand" (and being unable to change the camera after capture).

Pretty impressive results given the budget and time requirements.
Yes, tho for the metal they really needed the test, IDK about the bureaucracy "check these 15K users".

On that indefinite user list, but without knowing for sure the purpose of the checks, I'd strongly avoid putting my name on that document. Are we just checking that the approximate totals seem to match the org size, or are we after specific checks for hostile fake or obsolete accounts? I sure don't want my sig on the document stating that I made checks X, Y, & Z for fake/obsolete accts when I hadn't, and we get hacked next week.

I.e., if it is 'just bureaucracy' and they don't actually care about the result, then likely someone is trying to get your neck in the noose when the sht hits the proverbial fan.
machine learning is always the answer :-)
I still think that anything even marginally tangible, including virtual assets such as skins or dance animations, are way more reasonable than NFTs.
Maybe we should finally realize that the people reporting "long-covid" symptoms without a conclusive test might just be suffering from the multitude of health issues that come with the changes we've seen in society the past couple of years.

Since "long-covid" isn't an issue endemic to the people of France and has been reported about globally, let me post my individual opinion on what might be causing these "fake" cases of "long-covid" with what I guess will be deemed as hyperbole here - I leave it open to discussion.

The lockdowns haven't helped anybody other than the severely vulnerable population both with or without pre-existing conditions, as well as put a temporary band-aid on the failing/already failed medical systems of the countries that implemented them. You've got MAJOR factors causing uncalculated amounts of mental strain on everybody, like:

- Increases in (un)diagnosed mental health illnesses from any variety of reasons - domestic violence, emotional abuse, new drug addictions (prescription or otherwise), decreased/non-existant IN-PERSON social interactions with your friends and family definitely don't help. Humans need face-to-face in-person contact.

- Constant bombardment by the media about how we're horrible people if we meet with our families and friends, Articles about how inflation is starting to catch up to us, "But that's okay, and here's why!" (I am completely convinced that government, corporations, and media outlets are colluding behind the scenes to control the national narrative of the pandemic and the economy, though I'm more talking about my home country USA)

- Failures of the healthcare systems in NUMEROUS countries (in Canada, I know 2 people who have been on the wait-list for joint replacement for TWO YEARS with no estimated date, meanwhile they're taking HEAVY doses of painkillers, destroying their liver/kidneys in order to just function normally. All they're told is "there's nothing we can do but wait".

- (again, in the USA) The constant run-around by public officials about how "this is what's going to get us out of this. BE HONEST straight from the start. Say "this virus has the potential to infect everyone in X country, we don't know anything about it (at the time), please try not to panic" - but instead we got platitudes and slogans like "two weeks to flatten the curve!" "Don't wear masks!" "wait, actually wear masks!"

I'm not surprised that there's lots of people getting sick with something either viral, or mental, and then say they've got long-covid afterwards due to everything we're being subjected to today. 'We're all in this together' lmao. We should be absolutely livid about our medical systems worldwide and ask our world governments why they haven't been preparing for these types of events. The answer is usually "cost savings" unfortunately.
Not a fan of that name. Makes it difficult to find information about it.

Can you use all the regular vs code extensions with "Code" that you can use with "VS Code"?

For the record, I'm also annoyed at the naming of Visual Studio Code. Not to be confused with Visual Studio which is a completely different IDE.
The education system utterly fails when it comes to educating students in financial literacy.

They’d much rather teach them activism than actually give them useful tools for evaluating their finances and making good decisions.
Cheeky. Charging for a send tweet delay, so you have time to "undo" it.
A strange thing. What's the point of that?
Ask HN: Best resource to teach non-techies how folder hierarchies work
I'm sure we all know friends and family who we've been explaining this to since the 1990s but still don't quite get it...

"Where did my photo/document/download go?"

"How can I save this screenshot and later share it on email/facebook?"

"Where did the scanner put my scan?"

...etc, all of these questions fundamentally stemming from patchy knowledge of directory structures - which I guess are just very, very unintuitive to some - and how to access various bits of them (my documents, desktop, downloads) from various places (file explorer, file dialog) - all while numerous apps try to abstract them away (but still fail).

There must be a good resource for teaching this better. What have you got?
How Data Is Reshaping Real Estate
I was lucky enough to be part of the first cohort admitted to the OMSCS program, and completed it while working full time. It was a fantastic experience that I'm very thankful for, but it was one of the most challenging things I've ever done.
> You.com has publicly committed to never sell user data through targeted ads.

I wish this weren't the line people use. Most of the companies we complain about privacywise don't sell user data either. How about "don't monetize user data?"
I mean... As long as it's not a systematic thing nobody will ever care.
in this case? You work at Salesforce. An absolutely astounding amount of access to funding is and always has been personal connections.
thank you for this. I looked at this a while ago and forgot about it, I think I'll have a look again.
Pyjion 1.0 was released yesterday, so that checks out? :)
But you don't get to use it. You could drop off in the first semester by that logic and it would have saved most of her money.
>My anecdotal data is that I went really far in the process with a FAANG, got a verbal offer, and it was rescinded (never got the official offer). I always suspected it was due to lack of a degree.

If your lack of degree was a dealbreaker, they wouldn't go with the interview process to completion. It makes zero sense to waste time and resources on a candidate that you already determined you aren't going to hire. My team had to interview 50+ people just to fill a couple of positions, and every interview is taking away from precious time that could have been spent working on the product. Wasting our time interviewing someone we won't hire due to a lack of degree makes no sense.

Not only it would be wasting our own time, we would also be wasting the candidate's time, and all of it for exactly zero gain. There is no grand conspiracy where FAANG companies interview candidates with no degrees all the way till the end, and then drop them due to the lack of degree, it is just illogical all around.

Basically, if you got an interview, and especially if you got to the onsite rounds, nothing that is on your resume can disqualify you at this point.
On Chrome desktop I just see a blocker message: "To see results and get the convenience of you.com, you’ll need to add the you.com Chrome extension"
It's all about that magical word that's 7 letters long...

Safety.

People want to be safe, and the governments obliging them. You can't be in danger if you don't leave your house right?

Edit: I can't count apparently - I'm blaming it on long-covid!
It's not a different "from" and "reply to". Read the article. They're putting an email address in the HUMAN NAME part of the "From".
Why on earth are they doing this and how could anyone think it would do any good at all? And how could it possibly be legal?
Microsoft Patch Tuesday, November 2021 Edition
A blockchain does not provide a "history of trades", the blockchain oracle does, there is no need to add a blockchain into the mix since you already have to trust the centralized oracle (in this case, Apple).
Thank you for writing this article.

I’m curious: The engineers that brought these significant cost savings to your company, did they receive a share of the money saved?
what a poor name for a search engine.

A: "Hey how often does the earth go around the sun?"

B: "I dunno... you it."
> Participants who reported having an initial COVID-19 infection only after completing the serology test were excluded.

Does this mean that they excluded those who changed their opinion based on the test results? Or those that believed they had a novel infection after they had been tested?
Finally. When my wife went there they only had biology and ag tracks online.
For a while I did maintain a storage cluster that had close to 0.5 PB of data, and had a capacity of up to 3 PB (if you filled all the slots with the largest disks you can buy). You want to ensure you have a lot of redundancy and spare capacity if you are managing it yourself. Luckily, the hardware is relatively cheap. It's the manpower that costs a lot. Still, I think it was only 0.1 FTE to manage this storage cluster, including the network, file systems, user access, swapping out bad harddisks and storage pods (but granted, it's I/O load was very light). Also, while AWS takes away the burden of handling the physical drives and the filesystem for you, now you have to handle interfacing with AWS. That means you need an engineer that knows how to integrate your application with AWS. If you can leverage more AWS services, maybe even avoid needing your own server rooms because everything is running there, it might pay off. European vs. American salaries might also change the equation. But if you just use it for storage, I don't think it's worth it at any scale.
Data integrity is nice to have.
Secrets of The Great Families
Came here to say something very similar.

There is a very good podcast in Germany that involves two of the country's leading virologists [1]. In a recent episode they reviewed the current literature on long Covid.

One of the key take-aways was that it's likely not a single disease but a combination of several distinct components. E.g. there is a component that's related to lung damage, one related to fatigue and exhaustion, there's a neurological component related to loss of taste etc. - it's very much work in progress what these components are and how to best treat them.

It's the degree that matters as much as (or more than) the institution. If you get a degree in a field that has low barriers of entry, few employers (or only a monopoly employer such as the state), and no opportunity to freelance, then you will not get high wages.
Sorry, but "names aren't unique" does not even begin to define uniqueness - "from ... import X" imports and X; great; should it replace an "X" in a different encoding in the local namespace, or not?

I can tell you it has to do with iterators, and maybe someone will comment on what that is.
Stores tend to frown upon taking bites of produce. But it's not a bad approach to take a nibble of things like herbs.

With enough practice and maybe some reading, you can learn to evaluate a fruit or vegetable pretty well by touch, sight, and smell.

Ripeness is the biggest thing I look at. Generally the more ripe the fruit or veg, the softer, and more fragrant, and deeper the color it will be. So I try to buy firm, light, less smelly produce, but eat it when it is just begun to soften and give off an aroma.

I also look for bruises, cuts, blemishes, or other signs of damage during shipping.

For things like melons, I recommend reading up on how to evaluate them. Watermelons and musk melons in particular have a staggering flavor difference that can see, felt, and smelled, but they don't follow the same "rules" as other produce.
Things like body weight matter a lot more than tiny things. A girl can go from being rejected by the same guy to having him follow her every whim just by stoping being fat (real story a friend told me about her first crush).
Dotnet is ultra simple and a big advantage of F#. You do need to learn what a solution is: it's a group of projects with dependencies between the projects. Download an IDE, create a new project (which will also create a solution), and go to Nuget in the IDE if you need to install packages. You don't need to know what an assembly is.

Some devs like to do things the hard way with a very manual approach, including working with command lines and using paket, and that does give some confusions in the docs since there isn't a clear default path.
Has anybody studied or quantified the evolution of "effective liberty" over time in the US? Say you buy groceries once per week. That activity might have triggered 1 governmental control touchpoint in 1800 (sales tax?), but in 2020 it might have triggered many more due to increased automation, logging and third-party delegation. All of this, of course, without fundamental changes to the Law of the Land -- simply because some of the assumptions built into our core restrictions on governmental power no longer hold.
Our grand parents also didn't have everything made of flimsy plastic and highly integrated electronics. Their washer likely consisted of a gearbox and motor with a switch or two.

My previous washer was about 30 years old when the tub finally rusted out at the support. It would have been 25 years had I not pathched it twice with water resistant epoxy when it first sprang a leak. It had a simple mechanical timer knob that handled the sequencing and timing of cycles. Couple of other knobs set the water temp, spin/wash speed, and optional rinse. It was dumb as a brick and cleaned my clothes.

Now my $1200 LG washer has WiFi (I NEVER connected it on purpose), beats the shit out of everything you put inside, and heavily soiled items come out stained and half clean. I emailed LG asking if they offered you access to their dumb cloud API and the answer is No unless your are a partner company. I hope this thing does not break down in the next 10 years but I doubt that.
You're not supposed to ask those types of questions - you're not a scientist. Leave the health mandates and questions to the scientists that we trust to lead us through the pandemic.
> I'm curious what ... you ... mean by "build trust into the technology by the outset"?

I'm not sure I could come up with a checklist that would take all the considerations in mind, so it's an ill defined question in some sense. For folks who market their product as "secure" and "privacy conscious", I would hope they would have thought about these questions and come up with a solution. At the very least, I would hope they would be able to list out their assumptions and limitations of whatever solution they came up with.

To try and actually answer the question, though, I would think something along the lines of queries that are Tor enabled or have an option to allow for Tor connections (without the need for Javascript). Maybe something that uses distributed data/queries for decentralization and resiliency against snooping or attacks on a central location?

It looks like You.com uses a chrome extension, so they should have more control over what form the queries take. Connection to the Tor network is presumably not out of the question.

I agree that knowing what code is running where is a hard problem in general but besides being able to audit code that's open source, the other leg of that is to be able to stand up your own instance. There could be a way to provide incentives for people to return "good" results by random verification and/or user (transparent/frictionless/micro) payments.

There are fancier systems like homomorphic encryption but I'm not sure those are really ready for everyday use yet.

The amount of data is massive and any search service is going to be competing with a corporation that has 20+ years of domain knowledge and a compute infrastructure that is many orders of magnitude larger than anything that's really available, so I'm not sure there are any easy answers, which is why I'm asking.

Maybe You.com is focusing on a more AI centric search service, which is how they're trying to compete or differentiate themselves? If so, then making that data available (under a libre/free license) along with the code would go a long way towards building good will and cold lead to a path for a "trustless" community built search engine.
It shouldn't be an immediate problem if it's really 2FA: if the second factor fails, there's still the first factor. The problem is that many systems use phone as single factor.
What does any of that have to do with visas?
Per my post, "This is not that world. "
That's not exactly how health insurance works. The insurer can always say something the doctor did is not covered, or something the doctor says you need is not covered. Or that, while a procedure is covered under the policy, you aren't sick enough for the insurer to consider it medically necessary, even if the doctor thinks it is.
The true spending for the national security budget is $1.25 trillion and not $725 billion. Whether you are for an increase or decrease of the budget it should be based on the actual true amount like how other countries measure it.

For example nuclear weapons are under the Department of Energy's budget.

My results if I Google "budget phones"

* Toms: Under $400

* Verge Under $500

* TechRadar: Under $500 with the lowest category Under $200

* CNET: Under $500

* AndroidAuthority: Under $500

* Wired: Under $500

Like you can personally decide that a budget phone should be under $200 or something but real life people looking to buy "cheap" phones are looking to pay ~<$500 for it.
No need to reveal the exact company name, your clarification was more than enough to address my curiosity in regards to the situation. I really appreciate you giving just enough info, without compromising your own privacy, especially since it sounds like it is a small startup.
If I have to pay the same amount of money and I can choose to deal with people or deal with a decent sized company (and leave them to deal with their people), I always choose the later.
Having lightweight userland threads fundamentally changes the way that you write concurrent programs. There is no need to worry about creating too many threads or of thread creation being too heavy. Old school patterns like process/thread/goroutine per connection are very natural to write in Go and result in dead simple code that performs well under load.

Reasoning about threads & basic blocking calls is a simpler mental model compared to async/await style concurrency in my opinion.

Go is fundamentally designed for developing backend applications, not high perf mathematical/scientific computing. Features like unrolling for-loops across hundreds of cores or offloading to GPU's would be out of place in the language.
Last time there was widespread abuse of post-install scripts, NPM created `npm fund`. It's sort of like an abandoned street corner that overly idealistic OSS maintainers are ushered off to when they try to make money off their work.

Maybe if this also picks up steam, we will get `npm brick` as the solution from the NPM team.
Terraform (as you may well have already found out) is a blessing and a curse. It's great for instantiating infrastructure quickly and repeatedly, but what it's not great for is managing it going forward and streaming changes (it seems to break A LOT when there is drift from managed infrastructure vs. real life infrastructure).

Do you guys plan to handle managing instances created via terraform code via Gallery, or is it strictly a tool to instantiate environments and add triggers around it?

Like I'm thinking of cases where you might want to edit your existing env created by Gallery with other stuff that other teams may have worked on and merged onto prod. If I edit the config, there could be a lot breaking changes
Workhorse Group records a big loss on electric vans
If it really is a bottomless well everywhere, I must be doing something wrong...I just graduated from a well-regarded university in Germany with a degree in computer science and to be honest, it's not all that easy to get a job.

For example, in London, as someone with no experience, you'll probably have to go with a graduate scheme--mostly at tech companies and banks. But when you apply, you'll be barraged first by cognitive aptitude tests, followed by situational judgement tests, then a LeetCode/HackerRank test. Deutsche Bank additionally requires you to pre-record answers to interview questions that they pose in an e-mail. Perhaps afterwards you'll be invited to an on-site interview where you can repeat the process.

All of this machinery to filter out candidates doesn't scream out that they are that short on candidates.
So you think you have COVID. You're feeling mild symptoms that match the descriptions. Do you (a) take a 3CL protease inhibitor or (b) time travel 6 months into the past and take a mRNA vaccine?

(Hint: it's probably too late for the protease inhibitor.)
This is a common strategy in American politics. If you can get the public to associate something with China/Russia/communism/bad person then you have the American public on your side. So I wouldn't necessarily see it as just people with strong Chinese interests.
Got it! If you want to punch someone, just declare them a nazi, right?
I've been trying to figure out how to do this for months, as they use it for the Windows Sandbox but for whatever reason (licensing?) only allow you to launch one at a time. The HCS Go library doesn't have any documentation about the Krypton (micro-vm) style VMs.
