There are backbreaking jobs today, but are filled by immigrants who treat the lousy job as a career.

In the 70's a guy could get a backbreaking job, and still have opportunities of getting something better. A union construction job was usually a test away from a hire.

You could afford an apartment, by yourself, or 1 roommate, with the wage paid. (An apartment by yourself, and not cramming multiple families under one roof.)

In the 80's a guy getting out of prison actually had a few jobs that were waiting. Buying a truck, and starting an unlicensed landscaping business was always there. House painting was always there. Tree Trimming business was always there.

Today there's just too much competition, and bonds, licenses, and customers who know the rules. And customers who know they can hire on the very cheap if they have too.

And you could live in a one room apartment, and pay your bills. Hell, you could even go out on the weekends and feel potent. You could look at the pansy wealthy boys and smirk.

As for teens, and twenty somethings, who didn't want to break their backs; there were always cashier jobs, sales, stocking, security, etc.

Now--those jobs are treated as careers by desperate immigrants.

Immigrants who have different cultures than American. I said nothing about race. I'm talking culture. There's many of you looking to pounce--I know.

The story was written well. I was looking for a rich guy's name as the Writer. Wealthy boys like to write about the time dad made them get a lousy job. Oh, they never mention dad. It was always their decision to get that hard job. Later in life they can claim they know what it's like to work hard. And at best it was only a few months of getting their hands dirty. In their Horacio Algier's fictional mind they actually belive they are the hard working Americans, but they use money as their tool. They always leave out all the perks of growing up wealthy, and sympathetic dad that helps out at the right times right up into their 40's.

The difference is the poor work hard everyday. They wake up with their muscles hurting. It's cool until you hit 45, or maybe 50. After that homelessness becomes a viable option.

America should be ashamed of itself.

You got more profit by making product overseas. You somehow convinced workers unions don't work.

You allowed in too many poor cultures to fill those lousy jobs American teens/twenties used to count on.

I don't feel like a debate. I've been wanting to say this for awhile.
These days with go mod and the go team maintaining their proxy there is very little benefit to vendoring and any benefit is not worth blowingup up the size of your repos and messing up code reviews on PRs that introduce new dependencies.
Now really sure that it'll help you, but in Kazakhstan digital signatures can be legally significant (have equal significance as hand-written signatures) in case if several requirements are met.

One of the requirements is that certificate has to be issued by accredited CA. And there is one such CA - National CA (https://pki.gov.kz/), it issues such certificates for free.

Also there is a service that allows anyone to sign any file using a certificate issued by National CA - https://sigex.kz, thus making it legally significant. It's free for use (except for heavy RPS enterprise users and the ones, how need support).

So in Kazakhstan you can do e-docs signed by e-signs totally for free.

P.S.: Pardon, but the links are in Russian.
What's interesting about this stuff is that it seems to support interpretation through multiple cognitive frameworks. There could be a mystical/esoteric explanation for why those people became so attached to the characters or fictions. Or it could be that they were already vulnerable to schizophrenic or depersonalization/derealization-type disorders.

It's like how you'll sometimes hear/read people say that tantra/mediation stuff like Kundalini can be dangerous because it results in an energy imbalance that could potentially be irreparable and/or lead to lasting damage.
Not today it doesn't. ;-)
Because there is a natural monopoly in being a trusted provider of legal transaction services. Both for integrations and for the fact that no one wants to risk their job saving a few dollars on digital signatures. And no one wants to explain to a future acquirer / legal inquiry / judge / whatever that they are using some weird alternative. “We process the contracts with Docusign” is a safe thing to say. If that wasn’t good enough, a whole lot of other people would also be in trouble, so the collective hallucination that is our legal system will support it.
Not to be hyper-critical, but that video was a bit underwhelming. It might be helpful to find a more impressive example to highlight.
What's my original claim?
esignatures.io could be a nice solution. I’ve used them for client projects and they have a simple API, too. They have a $0.49 per contract pricing model.

You need to mock them because you are asserting that it is the correct thing to use. Verification testing has nothing to do with state, per se. Having a static instance a wrapper just to use another static is java forcing unnecessary state. Forcing a singleton to instance another singleton at runtime is idiotic, which is why spring proponents avoid it and java is still a syntactical dinosaur. When we see proper modules (including static refs), java will be better fir it.

PHP is better with how it deals with statics today, which bleeds into other areas like testing.
It's the same as ransomware or whatever else: if they admit their systems are insecure then people will realize that they have massive "security debt" that they can never repay.

This is neither new, nor easier. It can be interesting to think about and deriving the same results through different methods can help with understanding. But I really doubt that there will be any students who can understand and use this who at the same would struggle with the regular formula for the quadratic.
You ass: Obv I mean determining your current location and azimuth as relates to the starlink satellites you may want to shoot down.

Jeasus... are like 25?
Docusign and other services like it do more than send out forms to collect signatures. There often are other fields / data collected, alternative forms of documents presented depending on target party's profile, etc. If you take the sign/scan/send form, the receiving company still needs to do all the work to put that form in the right place and perhaps extract further data for further steps in some data pipeline. Docusign et al will presumably integrate straight into your document flow, much simpler in the long run with fewer people.

Just to put one alternative company into the fray, there's Docsmore (https://client.docsmore.com/features.html), a local startup (North Carolina) that offers document management / signing / document flow as a service. I'd imagine it would be hard to go up against a giant like Docusign unless there are compelling additional features.

The Docsmore founders seem to have more recently used the service as a jumping-off point for a separate insurance claims-processing automation company, Benekiva (https://www.benekiva.com/) (Iowa/North Carolina). That seems even more lucrative than straightforward document signing/data-collection.

EDIT: I have no relation to the company, I've met some of the founders before
If you wait long enough it downloads.

I’m on iOS, the trailer from the website does not load for me. Do you have the video on YouTube?
You probably meant distributed decentralized VCS.
Funny, I thought that was one of the more interesting parts of the paper.

>It sounds like their research was browsing wattpad and reddit for an afternoon.

They explicitly say these are locations of the community in the paper. I don't think this invalidates anything. When performing contemporary anthropology, it is pretty common to observe subjects in their normal environment.
The Tulpa stuff has been reinterpreted in materialist terms too (apparently 80% of people treat it this way, from some study or other).

Of course, interpreting these things in just one way is a category mistake.
Natural immunity isn't being suppressed. We learned from prior viruses that it is generally not a good idea to seek out infection.

You're hearing a lot about covid because it has a massive impact on society. I really don't think you'd say other preventative treatments are a bad thing because people profit from making them?
You mean the truck bed was never more than a styling accent? Say it ain't so! All the people that need it have long figured out they would rather use a van.
Or Rio de Janeiro vs Brasilia in Brazil. Sydney vs Canberra in Australia. Auckland vs Wellington in New Zealand. There are probably a few more...
This kind of thing is common in China. I'm not sure why this would seem very impressive, it isn't even on nearly on the same scale. It is all money laundering of course (or to say, transforming public money and credit into private money).
We have a security proxy at work that gives you the bits, but then holds the connection open while it does a scan, then resets the connection if it doesn't like something inside. Both Chrome and Firefox [haven't tried IE/Edge, but I assume that they'll do something that the proxy vendor would want] infer [or are told?] that the connection broke and delete the interim file. Unfortunately, with zip files, the header is at the end; so it can't do scanning until the whole file is down.

For me, the easiest way to mitigate it turned out to be to use wget [with an appropriate user-agent... say, the same as my desktop browser]. wget Gets the bits, but doesn't in any way molest the "partial" download when the connection resets. Then it tries to download the rest using the "Range" HTTP header, and the server says "oh, dude, you already got the whole thing"; wget declares success, and all the bits are in my download folder.

I believe that we pay, like, a lot for this proxy, which is annoying on two counts: 1) If I can get past it trivially, then presumably competent attackers can, too, and 2) Sometimes it takes a dislike to legitimate stuff, which is how I was forced to learn how to get around it.
Yeah z-spins give bonus points in some later variants of Tetris.
>and is not a cost worth optimizing.

Well, it's kind of like plumbing. Once established, you don't think about it much until something goes wrong. Maybe someone notices, "Hey, our annual maintenance is $x, but I think the normal rate is only $x-y."

But unless it's time for a lot of belt tightening, making that change is pure risk if the system mostly works, problems are fixed quickly, etc. Because maybe you change plumbers, and there's a catastrophic failure that would have happened anyway, but now via the magic of post-hoc fallacies it looks like the change is what caused the problem. (And maybe it did! who knows?)

So there are many things in any organization that only get optimized/updated (or even just simple maintenance) when they become a noticeable problem. The old adage about not fixing what isn't broken-- you need to really be able to show a likely failure in order to make a preemptive change.
First of all, why does the NYT refer to Austin as a "liberal oasis"? Austin isn't Lubbock, but it isn't Berkeley either. What does it even mean for a city to be "liberal"? There is a Democrat mayor, whoopee. You can open carry in downtown Austin and churches are full on Sunday morning. Interpret that how you will.

Otherwise the tl;dr: Austin is building, but it can't keep up with the influx. That said, there are still new homes within somewhat-reasonable driving distance of Austin that are being sold for $300k.

Super Mario 64 decomp has only publicly been available since late 2019. And even then, there's still holdouts as the toolset for ye olde ways has been around longer.
Surprisingly, the article seems to be written by a smart mathematician, not a crackpot or a social scientist. [1]

This kinda reminds me of that medical researcher who rediscovered trapezoid rule in 1994, and called it "Tai's Model". [2]

To be fair, this is slightly better as it is supposed to be pedagogical, but it is still quite dishonest to pretend that it is new.

My guess - DocuSign has a hard to penetrate moat: It's known and accepted in courts. Everything else doesn't really matter.

Imagine you're a legal department. You have to choose between DocuSign, which you know the court will accept, or a competitor. DocuSign costs 10x as much as the competitor. But that's nothing compared to the cost of litigation, or worse, the cost of losing litigation. So you will likely choose DocuSign anyways.
There are plenty of governments who are not great friends of the US. Why do they also suppress this information?
problem is that salary growth in last 5 years has been crazy

A senior engineer with 10 years exp 5 years ago made £35.
Now someone out of a 6 month bootcamp can ask for that.

That doesn't even get into all the other roles that have popped up liker product / delivery which dilute engineer contributions and narrow their skillset - which someone in their 40's has.
FAANG companies hire old people too. I’m nearly 50 and have 30 years experience in the industry and feel quite well valued at my large cloud factory. The opportunities for learning never stop and my decades of stepping in shit in various ways is seen as a thick callused hide of wisdom. :D

They're discussing a new book that was just published.
I always had this idea that meditation was the long way to the shortcut drugs offered. I am saying meditation, because, despite using fancy new terminology (RS)( ..[is] facilitated by specific induction methods involving relaxation, concentration of attention, and autosuggestion ), the paper does not really describe new phenomenon, but rather.. a new generation rediscovering 60s.

History. Rhymes. And all that.
Speaking of daydreaming, 2013 wasn't a great year for movies, so I was out of options when I went to see "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" [1], and boy it turned out to be a great one.

Google takes care of storing copies of any go dependency you use on their proxy, there is very little reason for you to maintain your own via vendoring. Maybe if you are a big enough organization you run your own proxy as an extra layer of safety above google but still I don't see the value of vendoring these days.
Ooooooh wow, I remember digging into R internals a while ago for something and seeing `sexp`, and only NOW am I connecting it to Lisp's SEXP!! That makes so much sense!

Does RData derive from LISP images? Because if so, that'd be quite the revelation to me.
> Since periods can indicate a serious or angry tone

I will forever refuse this idea. I use a period to end my sentences because that’s how a sentence ends, not to communicate a tone.
By labeling them toxic, it implies the existence of non-toxic HN comments. Fringe researchers have been searching for years, but mainstream scientists regard non-toxic HN comments as a form of cryptid.
That's not the biggest issue. Windows is built on layers, some dating back to NT. It's a much more complicated beast than a Mac, where Apple deprecates APIs every now and then. No current Mac can run MacOS 9 applications.

On a Windows PC it's common to go deeper into the OS (say, to figure out why the wi-fi stopped working) and find UIs rendered with 3 different ways to anti-alias text, sometimes in the same window, and that's not even counting the vendor-specific UIs that import their own look and feel. All that speaks volumes how parts of the OS are seemingly left to rot while newer and prettier ones are built on top of the rotting pieces. The result is that every current Windows PC can run ancient windows applications (I believe 16-bit ones, at least, are no longer supported).
Congratulations, you have completed the game. Now you are asking for easter eggs, hidden maps and how to unlock the next difficulty level.

My advice as someone in a similar life phase is to play something different. I understand you want money but all that chatter about roles, levels,... It bores me to death, which by the way is not that far. Pick something you actually like because most probably you are not going to get much further.
Don't forget that you can literally concatenate jpegs and zipfiles [header at start of jpeg, but at end of zipfile], so the valid jpeg can also be a valid zipfile.

Combine that with something like Safari's insistence at automatically exploding zipfiles on download, and you got yourself a party.
Well, Windows too. I recently had to set up something simple on a Windows 10 machine, I quickly checked by tab-completion if a python binary is available so I copied by setup script only to discover someone smart decided to redirect the binary to the Windows Store. Yes, I know the rationale behind this, but still. Just like hijacking nxdomain.
iOS Safari saved the image in my photos, as any regular picture that I do a long tap on.
It works like this: Here's a guy who makes $50K a year, has $20K in assets other than his house, and his house is worth $150K, of which $30K is equity. Taxes are proportional to that $150K. Total assets / house price is 1/3.

Here's a billionaire - literally worth $1 billion. He doesn't have a $3 billion house. So the ratio of total assets to amount covered by property tax is much more favorable to the billionaire. His house may be $30 million, but total assets / house price is 33/1.

If you can convince someone in Turkey to lend you money at a cheap rate, then you can pay it back later in inflated currency. Of course, banks generally jack up interest rates when inflation gets high, but sometimes they are forced not to (and it is usually the ruling class that is allowed to take advantage of those loans).

In general, you can only make money on these things either via information asymmetry or flat out corruption.
Unrelated to open source, but DocuSign is literally one of the examples i list when explaining why the tech sector is over bought. They've tripled their market cap since the beginning of the pandemic, and while there is some merit to work from home, their moat is laughable. There are plenty of alternatives to DocuSign that should make share holders terrified... Adobe Sign, Panda Docs, HelloSign - i wouldn't even bet against notarize.com

Someone is going to roll a decentralized ID system on blockchain and tank this whole sector...
I've signed PDFs digitally overlaying a digital version in Preview on a Mac, which is free -- for all parties. I'm not sure how much more legal wiggle room there is for that version vs Docusign.

Either way, as noted, DocuSign has other features.
Unfortunately, right now, it seems unlikely :(

There are already reports of (vaccinated) young people getting seriously ill.

Unlike with other viruses, there is little selective pressure towards being less deadly, because illness/death mostly happen after transmission.

And while I'm not a virologist, it doesn't seem far-fetched that "breeds higher viral loads more quickly" would be correlated not only with transmissivity, but also with "kills more".
Most everyone agrees the price to earnings of stocks is crazy high right now for stocks. Everyone is expecting a crash at some point. That said, no one has any idea when it's going to happen, and how bad it will be. If history is any indication, eventually the economy will recover and will continue to grow. How long will that recovery take? Again, no one knows. Point is, you will probably be fine with stocks if your time horizon is long enough.

IMO Crypto is a ponzi scheme that is simultaneously hurting the environment. Others feel differently. The only real value I've seen come out of crypto beyond making illegal activity easier is immigrants from El Salvador can now send money home without fees.

Ray Dalio has an interesting "all weather" portfolio for capital preservation regardless of what the market does, part of which holds precious metals. Beyond that, metals and commodities are speculation IMO.

If you are nervous and want to sleep better at night, just adjust your asset allocation to be more bond heavy (ex. 65/35 stocks/bonds). Thanks to inflation, TIPS are killing it this year. Also, max out your Ibonds if you haven't already.
id also bet their backend does all kind of fingerprinting of who/what signs a document to ensure they can make the electronic signature defensible.
As a gamedev beginner, I was pleasantly surprised by Godot and GDScript. The API is fairly sane (just enough magic to get out of your way), documentation is good, GDScript is easy to pick up if you know Python and the exporters for HTML5 (wasm) and Android worked without issues out of the box.

There are some weird things here and there, but so far the pros far outweigh the cons and I see myself prototyping ideas quickly in Godot.
Yeah, the various explanations are a bit like geometry vs. algebra in maths. They're different tools for explaining the same things.
100% agree. We looked at sourcing different providers for a project, but for things involving trust, the known brand is an easy choice.
Sorry for late response, but no. RightAlt+q gives æ, RightAlt+w gives å and RightAlt+l gives ø.
I would not be surprised that, with all the fleet management tooling we have for servers, that it wouldn't be cheaper and simpler to manage a fleet of Linux machines with unprivileged users.

A lot of problems on Windows (and Macs) is with programs the user decided to install.
> Why is this discourse happening in public?

Because that's the appropriate scope to discuss what the moderation team wanted to start a discussion about: Processes and structures.

> They want to use public opinion to bring reforms to the Rust governance but not divulge any details?

What they said was basically "Someone did something shitty, we wanted to clean up the discussion, but couldn't because of the current structure where the core team isn't | doesn't see itself as being under any obligation to listen to the moderation team".

Those are all the "details" needed for the subject of the discussion, namely processes and structures. The details of the original "shitty thing" are irrelevant; the same (lack of appropriate) processes and structures applies to any such incident involving the core team.

This all seems pretty self-evident to me; I'm dumbfounded by how many commenters here on HN can't seem to grasp this fundamental but utterly simple difference.

Your quote from the subreddit only shows that the moderators there do get it (no wonder, being partly the same people), and are therefore (quite properly IMO) trying to quell speculation about the (irrelevant!) "original shitty thing".

It shouldn't be so hard to see that there's absolutely nothing wrong with that either.
In the US I know several people who have died of covid.
