I first noticed it with the article on the Orlando gay club shooting.

The initial article contained unverified reports that the suspect was himself gay, and that that was his motive for the attack. ...and mods on Wikipedia were deleting any edits that referenced the fact that the suspect's father was a former Taliban official that was admitted under the Obama administration, and was politically active in Florida, attending a number of Hillary Clinton talks despite video evidence.

References to the suspect verbally professing his allegiance to ISIS was constantly struck from the article with constant rewrites that the motive was that he himself was gay.

It was wild to see the disinformation being pushed by mods.
Fair enough, I only read the description, didn't check if it was complete.
If I recall the Stackoverflow dataset is open source or at least made available to download so I assume all these sites just download that information regularly.
Perhaps the lumping together of various opinions and he implication that the political movement doesn't accept general safety is what's causing the disconnect here. It seems that many of those being shamed on that Reddit did not share misinformation, or even any public misinformation on the vaccine.

Vaccines are generally safe. There are a number of factors that an individual may weigh to consider their value. Many of the opponents are against mandates so that individuals can weigh the choice themselves.

Sure, there are people who say things that are blatantly untrue (on both sides). We can try to shame them for false information. We still have the question of how civil this shaming should be. It also depends on group/public sentiment on how useful this will be - it could be seen as a badge of honor, group think can play a role too.
1. Judges are not supposed to be partisan
2. I'm not aware of any similar cases being brought under the Trump administration.
People were complaining it was unfair for anonymous people to be posting criticism like that and argued that it was more appropriate to either attach your name or for a journalist (who could verify experiences without revealing identity) to do so.
My pet peeve is ApiDock, which has managed to SEO itself so high up the rankings when searching for anything connected to Ruby or Rails that it is actually quite difficult to get to the legitimate, official documentation.

What's worse is most of the results are outdated so you're looking at web-scraped API docs for Rails 3 or something.

Really frustrating.
This is my biggest worry as well, what are people who clearly do not believe in medical science doing working in a medical capacity?

Are these people performing treatments on patients that they do not believe work?

The mind boggles.
The time can vary. In my case (for a product manager role) it took a few weeks. But I was in China so there were only a couple of options.

You're not interviewed by teams with open headcount. I never met my interviewers again.
I recommend using a runner like https://github.com/caderek/aocrunner, so you can focus on coding, rather than project set up.
I have my .io domain registered until 2023 which gives me enough time to look for an alternative and migrate all my self-hosted services over.

What are the best TLDs these days to own that aren't owned by large PE companies just wanting to make a quick buck?
Well that is one way to get 30% YoY company growth... I wonder how many new domains got registered and what the total revenue diff is.

Actually, could it be that the .io hype went down and this is their attempt at compensating?
Yes, I had the smug joy of getting to tell my Google recruiter to f off back in 2014 because of a number of red flags in their interviewing process, very early in my career. I don't regret it at all, and actually my decision to simply take a short-term research internship at a DoE lab instead (and surprisingly) opened a number of doors in the startup world for me that I wouldn't have even known exist otherwise.

In my case one major red flag was "having to fly somewhere before I have an official offer", and I can only imagine the new zoomer crowd leans much more in that direction. FANG doesn't respect your time or effort at all, they think you should be honored just to be in their presence. That shit doesn't fly anymore.
When I encounter it, I feel it's often a hatred of the "doers vs the thinkers"

My career path was 25 years engineering, before migrating into a hybrid EE/PM role as sort of a natural progression from being "the engineer who knew how to run the project". Once I started learning the more formal approaches to PM, it uncovered an entire world of engineers who have an incredible hatred of any sort of planning of any kind, because all planning time is wasted and we should all just be doing.

The parent comment here feels the same way. Hatred towards research because it's all theoretical (I guess?). It seems clear as day that the best approach is a marriage between the two.
Obesity is much harder to prevent than going to the pharmacy and getting a free shot (and going back a month later and doing it again). Comparing easy to hard doesn’t make sense.

I’m all for the libertarian solution here: just charge people who refuse to get vaxxed more in premiums to fund their future more expensive Covid treatments. It should not be considered a preexisting condition. This would extend to group plans, except since the risk is all pooled, it would have to be for workplaces that don't mandate the vaccine. And areas of the country that have low vaccination rates should necessarily have higher insurance rates given that vaccines require mass adoption to be effective.
Both of the companies I've worked at have given me an offer prior to a background check, and included a clause that the offer could be terminated if I failed it.

If you are not changing any DNS records (A/MX/CNAME... though you can change the NS records if you move the entire zone correctly, and the old NS servers keep it for a while too), there should never be any downtime related to a domain registrar change.

DNS propagation is not completely under your control (there can be caching DNS servers that ignore the TTL of records), so you should always give it at least 24h by serving the same zone from both (if you've changed NS records). I'd instead avoid that worry by using non-registrar provided DNS servers.

I would hope that TLD registries that fail to provide this are very few if not non-existent.
Apache Arrow is another one (analytics memory format), it supports a whole litany of languges via C++ bindings, too many to list.
I’m also an immigrant (white British!) and this resonates with me too.

Without a network you’re screwed and it is probably much easier for me than for eg a fresh Indian person.

I also definitely thought of just lying and scamming to escape the min wage trap, but I was never confident in my ability to be duplicitous.
> But it’s good to know it’s future proof - ie if Supabase go out of business or a project takes off and I want to self host with all the good stuff then I can.

Until you dig into the code base and realise that self-hosting isn't something that is sustainable, at all, the minute you need a bug fixed, or run into a limitation, without the original authors or solution partners around to support your specific installation.

Most proprietary software shops tend to have business continuity clauses and solution partners. So, on-paper, one could self-host those too in case their business goes under.
> which means that sometimes I will write an ugly solution in 5 minutes, and will take an hour to make it beautiful.

I think I spent 2 hours last night just playing around with different methods of solving it after my initial version. Other libraries, slightly altered algorithms. I think that's one of the parts I enjoy the most, solving the puzzles is fun. Trying a dozen different variations is, for me, more fun (and more edifying).
I wish private leaderboards allowed for people to "start" solving when they send the first request to the problem page. I know it can be abused, but if it's just for private leaderboards, it will level the time zone problems.
It sounds like there are between two and three examples referred to in the story. That includes the HN post, which the reporter "reviewed" but did not investigate. I am assuming this is a separate example from the other two.

Of the two remaining examples, only one person received a written offer. The other received a verbal offer, but it was rescinded before a written offer was made.

The former recruiter for Stripe said that Stripe had a "hire and fire mentality", but they appeared to be referring to their own firing, not to the topic of the story.

The former recruiter also said that Stripe's recruiting process was disorganized, and shifted priorities a lot. Changing priorities or directions is the exact reason given for both rescinded offers mentioned in this story.

Given the above, is there any reason to believe there is anything more to this story than that Stripe's hiring arm is really disorganized, and some people got offers who should not have, and those offers had to be rescinded? That is to say, what is the basis (at this time) for concluding they have a policy of making offers and then rescinding them?
This is an incredibly weak argument and the courts have already ruled similar issues.

The government can’t violate your right to free speech. They also can’t “ask” a private company to censor you as it effectively the same thing.

Telling someone “its your choice but if you don’t do it you’ll lose your livelihood” is not a choice at all.

Sites that do auto translate of original SO threads and pretend that it's their original content are the worst. Google sometimes prefers to give me that results instead of the actual SO thread because I'm not in English-speaking country. I have to waste some time to understand that it's just stolen SO thread. And it's not even that useful because some of them AUTO TRANSLATE CODE.
>Protocol spoke with two Stripe candidates who received either verbal or written offers from the company and then had those offers revoked because of “shifting business priorities.”

These things happen.

Your under no obligation to stay with a company for a minimum period of time.

If I get hired at Stripe, but after my first week move to the woods, they can't really sue me.

It's entirely possible they killed off a product line making these new hires redundant
Does ICANN already have rules around what prices registrars can charge for domains? It seems like that's the only solution in the current TLD system - ICANN needs to step in and prevent anti-consumer practices like year-over-year price increases that vastly outstrip inflation.
I wonder if Google as an organization cares enough to start a new spam crusade, but here's what happened the last time: https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/google-search-and-se...
> We could instead do a simple ratio for this correction factor; a ratio of 9/16 is technically 0.5625. However, when I was testing this, no matter how I measured the size of the tarp (in GIMP, using various DBSCAN hyperparams, etc.), I was consistently getting too high an area (closer to 8-10% error over actual rather than 2-4%)

I'm not an expert in this domain but the ratio 16/9 concerns the image size (so the ratio of screen pixels). However, would it be possible for the camera pixels not to be square? which would account for the discrepancies.
A little more courage ... :) In my view you should hold those who claim to be different from the corrupt profit-makers that preceded them to the standards they claim to embody.

Nothing will ever improve by accepting that the new boss you've just met is the same as the old boss.
Julian Shapiro, YCombinator alum, has a very nice guide to building muscle.[0]

The gateway drug to the HIT tradition, which began with genius Arthur Jones and Nautilus in the early 1970s, is this video presentation by Doug McGuff[1], author of Body by Science[2]. Whether you follow a HIT protocol or not, you should be familiar with the theory covered in Body by Science. Doug covers the definition of fitness and health (which is unusual right there for a fitness book!), the confounding effects of genetics, fat metabolism, and much, much more. The High Intensity Business podcast has all the leading figures in exercise research as guests, with a rich back catalog and very detailed links in the show notes.[3] And if you plan to do this for the rest of your life, give your future joints a break by not destroying them in your youth.[4][5]

I'd love to hug but that is pretty much suicide in the workplace. We are taught to never hug or touch someone and that's probably good for lots of people and situations, but I do miss people giving me hugs.
>>> It sounds like she had accepted the offer. She wasn't currently working, so had no current company to inform, but that doesn't make Stripe's behavior here better.

Just as bad. She might not have been working, but she might have had a landlord to inform, a boyfriend to dump, etc.

This isn't just a courtesy to other employers, but recognition of a fact that taking a new job is a Huge Life Change for most of us, with substantive ripple effects.
Is the four-day workweek finally within our grasp?
IMO .me is one of the safer ccTLDs. It's from a fairly stable country that hasn't been keen to hike up the prices or impose restrictions on who can have their domains so far; it's not often associated with spam; and it's even used by large companies like Facebook (fb.me).

When it comes to pricing, though, you never know what will happen down the road. I honestly don't know who I'd like to trust more: Verisign or the government of Montenegro?

Michael Bloomberg: Why I’m Backing Charter Schools
The house toy has a cute little easter egg: If you remove all the foundation pieces of the structure, the remaining structure above starts bobbing up and down slowly, hovering - very subtle way to acknowledge "yep, I did in fact think about that case too".
I initially thought like this as well, but after second thought I'd like if all large corps did this. It eliminates "Bro-Hires", and sets certain standard for all employees.

Of course it doesn't make any sense for small companies.
> that I have never heard of until now and whose head is appointed by one person.

Odd, the fact that you have never heard about the CMS has no bearing on whether it has the authority to issue a vaccine mandate
Ask HN: What unexpected behaviors persist in software you use?
I just got bitten by a problem in AWS CLI where S3 files won't sync when you expect them to: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/3273

This got me thinking. What are the major unexpected behaviors, or "gotchas", exist in the software you use?

Where do you see the "Principle of Least Astonishment" violated? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment

I think we may all benefit from sharing with each other. Hopefully it'll save some of us from being bitten by odd software behavior.

I'm referring to tools, programming languages, database and server software, etc. I think it would be really useful to raise awareness of these issues.
Ask HN: Are you satisfied with the invoicing software you are using?
There are many invoicing softwares in the market e.g. Freshbooks, Quickbooks, Xero, etc. Just curious, is there anything you dislike or feel are lacking in these softwares, or is the problem already fully solved?
