I agree. One addition to this is that I configure my themes so that heading-like constructs are displayed in bold; in C that would be function names in function declarations (and definitions), and in HTML say, it would be the content of <h1> to <h6> elements. The motivation for this is the same as for highlighting headings in ordinary prose; it makes it easier to get an overview of where you are in the text.
EU had to add regulation to allow startups using other's infrastructure because of the existing regulation that makes laying said infrastructure so difficult.

Do not confuse regulations made to fix even worse regulation with an actual healthy, competitive free market.

In Eastern Europe, after the fall of communism, people would lay Ethernet wire between apartment buildings to create ad-hoc communication networks. There were dozens of them. Today that is illegal and we only have a single Internet provider per city block.
Just do a Google search for the kinds of maps the some American schools use, you'll be amazed. Once, my wife had to hear from a university geography professor in America that Texas was larger than Brazil. When contested the professor said he was pretty sure.

I'm not supporting China territorial claims, but I don't expect anything different from their government. I did however expected better from the U.S.
1 billion devices each consuming 200W for 3h every day is waaaay over estimated. The PS4 has sold 115 million devices over its entire lifetime (2013-now), being the most popular modern console; and it consumes closer to 150W while gaming. Consoles are famously more popular than gaming PCs, so the total amount of high-power gaming devices is probably much closer to 300million than 1 billion.

So, let's say 300 million devices, running 3h/day at 150W, that's closer to 50TWh/year, less than even your smaller estimate for Bitcoin.
I had thought this to be true, but in certain startups with a certain culture, using a light theme will make you look like Dinosaurus who's not able to keep up with the latest tech trends. I know it's dumb, but it is reality in some places.

I am forced to wonder, though, whether Norvig's definition is a useful one. By this measure we'd have to consider bacteria to be intelligent. Corporations, too, for that matter.

(I do go along with author Charles Stross, occasionally seen here on HN: that Corporations are Old Slow AIs, in which case we've already had AIs around for centuries.)

Personally I'm happy to grant a degree of intelligence to plants (and probably even bacteria, if I squint hard enough) though it's of a quite different nature to our own. Certainly feedback loops are central to the idea of intelligence, but there's a whole lot more wanted/needed than merely feedback. And so, I find Norvig's definition a tad wide of the sort of intentionality and sentience we'd want flying a plane, and certainly far, far short of the sort of thing we'd call AGI.

This is not a "security" fix. This is a health and safety fix.

This is at the same time as we head into a) the holiday season in much of the world, b) winter in much of the world, c) an ongoing pandemic that is dealing with the spread of a new variant and the roll out of not only initial vaccines but also boosters.

Having emergency calls not go through because of a bug needs to be fixed immediately, not subject to some update cycle.

I believe Tesla’s problems basically stem from irresponsible decisions made on dubious technical basis. They’re not always architecturally wrong.
> There are lots of companies..

You can find meaning in anything if you look at it the right way, even if you're writing soulless fintech code to steal from the poor, there are probably interesting challenges in there.. How facebook manages to infer so much about their users based on the data they're stealing? Interesting problems even if they're distasteful.

> Their profile should be an honest description ...

They most certainly should ,what I mean by accommodate is not to bullshit, but to gain actual experience with [keyword] if that's really something that's a problem (I've NEVER encountered anyone saying that I miss [keyword], if asked about [keyword] I will answer honestly, ranging from 'heard of, not touching' through 'know well, not touching again' to 'no idea, can probably learn'.

> Unless your friends are recruiters they are probably too busy with their own work to find you a job...

Usually you can get a job by asking a friend to put in a word for you at their place, or just letting them know you're looking.

> Again sounds like your advice is just talk bullshit..

Making someone like in as socially-shallow a situation as a job-interview _IS_ bullshitting, it's called social norms, it's being polite and pleasant and well dressed and whatever else is typically expected. I'm not suggesting they lie or mislead, if they're genuinely an unlikable person and feel like they want to be, well, sorry, but that's probably a contributing factor to not getting a job.

> To be rudely honest you come across as a bullshitter with no useful advice.

I'm perfectly okay with that, it'd be rather a boring thread if every perspective was exactly the same, but OP feels like a typical overly spoiled primadonna to me. It's probably because I come from a somewhat less privileged background, having seen what cards other people are dealt, it seems incredibly bratty to come on HN, whining not that you can't find _ANY_JOB_AT_ALL_NOMATTER_WHAT_ but that you can't land your absolute dream job because you're basically intolerably picky and absolutely unable to adapt yourself. I'm sure OP has a lot of potential, but they seem to be so hard-set in their ways, wanting everything to be just-so in order to even give it a chance, that they cheat themselves out of it.
You keep quoting this sql-workbench guy, a if he'd be some kind of authority. He's not, and he is biased. A lot of red in MariaDB column can be green, if he researched better.

Now, if we look at your laundry list, and a "real" database, like Oracle

Oracle - Weird UTF8 - check. Actually, WTF-8, encodes supplemental character as 6 bytes, incorrectly, while the original MySQL's utf8mb3 just does not allow them, and is otherwise a strict subset of real UTF8

Oracle - No transactional DDL - check.

Check constraints - 5 years ago, MariaDB

I think you might reconsider your "To get a sense of you're talking about, compare Oracle ..." sentence. Maybe remove Oracle from that list?
Thanks! FWIW it's not a knee-jerk reaction post, though choice of words can always be better, especially for someone who doesn't have English as their native language.

I'm not irritated. I'm more lost for words. And I honestly wanted to ask others what's their experience. In 2021. In Scandinavia or worldwide. In a so-called "hot market". Post Corona etc.

My examples come from tenS of interviews, maybe even hundreds. It's not 10 interviews. Obviously many have been totally fine, regardless it still ends in a "no, thanks" on any side. But a good chunk of them are light years away from "we have a problem to solve, this is us, this is you, can we work together?"

I truly respect even snarky comments pointing out how rude and infatuated I come out, but my experience is exactly the opposite: everyone seems to be doing things perfectly, except they can't find replacements or more people, and when someone gets interested in joining, they become defensive.

As you point out, one needs to ask the question: is it me the problem? And nobody is perfect, not even close. Not me at least. But that thing is that I am expected to be perfect. Like a comment says: I should learn to lie and pass the polygraph test. Well, I will never do that, so now we know what that will get me (from the same comment).
Glad you liked it! I come from a developing country (Brazil) and always had a hard time buying stuff from other countries.

Adding Purchasing Parity Power was a matter of principle to me.
Now that is something that is true for people as well as groups. That's why it's so important to be careful how you assign your identity.
Except EU businesses also pay taxes in the country they are based in, instead of the countries they did business in, like, say, the USA.

It was a quid-pro-quo system that started becoming imbalanced when EU failed to create competitive business in tech. But that is not USA's fault.
I agree that using sunglasses, the brightness of the chars on some dark themes becomes much less of strain.
> It's interesting that the narrative is that when people move to Canada, it's because they have a deep desire of becoming Canadian.

That’s fine on an individual level but that doesn’t mean they want to merge their home countries into Canada!

Someone from Italy may move to the US but that is totally disjoint from them wanting to make Italy the 51st state. If they retain a strong positive association with the attributes of their home country, they want to retain independence to preserve them. If they have a negative association with their home country they have no interest in merging them either as they've actively distanced themselves from the negative attributes of their home state.

Someone moving from California to New York doesn't want to see CA and NY merge into one bi-coastal superstate any more than someone moving from India to Canada wants to see a bi-continental megastate.

> Meanwhile, there are now universities where 85% of the graduating class immediately moves to the US upon graduation [1]. And the numbers have actually increased during the Trump administration, despite the narrative that the US would stop attracting international talent.

The number of people who desired to stay after college went up, but visa issuance was suspended so they were precluded. They can want to stay all day long, they're not being allowed to. And that will have an effect in time. Meanwhile... [1]

Many maps -especially US maps- enlarged USSR for decades. China says "X must be visible at zoom level Y instead of at Y-5". Not at all comparable.
> Users who are paid this way receive USDP, which can be withdrawn to a bank account in its equivalent value in US dollars.

I feel like I’m missing something. How is this system any different than a centralized system like PayPal or any other traditional payment system, where users have a USD balance and can withdraw it to their bank accounts?

If the company secretly removed the cryptocurrency backend and replaced it with a centralized database, would anything at all change for the users? Or would it be functionally identical?
I was refering to the online documentation. Yes, the interactive docs are sometimes better.
The current abortion setup in America is by judicial dictat, not by legislation. If Roe is overturned, then the legislators could actually make policies that their constituents want.
Under flat tax you spend more you get taxed more.

Who spends the greatest % of their income + wealth? The poor.

Who spends the lowest % of their income + wealth? Jeff Bezos.

It's really not that complicated to see how it shifts the tax burden.

Steve Forbes pushed it like a religion for a reason. It wasnt because he loved poor people or hated tax avoiders.
The simple answer? Vaccinated people, while they can spread covid from a breakthrough infection, spread much less covid than unvaccinated people, and they have a shorter period of time while they are contagious.

You significantly reduce the risk of transmitting covid to others (should you become infected) by being vaccinated.

They're not trying to mandate that you lose your job, they're trying to mandate (as they already do - see OSHA's current body of regulations) that workplaces are safe physical environments for people to be in. It's the same story with workplaces without fire exits being illegal.

Even if you don't agree with it, it is definitely logically coherent.

As much as I don't want unvaccinated people around, I also disagree with violent coercion, so I'm not sure that I am 100% philosophically on board with the state's right to regulate trade between private parties whatsoever - but if they can rightfully require fire exits or building safety codes, they can require vaccinations in a work environment.
As with any short answer the real answer is “it depends”.
Any modern internal phone system has a dial plan and the default will certainly call 911 but you can certainly change it.
I used to work inside a call center where you had to dial 91 to get an outside line. You can imagine how many people accident dialed 911. Since we couldn’t muck with 911 we made outbound dialing straight from the sip client only and not through the handset and told people not to dial outbound to order lunch or whatever from the handset. We didn’t care about them ordering lunch just couldn’t muck with 911. But that being said I could have most certainly changed the dial plan instead and screwed with 911.
Shiki: A beautiful static syntax highlighter
As much as I like threaded discussion like on HN I think it makes following discussion over a longer period of time almost impossible as you need to look all over the tree for new replies. Even reddit's highlighting of new posts does not really fix that and is s paid feaure anyway (except in the subs you moderate) so won't have any effect on the nature of the community. Maybe having both a threaded view for the first time you want to read through a thread and a more linear view for updates would make sense.
Also keep in mind it takes year, but often the EU courts don't allow these nonsensical fines. The media doesn't usually post the appeals year later where this is lowered to 1/10th the size or thrown out.

I don't know, Russia has a long tradition (with the USSR before it) to get creative with assassinations. Everything from poisoning tea with somewhat exotic isotopes to smearing the insides of underwear with neurotoxins, an icepick to the head, or simply gunning someone down in the street.
Agree, the Great Man Theory puts too little emphasis on time and place.

I feel the Beatles wild success in the United States is linked to the incredible sadness in the U.S. after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. These four English lads were the Pollyannas that the country needed, clung to, to get out of their national funk.
Why couldn’t they have prevented the systemic collapse simply by bailing out the individual homeowners? If they had gotten bailed out, so would have their banks.
Are you seriously suggesting Stellantis is catching up? You must be joking.

And Tesla sells by far the most BEV, literally 100% more. VW is catching up relatively but globally they are still far behind. And other car makers like Stellantis are basically nowhere. The CEO of Stellantis literally just commented on that.

And Tesla is really not so small anymore and they are growing very fast.

> but each new market is basically redoing almost everything from scratch

This is very true being in that situation. Getting a German bank to buy even a Swiss product is very difficult.
Then this seems to mean that the 'Dialer' function in a lot of Android phones separates functionality at the wrong point, is that right? Having 'Dialer' as selectable should not include the ability to select what ought to be a hardware requirement to be able to dial 911. If this is true the whole pachanga falls firmly in Google's court.

>So we don’t classify jailed and tortured Julian Assange as a journalist even though he broke amongst some of the biggest news stories over the last 20 years.

I do believe he is considered a journalist but he's in prison for multiple reasons. False and retracted sexual assault allegations in Sweden. Which technically had nothing to do with journalism and far more to do with Sweden's considerable problem with rape in their country. Sweden went to the extent that it's rape if you don't have written consent for sex. They also removed all the intent/threats/violence as being part of it as well. Effectively they made sex illegal.

>Or that the Trump administration planned on assasinating him.

Woah, never heard this before. Trump directly benefitted from assange and even praised him. Though never actually helped him in any way. I believe he kinda disavowed knowing anything about him. I do believe that was a big political mistake by Trump. If Trump gave Assange a pardon... that would have been huge.

As for CIA making plans under Trump... clearly didnt happen.

> Or that Joe Biden is trying to extradite him on trumped up charges (pun not intended).

It is afterall the democrat email servers assange leaked. Biden's going all in for sure.

>Or the Black TV reporter Bilal Abdul Kareem from Chicago that Obama tried to kill multiple times:

woah, thats another i never heard. nobel peace prize obama took his attention away from his 7 wars to try to kill some journalist from his home city?

This seems more like the CIA isn't under control.

I don't think anyone can doubt that it's likely to be predictive of success. There are sheafs of papers on that: e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4557354/, though that paper also discusses confounding factors. My bigger worry is that I can't imagine any of our candidates assenting to an IQ test (outside of Scandinavia where it sounds like it's the norm).
Not sure i see your point.
I don't think it's clear yet if they plan to bail out everyone or just Chinese-based people and groups. From my understanding, evergrande had a lot of international investors.
See, I would have just put that in a userstyle (yes, I have Stylus on mobile) rather than write a blog post about it. But I'm grateful for the blog post...now I can put those lines in my userstyle.
Allow me to preface what I'm saying with the fact that I fully support abortion rights for women everywhere. However saying that abortion has no consequences on people around the mother is plainly naive. The father will be affected at the least.

I've never heard anyone vocally supporting abortion rights consider for any moment if or how much of the decision should be made together with the father. That to me is wrong and equally immoral. It's always "my body, my rules", not "my baby, my rules" as I think it should be, at least to an extent.

Practical Linux phones cannot come soon enough. I am done with this nonsense. It is abundantly clear that organically developed open source software for critical tasks such as this will always be superior and likely safer due to the informed user/developer-base's ability to deal with problems as they arise.
So, this implies that a serious bug in any program with the 'call' hook could prevent your phone from making a call, even 911? Seems like a big deal!

In software I write, the logic for 'emergency' priority events doesn't go through the same call chain for this reason.
When you have a ton of people in default on mortgage loans, and you pay off the loans for them or otherwise help with their default then people don’t lose their homes AND the banks are OK and the system doesn’t collapse.

If you take the same amount of money and just give it to the banks and they foreclose on the homeowners the banks are also OK. But the homeowners are fucked.

Guess which of those two options we chose following the 2008 financial crisis.
