"The report of my death is greatly exaggerated" San Francisco, Dec 17, 2021.

Every article about the death of SF since the 80s has a litany of commentators saying how true that rings for them validating the article (and validates their own decision) - and yet it is still stands. The comment section is obviously HIGHLY biased towards sour grapes.

Anyways while the litany of problems will always need to be fixed I just don't see any major city in the lower 48 that competes. Sorry all you valley emulators - best of luck re-branding your city the next valley - probably better to strike out on a different marketing campaign then trying your we are the next silicon ___ (insert geologic formation here).

Love Zulip. Structured conversations are possible, which is what i want for a business setting. Topics are a great implementation.

Code syntax highlighting and code playgrounds are nifty
The Chinese government has seeped its way into nearly every facet of American life. This is most visible in Disney movies (see: the Mulan and Lion King remakes) but it is happening to many companies and universities where they use our own greed against us. I hope America will wake up and realize we have fighting a hidden war, but we are so divided I doubt we'll notice until we've lost, if we notice at all.
But... We're a family.
Yeah, but you open yourself up for lawsuits. People being like "my toddler drew a lion 10 years ago, and the model trained on that data brings in revenue and I would like some of that". Legal boilerplate isn't designed to be a reasonable conversation between people, it's meant to try and immunize the company from crazy lawsuits.

I was there and saw some of this during my time at Netflix.

I've also been in the industry long enough to get my own sense of what is / what is not reasonable.

The first thing, Netflix wise, is to understand their culture deck at the time. One of the main things was "Act in Netflix's best interest". That basically described their philosophy of how employees should act.

So, when signing a contract, where you get a 10% kickback, (eg the company pays $200/hour and you get $20 as a commission, its better to have the company pay $180.)

Also, signing contracts that he was enriched by - stock, kickbacks etc. (he received what is now worth: $862,500 of sumologic, and $2,167,700 of netskope - trial document #276

He also signed contracts that were never deployed, had a long support lifetime, or didnt meet the companies needs - eg: Numerify, and docurated - trial document # 288

In some cases, I personally experienced us having to use tools that Mike had signed for that were not right for the job. Eg: Sumologic at the time was a horrendous product. It certainly was not a realtime logging system. Realtime was up to 15 minutes delayed. If you wanted realtime, it was all about syslog. I brought this up, and was told that we were using the product because of Mike, even though it clearly did not help our problems. Grep on the unix server was considerably faster and more up to date, (but it wouldnt have got Mike $2M of stock).

Mike also had me meet with him and various vendors who were pitching some fly-by-night ideas. In a normal world, I'd say they were very early startup ideas that weren't a match for our needs. Now, I'm wondering if these were meetings where Mike was looking to get an "advisory" angle.

In summary, I've been to coffee, dinners, very nice meals etc. with vendors. I've had them invite me places for meetings, and I've gone with my companies permission and understanding. I've had non-compensated advisory positions. The difference though, is my company was aware of it, and I did not receive stock or engineer contracts such that I received kickbacks. Thats where the line was, and thats why he's going to jail.
You can disagree with the expectation of privacy but it’s been held up in court multiple times that personal actions ok a corporate resource are not protected.

Ideologies and realties are different. If you care about personal data, don’t put it on the company. The company however has a huge liability with your personal data. I’ve mentioned else where I have dealt with issues of personal data becoming an issue for the company via blackmail, or in a couple cases, the company was legally required to report child pornography. So yeah, if you don’t want the company to know, don’t put it on their equipment. If you buy dedicated equipment for work, use it for work and work only. If you want to use your machine for Everything, that’s fine, but understand the risks and the lack of an expectation to privacy.
Allowing booting other OSs is different than actually supporting those efforts with documentation for example. The problem with Intel Macs is not being able to boot another kernel it's all the device support that's now gone.

You are one of many people who go to great pains to inform people on HN about how ‘truly reprehensible’ modern iOS/iPadOS is. Had they listened to you, they might have been saved from their mistake.

What surprises me is that a regular visitor to HN has not seen this opinion expressed. It also seems weird that they wouldn’t know that sideloading was a problem given how many front page stories have either attacked Apple over this policy or defended it.

I have sympathy for anyone who buys something they don’t end up liking. I’m just very surprised that this particular fact was somehow not known to an HN commenter.
Oh I agree I think it’s just to scare people into thinking about leaving stuff.

This is to build your own knowledge base. In many cases, Wikidata might not have the data you're looking for. For example, in the tutorial I have linked, the task is to come up with all the products released by a list of companies. Toutiao would be a product of Bytedance. This is a relation that might not exist on Wikidata (I tried to search for it but could not find it https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q24835387).

That sort of art scene is famously broke, so there's a financially-imposed limit on the influx.

The hipster influx that was followed by the tech influx were both fueled by steadily rising disposable income (whether from trust-fund hipsters or highly-paid tech workers, later).

I don't think a starving artist influx is likely though because there's a substantial cohort of independently-wealthy people (from the US tech industry, from other US industries, and from abroad) that are going to continue to live in places with desirable climate/amenities/scenery/cultural centers/etc even if the jobs of the newly-high-income move around. So it'll probably just go back to circa-2010-hipster-less-expensive-but-still-expensive levels.
Does anyone know who runs these sketchy archive sites? They have a lot of data on political news readership.

Also, it asks me to complete a captcha and sticks me into a loop distinct from the usual google captcha loop (continues looping even after green checkmark indicates success). This makes me suspect the site is a captcha solution farm (present fake captcha to user, send solution to some bot that needs a captcha solved somewhere).
One dark and stormy night I decided to finally learn about JavaScript Proxies.
So I started reading and noticed that it was possible to inspect parameters before
function execution, and results after function returns; just like
Clojure Spec https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24432461 does.

At first I thought that I would be confined to type checking plain JavaScript functions, but I managed
to handle constructors and methods inside classes, closures, and IIFEs.
Thus TypeCzech was born with an odd but unique searchable name.

Why you might want to use:
- Type signtures are JavaScript strings, arrays, and objects; thus can be constants
- No complilation, no dependencies, no new syntax, easy to decouple
- Throw exceptions or just console.log errors

The only fact checker I would respect is a court of law, whose purpose, in fact, is to discern and examine facts. IMHO, Meta (Facebook) should not be immune from liability with respect to its editorializing and censorship other people's communications.

It really depends on what sorts of activities you like. I know a lot of non-urban older folks who are extremely active with hiking, paddling, etc.

And "dependent on car" varies. If you can easily walk distances and take public transit, not being dependent on a car can be a plus. But if you can safely drive but aren't very mobile otherwise, using a car can be more liberating.

That is the oldest line of BS ever. There isn't a bomb in his head, so energy and momentum need to be conserved. A shot from the back will never result in the head being pushed backward. Part of his brain went out the back - exit wound, that's what Jackie was climbing over to get.

A Preliminary Analysis of Privacy During Covid-19
From the linked regulatory text:

>(a) “Autonomous mode” is the status of vehicle operation where technology that is a combination of hardware and software, remote and/or on-board, performs the dynamic driving task, with or without a natural person actively supervising the autonomous technology's performance of the dynamic driving task. An autonomous vehicle is operating or driving in autonomous mode when it is operated or driven with the autonomous technology engaged

The "active monitoring" part doesn't seem to exempt them from this law. What I'm not sure is - wouldn't this also apply to high cruise control / following?
That's not the purpose of the 1A. If you read 1A it's fairly basic.

Maybe it was that specific group of people? All my associates from China had no problems discussing these issues (and three Ts) with me. Some were supporting the party, some weren't, but they still shared.

No one, naturally, would blog about it or openly shout on the street but families and friends (from what I've heard) do talk about these political issues.
But this was about public vs private drinking. Many, if not most, problem drinkers drink in private. Cherry-picking some visible issue X, that may be related to a more complex underlying problem Y, just because it's visible, is called window-dressing and is in general a very ineffective way to try to solve Y (and honestly, solving Y is often not even the goal, marketing speeches notwithstanding).
The reason Tesla does not fall under this legislation seems pretty simple to me, but IANAL…

The law applies to vehicles with the "capability to drive a vehicle without the active physical control or monitoring by a human operator".

Tesla FSD does not have this capability. If the driver does not consistently demonstrate that they are actively monitoring the vehicle and in physical control, then the “AutoPilot(TM)” feature deactivates.

”An autonomous test vehicle does not include vehicles equipped with one or more systems that provide driver assistance and/or enhance safety benefits but are not capable of, singularly or in combination, performing the dynamic driving task on a sustained basis without the constant control or active monitoring of a natural person.”
Generally speaking, I agree with you in principle, but I think the aim here is to basically be able to escape a big lawsuit if a company uses them but screws up the implementation and doesn't follow directions, then faces a loss, then sues Evervault to get their money back. It's not Evervault's fault if you can't follow simple directions, in other words. It's also not their fault if you use them for 99% of things but your dev team just slips up and forgets to integrate some piece with Evervault at some point along the way, thus creating a vector for data leakage and/or attack. Can't fix stupid :-)

But yeah I see your point too - you don't go by "what I think they intend", what gets argued in court is the LETTER of the law, not necessarily its intent. Both sides have a point here.

On the surface, this seems like FUD or at least exaggerated. Anecdotally, Americans across the spectrum are at least weary of China if not openly hostile. China does have a lot of corporate influence at the upper levels and corporations do pull many of the levers of government here, but on an individual level, I don't think it's that's dramatic. Although this topic has been sensationalized a lot, personally I don't think China is as successful as they sometimes seem.

> I probably was more of a “temporary employee” than a contractor. But what’s the difference at that point?

If you’re a temporary employee, the employer is responsible for payroll taxes, and has additional obligations to you (depending on the state). You’re obligations— both to your employer and to the IRS—are different as well.

I’m addition to unlawfully skirting regulations, misclassifying an employee as a contractor is essentially stealing from the employee by reducing the company’s tax burden and increasing the employee’s.

Forth is on my list of languages I'd like to learn but have no idea where to start, just like APL and Lisp.

I like that he didn't know you had to parse, tokenerise etc and just split on the white space and read left to right. It feels like the way I would do it.
I thought "Debt" was absolutely fantastic and "Bullshit Jobs" was err.. complete bullshit. To best honest, the very premise of that view - that the only thing that matters is people's own opinions of their job - is one of the dumbest things I've ever read and it's probably downright harmful to people that adopt it.

There are essential jobs that need doing regardless of the opinions of the workers who perform them. In fact, if people focused on the value their so-called "bullshit" jobs provide other people, rather than on their own assessment of how meaningful their job is, they would likely end up much happier.

It's an incredibly condescending and self-centered way to look at the world.

Facebook's actions increasingly resemble those of a traditional media company. They make editorial decisions about what to promote via their algorithms and fact check posts. I wonder if there's a risk of them losing section 230 protection if they continue down this path.
It's extremely difficult because the human psyche seems incapable of distinguishing "fact" from "that which supports my view", at least when the emotions are activated, and the only topics where people seek "fact checking" in the first place are the ones where emotions are activated. There may be exceptions—i.e. people whose minds don't work this way—but if they exist, they're so rare as to be no basis for social policy. (And I doubt that there are really exceptions.)

That's why there doesn't seem to be any fact checker whose calls aren't predictable from one of the major ideological partitions.

Another way of putting this is that the question, "what are the facts?" is complex enough to already recreate the entire political and ideological contest. It's understandable that people would like to reduce that contest to a simpler subset of factual questions—but you can't. Just the opposite: that apparently simpler subset reduces to it.

I've been using Zulip daily for over a month now and I love it! As do my colleagues who are now very happy users.

Looking forward to whenever Zulip implements /digress. That's something I realized was missing right from the start - how to "branch out" from a topic into a new one, creating some sort of sign/breadcrumb indicating that the message got a reply in a new topic.

Currently you can quote reply and change the topic for the new message, but there's no indication in the original topic that there was a digression, so discovery is a bit clunky.
