> responsibility to act ethically

They have the opposite responsibility, if anything... They have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders, and considering that the behavior being suggested here would see them quickly run out of business by their less-moral competition, it would probably be a breach of that duty.

The solution is to change laws about redress. For example, statutory punitive damages and attorneys' fees in lawsuits against insurers where the final judgement is significantly different from the insurer's initial offer.

Talk about what is ethical is idle because that simply does not drive corporate behavior.

Looks like people were not too impressed. I haven't seen it but from the description it looks like Chinese special forces fighting drug lords who happen to be American, not really the same thing.

Interestingly, just the other day I was reading a Tom Clancy novel and thought, surely other countries must've wrote novels or made movies where the Americans loose WWIII, or whatever. I'd be interested in a recommendation. I'm really curious how others see it going down. Although maybe it's boring, i.e. Luke gets to the end of the trench, and misses...
Municipal fiber sounds like the only solution to me. Let's stop pretending we can have a market economy when competition is nigh impossible, socialize it and be done with it.
Having both a STEM PhD and been software engineering for decades, I'd say article covers the operational aspect of the PhD, i.e. project management skills. The other half of the PhD is knowing what is a significant chuck of doable research. Newbie PhD students often err in selecting topics too small, too large to do in 3 years, or already have been done. This would then correspond in software engineering to a program managers role in selecting features for the next successful release.
Not just in SF, it's a relatively recent CA-wide thing, has happened in LA as well. Some blame Prop47:

"Proposition 47 was passed by California voters on November 5, 2014.

It made some 'non-violent' property crimes, where the value of the stolen goods does not exceed $950, into misdemeanors.

...

Under California law, though, if two or more person's conspire to 'cheat and defraud any person or any property, by any means which are in themselves criminal' they can face no more than one year in county prison, a fine of $10,000 or a combination of the two."

It wouldn't surprise me if this just accelerates the total disappearance of retail businesses. Next up: smash and grab the Amazon warehouses.
Most other countries solved the issue a century ago with Torrens title.
Omicron is ‘not the same disease’ as earlier Covid waves, says UK scientist
I'm not sure I understand your response. Could you please explain what you mean in the context of the posted question?
The first Apple phones to meet it, yes. I linked the Apple doc elsewhere in the thread about which ones meet which standards.
The original D&D dice were the 5 platonic solids, the 10s were added later.
But there are lots of shapes that can be "fair". You can stick 2 pyramids with any number of sides together, you can make a long prism with any number of sides since it will never land on the long ends, a coin can be considered to be a 2 sided die. I seem to recall somebody made a 30 sided die where the sides were parallelograms, although I never had one.
You connected the player to another player and copied it.
All of this depends on the good graces of the company that wrote the software, and I don't see how they can be trusted over good ol' physically removing a card and putting a different one in. Especially when they have a track record of being abusive to customers.
Could there have been glass lenses over the holes and it was a kind of microscope? Here's my guess: it's a magnifier to examine coins.
I had no idea there was physicists that quit the field. Does anyone know any articles or anything on this? Sounds interesting to read what their thoughts were.
This is why I am confused watching both news and sports:

On one hand, "Covid is over", let the fun begin as there's nothing to worry about. On the other hand, "Omicron is here" and they've flattened the curve on the wrong (ie, Y) axis. Even if it's less harmful, there's so damn much of it.

Both messages are stated loudly and clearly and one of them has to be wrong. Hospitalization is a lagging indicator, and fortunately admissions have not risen anywhere near cases. I guess we'll see over the next 2-4 weeks.
Any regular bi-pyramid would be technically fair. I think it's just that you tend to get rounder dice by using platonic solids or tesselating / modifying platonic solids.

By the way, you can get d100 dice.
I wonder if the reactive trend will hit make-like tools.
> bullshit jobs is a term for jobs that have not yet been automated

This is not what the term is intended to mean. "Uber Driver" (or taxi driver) is a job that performs a necessary function but one that may not necessarily need to be done by a human.

A bullshit job is one that does not really need to be done, one that provides no value to society at large and exists because of zero-sum games, ego, tradition, etc...

I don't agree with all the jobs Graeber described with this label, but it is a very useful concept.
That is specific to the DMCA, not AUP violations in general.

DMCA notices typically go to the owner of the IP addresses and ISP's have wide latitude on how they enforce their AUP.
I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to ask.

Are you asking what the implications are for ignoring morals and focusing on mechanics?

If so, the first thing I would state is that all morals are purely a social construct. There is no such thing as "objective morals" because they differ between societies and cultures.
Bullshit activities… the new drugs. Love them guys who sustain these mind traps. Nothing new under the sun as King Solomon said, but then again - do not dare claim moral superiority, u will go down sooner than not.
Yes, there is, though the specifics vary (possibly significantly) by state
Almost all residential ISPs block outbound SMTP to prevent their IP space from being used to send spam. Does that cause them to lose common carrier status?
The incumbent companies in that space are.

while we’re sharing personal experiences:

1. have seen people get their laptops snatched in coffee shops, right in front of them

2. friend mugged at gunpoint at emeryville bart station, and pistol whipped on the head even after giving up his belongings

3. had someone break into an apartment in our apartment complex

4. had a drunk guy follow me & my wife, while waving a bottle in his hand. I honestly thought a confrontation was going to be unavoidable, but luckily we got home before he caught up with us

5. a friend had her old, beat-up car broken into so often, she stopped getting the window replaced

San Francisco loves to impose regulations and collect taxes. Meanwhile tax payers and lawful citizens have to not only deal with filthy streets and mentally unstable individuals, but are also shamed for pointing out the existence of any of these problems.

the only thing keeping me sane is that I’m moving out of this shithole of a city in a month.
Even better. Promoting efficiency is a much easier sell than degrowth anyway.
Presumably the piracy apps tell those sites you're using something like Windows XP and need a certain version of the file.
I've only heard of it through China In Focus on YouTube. Our free press doesn't really report much on China. From what I've seen though, it would pass as pretty good comedy in the US. It's really over the top, similar to "The Interview" comedy movie about North Korea, except it's meant to be serious, which makes it funnier.

> yes?

No. The trope you're repeating here has some truth in the humanities and some natural sciences, but it's not true in CS.

Industry has a veracious appetite for CS PhDs. Only 40% of PhDS stay in academia, and of those only a fraction take jobs at universities that grant PhDs. Tenured CS professors somewhat leave for industry at much higher rates than other fields.

Meanwhile, undergraduate enrollments have surged without a corresponding increase in PhD enrollment.

Multiple sources of demand are surging, but supply is waning.

From a CRA report on the subject:

The demand for PhD’s in computer science (CS) in the US continues to outpace the supply. Both industry and academia struggle to fill positions. Since 2014, approximately 2000 CS PhDs have been awarded annually and about 60% of new PhD graduates take jobs in industry [ZwBi19]. The rapid growth in undergraduate CS enrollments during the last decade has significantly increased the number of open faculty positions at academic institutions, but has so far not led to an increase in the number of PhDs graduated.

Historically, US PhD programs have relied heavily on international students. Figure 1 shows the number
of CS PhDs awarded annually to domestic and international students since 1985. The percentage of
domestic PhD students graduating decreased from 69% in 1985 to 37% in 2018.

The reliance on international students to drive innovation and leadership in computing research in the US
has become unstable as international students increasingly face obstacles or disincentives to study in the
US, and an increasing number return home to attractive opportunities after graduation from a US
university. Moreover, some areas of computing have security implications that make positions in those
areas inaccessible to non-US nationals. The continuing demand for PhDs in computer science combined
with this instability of international student participation requires bold action to increase the number
of domestic students completing a PhD in computer science.

Bullshit job from the OP is something more like high frequency trading or SEO.

Show HN: Apf – a small tool that exposes container's ports automatically
About 10 years ago, the recruiters at Netflix focused on Midwestern/Southern devs. It seemed like there were a lot of good people working for Target/Walmart/Dominoes/Playboy, etc. who were mostly getting overlooked. Netflix paid enough money to convince most of them to move to California, and some of our best people came from there.
1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire
But we can't start yesterday, and leaving them in the ground starting today is too late. So we really have no choice but to figure out how to take carbon back out of the atmosphere.

Besides, technology can help us leave fossil fuels in the ground. It's not like all those solar panels and batteries aren't advanced technology.
Works for me, not the greatest article to be honest.
> Another good reminder that Hacker News is not above assuming the worst and gathering pitchfork mobs like any other social media.

I would go so far as to say almost no group is, they just have different preconceptions that encourage assumptions of malice in different ways and directions.

There is no substitute for more facts about the situation, no matter how much we'd like to assume the details that aren't given.
> If there was even the slightest expectation there would be a judge,

Okay, I'm confused. My anecdote, which comes from Australia, indicates a 100% expectation of a judge. Are you saying that in Texas, a $US6K matter is likely to be considered too vexatious/trivial to receive a trial?

Or is it actually possible to decline a lawsuit in the USA?

This is an "explain it to me like I'm five years old" moment. I really don't know what you guys are talking about.
The focus is just on converting dates, there's no idea of formatting dates (other than a simple, localized ISO string, which may be useful to some for further parsing). It returns an object with numeric properties, letting you decide on what to do with it and what the actual format should be.

Since it relies on the Intl implementation of the browser (which is supported by all modern browser, but only partly by later versions of MSIE), it's light-weight (ca 1.3 KB minified and gzipped) and should be up to date regarding day light saving time, etc., without any further maintenance required. (On the other hand, as you rely on a user's browser and the OS – as in the demo widget –, it is not recommended for mission critical tasks, like in banking. But this should be rather obvious to those designing such applications.)
To clarify, the user rsync runs the service rsync.net, AFAIK he didn't write the tool rsync (that was Andrew Tridgell, who now writes Ardupilot).
The big question is that after the fed raises rates and markets crash some point later, will the fed go right back to easy money or keep rates high? Everybody seems to be assuming the former...
I have never been in a company that will give out raises, nor one with meaningful equity grants (we get equity, but it was 3K at my last company or nothing to deter switching jobs).

So everyone (myself included) switches companies annually. In 2.5 years, I have had 6 (soon to be 7) different managers across three companies.

Lots of smart people involved and great to work with, but the incentives of this industry are for short fast tenures.

I ran into John Madden a few years ago at A.G. Ferrari in Soma (he had a residence nearby at the St Regis). He cut in line in front of me, to get his seemingly daily sandwich. The lady behind the counter and I let it slide.

I'm glad I didn't quote the game (or worse, say "boom, tough actin tinactin"), but it was definitely interesting to have thought "Huh, what a wild life. Now he's just an old man who wants a sandwich like anyone else".
CCS is not a stopgap it is stage dressing for an illusionist. It’s a sham, a smoke and mirrors trick, a misdirection.

It is far cheaper to simply pay a fossil fuel plant to stop operating than to provide meaningful levels of emissions reduction via CCS.

There is a cheaper option which is to facilitate the establishment of commercial renewables programs which will compete the fossil fuel burners out of the market.
The most impressive thing about him is he is a football legend to different generations based on his work in three separate disciplines. People born in the 1950s or earlier remember him as a Hall of Fame coach. People born before the 1990s remember him as the country's most beloved sports broadcaster. People born in the 1990s or later remember him as the guy behind video game football. It is hard to think of anyone else who had a similarly large impact in one field in three such distinct ways.
> screen recording

I’m sure some tools work but the in-built one in macOS (QuickTime) doesn’t. I was trying to capture a couple of seconds of video but all I got was a black screen.

I understand wanting to disable video capture but I’ve also noticed image capture being prevented in some cases.
We could take newborn children and give them to apes to raise or leave a bunch of children on an island to see what happens.
Qualified actuary here also from UK. You're right about insurance being a legacy industry. In terms of the exams, if you can pass A-level maths, you can pass the actuarial exams. I found the main reason they were considered hard is not because of the subject matter, but due to the amount of content that had to be learned in a short space of time.
I have one and run KOreader on it. The stylus is good for highlighting passages, but as for being a contender to my paper notebooks ... I'd still take my worst pens over it. There's just something so ... one-dimensional about the navigation of pages on electronic devices. The ability to zip around and 'random access' bound pages just feels natural in a way nothing seems to be able to replicate for me on any kind of electronic device. Sometimes it feels like looking at the world through a straw.

EDIT:

Also the storage is just too tiny. It's really the thing that aggravates me about it the most. (No, I won't cloud. I operate too often in environments with no outside net access. And if the whole point is to have everything on one compact device, I want everything on the device.)
This implies that anything that is scarce or requires labour to obtain automatically becomes desirable and rises in value.
Based on the question in the article the skills you get from this would carry over.
Corporations are no more ethical than wild animals. "Responsibility" doesn't enter into it, the fact is they don't understand human morality and can't be made to, so you have to handle them with that in mind.
I used a VM at Linode and Vultr to spoof emails to O365 and Proof-Point as my manager at the former company to remind them to fix the settings in O365 and Proof-Point. Their default settings are very relaxed and I was never flagged so if your friends are getting spam-boxed or bounced, it's based on the admin settings for their org and SPF ~ vs -. They did fix the settings and they now properly label emails as spoofed but not spam-boxed. O365 spam settings can get sticky and confusing really fast especially if you add many work-arounds for broken things.
There's something fundamentally satisfying to the human psyche about understanding a set of rules and optimizing actions against them. I think it hits that 'feeling smarter than something' nerve.

We've probably lost some potentially fantastic physicists to MMOs.

I think they use Widevine in Chrome but Fairplay in Safari? And presumably Fairplay if you’re using the official app on one of their platforms.
Of the threads you’ve listed, one deals with app entitlements to call the addPlan API, which is nice to have so a carrier app can directly provision an eSIM, but not needed for eSIM provisioning via QR code. For the other two threads, it’s the same person both times making the assertion Apple’s eSIM is proprietary, with all comments being 3 years olds and discussing a beta iOS version.

So would take all of those sources with a large pinch of salt. If Apples eSIMs we’re proprietary, I would expect to be easy to find articles discussing the fact, given they’ve been around for a few years now.
You are right. Imagine that you had a fancy speech-recognition interface to your system. When you pronounce the name of a command, there's no difference whether you pronounce it uppercase or lowercase.

Also imagine having two files in the same directory which differ only by case. What would be the benefit of being able to have two or more such files?

Are there any use-cases for which case-sensitive file-system is better than case-insensitive one?
From what I've seen it mostly it's Americans writing about the US losing the next world war in fictional books like Ghost fleet: A Novel of the Next World War or Twilight's Last Gleaming.

That doesn't come off as "lazy research" to me. The author didn't write "the earliest time this happened was 2005", but rather "at least as far back as ....".

The author's correct in their wording, and the point was simply that getting real money out of games in some way is not novel to this new "play to earn" genre.

The point of the article was to talk about Axie Infinity and Bullshit Jobs in the present, not to spend significant time on historical background.

To be honest, I think using Second Life, or runescape, or such as an example, instead of Ultima Online or such, actually is better writing in that it's more likely to be something the audience is familiar with, or at least can google and read more about. In that sense, using a well known historical example is less lazy writing than finding the oldest possible thing that others are unlikely to relate to for a peripheral comparison which already explicitly was worded as "at least as early as" ("kinda old, but not necessarily the oldest").
This book really helped me figure out my parents and my childhood. For my entire life I've essentially thought "my parents aren't really narcissists and they weren't outright abusive, so why have I always felt like something was wrong with my upbringing, and why do I seem to harbor resentment towards them?". Turns out they were / are very emotionally immature. This quote summarizes it pretty well:

> Growing up in a family with emotionally immature parents is a lonely experience. These parents may look and act perfectly normal, caring for their child’s physical health and providing meals and safety. However, if they don’t make a solid emotional connection with their child, the child will have a gaping hole where true security might have been.

The reason you don't see "hypertexttransferprotocoloverssl://" in that address bar right now is not the lack of tab completion.
It's not a question of competence, it's just a drag...like the construction expert who procrastinates minor home repairs. I'll stay up all night teasing secrets out of locked boxes but when it comes to entertainment I lose interest after about 30 seconds so I just don't bother to pirate stuff unless I find a torrent in the first 30 seconds. I could just be reading a book instead.
That's not true though? It's entirely possible to be healthy right up until the moment you die and never get into a situation that a doctor or hospital could help with.
