Well, Republicans haven’t quite shifted their views/policies enough to include Hispanics as a whole in their party. Rabiblancos (Panamanian Spanish term) are acceptable but even ones like Rafael Cruz feel the need to go by names like “Ted”. Republicans went hard for the white nationalist vote in 2016 and 2020. Can they shift enough, soon enough? I don’t know. They have a propensity - and Democrats too - to care about the next election and not long term.
I usually fail 6-8 interviews for every 1 I pass completely. Sometimes because I genuinely much a question, but often because they are asking questions with little relevancy.
I wouldn't lie with a specific number, but I would answer it with either one of these two options:

1. You're probably more aware of the market conditions than I am and I trust you to make me a competitive offer should we both agree this is a good match

2. I have an embarrassingly high compensation in my current role, and I am not comfortable in divulging it, because very few employers are able to match it and I'm not expecting them to

Both answers put the onus on the employer to put out their best offer possible, and any push back is basically a huge red flag.
Why would Google need to partner/collaborate to steal what would be publicly described in a patent?
Diversification. Why on earth would you bet all your eggs on crypto? Hold a little gold or fiat or just tradeable commodities but don't give up on crypto just because of power outages. You don't throw away your PC just because the power goes out sometimes.
When I recently bought a property my bank had a way of verifying my account to the mortgage lender that did not require me to give my password to anyone. It was a temporary read-only look to verify that I had the down payment. Why can't Venmo use similar procedures?
Thank you for this. I didn’t even know raccoons don’t carry rabies where I live. We’ve always worried about the raccoons that come over and try to eat our cat food from an abandoned house nearby. Now I don’t need to fear.
I'd think they can ban cryptocurrency about as effectively as they can ban foreign currency (which is to say, not very). If you're willing and able to break that particular law, it's not really an argument in favor of cryptocurrency.
You know what a capitalist is in Argentina? Javier Milei (basically a libertarian). The rest goes strictly towards socialism in the sense that is more to the left from that in economic terms.

Capitalism is basically free market, no price controls, prviate property respect and low regulation. Argentina is number 148 in the index of economic freedom. Would you call that capitalist? Not me: https://www.heritage.org/index/ranking
I am talking about just verifying your identity. You spend 5 minutes punching in your life story via a numeric keypad so that you can get transferred to a person, then you spend another 5 minutes phonetically spelling out your life story why?

It is even stupider in a chat bot, why are people not able to scroll up to see what you have already typed in?
"Becoming a social site" is easily taken the wrong way, it doesn't mean "becoming like facebook."

A big part of FOSS is community contribution. This is social in nature, fundamentally. So forges are already social in the sense that many people can contribute with bug reports, PRs, comments on issues, forking, merges, etc. These forges wouldn't be becoming more social, they're already social, all that's changing is they won't be islands anymore.
Interesting thought. Are autistic traits also seen in animals?
That is essentially the same thing as “taking away”. Well worth being outraged about.
I think you might over-estimate what the current computer vision models are capable of. They are very good at recognizing what class an object belongs to, but they aren't very good at extracting data about the object based on the image. Extracting data of objects from images is image recognition, and humans and most animals relies heavily on vision to get data about objects.
This was my favourite part working for an e-commerce store that had an archaic inventory/order management system. While not EDI, I wrestled with a multitude of large CSVs that needed to be parsed in order to have a complete picture of the inventory and orders.

I would love finding the system was able to export a slightly more helpful CSV somewhere in a hidden menu that would enable me to gradually remove my spaghetti code or reduce the number of CSV imports.
Or you dodged a bullet as they probably also fill their day with useless crap that adds zero business value,but checks all the boxes. You might have ended up equally annoyed at your co-workers and management.
What is there to say about low vs. high functioning autism? People with low functioning autism can't be helped by social movements about recognizing human diversity, they can be helped by medical research and support for their parents. High functioning autism probably can't be helped by social movements either (what's the plan, to talk everybody out of using the subconscious screening system that makes them not like people with neurological disorders? can the discomfort that is felt when someone with MS is making jerky movements be reasoned out of people's guts?) but that's another question.

Maybe this debate is nothing more than a sink for the energies of people who honestly care but can't change anything, keeping them occupied until medical science sends the whole issue the way of dwarfism.

To be really honest here, New York City's labor market is famously exploitative of creatives and depending on the employer the same job can pay $200k or be an illegal internship with a metrocard stipend.

I know an animator who was "interning" full-time for 12 years before someone intervened and made them speak up for themselves to demand a paying job.

Good copywriters are worth every penny you can pay them, but I see loads of legitimate businesses trying to pay minimum wage for fulltimers.
Sure it does. We're a sexually dimorphic species that can only reproduce with one XY and one XX.

Differentiating between them is vital to the continued existence of the species.

Talking with your buddies of the same gender about how you were hanging out alone with one of the opposite was a tribally significant thing in the early days of speech. It still today implies you might be mating! And babies might be forthcoming.

> Do they license the patents from Sonos?

IIRC Some other companies made agreements with Sonos to avoid suites (incl apple i blieve?), but sonos has claimed that google was bullying them over a number of things, including the claim that GAssistant only supports one assistant/wake word at a time, per contract, but alexa does not have this limitation. But thats apparently why the android app is worse, they don't support casting, and they're focusing on the apple/alexa ecosystem (airplay, etc).
This seems plausible that it has something to do with our economy and maybe capitalism specifically, and I’m kinda familiar with Marx, but I wonder if there isn’t more to it. The reason I say this is because I think I’ve worked the hardest in my life when I started a business. I’m not 100% certain, because I’ve put in a lot of long hours on my various jobs. But, it felt like it was much easier to work long hours on my startup than it did for BigCo or even for someone else’s startup. The desire to make my startup successful, and the fact that I was the owner and was responsible for anything bad that happened, that all made me work even harder, I think. Poking around on HN, it sure seems like lots of other startup founders do the same and might be working harder than the average worker bee.
Reductive? Listen to yourself.
Correct, you'll just have to go to another state to get one, or build your own from a small motor kit.

If you have any experience with US gun laws, you know exactly how this works.
This is a great example of chatbots working as intended.

A human agent has no fucking idea where your package is either, and almost certainly there are processes in place to get it to its destination.

The only thing to do in such an instance is to bullshit the customer until the package eventually arrives and they leave you alone, and I can't think of a better way to achieve this at scale than with GPT-3.
>is the lifestyle of someone with 100% confidence in their social safety net

Sorry, but millions of working and middle class people without any "net" have done it in history, I'm sure millions have done it in the US, and millions will continue to do the same thing in the future.

As for "whitest"? Tons of blacks have quit their jobs and safety nets and tried their luck in what was termed "the great migration", while having shit for a safety net. And tons of white, latin, jewish, etc. people have done it post WWII, all the way to today.

I know at least a few people in their 30s and 40s with harldy anything in their name, that quit a shitty (but steady) job and travelled the world on a whim, with almost nothing in their pocket (and no safety nets).

You only need to not have people depending on you (like small children). You don't need a degree, parents, generational wealth, or even money in your bank to do anything.

And it doesn't need to come to some happy rich ending where they made money in their quiting job/travelling/etc. Some just come back and eventually get another job. Some just find a partner or a new country to stay, and that's it.

Yes, it's a common journalistic trope to dig up the weakest, least defensible alarmist take and debunk it. Dismantling the strawman allows you to take a general pro-policy stance without explicitly defending the policy. Simultaneously, you discredit opponents by implied association with the weak argument. It boils down to a form of motte-and-bailey fallacy.

That's not exactly historically accurate.
Needed a break from work and figured I'd take a shot at a random comment. Pardon the rant...nothing personal...here goes.

So, I'm not saying that firing the guy in this particular case was a mistake, but how do you arrive at the broad conclusion that rejecting people based on social norms (many of which are arbitrary or based on fear/ignorance/etc) is necessarily the best thing? The boundaries of the "envelope" change all the time, and arguably for the better sometimes.

Example: Was it a "good thing" when people could be fired (or not even considered) because of their race/religion/sex? Are we not better off when we overcome our differences and work together?

I think the situation how to handle the creep has less to do with evolution and more to do with what's good for business. If the guy had been valuable enough to the company, I think they probably would have made more of an effort to help him fit in. Thus the "need" to reconcile. Absent that, the only thing that can really save his job is the person who does the hiring/firing. Maybe they have a soft spot for creeps. And that would be where the boundary might get pushed a tiny bit. Or, maybe morale plummets and the company goes bankrupt.

But if someone discovers a way for alleged creeps to work in harmony alongside non-creeps, then your talent pool to choose from will expand, less people will be fired for just being who they are, and barring any unforeseen consequences, you will have made the world a little better.

Bonus: Did you know in Spain, its totally acceptable to stare? At least that's what I've been told. Imagine if the dude had just spent too much time in Spain and got used to staring at people. And they fired him without even taking the time to figure that out!

I just scrolled to the section on Pizzagate because I knew it would be in there. The article’s main proof for debunking it could be honestly paraphrased as “come on! this is ridiculous!”

True, but that hardly debunks anything. If anything it’s further proof that Pizzagate is real!
You can get to Uruguay by bridges, too, but it takes a lot longer if you're coming from Buenos Aires or going to Montevideo, and you can't get there from Paraguay without crossing into Argentina or Brazil first. Montevideo was presumably brought up because Argentines bank in Uruguay, not Paraguay. Nobody banks in Paraguay.
> In the end, steno itself is probably not a lot harder to learn than QWERTY (although I think more frustrating because the "hunt and peck" option for steno is less intuitive and often slower). But it requires sort of a "supporting ecosystem" of skills and tools that is more complex and not amenable to use cases other than natural language. That makes it much less attractive for general use.

100% agree, also it may be harder because in the US we still don't teach kids how to fucking read correctly. It's still common to have elementary school curricula that do not teach how letters are related to phonemes _at all_.

The advice is to give much less notice than that.

> A trailer park is cheap as hell.

So you keep saying. Care to put some numbers to that? Try ballparking the per-unit cost of land, improvements, and construction for what is essentially single-family development in and around the bay area. Then let us know who's going to pay for it.

> But that doesn't change the fundamental problem at play here. The price of current homes is too high

Literally not a single person here would disagree with that. You're not saying anything new or revelatory. You think you have some kind of nuanced perspective, but you're just repeating what everyone else has said here for years; runaway housing inflation, nimbyism, etc. Yes, true, very good.

I don't think anyone who believes the solution to homelessness involves building "cheap as hell" trailer parks in the most expensive areas of the country can have thought about this too deeply.
- This (whatever it is) will lead to vendor lock in and more incompatibilities as usual
- It will cause privacy problems, despite little hip kids pretending that caring about privacy is not cool, then again video cards are already full of privacy problems, and just connecting to an online game uniquely identifies you. These are not the end of the world but they are a misfeature.
- It will cause security problems. Every time someone implements some trash like this that mentions it "has security" in an abstract content-free marketing description, it causes vulns. Cloudflare leaking bank passwords to other websites and the RCE in Intel ME come to mind
- This is the 1000th time an OS/hardware vendor has proposed a "security" gimmick that we are all forced to put up with because of mindless consumers. The previous 999 things have failed to even remotely achieve their goal.
- Whatever it is does not conceptually solve game cheating; the multiplayer design meta is broken and in flux for the last 30 years. Right now anyone can make their own client for a game. Is this allowed? Oh no it renders shadows with a different set of pixels, what will we do? Oh wait, so do video cards probably (not into 3D so no idea).

Besides the energy costs, what's the answer to PoW miners' effects on the GPU market? Especially as the supply chain is already strained by COVID-related increases in consumer demand. While I'm still concerned by mining energy costs, the optimal equipment needed should be separate from consumer-grade, e.g., how datacenters won't be hoarding Core i9 processors or RTX 3080s.

> Apple Silicon can't stay ahead forever and will hit a plateau. It's inevitable.

Yes.

> At that point, they don't have the option to call Intel or AMD again. What are they going to do then?

I think there will be plenty of vendors, including Intel and AMD, willing to sell to Apple, actually.

They also have other potential alternatives - Apple is also rumored to be doing lots of R&D into RISC-V and other architectures that don't require licensing ARM.
Tried this.
Quit and lived a truly romantic life for 2 years. Most happy time of my life - really.

But my ventures didn't succeed. With no partner or family to fall back on, I did contract development to not piss away savings. Hated the work, ran out of novelties to indulge in my free time, and became severely depressed.

Suggesting that anyone other than himself should do this is naive.

In stark contrast to the majority of top level comments here, I am very happy with this 'zine's existence and am always happy to come across it.

That's not very smart because batteries are terrible!

Most of my electric portable appliances had their battery die on me or decline significantly at some point and since many were either:

1) not replaceable or

2) replaceable with an impossible to find spare,

I had to dump whole perfectly working items (except the dead battery). This could be mitigated if there is a standard battery format but for many reasons it will oppose good engineering for each item.
Congrats on this milestone!
