Big tech, like high finance, is a Democrat aligned industry. Big Oil is a Republican aligned industry.

Leftists are anti-corporate power in the public sphere.

None of this is paradoxical.
Monopolies aren't motivated to innovate. (At least not in helpful ways.)

This is why the web is stagnating with near Chrome monopoly, just like during (shudder) the IE years.

Same for Google itself. Bing/DDG are only half-assed competitors. Google seems to be making search worse for all kinds of bad reasons, just because they can.

I'd guess most people who use an alternative to gmail specifically don't want to use Google, not because something else is better.
The theme is actually 80's and music sounds very 90s to me. This is what the 80s would feel like in 2000, is it the whole "the 80s were 20years ago" syndrome I wonder.
My wife is a tech recruiter, my bread gets buttered on both sides. It's a really funny market.
You just live in a completely different world. One side sees Jan 6 as an insurrection, the other side sees it as a modern day Reichstag fire. Republicans cannot actually abandon the latter narrative, because so much of their base see the election as actually stolen. Anecdotally, I have friends that voted for Biden and still don't believe the election was legitimate. The failures of the the current administration and their response to Jan 6 is only supporting this narrative for those that buy into it. A fortified capital for months after an election of the most popular president ever elected dies not inspire confidence. The blatantly political use of the DOJ to slap the label of terrorists on concerned parents does not inspire confidence. Unconstitutional federal mandates being imposed does not inspire confidence. Even if you are horrified by what happened j6, you're looking for sane republicans to vote for.

I think that if the current administration continues on it's trajectory, people will simply care less and less about j6. Because their everyday lives are being impacted more and more by hostile policies.

Keeping prisoners held in inhumane conditions while awaiting trial is also not helping. Even Democrats are calling this issue out. It was sickening when we did it to foreigners in gitmo, and it's sickening now.

I wish we saw some honest attempts and transparency at figuring out what happened, but... without that- the schism is only widening.
Yes, you should publish it. Don't bother cleaning it up if you don't feel like it. No one will judge you for the code quality.

Published terrible code is far better than unpublished code.

More than nuking, send kill -STOP to the zoom PID. To resume it, kill -CONT.
Honestly, it is almost certainly the opposite. The vast majority of people use PayPal on a regular basis to pay for things they buy online without handing over a CC number. Those people generally have a perfectly fine experience and they never post about it. When people do post about their experience with a company, they are far more likely to post negative experiences than positive.

Putting that aside, I think PayPal should absolutely get reamed for this behavior. Even if they're only fucking over one out of 100k customers, it is still completely unacceptable and I hope they suffer for it.
What sort of argument is this?

Should Denmark also invade Crimea so that it has access to the Mediterranean?
By far the easiest way to change incentives is with legislation and a 'right to access'. Of course easiest != easy.
Yep. Have a regular committee hearing, you get a few outlets to report on it. Haul in the CEO's of these companies to testify and you've got a news media event for days.

I'm sure there is some actual substance to these hearings and there most likely is info that they want to learn. But at this point I will say the whole thing around Jan 6 is 10% substance and 90% media theater.
There are multiple kinds of digital nomads:

1. Some make very, very little money by doing very, very little work. They don't need a lot to live where they live and their career ambitions are low.

2. Some work in sprints of 3~6 months, full time and crazy-busy. Then they do nearly no work for the other half the year.

3. Some run their own businesses and don't have to be answerable to anyone. They make between very little (far below US minimum wage) to high amounts of money (millions MRR).

I suggest you retain your senior full stack role, but find ways to go async. Don't hide that you're location-independent and timezone-shifted, but do hold on tight with both hands to your existing position (assuming you like the work/team and they like you).
Youtube does not allow "instructional hacking" videos. This is a TOS / community guidelines [0] violation. This ban has nothing to do with their advertiser.

Inactivity fee is such a disgusting practice. It doesn't cost them anything to keep the account.
Yes you should absolutely publish it. I wrote a paper about modelling radio wave propagation through the ionosphere all my code for it is on my github. The reason you should is simple, you are providing proof that your numbers aren't just made up.
The point of the license is to set your expectations as low as possible. Then, when you actually /do/ get support, you'll be ecstatic rather than non-plussed.
If you think the American people want another nation building exercise far away from us (while Germany busily buys Russia gas through Nord Stream 2 and dems block sanctions on it) think again.

A few quick points.

The US has a lot to lose here. This area is in russia's back yard, not ours. If we fight on the ground (without speaking the local language - Russian) we are back into our afghan / syria stuff.

Russia has nuclear weapons. If you say you can blow russia away think again. And again, the US has a LOT to loose, I suspect the russian populace would be able to deal with casualities etc better than the US.

When we say we are going to cut them off financially, realize that a huge amount of energy flows from Russia to Europe. And especially if they go after Ukraine then, they would have enormous control over EU energy markets. Again, not saying EU couldn't handle it, but do they have the stomach for this?

Germany BTW has shut DOWN a lot of their zero carbon nuclear power (to be "green") so they are now more dependent then ever on natural gas.

Does President Biden have the popularity and support of his caucus to start a war? Bernie Sanders is on board with this?

The US did this huffing already with Crimea.

They did this with Afghanistan where we were assured repeatedly that NO evacuation was underway while we literally watched an evacuation.

The confusing thing to me in all this is, where is Europe? France always want to be a bigger player internationally - this is a chance for the EU to demonstrate some soft or hard power if they wanted.

If there was something going on with mexico in our backyard, I can't even imagine us not getting involved (or cuba - we'd def push back on Russia putting stuff there).
As for media creation, SaaS is where its at for weak endpoints. My ancient chromebook battery is going and it could never run CAD, office, or video editing natively, but it runs onshape which is SaaS 3-d CAD, and Google Workspace/suite/apps whatever its called this week, and Wevideo SaaS video editing perfectly fast no slowdowns or problems pretty much ever. The onshape viewer works great on my phone and tablet so if I'm building something far away from my desk, I've got the prints with me. Unlike my desktop keyboard, my tablet touch screen is sawdust-proof.

Another discovery I made a long time ago was network connections are usually fast enough and small battery friendly CPUs are slow enough that its faster to send a video file to AWS (or have it there to begin with), spawn a linux box on AWS, run handbrake in CLI mode to convert the video to some obscure format on a very CPU beefy machine, and download the converted file, and delete the huge (and expensive) AWS instance, than it is to transcode video locally. Some CPU based transcoding is very slow if you don't have a lot of cores and its brutal thermally and to the battery.

If you only have one SaaS app in your life, the old meme was what do you do when the internet is down? Well, the internet is almost never down for me, I'd pick up my laptop and go to a cafe or library if it was, and everything I do is online or SaaS or VPN'd in so I wouldn't crabby about one app being down I'd be crabby about being completely and totally shut down.

That anti-SaaS argument in 2020's is like arguing that people have to drink bottled water because what would they do if tap water stopped working one day? If we're in a situation where the tap water stops working then we got bigger problems than which bottled water company to enrichen.

The linked article seemed surprised that a 2009 device could play video, but I had been using Mythtv for 7 years by that point including occasional HD video on a relatively weak settop box class of computer and doing youtube for awhile so his specs for playback seem very low compared to what I was doing in '09 on small devices, but whatever.
>complex, too much content/options for end users to decipher... e.g., "hellscape"

So basically an accurate representation of the market. :)
Changes in the gravitational field are only propagated at the speed of light, so in principle you could say something "never touched" a gravitational field if it just hasn't been reached by it yet.

Wow. I think my big take-away is to never post disclosures about a company, on that company's platform.

No, I'm not being sarcastic either. I am sure some Company-Man type was the one who stumbled across it and implemented the ban.

Of course, the other lesson is one I have learned just reading tech news for years and years: Cover your bases and plan for retaliation. Even if the company in question doesn't have a history of that.
Been there. literally used to keep a running list of the excuses from a coworker on my team. totally demotivating for the rest of us busting our butts. I was young and didnt call it out. Guess i thought our manager would notice. Maybe they did but they didn't do anything. I didnt stick around.
One of the most surprising things about the survey is that in the editors section, they didn't have anyone using QtCreator, it has had support for Nim for a few years now. It is experimental, but it has worked well for me.
> In our experiments, disabling PayPal cuts revenue by ~30% in our industries.

I’m curious- have you considered adding other third party gateways (Apple Pay/Amazon Pay/something else)? I personally try to avoid entering my card number, so my general order of precedence is Apple Pay > Amazon Pay > Paypal > card entry.
The brute force way around this is to remove the .git folder and re init the git repo.

For my 2 cents I'd prefer to see sloppy code vs no code.

> Whether one person should have the financial resources to make that decision by himself is a different question

This implies 1) a belief that wealth accumulation is zero sum, which is false, and 2) a scary conception of how property rights should work.
Interesting. Is it based on a number of employees, annual profit, or something else?

I did have to scan some documents and send it to them to prove that my company exists but nobody has called me for anything else.
I stopped reading because there was no background to anything. I landed there because I saw it on HN, but I had no idea what was going on. After a few paragraphs, I lost interest.
It's a reason, but is it a good one? It depends on the way you look at it.

I think it's possible that carbon footprint could become a (somewhat narcissistic) metric that individuals use to gauge and signal their self-worth (in addition to other vanity metrics).

On the one hand, claiming that your individual actions have reduced carbon emissions for a wide population could result in genuine behavioural changes and environmental improvements (even if it turns out to be difficult to calculate attribution to specific people).

On the other hand, if only individuals with high net worth are able to travel by private jet/yacht (a reality already, to be honest), and they are able to use their existing wealth to offset their environmental damage enough to come out net-positive in terms of ROI (image + reputation being leveraged into financial reward), then what has been created is a tiered class system without social mobility where long-distance travel is only available to a small number of people.

From that line of thinking I'd suggest that environmental cost produced per person should be a key metric to keep in mind, regardless of offsets.
> price depends on many factors

Price depends on volume.

There's negligible chance of you realistic hitting less than 1k for a functional EINK laptop unless this thing is yet another kickstarter/indiegogo scam trying to exploit the desperation of those of us with sensitive eyes.
This is a terrific, albeit deep dive into the topic.

Broadly speaking, the US has to run trade deficits in order for the rest of the world to have the dollars they must use to buy oil. This severely handicaps our ability to manufacture and produce things domestically. During the past century the US Government took on lots of debt with the understanding that our economy would naturally grow to cover the obligations. But given this international monetary system, I struggle to see how the US can manage to grow it's way out of all the debt we've made for ourselves. I would like to go on, but Lyn is a far better writer than I.
It's not Einsteinian, though. Simple Gallilean relativity is enough to model what's going on.
IMO, the most sane and moderate republicans are still pretty miserable on policy. Anyone who isn't all in on climate change is endangering the world.
Exorbitant punitive damages please, this is long overdue.
Yes.

Not to praise him too much but the Tesla he bought and the Tesla that exists today are 99.9% different. You have to have some major chops to take a small start up poking around with the Tesla Roadster concept and make it to factories on three continents producing 1,000,000 cars a year.

I think Musk is a huge ass but also that Tesla really proved that EVs work and mainstream* people want them.
Both Oracle and IBM DB2 are in this diagram as being "Cloud Native" databases. Not sure I agree with that statement.
Here is a fascinating picture of Beauvais Cathedral which captures just how unfinished it is and which also shows (like a time-freeze) how these gothic cathedrals typically replaced older romanic churches:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Ca...

If you are interested in the architecture and engineering of gothic cathedrals, I highly recommend the 2010 arte documentary "Cathedrals" - unfortunately, I was only able to find a German version:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7Wh_-02MaI

If I remember correctly, it discusses the structural weaknesses of several cathedrals (including Beauvais).
For the first time in about 10 years, I recently found myself with some physical DVDs I wanted to format-shift (show the kids some old movies on an iPad).

It was surprisingly hard to do the homework on the "best" way to do this on a Mac -- I ended up using MakeMKV to rip + Handbrake to encode, but it was hard to find a robust recent technical discussion of what the pros do.

At one point in this process I was looking at the Internet Archive's copy of http://thelittleappfactory.com/ripit/ which has just quietly disappeared from the Web? It was a bizarre experience.
You are clearly misunderstanding the tone of the conversation.

But in any case yes, Pre-WW2 Germany was "a paradise" compared with Post-WW2 Germany or with immediately post-Hitler Europe if you prefer it. (And the world is much better without cocaine fueled dictators, for sure).
My understanding is cannabis can trigger schizophrenia in those with a predisposition. Some people will have this triggered in their lifetime, and others will not. Some things like stress can trigger this, as well as some drugs like cannabis
Kaggle vs. Real AI Product Development Life Cycle
I agree with all of these questions and points, this is a huge problem and not "just numbers" argumentation anymore. Also, you're speaking only of a "hot" part of this market, corporations and patent trolls. Copyright is otherwise fine, especially if you want to sell your software yourself, even if it doesn't claim any patents. Why wouldn't I respect e.g. blizzard who gifted me with starcraft, or rake in grass for jets-n-guns, or some saas whose guys worked hard but leaked their "numbers" to the internet somehow. You can't just throw them out with the bathwater.
Governments encourage and are the ones pushing shotgun KYC so I would maybe phrase your comment more like "Citizens need to rebel against 'shotgun KYC'.
Agreed. That problem existed even before unique_ptr though; there are still some APIs that I use that hand you back pointers that you may or may not need to manage yourself. If you do need to, then unique_ptr + custom deleter is the way to go!

Hi, I’m a Research Software Engineer (a person who makes software that helps academics/researchers) at a university in the UK. My recommendation is that not only do you publish the code, you mint a DOI (digital object identifier, Zenodo is usually the go to place for that) for the specific version that was used in your paper and you associate them. And you include a citation file (GitHub supports them now: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-reposi...) in your software repo.

Benefits: people who want to reproduce your analysis can use exactly the right software, and people who want to build on your work can find the latest in your repo. Either know how to cite your work correctly.

In practice drive-by nitpicking over coding style is not that common, particularly in (some) science fields where the other coders are all other scientists who don’t have strong views on it. Nitpicks can be easily ignored anyway.

BTW should you choose to publish, the Turing Way has a section on software licenses written for researchers: https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/reproducible-research/lic...

That is certainly a factor. But in my personal experience one of the biggest hurdles for Brazilians is the fact that Portuguese have a much shorter vowel pronunciation, so the separation between syllables is much less pronounced. In contrast, some Brazilian accents have comically long vowels, so it sounds like they are spelling out every word.
As others have said, the people you describe don't leave companies.

This is actually the opposite problem of what the article is covering: instead of companies not being able to keep good people, (some) companies are not able to get rid of bad people (whatever subjective definition of "bad" you choose to use).

I've worked at some companies where it's almost impossible to get rid of people that are only causing a net loss for the company, or at the very least, are consuming headcount that could be used to hire someone much better.

Attrition is about people leaving. "Idiotic coworkers" don't leave -- they have to be pushed out. And, again, that's a completely different problem when companies can't and/or choose not to push people like that out.
No.

He was Tesla's primary funder at founding and then stepped into the CEO role when he determined the founder wasn't getting it done. 99% of the amazing engineering, design, and, most importantly, sales, occurred after Elon took over as CEO.
Broken windows conflates general economic growth with specific incentives.
I'm Portuguese and I share this concern - PT-BR does have a lot of differences in vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.

Pronunciation bothers us the least actually, but other things are weird and/or plain wrong for us:

- Lots of weird words adapted from English like "time" (pronounced "tee-me") which means team in PT-BR. Portuguese has a fine word for that already - equipa ("equipe" in BR) - and most of us speak good English so "time" is beyond weird for us.

- Wrong verb conjugations are used in informal conversation, e.g. "tu vai à praia?" (correct would be "tu vais à praia?" and generally we'd omit "tu" [you] because it adds no useful information)

- Many Brazilians seemingly think "mas" (but) and "mais" (more) are the same word because they pronounce it similarly and thus end up using "mais" for everything, even in writing

- Different usage of pronouns, e.g. "eu dou-lhe" in PT vs "eu lhe dou" in BR (or worse, "eu dou a você" - sounds like caveman language plus "você" is considered rude in PT)

Vocabulary differences make for some really funny misunderstandings sometimes though. My Brazilian neighbor's kid was really confused and scared when she was told she needed to "levar uma pica" (get a shot, as in an injection/vaccine) - in Brazil this same sentence means "take a dick". I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time.
That is an educational handicap.

Might be worth traveling to attend another university with more resources.

This would also broaden your professional network of other students.
